Suddenly, there was a noise at the lake's bottom.The spiritual energy around a practitioner exploded, causing the lake water to ripple continuously.The other practitioners instantly opened their eyes and looked over. Although they were focused on their meditation, they were also extremely sensitive. Even the slightest disturbance could startle them."What's wrong?""What happened?""Fellow, are you alright?"Everyone expressed their concerns to him one after another.That practitioner was panting heavily, and his whole body tensed. He struggled to speak, "I apologize for disturbing everyone. I still can't fully meditate. The scene of that scoundrel killing Grandmaster Burke keeps replaying in my mind. I can't calm myself!"Everyone went silent after hearing it.The truth was that this kind of situation must have happened before. After all, it had only been three days since the great shock. It was impossible to fully recover so quickly.Moreover, on that day at the lake, som
"How dare you come here!"They were stunned.As Remus approached, he released his spiritual energy, gradually shaping a long blade in his hand.He appeared from behind to investigate whether Xaden was meditating in seclusion. According to Grandmaster Burke, if Xaden wasn't in seclusion, he wouldn't have escaped Xaden's notice while entering the lake.If Xaden didn't notice anything, he was probably meditating in seclusion.Remus went along with the risk and walked over from underwater.The practitioners watched as Remus got closer. Most of them started to panic, but a few were still immersed in their emotions and hadn't yet adjusted.They shouted, "Perfect timing! Let's take him on!""Anyone who backs down is unworthy of being a practitioner!""Remus Cosby, do you think we're afraid of you? We'll fight you to the death!"After saying that, the last practitioner disregarded everything and unexpectedly charged toward Remus.It was just that as soon as he rushed over, Remus spl
Should he go in?Remus was certain that Xaden was meditating in seclusion. Otherwise, the latter would have shown up because of the commotion.Thus, even if he went in now, there was a high chance that Xaden wouldn't wake up. He'd only face Ryunington's members.However, Ryunington had other Grandmasters. The only reason he could kill Grandmaster Burke was because he could absorb spiritual energy. Even if he entered and absorbed one of the Grandmaster's spiritual energies, the others would attack him.He didn't seem able to handle it himself. But he would regret not entering since he was already here.After thinking for a moment, Remus decided not to take the risk. It wasn't for his sake but for the people around him.He took a deep breath and said, "But I can't just leave like this!"He then drew his treasured dagger and delivered a powerful strike at the main door.The sound was much louder than when he killed the practitioners. The effect was much more shocking, causing the
Grandmaster Jetton sensed their agitation but didn't get excited. Instead, he sweated profusely and thought, "Is that brat crazy? How dare he come here?"I've just taken charge of everything and haven't even enjoyed it yet. If I'm the first to rush out, I'd end up being killed like Grandmaster Burke!"Once I'm dead, I'll lose everything!"After a moment of hesitation, he pretended to be serious and said, "That arrogant brat is so bold to come to our sacred land again! Very well, I'll meet him. Go bring him to me!"Grandmaster Jetton planned to let others face Remus' initial attacks to wear the latter's spiritual energy out. In that way, his chances of winning would be higher!It wasn't embarrassing for him to say that he'd wait here. But after he said that, everyone behind him became quiet.The previously boastful Grandmasters and Masters went silent, while the practitioners lowered their heads as they only dared to boast.Who would dare to confront that monster? They wouldn't d
After half a day, the news had finally spread.It wasn't the informants from other sacred lands who spread the news because they had already been indiscriminately killed by Remus.Some practitioners happened to come to Ryunington and intended to go to the lake's bottom. Upon arrival, they saw the lake's surface covered with floating corpses. When they reached the lake's bottom, they found it completely emptied.So, they immediately fled and spread the news.Monington.Grandmaster Aurelius was even more terrified. "Saint Master, Remus Cosby is a madman. He went to Ryunington and massacred the practitioners. He'll likely come to Monington."How about we let Glinda and Wilda leave?"Adalyn remained silent.Kenington.Grandmaster Carlex felt his heart beat faster. "Saint Master, I've sent more people to investigate. Not only did Remus Cosby kill practitioners, but he also damaged Ryunington's gate. For some unknown reason, he didn't enter. I'm certain that he's likely coming here
"Hmph, that's better!""Didn't you know what you should do? Why didn't you mention it earlier?""He must have pretended to forget it!""Remember your promise. Don't leave for a week. If you dare to, I'll beat you to death!""You finally have the right attitude to admit your mistake!"What they most hoped for was that Remus could always stay by their side. His promise finally brought them some relief.Remus was rendered speechless. Women always paid attention to companionship. However, this time he truly planned to spend some time with them. He had thought to do that before, but Husan's matters came up at that time.Seeing their attitudes soften, he swiftly seized the opportunity. He picked up the gifts and handed them over. "Take a look and choose whichever you like."The five women didn't reject him and finally looked at the gifts."This looks pretty nice; the design is traditional. It's probably quite old, right?"Kylie was the first to pick up a treasure that resembled a s
The things they held were the treasures.Remus had tested their power in the Sacred Ruins and the Grand Competition site. He also repeatedly used Sky Splitter with the treasured dagger.Their power was unimaginable, and the Cosby residence couldn't handle its power at all!"Stop..." He wanted to stop them, but it was too late.Those treasures simultaneously flew out.Kylie's comb swiftly moved upward, piercing through the roof and shooting straight into the sky. Additionally, each tooth of the comb flew out like sharp arrows to break through everything.Gabriela's silver spear shot out the door, flying straight ahead and unstoppable.Husan's gourd flew into the courtyard, rapidly expanding as gas continuously poured out of it.Miranda's long whip extended infinitely, stretching hundreds of feet and cutting through the entire area, ready to strike down with great force.Jean's box also flew out. Its lid opened, and the box started to enlarge, flipping over to fall.Witnessing
They all turned to look at Remus questioningly, but they were full of joy.They initially thought he had only given them a souvenir. Even though they saw the treasures shining, they only thought those treasures appeared exceptional.It appeared that they were powerful weapons!Remus instantly returned to his senses and smiled relaxedly. "I told you all before. I'll only give extraordinary gifts. Do you believe me now?"These are treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years. Always keep them with you. If you use them properly, you can even deliver a lethal strike against Martial Imperial, Supreme Martial Imperial, or practitioners in the Divine Separation Stage."It wasn't an exaggeration. With only a casual strike, those treasures could show power equivalent to the peak of the Divine Separation Stage. Even if those women's abilities weren't high, anyone below the middle phase of the Divine Unity Stage would either be seriously injured or killed if they made a surpri
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
