Valerie snorted, raising her hand in the middle of the air and directing it toward Remus, she then unleashed a massive spiritual energy.The roots entwined around Remus began to tighten further, constricting him to the extent that he could barely breathe, seemingly ready to snap him in half.Remus's face turned red from the pressure, his spiritual energy frantically pushing against the tightening roots, but he could only manage to slightly hold them at bay. After trying, he couldn't break free."One last chance, do you surrender?" Valerie asked arrogantly.Remus was in extreme pain and struggling to breathe but still managed to force out a few words through his gritted teeth, "I won't surrender!""He’s asking for it! Senior Valerie, don't hold back!""He won’t give in until he’s at the brink of death. Senior Valerie, keep going!""This despicable rogue! How much longer can he endure?"The disciples from Shenington were furious, shouting for Valerie to finish Remus. Meanwhile,
Valerie quickly regained her senses.She shouted angrily, "Why are you still resisting in vain? You’re not worth my sympathy. Tree of Earth... Bloom!"At that moment, all the disciples of Shenington looked up at the tree canopy.While outsiders might not know, they knew that the "bloom" signified the tree blooming. Once the flowers bloomed, the tree would absorb more nutrients from the ground, increasing the pressure on Remus.The flowers on the tree were vividly colorful. Red like fire, yellow like sun, white as snow, and pink like tender skin.However, the flowers did not bloom like how they expected.Instead, followed by a cracking sound, the trunk of this tree actually cracked in the middle, and the cracks got bigger and bigger.Looking closer, Remus had broken free from the constraints of the tree roots and was heading straight into the sky along the crack like a sharp sword."This is impossible!""This is impossible!""This is impossible!"Three voices exclaimed simult
"Do you surrender?"These were the same words Valerie had just thrown at Remus. Now, with the situation reversed, Remus asked her the same thing.Lying in the pit, Valerie looked at Remus with extreme reluctance in her eyes.She couldn't understand. She was a prodigy who had achieved enlightenment and directly entered the Divine Separation Stage. She even put in a lot of effort for this competition. How could she lose to someone at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage?She couldn't understand why Remus possessed martial arts and why was he at the Martial Imperial stage."Do you surrender?" Remus looked down and stared at her coldly, suppressing the urge to kill her outright.Even though Gabriela had never confirmed the investigation result, Remus could guess it. Valerie was the person who had colluded with Sakurasom to set up Gabriela!Gabriela had been tortured severely and almost lost her life.He wanted to crush her to pieces!"I..." Valerie tried to speak, but suddenly,
"But there is one thing. Since Grandmaster Merlion violated the rules and threatened me, shouldn't he also apologize to me according to the rules?"How dare he!"You shameless brat!""What did you say?""You've gone too far against Shenington!"The Grandmaster and Masters of Shenington couldn't help but curse.It wasn't just them, the other three sacred lands were also shocked. Remus was truly pushing his luck. Grandmaster Merlion had already apologized once, and now he wanted another apology.Did Grandmaster Merlion have no dignity?"Apologize!" Richardo's voice trembled as he spoke, feeling incredibly frustrated. But now that Remus Clayton had expressed his interest in joining Shenington, could they afford to let him slip away?They had no choice but to comply with his demands!"I'm sorry for being impulsive," Grandmaster Merlion said while he turned pale. After apologizing, he quickly ascended. As he passed through the clouds, he coughed up a mouthful of blood from the she
The entire audience was stunned upon hearing those words.Did Xavier surrender?This was the sacred Land Grand Competition, a chance every cultivator dreamed of. Getting hurt or even dying on the island would be better than giving up!Sitting in his seat, Xavier felt his face burning with shame. He avoided looking at others, staring intently at Remus. It was all his fault that he was so humiliated!If Remus hadn't pushed Richardo to this point, he wouldn't be in this situation.Losing in a match was no big deal.But now, only a fool would step onto the island because Richardo was ready to kill them!Remus felt Xavier's gaze but only smiled faintly. In fact, he wasn't surprised by Xavier's decision. Back then, after Remus had killed his father, Xavier had been able to endure silently and participate in the sanctuary assessment.Such a coward!Garfield's face was also blushed with embarrassment. After all, Xavier was from Ryunington, a disciple he had personally trained. A word
Water and fire collided in the air, each refusing to give an inch to the other!Thunk!Remus's heart sank a bit. He had always stood in front of them, but this was the first time he saw his own woman fighting others right in front of him.At this moment, he seemed to understand why Kylie and the others cried so much!Because they were too worried about him!In the arena!Seraphine remained expressionless. She gracefully took a step forward on the water's surface.It was just this one step.The flames in front of her suddenly surged, turning a deep green and becoming as fierce as rocket exhaust, even somewhat frightening.Everyone present was dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Normally, the intensity of the technique was related to the user's spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy of an ordinary cultivator was only average.Hers had already exceeded the comprehensible range.Not to mention them, even Grandmaster Carlex Nova and the others were startled. They never knew
Loud laughter suddenly echoed from the other side.Grandmaster Carlex waved, dispersing all the clouds and mist around the Kenington's camp, leaving only birds leisurely flying.Standing proudly on the giant rock, he said, "I never thought I would hear Grandmaster Burke surrender one day!"Grandmaster Burke, you better think it through. He is the only elite disciple of Ryunington. If he surrenders, Ryunington will miss the chance to win this competition!"Everyone from Kenington looked over with proud smiles.Although the four sacred lands are collectively known as the Four Sacred Lands, they constantly compete with each other and none can eliminate the others.Grandmaster Burke snorted coldly, "Ryunington has never missed the top three in the Grand Competition for hundreds of years. We don't mind to let you win for once."Grandmaster Carlex immediately responded, "There is no need to concede. Continue fighting and continue the battle. Kenington doesn't want to be accused of win
"Shut up!"Seraphine suddenly roared loudly, showing a mix of anger and pain. The flames on her body surged again, furiously charging toward Wallace.Wallace was terrified. He kept dodging but still hadn't stopped talking, "You're a sinner, you don't deserve to live in this world!"Remus was too blind to help you back then, you're not worth it!"Seraphine, why don't you just die!"Boom!The flames around Seraphine surged again. With her as the center, everything dozens of feet around turned into golden flames. It looked as if the sun had fallen onto the island.The flames radiated heat waves, forcing the disciples to use their spiritual energy to resist.Of course, seeing this scene made their minds buzzed. What was Wallace talking about?Why could it make Seraphine so agitated?"Continue, keep going!" Grandmaster Qwell shouted from the crowd. He stood up from the giant rock, knowing what Wallace was doing and shouted, "Keep talking, make it worse!"He saw that Seraphine's e
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
