When dealing with someone capable of defeating Grandmaster Merlion, he could test but couldn't underestimate Remus. If he made a mistake, it could be disastrous. He must eliminate Remus!In that instant, tangible water appeared in the space. It emitted chill and tightly enveloped Remus.Remus' speed significantly decreased as if moving in slow motion. A thin layer of frost also appeared around him."Freeze!" Grandmaster Burke shouted again.The water in the space instantly froze, making a cracking sound as it solidified. Instantly, it transformed into a massive block of ice several hundreds of feet in size, completely transparent."Attack!"The ice color abruptly changed, turning into a pale blue. It resembled ancient ice from a land of extreme cold.Remus was stuck in there and couldn't move.It wasn't only that frost was forming all over his body. He was also turning pale, and his eyebrows and hair had completely turned white from the cold.His eyes were filled with intense
The massive ice formation in the sky began to break apart. Fine cracks first appeared. Then, those cracks spread throughout the entire ice block. Finally, ice particles started to fall from it.The ice was falling like sand and gradually became faster. The falling ice particles created a curtain in the air, resembling a beautiful waterfall.Seeing the scene, all the practitioners widened their eyes, watching as the falling ice particles got closer to Remus.In only a few seconds, the falling ice particles finally reached Remus.With his hands behind his back, Grandmaster Burke smiled faintly. He knew this formidable practitioner, Thunderous God of War of Darsia, and the successor of the Order of Nine Mysticisms, would be shattered into countless tiny pieces and fall into the lake.Finally, the ice particles reached Remus' outstretched hand at the front.Everyone watched as all the ice around his hands melted away in every direction. But instead of falling apart as they expected,
As before, Remus was completely encased in ice. The ice was a deeper shade of blue and exuded an even greater sense of cold.Remus felt his throat itchy. It was a clear sign that the immense cold pressure was about to make him cough up blood. However, he forcefully swallowed it. It was a critical moment. He couldn't let anyone notice anything unusual."Freeze, attack, break!"Grandmaster Burke continued to emit spiritual energy.The ice particles quickly fell and landed on Remus. If the others looked closely, they would see that fine cracks had appeared on his skin, forming a grid pattern that matched the size of the ice particles.The reason he was able to resist the effects of the Nine Revolutions Ice was because of the protection from Heaven Energy. However, now that the Heaven Energy was nearly depleted, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it any longer.Fortunately, it only came close to breaking but didn't crack or shatter.Even though he possessed Heaven Energy and cou
There was an unprecedented silence.The dark clouds in the sky had disappeared, and the air currents had ceased.The lake's surface was calm.Grandmaster Burke stood in mid-air, dumbfounded.The practitioners stood still on a lake, wide-eyed and stunned.They were all staring at Remus. They couldn't comprehend how Remus could swallow that enormous sword.How was that even possible?Remus slowly said, "Have you forgotten that I follow the dark path? I rely on absorbing others' spiritual energy to become stronger. If you didn't attack, I wouldn't have any way to deal with you. But by striking with all your might, you're giving me spiritual energy!"Your full-power strike was effective. I feel like I'm back at my peak again!"Upon hearing that, they finally felt a constant rumbling in their heads.Especially Grandmaster Burke. He felt completely numb all over his body.Did Remus mean he initially had no way out, but that powerful strike had sent him spiritual energy?"That's i
"G-Grandmaster Burke!"The practitioners below witnessed the scene. They were so terrified that they were trembling and became incoherent. The person who fell was Grandmaster Burke, the first Grandmaster of Ryunington!How could he possibly lose?Although they had thought that probably only Saint Master could handle Remus, Grandmaster Burke should have been able to handle him effortlessly.Why did he die?The two halves of the corpse fell into the lake.The practitioners were screaming in fear. It was rare that practitioners could be scared to this extent.In the next moment, they noticed a dark figure coming down from above. It was none other than Remus."Master Cosby, I was wrong!""Please don't kill me. I was wrong!"They were begging for mercy, and even two of the practitioners were almost scared to death.Just as Remus was about to reach the lake's surface of the lake, a red figure suddenly flashed by and caught Remus. It was Ruby!Without Grandmaster Burke activating
Instantly, the entire Ryunington shook violently, and all the buildings began to sway.If someone were standing outside Dragon Lake, they would see the whole lake roiling as if it were boiling.Xaden stood in place with clenched fists, his entire body trembling uncontrollably from anger. He felt like he was about to explode. He could have never imagined that someone would dare to kill his first Grandmaster. Remus was so bold to do that!He questioned, "Where's that scoundrel?""He ran away!" A Grandmaster replied, "After killing Grandmaster Burke, he immediately fled. Saint Master, we've never faced such humiliation in the thousands of years of Ryunington's history!"Others also chimed in, "Saint Master, you must stand up for Grandmaster Burke!""Remus doesn't respect Ryunington at all! How can we tolerate such an insult?""Saint Master, what should we do?"They were all terrified. When Remus destroyed Shenington, they could still watch it indifferently. But the execution of Gr
After Xaden finished speaking, he turned and left.That voice sighed helplessly....Ryunington."Saint Master!"All the Ryunington's members were ecstatic when they saw Xaden reappear. They knew he had gone to pursue Remus and were eagerly waiting for the outcome.Xaden looked grim because he didn't dare to confront that person. Once he took action, the entire Ryunington, including himself, would be doomed.He felt so oppressed being threatened multiple times in a single day!Was he still the Saint Master of the number one sacred land?Xaden composed himself and said indifferently, "Grandmaster Burke wasn't skilled. In a life-or-death situation, he was arrogant, careless, and overconfident. If he had given his all, how could a scoundrel kill him?"He brought all of this upon himself!"Everyone was stunned. They were expecting to hear about the execution of Remus to eliminate future threats. Why was Xaden criticizing Grandmaster Burke?Xaden continued, "From this moment on,
"What did you say?"Ruby shouted, forgetting that she rarely spoke in front of Remus.She said agitatedly, "Are you crazy? You'll die by going back to Ryunington! Have you forgotten that you almost lost your life facing Grandmaster Burke?"Seeing the way she spoke, Remus couldn't help but smile. It wasn't only that Ruby wasn't used to talking. Remus also wasn't used to a phoenix speaking.He said casually, "It's different. If Ryunington wants to take revenge on me, they'll likely search outward. They won't expect me to be hiding in the sacred land. So, I'll give them a fatal blow when they're least prepared."At this very moment, Remus had started to lose interest in the people around him.Tanjen Organization had a barrier. It was one left by the Nine Mystical Spell. Even a Saint Master-level expert wouldn't be able to break it.As for Centuria, they must have learned their lesson and have already gone into hiding.So, he should do what he wanted, which was to seek revenge agai
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
