Remus broke through the ice again."You!"Evan's voice caught in his throat, rising in pitch, "Condense!"The frost flew at Remus once more.Crack!Remus broke free again."Condense!"Crack!"Condense!"Crack!They repeated this cycle of condensing and breaking, following a precise rhythm. After more than a dozen times, the white frosty crystals on the island completely disappeared, and it returned to a clean state.The disciples from all sacred lands gasped one after another. They had never doubted the strength of their sacred land's core disciples. If a disciple fully trained by a sacred land couldn't even defeat a stray practitioner, what would make a sacred land superior?But now, it seemed that Evan had no way to deal with Remus Calsberg."Ahhhh..."Evan screamed in frustration. He hadn't expected this outcome. If he had known, he wouldn't have volunteered to fight. How could he, a core disciple, fail to defeat a stray practitioner, who was at the peak of the Divine
Soon, Garfield announced to continue the Grand Competition.The rules were simple. Starting with Ryunington, followed by Monington, Kenington, and Shenington, each land would send one person to the island. They could choose to challenge any participating disciple from the other three lands. The winner would advance, and the loser would be eliminated.Notably, the competition between Evan and Remus did not count as a loss for Evan, so he still had the chance to challenge. Otherwise, there would be one person short among the twelve disciples from the four sacred lands."I am Dain Durex, a disciple from the Ryunington!"A disciple from Ryunington stepped onto the island and loudly declared, "I challenge the Young Saint Master of Shenington, Richardo!"Hearing this, Remus was taken aback. Did he say he wanted to challenge Richardo?He had no idea that Richardo could also participate in the competition.He had thought Richardo was just leading the team here!As Remus glanced aroun
He was the young master of the Freestyle organization, set to marry Jean! He caught the attention of Halbert during the assessment.Back then, he was only nearly at the peak of the end phase of the Nascent Soul stage, but now he was... in the end phase of the Divine Unity Stage.Remus thought calmly, "One changes over time. Since he's here, then Windsor should be here too"Back during the assessment, Windsor was at the Divine Separation Stage.He suddenly felt a bit excited.In the arena, the two began fighting without any further talking.In terms of realm, they were evenly matched while in terms of techniques, Xavier was at a disadvantage.However, Evan had just fought Remus and was no longer in his peak condition, both physically and mentally. In less than a minute, he began to fall behind.In the end, he exhausted all his spiritual energy and voluntarily surrendered by raising his hand."Xavier won!" Garfield continued to announce, then raised his hand.Similarly, a golde
This flame was unlike ordinary ones. It was burning in a dark green hue. Instead of burning outward, it burned inward toward Glinda's body.It seemed like the flame was consuming her without mercy and about to turn her into ashes.At this moment, the whole arena fell silent.Everyone paid intense focus, because the name Remus Clayton carried immense weight, having drawn 999 Tribulation Thunder, which was an unprecedented event!Everyone wanted to see what kind of strength Remus Clayton possessed.Glinda remained unfazed as if the flame was not affecting her at all.The flame that tightly surrounded Glinda dissipated as she waved her hand. This effortless move amazed everyone present with its effect."What?"The Kenington disciple didn't expect that Remus Clayton was this strong. He trembled and roared, "Corrosive Cold Flame!"Swish!The scattered flames changed color from dark green to a ghastly white. Anyone could see that it was a flame, but somehow it exuded a chilling col
"Sera!""Sera!""Sera!"Her name was being cheered for three times.Glinda was stunned, never expecting to see Seraphine here, and so was Wallace. Was this the same gentle and frail girl from the Gracefield family?Another person was in even greater surprise.Remus was the most shocked of all.He couldn't believe his eyes. In his memory, Seraphine was a delicate girl, quiet and as graceful as a flower, her movements were always as gentle as a morning breeze. How did she become like this?Moreover, wasn't she in Shenington? How did she become the Saintess of Kenington?And why was she called... Sera?Garfield seemed very pleased with everyone's expressions and loudly announced, "Begin!"As soon as the word fell, "Frenzy Grow!" The Shenington disciple immediately used his technique. Vegetation on the island grew rapidly, stretching upward and mercilessly grabbing at Seraphine like thousands of tentacles.Seraphine remained calm, showing neither joy nor fear, simply gazing at
"It really was her!"Remus muttered slowly.In fact, he had already recognized her voice but was hesitant to confirm it. After all, she was once the Deputy Commander of the Military Department in Darsia. As a martial artist, she should be incompatible with cultivators.How could she have become a cultivator?Now it seemed she had not only become a disciple of Shenington but also possessed great cultivation!Swish!At this moment, the last disciple of Ryunington descended from the rock. He was a young unremarkable male disciple who was dressed in the standard uniform of Ryunington."Not Husan!" Remus frowned even more deeply, but soon he relaxed. It made sense that it wasn't Husan. Compared to the others, Husan had only joined Ryunington for a short ten days.She was at the Divine Separation Stage, which was enough to dominate in their world and other worlds. However, compared to the cultivators in Darsi, her level was not impressive. It was reasonable for her not to participat
Halbert immediately retorted, "You're twisting words..."Before he could finish, Grandmaster Merlion interjected, "If I'm not mistaken, Wallace from Ryunington and Sera, the Saintess of Kenington, also reached great enlightenment after losing all hope and were recruited by your sacred lands."When you recruited them, did you investigate whether they had ever been martial artists?"Halbert was left speechless. Indeed, Wallace had reached great enlightenment after utter despair. As for martial arts... Wallace did know martial arts, but only to the level of a grandmaster.Grandmaster Merlion continued, "The participants are required to give their best in the Grand Competition. Hence, there is nothing wrong with using the most primitive skills. "If each sacred land wishes to argue more on this issue, I believe all of us have used unsavory means for this competition, am I right?"Do I need to keep elaborating?"His words brought silence to the entire arena.Remus continued watching
When Remus asked his question, the atmosphere in the arena shifted dramatically.All the disciples' faces turned awkward because they all knew what the golden light represented, except for Remus.Grandmaster Qwell and the others turned even redder, feeling the sting of their underhanded actions being exposed."Why is there no one to answer?" Remus looked around and smiled. "Fine, I won't pursue it any further. Since you still look down on me and never intended to bring me into your sacred land, I won't stay here and be an eyesore."From now on, I'll continue as a carefree stray practitioner. Goodbye!"He released his spiritual energy and instantly rose to the air.As expected, this tactic still worked."Wait!""Wait!"Grandmaster Qwell, Grandmaster Carlex Nova, and the other two spoke at the same time.Remus was just another prodigy, which they never lacked. They depended on themselves to achieve immortality.Earlier, this Remus Calsberg had mentioned he would reveal the sec
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
