As Joe's voice fell, a figure soared into the sky from outside the park, releasing an energy field as they walked through the air towards the park.This person had dark skin and bulging muscles, standing at two meters tall. His energy escaped as he moved through the air while making his way toward the park.Speaking in a clumsy Darsia language, he thundered, "I am Chris, inviting skilled martial artists from Darsia for a challenge!"Upon hearing the voice, everyone's gaze immediately turned towards him.All the people around the park and in front of screens remained silent.The rules of this Martial Artists Exchange Conference were simple: anyone could enter and spar freely."I'll go!"A middle-aged man in blue training clothes soared into the air and walked towards the park, clasping his fists as he said, "I am Ingron, the Head of the Iron Fist Sect in Darsia!""Let me see your moves!"Seeing someone stepping forward, the scene erupted with cheers and encouragement for Ingron
Ingron acted quickly.He swung his fists quickly with such speed that it left only afterimages of his arms.In the blink of an eye, dozens of punches struck Chris's face.Chris's face swelled up and was covered in blood, but he remained motionless."This is bad!"Gabriela's face turned pale at the sight. Others couldn't tell, but she could see that Chris's strength surpassed Ingron's by more than just a bit.At that moment, she uttered these two words.Whoosh!Chris finally made a move. He instantly raised his hands and grabbed Ingron's wrists with lightning speed.He roared, "You've had enough, it's my turn!"Seeing this, everyone felt a sense of foreboding. The cheers and shouts slowly faded, leaving them staring in shock and disbelief.Ingron's heart was pounding wildly. He wanted to pull his hands away, but he found that they were as if welded together. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move them at all.At this moment, Chris continued, "You call yourself a sect
Boom!Upon hearing those words, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. They stood there, unable to believe what had just happened.This exchange was supposed to showcase the glory of Darsia's martial artists, so they wondered why Tim crippled one opponent after another. It was completely different from what they had imagined!Immediately after, everyone's faces felt as if they had been slapped hard. They turned red with embarrassment and anger. But they had nothing to say, so they could only look resentfully towards the pavilion on the mountaintop where Gabriela and the others were.At this moment, Gabriela and the others also furrowed their brows."We... Seem to have been tricked!"Gabriela was the first to speak up, her forehead covered in sweat, and she whispered, "This Tim is at least at the half-step Divine Realm, or even possibly at the Divine Realm.""The reason Joe organized this Martial Arts Exchange Conference was not to enhance the glory of Darsia, but to... Embarrass Dars
It was the Divine Realm!In just the blink of an eye, the two met in mid-air.The next moment, a figure rapidly flew backward. It was none other than the young man. His body was like a kite with a broken string. He began to spray blood from his mouth in mid-air. When he fell to the ground, his entire body convulsed, showing signs of internal injuries."Is there no one who can fight? Who else dares to challenge me?" Tim shouted arrogantly once again.Boom!Seeing this scene, the defense lines in the hearts of all the citizens began to collapse. The current result was completely different from what they had expected. They wondered where the display of national glory was and where the image of Darsia being established had gone. They just couldn't believe it would turn out to be like this. Once again, they looked towards the four women on the mountaintop. Their eyes were filled with questioning. They were pleading and confused.From his hiding spot, Joe watched the scene unfold. Hi
Boom! Seeing Tim's actions and hearing his words, thunderstruck voices echoed in everyone's minds once again.They wonder what he meant by declaring the end of the competition and whether he was leaving. They question how they could just let him go like this. They ponder where the dignity of Darisa people would be placed in the future if he left like this.The pride that had just been brewing during the recent visits from many countries had been completely shattered!Everyone wondered what exactly the four of them and Remus planned to do and whether they organized this Global Martial Artists Exchange Conference just to disgrace their people. It wasn't just a thunderstruck feeling in their minds.In Gabriela's mind, it was buzzing even louder. She had never expected to be deceived again. Tim's words were equivalent to telling everyone that Remus was the one organizing the exchange conference and putting all the blame on him.There was no way to explain it. Even if it were said th
Joe's smile deepened as he said lightly, "It seems my judgment of Darsia was correct. Indeed, martial arts talents are scarce. It's just the beginning, and the Dragon Team's people are already called out. Heh heh."Gemma asked calmly, "Last time, Remus left a set of techniques for the Dragon Team, nurturing many experts. It's unknown what level they have reached, but there must be at least one in the Divine Realm.""Tim, can you handle it?"Since Goetz retired, she couldn't enter the Dragon Team like before. But she still managed to gather some information."The Divine Realm?"Joe sneered, "Let's just watch the show!"In the air, Tim turned his head slowly to glance at the members of the Dragon Team. Then he looked towards the pavilion. He spoke respectfully, "Since you want me to keep going with the challenge, I will. But let me ask this—if I defeat everyone, can I leave? After all, there are still thirty-five experts from other countries waiting their turn. There's no need for
They were baffled by how domineering and arrogant he was.Even when martial artists from seventeen countries came to challenge Darsia before, they didn't provoke anyone like this.His words were like sharp knives stabbing directly at the hearts of the Darsia people. They drew blood with every cut.Miranda's face was unusually cold. Stepping forward, she shouted, "Don't hesitate, attack together!"The situation was straightforward now. Tim wasn't simply showing the power of the Divine Realm. His true strength was unknown. Darsia's reputation would be irreparably damaged if he continued to win. Remus's reputation would suffer greatly, too! So, they realized they had to fight!The members of the Dragon Team exchanged glances, each making up their minds. They quickly separated to surround Tim firmly.Then, they all charged out simultaneously, no one lagging behind.Three sonic booms sounded, indicating that at least three were in the Divine Realm! The others were also at least at th
Tim suddenly said, "I spared your lives just now. If you're still looking for trouble, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"Boom!The members of the Dragon Team, as well as everyone else, were struck by his words like a heavy blow. He spoke with apparent virtue, but his words were a clear slap in the face as if he were condescending to everyone from high above the clouds.The Dragon Team members were furious.One of them angrily shouted, "Alright then, I'll fight you to the death!""Kill me if you can!"On Darsian soil, such arrogance from outsiders could not be tolerated. To uphold Darsia's dignity, even at the cost of their lives, they would not shy away from the challenge.As they spoke, they prepared to charge out again."Stop!"Miranda couldn't help but speak up, though it was tough. As the acting leader of the Dragon Team, she absolutely couldn't stand by and watch her members throw their lives away.She gritted her teeth and said, "Stand down, all of you!""Ms. Bo
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
