The tiger not only did not fear, but its fighting spirit became even stronger. It exerted force with its legs again, and its body bounced up again, moving faster than before, creating a spectacular scene in the air.Ruby's speed was even faster.Seeing the tiger leap, it quickly ascended, creating distance in no time. "Roar!" The tiger roared in mid-air, its front paws flailing as if trying to ascend further, its eyes glaring at Ruby in furious anger. However, no matter how hard it tried, even with power comparable to a late-stage Golden Stage cultivator, it couldn't stay airborne and had to fall back down.Ruby seized the opportunity and dove down again. "Chirp!" Before the tiger could land, Ruby spat out another flame from its beak. "Roar!" The tiger's body was engulfed in flames.Its howls grew louder, filled with anger and unwillingness, as if to say, if they were dueling on the ground, it could easily snap Ruby's neck. It crashed into the mountainside, rolling to ext
Remus was certain that the tiger, with its cultivation, understood human nature and could comprehend human speech.It just couldn't speak for itself.Upon hearing Remus' remarks, the tiger pressed its body even lower, as if wishing to bury itself into the ground. It was utterly puzzled as to why such a formidable human would choose to hide his strength and display vulnerability.Was it all a ploy to lure it?Seeing its reaction, Remus had his answer. He slowly descended and directly asked, "What's happening in the mountains?"That was the real reason for his frown.The tiger's evident surprise upon encountering him suggested it hadn't intentionally targeted him.Given the absence of other humans nearby, only one conclusion remained. A calamity within the mountains had forced it to flee.Additionally, knowing that fierce beasts usually reside deep within, their encounter with the tiger at the outskirts hinted at severe disturbances inside, warranting caution.Hearing Remus' q
The man sitting by the river suddenly spoke up, instantly rising to his feet and releasing his spirit energy to chase after them.The remaining two men and the woman also didn't hesitate, quickly following suit.Their speed was slightly faster than Bucky's, closing the distance rapidly.Moreover, it was evident that the four were accustomed to coordinating their efforts.The woman moved through the tree canopies to get a full view of the path, while the two men flanked the sides to prevent Bucky from turning, and the fastest one pursued directly from behind, forming an encirclement.Bucky continued its desperate sprint.Feeling the pursuers draw closer, Remus turned to face them and called out, "Fellow cultivators, Bucky is my mount. I kindly ask you to spare it. As compensation, I can offer you four Energy Replenishing Pills!"Having just entered the Loongmoon Mountains, he wished to avoid conflict as it would delay his plans.Upon hearing him, the four finally noticed Remus o
Sometimes, displaying your strength was necessary to prevent unwanted risks.Upon hearing Remus' claim of being able to slay those at the Divine Separation Stage, the four individuals were stunned, looking at Remus as if he were a monster.What was he saying? Did he just say he could slay Divine Separation Stage cultivators?"Pfft…" The woman in the back suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she nearly bent over.She appeared to be in her 30s, dressed in simple clothes. Though not as beautiful as Gabriela and the others, she was above average in looks.Mockingly, she said, "You're so young, but you've got quite the mouth on you, huh? Claiming you can kill Divine Separation Stage cultivators? Do you even know what Divine Separation Stage means?"The two men on either side also laughed. They acknowledged Remus' punch as impressive but found his claim to slay Divine Separation Stage cultivators too far-fetched.In their years of cultivation, they had never heard of a
It was better to openly participate in the ongoing assessment than to sneak in through other methods. Besides, acting covertly could easily provoke a counterattack from the Monington Sacred Land. By then, it would be unknown whether he could find his fiancée, let alone come out alive.The group was momentarily taken aback at Remus' reply.They questioned reflexively, "Aren't you a cultivator from the Longmoon Mountains? Or are you a cultivator of the so-called True Life? Did you come to Longmoon Mountains because you failed the sacred land's sanctuary assessment?"Their barrage of questions left Remus even more confused. Why did they seem unfamiliar with True Life, despite being cultivators themselves?Moreover, they appeared to not recognize him.He did not put on a disguise as he had not expected to encounter people so soon. Maintaining his appearance as Remus Cosby, even if not as Remus Larson, would still make him recognizable to those from True Life who harbored animosity t
Although Alfie was not young, her sharp tongue was accompanied by a distinct sarcasm that colored her words. Remus couldn't be bothered to engage with her. He still needed to gain a better understanding of the assessment, and it wouldn't be wise to fall out with her at that moment.He looked toward Bartholomew and asked, "Why have I never heard of you all around Longmoon Mountains, even though I've been in True Life?"That was indeed surprising.Nowadays, who in True Life didn't know Remus Calsberg?Not to mention Remus Calsberg, who didn't know about Remus Cosby, the Eternal Pillar of Darsia, the Thunderous God of War?It seemed like they knew nothing.Before Bartholomew could respond, Gerard's cold laughter sliced through the air. "True Life? It's merely a playground for cowards. Cultivators engage in years of external cultivation, absorbing spirit energy in pursuit of a so-called realm. "Yet, the truly formidable cultivators have long since gravitated toward the sacred lan
The three men slowed to a stop upon seeing the situation.The leader among them appeared to be a middle-aged man.He scoffed, "Bartholomew, what a small world. I thought we'd meet at the assessment site, but here we are, running into each other just as we enter the mountains, haha…"Upon recognizing the trio, Bartholomew and his group simultaneously frowned, their expressions turning solemn. Bartholomew replied with a hint of anger, "I didn't expect you to be tailing us like a persistent curse. I'm not in a good mood today, so beat it!"Pierce also said angrily, "Hadden Windrow, we haven't settled the score from your last sneak attack. Are you here today to settle both new and old debts? Leave now, and you're off the hook! Or you won't have the chance to escape later."Gerard and Alfie both stepped forward, ready for battle. Remus, riding atop Bucky, watched coldly."Hahaha!" Hadden laughed arrogantly. "Why, aren't you scary? You're scaring me to death, haha! I admit, I can
As soon as Alfie finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on Remus.Pierce and Gerard frowned slightly but didn't say much, because the three of them were indeed led to them by Bucky. They would never have encountered them without Bucky.Bartholomew's brow furrowed even deeper. He wanted to speak, but the words stopped in his mouth.It was a good opportunity to see Remus Clayton's strength. Hadden and the others looked at Remus with disdain.Did Alfie just say that this guy could kill someone at the Divine Separation Stage?What a joke!Remus naturally didn't refuse. After a moment of thought, he faced Hadden with clasped hands and said, "Fellow cultivators, my offer remains the same. I'll give you three top-grade Energy Replenishing Pills. Let us leave, thank you!"If it was possible to avoid conflict, it was best to do so. Preserving strength in the vast mountains was most crucial."Pfft..." Seeing Remus' serious demeanor, the cultivators standing to Hadden's left and r
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
It was easy to tell from Paul's tone that he'd been holding it in for a long time. In fact, it wasn't just him. The other ghost kings also fell silent upon hearing this. The anger hidden within their hearts was stirred.It started with the Order of Nine Mysticisms' appearance.The Monarch of Mortals was humanity's leader, and all warriors and cultivators belonged to this group. Initially, everyone had faith in the Monarch. And, as the Pathic Energies naturally sought a vessel to inhabit, they naturally chose the first Monarch of Mortals.Later, the conflict between warriors and cultivators intensified, with the main issue being the plundering of the beast race.The warriors believed in coexistence between humans and beasts, while the cultivators viewed the beast race as inferior and thought they should be exploited.After several generations of Monarchs, the tension finally erupted, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Three Realms.At that time, even though the Monarch car
Grant realized that saying such things was somewhat self-deceptive, but he didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Roman. At times like this, he felt like Roman needed to step up.Roman could feel his gaze. Despite still harboring some emotions, had no choice but to speak. After all, he was the Underworld's ruler, and they were waiting for him to make a decision. It was something he couldn't avoid.Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Grant is right. Remus mentioned we wouldn't interfere with each other, which means he won't trouble us anymore, and things won't be exposed for the time being."Instead of worrying about Remus, we should focus on the most pressing issues—the Pathic Energies!"He raised his head and said, "Currently, only one-third of the Pathic Energies remain in the Underworld. Although it won't affect the barrier, it still has a significant impact on us..."Roman didn't want to mention Remus anymore primarily because
