All the disciples turned to look at the sound. When they saw the person walking out of the haze, it was the Remus. They were momentarily stunned, not expecting him to dare to come out!Soon, their eyes lit up, and their hearts raced with excitement. He had emerged, and the chance to impress Ricardo was finally here!They eagerly released their spiritual energy, preparing to capture him.Just as they were about to move, Remus's spiritual energy suddenly leaked out, and the long blade reappeared in his hand. Without reservation, he poured his spiritual energy into the blade and swung it fiercely.In just an instant… The sound of the air being torn apart echoed in the field. But it was only a momentary, fleeting sound.When they looked again, all the disciples were frozen in place, their leaked spiritual energy dissipating. But their faces still showed excitement.Remus turned his attention away from the others and focused on Gareth, saying in a firm voice, "You know as well as I do
Then, without exception, all those Nascent Soul Stage disciples were cleaved in half at the waist, their lower bodies still standing on the ground while their upper bodies fell to the ground. Realizing this, they finally let out screams."Ah! Help me, save me!""Please, someone help me, hurry!""Mr. Bohner, I have inner pills. I'll give them to you. Please save me!"The screams intertwined, rising and falling continuously. In an instant, the scene felt like it was hell.The later-arriving disciple were all terrified, their scalps tingling, feeling like their souls had left their bodies. They had felt something odd before but hadn't expected it to be like this. Who could have done this? It was too ruthless!Swish! They all simultaneously looked at Gareth. He was the only one here. Their expressions were completely different from before. Previously, it was hypocrisy, mockery, and disdain. But now, it was fear, shock, and a hint of dread."Eh..."Gareth was also shocked, making a
It wasn't until Remus's figure disappeared once again into the haze that Gareth finally struggled to regain his senses. First, he looked at the haze. Then he glanced at the dozens of corpses in the distance. His heart was still filled with shock. At this point, it wasn't just Remus's abilities that shocked him. It was his mentality. To be able to take action against so many disciples and to remain unaffected after doing so, even coming out to search their bodies... "What kind of person is he?"Gareth suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of fear and horror. He was grateful that he had stopped in time initially and promised to let him enter the sacred land. Otherwise, he might have ended up as one of those corpses!Struggling to look away, preparing to cross the haze to the other side and wait for Remus, Gareth suddenly froze. He clearly felt a coldness rising from the soles of his feet to his heart. He exclaimed in disbelief, "He said five hours, but according to his
One of the disciples sighed, "I never thought Gareth would have such a side. It's truly terrifying."Another disciple added, "And that brat is terrifying, too. He actually beheaded Toby with a single blow. Toby was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. What's even stranger is that his energy was obviously unstable after that blow, yet he could survive in the haze for so long?"The first disciple pondered for a moment. "If I'm not mistaken, Gareth gave him the Clarity Gem..."The second disciple affirmed, "That's right, it must be. But that brat seems to have decided not to come out of the haze for the rest of his life. If I see him, I will definitely take his head to exchange it for a bright future!"Before the two could finish speaking, Remus suddenly appeared and said with a smile, "How coincidental. I also want to use you to regain my cultivation!"The two suddenly looked over with surprise and saw Remus. A white light flashed.The heads of the two disciples fell to the gro
The disciples realized it was indeed the work of Remus!If that was the case, it meant he hadn't left, hadn't hidden, and was likely still around them. This would explain how he could have accurately killed so many fellow disciples.Almost simultaneously, they all turned their heads around, their eyes constantly searching.But before them were rolling pink haze and the endless mountains behind them.Between the haze and the mountains, there was only a narrow line compressed. Apart from the corpses, they couldn't see anyone!"Let's not scare ourselves. That brat is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. How could he have slaughtered so many fellow disciples, and with a single blow?" a disciple gathered the courage to speak.But as soon as the words fell, another trembling disciple replied, "But what about Toby? He also beheaded Toby. Is it possible he deliberately showed weakness to lure us here to catch him?"After this was said, the scene fell silent once again.T
"If you're willing to risk your lives for a shot at a brighter future, then you're welcome to fight to the death!""Two!"Upon hearing this, the disciples instinctively backed away with troubled expressions. They were impressed by Remus's mind games!"Don't listen to him," one fellow disciple urged. "If we band together and take him down, then present our achievements to the Saint Master, we can all earn favor together!""That's right," another chimed in. "If we want to win the Saint Master's favor, we must stand united!"Remus's voice rang out again, "You're not fools. You know it's always better for one person to have the whole meal regarding food! Sticking together doesn't guarantee you'll all get to eat, but if you hand over the inner pills, you'll definitely survive. And survival is your only chance to keep playing the game.""One!"He emphasized the word heavily, deafeningly, causing the haze to roll and the trees to sway."I'll give you the inner pill!"Suddenly, a disc
"Roar...""Howl...""Hiss..."In an instant, various roars of beasts echoed within the ten thousand mountains, one after another, shaking the heavens and the earth."Lowly humans!""Insignificant ants!""Arrogant fools!"There were also beast roars and angry curses from beasts with disciples above the Nascent Soul stage.Remus calmly waited in the haze, his face not showing much excitement. Instead, he shook his head with a wry smile. He continued to provoke the beasts, which was an unavoidable necessity.Because just now, he suddenly thought of a problem.He wondered if entering the sacred land and being discovered by the Saint Master for killing Toby would be akin to walking into a trap.The risk was too great. He couldn't continue to take risks now, at least not suitable! He needed to leave first.However, he had to maximize his benefits since he was already here. Most of the disciples who heard the news had been killed, and the remaining ones obviously didn't dare to en
After speaking, the two turned and left.Gareth finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.But as soon as they turned around, they encountered a black bear as tall as a person, striding towards them on the ground. Despite its bear-like body, it walked like a human with hands clasped behind its back and an arrogant gaze indistinguishable from a human's.It was a Divine Separation Stage Beast!"Zaiden!""Mr. Bohner!"The black bear suddenly noticed the two of them, stopped in its tracks, and unexpectedly clasped its paws together in greeting.Zaiden frowned and instinctively asked, "Why are you here in the haze when you should focus on cultivation?"With the haze separating them, the disciple and beasts outside had lower cultivations, while those inside had relatively higher cultivations. Usually, they would rarely cross the haze!Seeing his expression, the black bear was surprised and said, "Don't you know, Zaiden? I came to the haze for Toby...""Shut up!"Gareth interr
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
