Richardo felt a tremor and was startled. "How could you hit me? That's impossible!"There was no reason for Remus to reach him.Remus took advantage of Richardo's distraction. He condensed his spiritual energy into a knife form, fiercely chopping toward the Eternal Life Tree and cutting off one-third of it with this blow.At the same time, he stated, "The so-called Eternal Life Tree can be broken by wizardry. It's only a tricky technique and nothing remarkable!"As his words fell, the whole venue was in an uproar.Especially the people from the three sacred lands were even more shocked. Wizardry? Did Remus mean Mundane's wizardry? They felt despair when they saw this Eternal Life Tree, but it turned out it could be broken with wizardry."Shut up!"Richardo yelled angrily, his expression unprecedentedly ferocious. He never expected that the secret of the Eternal Life Tree would be revealed. Most practitioners disdained wizardry and wouldn't use it.From this perspective, the Ete
"No!""Don't!""Stop!"Grandmaster Burke, Grandmaster Aurelius, and Grandmaster Carlex abruptly shouted, unable to watch Remus die. He wasn't only a genius but also held the secret of how to boost spiritual energy.Even without those reasons, he had sacrificed too much to reach this point. No matter how harshly they scolded him, he still compromised them to let him participate in the Grand Competition."Remus!" Seraphine also stood up, unable to help but call out."No..." Glinda subconsciously murmured."Don't!" Wilda and Elena simultaneously shouted.The disciples from the four sacred lands also widened their eyes.However, Richardo, who had been infuriated, completely ignored them. Not to mention that they were shouting to stop him. Even if they rushed out to rescue Remus, he would never let it happen!Remus was extremely weak, with no power to resist.In only an instant, Richardo had already clenched his hands. The vines entwined around Remus tightened.After a loud bang
Then, they witnessed an unforgettable scene. A figure slowly leaped from the sea, with one hand behind his back and holding a style book in the other hand.He appeared elegant and extraordinary with deep eyes. It was none other than Remus!The entire venue was filled with gasping sounds. Everyone was astonished.Grandmaster Aurelius and the other two were likewise dumbfounded.Wilda and Elena trembled slightly, while Glinda froze.Seraphine stared blankly at Remus.The people from Shenington were startled and motionless."It's impossible!"Richardo saw Remus clearly and exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost.He claimed agitatedly, "I killed you just now! Your spiritual energy was dispersed! I completely wiped you out! Why can you still stand here? Why!"Nobody understood. Everyone had seen Remus die. It couldn't have been mistaken. But he reappeared!"Kill me?"Remus arrogantly rose into the air and placed away the book. He smiled faintly. "The one who fought with you just no
Upon hearing that, everyone felt a jolt. This sentence sounded so familiar. It had only recently been repeated several times.The difference was that earlier, Remus Clayton was the one being asked to forfeit to Richardo. And now, the situation had reversed, which appeared palpable irony."No... no... no! I won't forfeit! I'm the young saint master of Shenington! I'm a true genius! How can I forfeit? When I return, I'll inherit Shenington! I'm the renowned saint master of my generation! I absolutely won't forfeit!"Richardo kept shouting, looking increasingly frenzied. However, as he spoke, his spiritual energy could no longer withstand Remus' attack. Flames began to scorch his skin, emitting a grating sizzling sound."Young Saint Master..." Grandmaster Merlion wanted to advise Richardo again, but he realized it was too late. He quickly looked at Remus and angrily shouted, "Stop now! You scum! If anything happens to Young Saint Master, I'll make you worse than death!""Stop!""Sto
Seraphine received two golden lights, while Glinda received three.Originally, there should have been one more for the third place. However, due to Remus' participation, that one had been given earlier, leaving only one more.In total, there were 16 golden lights. Glinda received seven, while Seraphine received six.Remus was left with only three from Richardo.Garfield took a deep breath and announced, "The top three may enter the arena now!"Glinda and Seraphine quickly stepped onto the path.Remus grinned slightly as he looked at the two people standing beside him and prepared to speak. However, Garfield simultaneously announced, "Activate the Sacred Ruins!"The small arena on the sea began to quake and slowly descended. Astonishingly, the surrounding seawater didn't rush in. It seemed to operate as a barrier, remaining in its original position.Remus Clayton was somewhat bewildered. Sacred Ruins? Was the arena sinking? Was this the reward for the top three? All the discip
By now, the Grand Competition had ended. Everyone gradually calmed down and began to recount the events in detail. Everything seemed weird to them. Remus appeared to be deliberately opposing Shenington."Could it be that he's Remus Clayton from the haze?" someone said.Upon hearing that, the atmosphere suddenly became eerie. Everyone had thought the same thing."It's impossible!"Grandmaster Burke was the first to speak, "The Remus Clayton from the haze is only at the Nascent Soul Stage. How could he possibly become a peak Divine Separation Stage practitioner in only a few days?"Grandmaster Aurelius shook his head. "He's undoubtedly a genius. But throughout history, no genius has ever leaped from the Nascent Soul Stage to the peak of the Divine Separation Stage in such a short time. It's only a coincidence that they share the same name."Grandmaster Carlex echoed, "Exactly. It's only a coincidence!"They denied it so quickly because Remus Clayton had desperately begged to join
The disciple dashed to Shenington's camp, knelt in mid-air, and exclaimed, "I'm not here to bring good news but to report a disaster!"Young Saint Master, Grandmaster Merlion! Remus Clayton has slaughtered Shenington!"Everyone froze, including the disciples from the other three sacred lands. What did he say?"Bullshit!" Richardo exclaimed angrily, "Shenington still has Grandmaster Molivo, several Masters, dozens of Deputy Masters and Temple Lords, and over a thousand disciples! Even ferocious beasts dare not protect Remus Clayton. How could he slaughter Shenington?"The disciple didn't hesitate and spoke plainly, "Young Saint Master, we were mistaken from the beginning!"The reduction of the haze was neither due to the ferocious beasts showing weakness to you, nor to send out Remus Clayton. It's... We don't know Remus Clayton practices a dark path."Not only can he absorb practitioners' spiritual energy, but he also used some kind of dark techniques to convert all the haze into
At the same time, Remus, Glinda, and Seraphine had just stabilized themselves.Roughly estimating, they had descended at least a thousand feet. Strangely, the seawater around them remained in place, forming a towering wall like a thousand-foot-high barrier. Looking up from here, the sky and ground appeared to be mere specks of dust."Remus..."Seraphine rushed over, disregarding everything and tightly embracing Remus. She wished to merge her body with his. Her voice choked with sobs as she said, "I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's all my fault..."At this moment, she no longer had the demeanor of a saintess but rather resembled a fragile and vulnerable girl.Remus felt a pang in his heart as he heard her weep. He immediately removed his mask and embraced her with his true face, comforting her, "It's not your fault. It's natural for children to heed their parents' wishes."When our loved ones beg us, no child can remain indifferent. What you did was en
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
