Everyone then saw how Remus was recovering.He was actually swallowing inner beast cores in whole!Was he a monster?It was known that even the beasts in the mountains couldn't consume them like that, and that they would place the inner core somewhere and slowly lick it.On the other hand, cultivators could only assimilate fragments at a time or refine them through intricate processes. And yet, Remus simply ingested them?"Could he be... Remus Clayton?" Bartholomew and Alfie voiced their disbelief.While others might be oblivious, they knew all too well that the cores Remus was devouring belonged to their own kind."Argh..." Emerson finally let out a strange sound, his energy surging even more than before. Standing in the air, he leaped high, grabbed his long staff, and smashed it down from the air."No!" Wilda couldn't help but shout, but her voice was very small.Sandra and the rest watched in terror. Even as cultivators in the late Divine Separation Stage, they understo
Emerson kept striking Remus with his staff.The speed was extremely fast, nearly 100 strikes in the blink of an eye, and even the spirit energy-solidified staff had bent.Remus continued undeterred, consuming core after core as if he were a bystander watching someone else being bombarded.Despite his body sinking further into the earth and riddled with cracks as if on the verge of shattering, he miraculously endured each successive attack by replenishing his spirit energy."How many inner beast cores does he have!" an astonished voice echoed among the crowd, witnessing Remus' relentless consumption, tallying up to an astounding 30 cores."48!" Bartholomew counted, then swiftly amended, "No, he has 49 in total!""Even if you had 49,000 inner beast cores, today I will scatter you into dust!" Emerson roared, his voice betraying a hint of madness.His mental state was continuously being affected as he bombarded Remus with his staff. Soon, the speed of his attacks slowed, and the sta
Remus' simple declaration sent a wave of buzz rippling through the crowd.Did he mean he was going to strike back?Without waiting for the crowd to ponder further, Remus' spirit energy leaked out, and he instantly rose from the deep pit, standing mid-air with drops of blood dripping from his feet. It was his own blood, seeping from cracks all over his body.Everyone looked up, gazing at him as if witnessing a demon descending upon the world.Remus raised his hand, and a long sword appeared. Looking down at Emerson, he slashed the sword down without uttering a single word.Emerson quickly exerted the last bit of his spirit energy to form a shield.After all, he was at the mid-stage of the Divine Separation Stage, and his spirit energy was denser than that of True Life cultivators, so the slash didn't break through his spirit energy.It was also because Remus didn't intend to take his life just yet. Emerson was shocked to spit out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, his expres
Since she was going to face punishment either way, Elena thought she might as well take a gamble."Die!" Elena's spirit energy erupted without warning.Suddenly, millions of ice spikes appeared around Remus, all aimed directly at him.All the ice spikes shot toward Remus.Those were no ordinary ice spikes, each one of them had enough power to annihilate any cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage.She struck with no mercy.Her action even caught Wilda off guard, never expecting an esteemed Master of the sacred land to attack a Golden Stage cultivator."You're seeking death!" She moved to confront Elena."Stop it!" A voice suddenly came from the sky, invisible to the eye, it felt as if it came from the horizon, carrying an ancient and solemn tone.With that, the millions of ice spikes rushing toward Remus turned into water, falling to the ground.Morris and the others immediately knelt at the source of the voice."Greetings, Saint Master!"Wilda frowned, also bending slightl
The words of the Sacred Master caused a buzz in everyone's mind.Unspeakable!Not to mention ,did the Saint Master just let out a helpless sigh?What did it all mean?Morris and the others quickly looked at Remus, their faces filled with endless shock.Others might not understand, but as disciples of the Monington Sacred Land, they had a complete understanding of the stature of their Saint Master.In the entirety of the world, there was scarcely anything capable of rendering her at a loss.However, the Saint Master had sighed just because of Remus.Elena's expression ashen and her body trembled uncontrollably. She might not have grasped the full meaning of the Saint Master's words, but she was acutely aware that the Saint Master had recognized her deliberate antagonism toward Remus.The silence on the matter only intensified her anxiety.What consequences were to follow?Emerson expelled another mouthful of blood while his body crumpled to the ground. His breaths were shallo
Elena's body shivered at Remus' words.She turned her head to see Remus approaching, and felt as if she was facing a great enemy, her breath becoming rapid. She had lost her demeanor as the sacred land's master, now looking more like a drenched chicken battered by a storm.Cautiously, she asked, "What do you want?"She was afraid that Remus would take action.If he did, she wouldn't dare to fight back.He was already designated by the Saint Master as someone who made an immortal appear.If she targeted him again, she feared death would not be enough to atone for her actions.Wilda also stopped in her tracks, extremely curious about what was happening between them.She also stared at him with full vigilance.Elena had almost killed Remus just now, and if she dared to make a move again, Wilda would mercilessly annihilate Elena."You're scared!" Remus said with a smile.Elena's breathing turned erratic under his gaze, fear unmistakable in her eyes.How could she not fear him
As Remus entered the sacred land, an earth-shattering event was unfolding on the land of Darsia.All of Darsia's companies listed abroad were simultaneously attacked by an unknown massive fund, causing their stock prices to plummet, even nearing the brink of bankruptcy.In Neptuna, a stream of luxury cars from Darsia made their grand entrance, while private jets touched down one after another at the airport.Above, a fleet of helicopters soared directly toward Neptuna, dotting the skyline.The whole city was congested.It was a situation Darsia had not experienced in decades.The arrivals, stepping out from their parade of luxury vehicles, private jets, and helicopters, were none other than the titans of the business world, each capable of sending ripples through Darsia's economy with a mere flick of their wrists.Their fortunes, each tallying in the billions, had a singular destination in mind—the Imperial Villa!…Meanwhile, the Imperial Villa was overcrowded and packed to t
The doctor said, "If there's someone in the whole of Darsia who can cure Mr. Andrew, then there's only one person!"Kylie blurted out, "Who?"Whoever it was, they needed to be brought over.The doctor said succinctly, "It's Mr. Cosby!"Kylie and Jean were momentarily speechless.The plea from the crowd was a chorus of desperation, their eyes fixed on Kylie and Jean with the hope of salvation. "Ladies, where is Mr. Cosby?""Please, we need Mr. Cosby's help. We've built our fortunes over generations, we cannot watch them vanish, nor can we bear the thought of sharing Mr. Andrew's fate."As the crowd's anxiety escalated, so did the emotional outpouring, with some unable to hold back their tears.Kylie and Jean, feeling the weight of responsibility, knew that Remus was the key to navigating through the crisis with his unparalleled influence.Yet, despite their efforts, he remained unreachable, his whereabouts unknown.After exchanging a look of mutual understanding, Jean spoke,
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
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
