At that moment, thousands of vines sprouted beneath his feet, rapidly growing and crawling across the ground, covering the entire area of the haze in the blink of an eye. Then, all the vines extended downward, and the sound of the ground being split could be heard clearly."Hmph!" The killer snorted coldly. "A mere parlor trick. If your ancestors were here, they might stand a chance against me, but you're too !"As soon as he finished speaking, the originally verdant vines on the ground began to wither, turning yellow and black!Seeing this, Kylian lightly stomped his foot, and the withered vines on the ground rejuvenated, bursting forth with vitality.After just three seconds, the vines withered once again.This repeated nearly ten times.Kylian was the first to stop, looking at Remus again. "Make your choice!"The beast sneered, "Of course, don't join. Little one, I won't let you join."Kylian immediately said, "I can assure you that no one in the Shenington will harm you!"
Remus keenly felt a force of destruction enclosing him tightly, rendering him as insignificant as dust before this power.Just as he was about to be completely enveloped by this force, the surroundings suddenly turned into a sea of red. It was the haze. The originally pink haze had condensed into red, turned into blood-red, and finally black!The voice of the Beast became sinister, "I told you, I've protected this person!"Boom!As soon as the words fell...The vines entwined around Remus suddenly exploded, turning into shattered spiritual energy. With Remus at the center, the damaged spiritual energy spread out in all directions. It pierced through the haze, sweeping the space for dozens of miles and rushing beyond the haze."Be careful!""Run!""Quickly, go!"The disciples waiting outside, including Grandmaster Merlion, saw the rolling spiritual energy rushing towards them, their faces pale. Even though it shattered spiritual energy, it still filled them with terror from t
The dark haze began to retreat.The world seemed to turn golden.Feeling the golden light, the trees and grass in the mountains began to grow vigorously!"Interesting, it seems that your ancestors in Shenington left you some real techniques."The Beast sneered, then changed the subject, "But in front of me, they're rubbish!"In an instant...The pink haze for dozens of miles suddenly changed color, turning into ink-dark. It was sinister and absorbed light like an endless abyss, ready to devour everything.Even just a glance instilled deep fear.The situation in the field took a sharp turn.The golden thorns pierced into the dark haze but only pierced into it and couldn't advance any further. The golden light on the thorns was devoured, leaving them dull.At this moment, Kylian finally frowned!This Beast was even more formidable than he had imagined!Spiritual energy leaked out, and his body once again rose a hundred feet high.He lowered his head and said, "Since you, a b
Within the haze!"You... are powerful!"Remus spoke solemnly. He never praised others, but this was the first time.In any case, the strength of this Beast exceeded imagination, reaching an unpredictable level. Although he couldn't see, he could clearly feel the surging collision of spiritual energy between the two."Heh, a frog at the bottom of a well!"The Beast replied arrogantly, "If it weren't for being sealed here, I could destroy this world with just a wave. He's an ant that can be eradicated with a glance."Remus believed this statement!Before he could continue speaking, the Beast suddenly sighed. Its voice no longer had the previous vigor, becoming extremely weary. It sighed, "But I'm sealed here, little one. I need to sleep for a while. I won't be able to help you anymore. You'll have to rely on yourself..."Remus asked in surprise, "Sleep for a while?"Disciples could already go without sleep, relying on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sustain
"There are no beasts. I can't go out. I can only absorb spiritual energy. But, this place is filled with haze. There is no spiritual energy at all!!"Remus felt half-hearted. Currently, there were dead ends in all directions. The only way to get out was probably what the Beast had said, to wait for it to wake up and send him out again.But who could know when it would wake up?"There are still six days until the Grand Competition!"Remus suddenly remembered this point.Before, Gareth had said there were eight days left, and he had slept for two days, leaving six days remaining."After six days, will they..."Remus shook his head. Although the Grand Competition was important, they wouldn't mobilize all their forces. They would still leave people to guard the haze, so there would be no chance."There are still eight days until the appointment with Husan. Kylie, Jean, Miranda, and Gabriela are still waiting for me. And on New Year's Day, I have to go to the Dragon Protector Clan.
Upon hearing this voice, both were stunned. They never expected the return to be so timely.Husan hesitated momentarily before speaking, "Why don't you ask now? It's troublesome."Regardless of whether she could bear it or not, the destruction of her meridians had already become a reality. So she needed to know as soon as possible if Seraphine was here. She would tell her that Remus was looking for her and take her out of the mountain together if she were. If she wasn't here, leaving quickly and meeting with Remus would be better.A hint of displeasure flashed in Wallace's eyes. He had thought it would take a few days, during which he could strengthen their relationship. But now that things had come to this point, he couldn't refuse otherwise, his image would be ruined. He nodded, "Alright, I'll go ask now.""But I have a request. Before I come back, you must finish all this food. You must take care of yourself, or... I'll worry!"After saying this, he looked at her affectionately
Husan once again refused, "I can do it myself."But this time, Wallace was very assertive, "No, I've already given you a chance. This time, I must feed you. Just finish eating all this, and I'll tell you the news. Otherwise, I won't say a word!""Open your mouth!"After thinking for a moment, Husan realized she couldn't resist and could only open her mouth.Soon, the food was finished.Wallace sighed, "Right now, Qwell and Master Burke's mood is very bad. I haven't had a chance to ask yet, but don't worry, I'll find an opportunity soon. There will definitely be results within two days!"Husan was left speechless.Meanwhile, in another place within the Eternal Sentinel Mountain…"Saint Master!""Saint Master!"The disciples guarding outside the haze called out as they saw Richardo approaching, bending respectfully.Richardo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the black haze covering nearly two hundred miles before him, his face expressionless as he asked, "Is the
Upon hearing this, Richardo gave the Grandmaster a heavy look. He frowned and asked, "What plan?"The Grandmaster cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Saint Master, that small fry within the haze, although safe, lacks progress. In other words, he will continue to maintain his current cultivation level.""For disciples, cultivation is like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you regress. His mood must be extremely restless. We just need to continue to provoke and incite him, and we can force him to leave the haze."When he finished speaking, the elders and disciples beside him looked over, full of doubts. What he said made sense, but how would they do it?Richardo, feeling irritated, said, "Just get to the point!""Yes!"The Grandmaster quickly responded, "We need to insult, attack, and mentally torment him, shattering his Heart of Alchemy!""There's a saying that if you magnify a person's weaknesses infinitely, no one in this world would want to live, and it's the same for
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
