Adalyn and Xaden were dumbfounded.Remus was practically a mind reader. How could he possibly know what they were about to do?If he hadn't said that before hanging up, it simply would mean there was no need to continue the conversation. But if they disconnected after he said that, they would be embarrassing themselves in front of all the disciples.So, there was no way they could hang up now."Do you have the guts to come here or not?" Remus pressed again.Adalyn's face was covered in sweat, her mind in turmoil. She had never faced such a difficult decision in her life.If she went, she would be walking to her death. But if she didn't go, how should she respond?At that moment, a grandmaster behind her shouted, "You scoundrel, don't try to provoke us. We've already seen through your tricks. You're simply setting a trap! Do you think we'll fall for it?"The other grandmasters also stepped forward. Since they had already become enemies, they couldn't just march toward their deat
Hearing that, the thousands of disciples in Ryunington's square suddenly felt their hair stand on end. Their pores opened, and cold sweat dripped down.Adalyn and Xaden opened their mouths so wide that an egg could fit in it. They never expected Remus to be able to figure it out. How did this guy know that Monington's people were at Ryunington?They stared upward at the vast eyes obscuring the sky, as if gazing down at all beings from the heavens. It was a feeling they had never experienced before.Looking into those eyes made them feel insignificant, inferior, and hopeless, even to the point where they just wanted to kneel before him and submit forever.Xaden responded with lightning speed, quickly raising his hand and shattering the curtain. Remus' eyes in the sky disappeared instantly, and Xaden's focus was no longer on those eyes.He suddenly realized that he was soaked from head to toe, and his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his throat."Saint Master, Remus is c
Since Remus already knew Wilda's location, he and Ruby weren't in a rush.On one hand, people tended to have a mindset of taking chances and wouldn't cut off their escape routes until the very last moment.This meant that both Ryunington and Monington wouldn't dare to do anything to Wilda until they had eliminated Remus first. After all, she could still be used to save their lives.On the other hand, confronting both sacred lands at the same time was risky, and they already knew he was coming, so they must be fully prepared. Going without making preparations would only put Remus in a dangerous situation.By the time they arrived, it was already nighttime.He stood on the horizon outside of Ryunington, gazing down at the vast expanse of the sacred land."Just as I thought, it's quite unusual." Remus gave a faint smile.Ryunington was unusually quiet at the moment, with no trace of spiritual energy.If it were Remus in the past, he would have gone in immediately, but he knew very
In any case, they couldn't go out and check. If they did go outside, it might alert Remus and cause him to flee. What then?"Please be patient, both of you," Cayden Stanton, Ryunington's Immortal, spoke. "Based on that scoundrel's past behavior, he will definitely come. It's just a matter of time. Since we want to kill him to settle our grievances, we can wait a little while."Monington's Immortal, Devin, also said, "Since we have come here, we should make ourselves comfortable."Now that we have descended to the Mortal Realm, there's no need to worry too much about the Upper Realms' matters. There will naturally be someone to cover for us up there."Avery and Ivan couldn't hide their displeasure, but they didn't say anything further.Their displeasure stemmed from the fact that their sacred lands had been decimated, but Ryunington and Monington were still thriving. But the reason why they didn't argue further was because they must seek revenge!The scene became quiet again as ev
Heavenly Demonbane Barrier?Everyone felt a wave of disappointment upon hearing that Devin and Cayden were going to set up a barrier. The reason was simple—it meant that they were about to leave!But upon hearing these words, hope ignited within them once more. Although they had never heard of this barrier before, the name alone sounded incredibly powerful."Then I'll have to trouble you, Immortals!""Thank you for your help!"Adalyn and Xaden slowly spoke. They weren't surprised by the outcome and could accept it.The two Immortals exchanged a glance and started making preparations. After all, the people here were from their sacred land, so they were still devoted and diligent.About two hours later, the two Immortals let out a long sigh.Cayden said, "The formation has been set up. If you stay within it, you'll remain safe. Never mind that scoundrel, even we would find it difficult to get through it."Devin added, "Not only that, but you can also infuse spiritual energy into
Xaden took a deep breath and loudly said, "Everyone, remain calm. Ryunington is protected by a barrier now, so no intruders can get in.""Even if he manages to get in, with Saint Master Adalyn and me here, we'll surely be able to eliminate that scoundrel!"The most important thing before a big battle was to maintain the troops' morale. The consequences would be unimaginable if the disciples got scared and started fleeing.Adalyn also took a deep breath and said firmly, "Fight for the world of cultivation!"This shout, infused with spiritual energy, resonated in everyone's ears, instantly filling them with a sense of heroic spirit."Fight for the world of cultivation!" thousands of disciples shouted in unison, creating a deafening noise.Just then, a louder noise erupted, reminiscent of an earth-shattering disaster. Then, the entire scenery around Ryunington changed suddenly.The sky above was originally bright, and high mountains and flowing streams surrounded them, with clear s
As the saying goes, seeing was believing. No matter how much people demonized Remus in the past, seeing him in person now made it all very real. He was truly stong!All the disciples were terrified as they stepped back once again. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at him.Adalyn thought to herself in despair, with an unprecedented heaviness in her heart, that she was no match for Remus in Ryunington.As an expert, she knew she stood no chance from the moment she attacked. Her testing Remus just now clearly showed that Remus was much stronger than her outside of Monington.It was unbearable. She didn't even dare to respond after being scolded as trash.Meanwhile, Xaden couldn't help but frown now that he had seen it with his own eyes."Are you not going to give it a try?" Remus turned to look at Xaden and asked calmly.All the disciples quickly turned their gaze to Xaden, too, their eyes filled with anticipation.They weren't just looking forward to Xaden making a
However, Remus' attempt at agitating them didn't have the intended effect. Xaden and Adalyn, along with the thousands of disciples, were quietly watching, as if waiting to see if he could break through the barrier.Remus kept a mocking smile on his face, but his heart grew heavier. His original plan was quite simple—to avoid attacking the barrier left by the Immortals head-on.Firstly, it might not be possible to break through. Secondly, even if it could be broken through, it would take a great deal of effort, leaving Remus with no fighting spirit to confront them.So, he needed to apply some pressure gradually to create infighting. Yet now, they were completely united internally, without any division.As expected of the two saint masters, their reactions were indeed very quick. If Xaden had made a move just now, Remus would have already been halfway to success.Right now, it seemed like Remus could only resort to brute strength.Remus didn't hesitate. Since there were no other o
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
