The scene was chaotic, with both saintly and Monington disciples voicing their despair in loud cries that pierced the air. "I'm worthless!" Their cries reverberated, drowning the surroundings in a sea of hopelessness.Remus had always been like a heavy burden weighing on their hearts. His presence, like the Spiritual Trial Stone, made them all feel inadequate in comparison. Today, they had come seeking to bring him down, to level the playing field once and for all. Yet, despite their efforts, they found themselves unable to lay a hand on him.Not only did they fail to harm him, but the grandmasters, masters, chiefs, and temple lords continued to regard him highly. How could they not feel hopeless in the face of such disparity?Soon, disciples began to drop from the sky like falling rain. Some found themselves on the ground while others clung to tree branches. Their voices merged into a chorus of despair as they cried out about their own inadequacies. The sound of wailing fil
"Besides being branded as a traitor, he'll be thrown into the Nine Prison!"His words sent a shiver down Elena and Sir Hudson's spines. Master Eythor and Master Erjon also contemplated speaking up to ease the tension. After all, they had just received guidance from Remus. How could they just stand by and watch him face execution? However, their words held no power in the face of the grandmasters. Besides, the gravity of the accusation was too immense for them to intervene.Finally, Remus broke the heavy silence. "So, are you planning to go back on your word and execute me?" he questioned in disbelief.How could they, the most powerful grandmasters in the sacred land, change their minds so easily?Grandmaster Aurelius responded indifferently, "They're the ones who promised not to execute you, not me!"With that, his spiritual energy spread out. It ensnared Remus to prevent him from taking any harmful action.He then addressed the other masters, chiefs, and temple lords. "I und
Remus's innermost desire was laid bare: to seek vengeance against all who had betrayed him. But could there truly be a next life?Before the thought could fully settle, a deafening roar echoed through the skies. Dark clouds amassed overhead, crackling with lightning. No one paid much attention to this phenomenon. Instead, they were focused on Remus, whose desperate words struck them with horror. "Very well," Grandmaster Aurelius coldly declared. "Since that's the case, we shall keep you from leaving, and there shall be no next life for you."His gaze then shifted to the disciples. "Strike him down!""I'll go first!" A disciple stepped forward, wielding a blade of spiritual energy.It was none other than Ted Turner, the one who had confronted Remus upon his arrival at the sacred land.With a swift motion, Ted lunged at Remus.But as the blade drew closer, Remus's gaze pierced through him. Ted faltered momentarily before regaining his composure. Through gritted teeth, he
There was no waiting allowed.Furthermore, even if he reached the Nascent Soul Stage stage, he was just a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, which was not worth mentioning.People were more eager to see how many Thunder Tribulations this genius could withstand.There were Three Tribulations for ordinary cultivators and six Tribulations for genius cultivators!Nine Tribulations were for geniuses that only appear once in a hundred years, destined to reach the Great Realm of Enlightenment in the future!Everyone was curious.Then, another thunderbolt struck down.Remus felt nothing. He lifted his head and asked through gritted teeth, "If I reach the Nascent Soul Stage stage, can I fight them?"The arrival of this tribulation was both timely and untimely.He wondered what reaching the Nascent Soul Stage could actually do and whether it could only prolong one's life for a while.As soon as he finished speaking, another heavenly thunderbolt struck down. It was thicker and more vigorou
Everyone was shocked upon seeing the thunderbolt, feeling as if they had been struck themselves. Their whole bodies were covered in exploding sweat pores.Even witnessing this scene directly made everyone dumbfounded."This... this... this... How was this possible?"Grandmaster Aurelius's speech became somewhat inarticulate, "Throughout history, nine heavenly thunderbolts during the tribulation had been the limit. How could there have been a tenth?""This is absolutely impossible!"Whether from the beginning of chaos or the present moment, "nine" had always been the maximum number. Although there was talk of "ten," it was just that—talk. Everyone believed that perfection led to decline.So, nine was already the maximum, and nothing else was possible!Even if one didn't consider it from this angle, anyone had never heard of facing ten heavenly thunderbolts during their tribulation.They wondered why this Remus was so unusual."What... What kind of person was he?" Master Erjon bu
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were illuminated, but even brighter was Remus standing at the convergence of all heavenly thunderbolts!Everyone stared blankly, completely dumbfounded. They forgot who they were, when it was, and where they were. They all felt like they were in a dream, unable to extricate themselves!The heavenly thunderbolts continued relentlessly.Countless pythons extended from countless clouds, continuously devouring. The bodies of these pythons tore the sky apart, fragmenting this piece of heaven and earth into numerous fragments. However, they were still unable to split apart this tiny figure.The heavenly thunderbolts continued.Remus's body rose higher and higher.The thunder grew louder.The lightning became denser.It seemed like there were towering ancient trees above the clouds, with countless roots below the clouds. They resembled tentacles, all simultaneously trying to grab hold of this tiny figure.However, as soon as they touched, they
Another quarter of an hour passed.The dark clouds above dissipated, the lightning disappeared, and all that remained was the bright sun shining high and the azure sky stretching for miles."It's over!" Grandmaster Aurelius finally confirmed.After saying these three words, silence descended upon Grandmaster Olympus again. Every person's face revealed a fatigue as if their souls had been drained.They were indeed exhausted. The scene just then was too surreal, draining all their mental energy. Whether they could forget this in this lifetime, perhaps even in the next lifetime or the one after, it would be etched into their souls."But... what a pity!" Master Erjon slowly spoke.After saying this, he became despondent. And it wasn't just him; all the vice patriarchs and vegetables were despondent.In the ears of the disciples, the so-called "pity" might have been that the thunderbolts annihilated Remus. But the venerable knew the pity lay in the fact that the sacred lands could no
The crowd remained silent."Hehe..."Seeing this, Wilda sneered and turned to leave.Upon hearing this sneer, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, sensing its thick contempt and disdain.Indeed.As distinguished vice Saint Masters and other Masters of the sacred land, they should have handled the situation with more grace, even if they wanted to deal with a mere disciple. Their actions seemed a bit petty."Wait!"Grandmaster Aurelius couldn't help but speak up, explaining, "Remus did not die at our hands. At the moment we caught him, he attracted the tribulation. He could not withstand the tribulation that led to his demise!"Wilda stopped in her tracks and questioned, "Nine tribulations?"Master Eythor replied, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine tribulations!"......Within the forest, a figure walked slowly while stumbling with each step. Judging by his condition, he looked disheveled.That was none other than Remus!To him, the tribulation was as simple as breathing; even
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
