After three strikes, Remus' fighting spirit had been depleted by one-third, and that was one-third of a Martial Divinity warrior's strength! In contrast, the clan members had expended even more energy!However, in a critical moment deciding between life and death, the clan members became extremely brave. Even though they could tell they were no match for Remus, they still charged forward.At the same time, the only elite left, Dominic Pennington, shouted, "As a member of the Dragon Protector Clan, I disregard life and death! I will fight for the clan and forge its spirit in battle!"His fighting spirit was once again released, and this time, it was completely unreserved.A faint mist formed around him. This was because his fighting spirit was so strong that it caused the surrounding temperature to drop, leading to the condensation of the air."Attack!" Dominic charged toward Remus again under everyone's gaze."Mr. Pennington!" The surrounding people couldn't help but shout out, m
The clan members were all screaming, falling as they did so. The blood they shed looked like dozens of waterfalls cascading from the sky, staining the Island of the Monarch red."I can't take it anymore! I'm going all out against you!""As a member of the Dragon Protector Clan, I disregard life and death! I will fight for the clan and forge its spirit in battle!"The clan members around Remus roared in anger, losing their composure as they rushed toward him. Earlier, they had maintained their formation, but now, they were charging at him one by one.Remus, with an expressionless face, sheathed Immortal Killing. It wasn't because he was showing mercy, but rather because these opponents simply weren't worth using the sword against.He simply released his fighting spirit, and the disciples rushing toward him instantly turned into mist of blood. Instead of being carried away by the wind, the mist fell straight down.One after another, they fell. More and more people turned into mist
The surface of the sea right in front of the clan suddenly started to spin, gradually forming a whirlpool. It grew bigger and bigger, eventually extending from about ten feet to a thousand feet.The depth also went from just a few feet initially to tens of feet. From above, it looked like a bottomless abyss, sending chills down one's spine.Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched.After merely dozens of seconds, this whirlpool had already extended deep into the ocean.On the ocean floor was a woman in a purple robe. She appeared to be around 50 years old. Even though her face showed signs of aging, it still couldn't hide her former beauty.She was the Dragon Protector Clan's strongest member and the second most powerful martial artist in the world, Cheryl. She was also Rafael's partner for the marriage alliance back in the day."Ms. Walter!""Why is Ms. Walter here?""Has she been underwater all these years?"Everyone was stunned. In that moment of shock, they forgot
As Remus spoke, he stood proudly with his hands behind his back. "You accuse me of being ruthless and evil today, but have you ever thought about how you treated me back then?"At first, I returned to the Cosbys with high hopes, thinking I had finally found my family. But what about you? You three major families didn't want me to come back and just wanted me to be your lapdog!"I was very furious, but I still held back because this is the Cosby family's clan. The Dragon Protector Clan wouldn't be where it is today without my family's significant contributions."But you all are still not satisfied. Not only did you want to treat me like your lapdog, but you also wanted me to bark for you. Everyone knows that Ruby is my companion, yet you captured it and roasted it."Later, when I got angry, who among you stood up and spoke a fair word for me? All you wanted was to destroy me, leaving no trace behind. If I didn't have good luck, how could I have survived until today?"He let out a c
Suddenly, the sky changed dramatically, with lightning and thunder erupting within the clouds. It was as if the words "Martial Divinity" were so unacceptable to the heavens that it triggered overwhelming anger.The surrounding clan members were left in utter shock, feeling as if their souls had been struck by a divine thunderbolt."What? Martial Divinity?" Logan trembled all over."Impossible! How could he be at the Martial Divinity Stage? There hasn't been a Martial Divinity warrior in hundreds of years."How could he reach that level, and in such a short time? This is impossible!" Raul exclaimed in disbelief, gesturing wildly."No… This is impossible!" Garth clutched his chest, looking terrified. Waves of regret washed over him.Remus was at the Martial Divinity Stage! He had been hiding his true strength all along!If Garth had known, he definitely wouldn't have taken such a confrontational approach.While the leaders could still speak, the others were completely numb, unabl
At a second glance, the white figure came from Cheryl's hand. It was a sword that gleamed with a cold light and was sharp enough to cut through iron like a hot knife on a butter.Cheryl said coldly, "In times of great conflict, traitors must be dealt with first!"She once again raised her head to look at Remus. "Even if you're at the Martial Divinity Stage, so what? I've stayed hidden for decades, and now, the first thing I do after emerging will be to strike down a Martial Divinity warrior!"As she spoke, she suddenly dashed toward Remus, thrusting her sword with incredible speed. The sword moved so fast that it created numerous afterimages, transforming into a rain of swords which she hid behind.There was no trace of emotion in Remus' eyes. As Cheryl approached, his fighting spirit erupted once more, forming a protective shield around himself.The rain of swords was forcefully stopped, and the afterimages vanished, condensing into a single sword that could move no further.Che
Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly shuddered. They couldn't help but look at Ana. Was she actually pregnant with Remus' child? How was that possible?Ana was expressionless since she had long since been disappointed with her grandfather and the entire family.In this family, there was no sense of warmth or human kindness, and their only pursuit was profit. She could calmly accept her fate even if she was being strangled to death.However, upon hearing Garth's words, she trembled slightly. Without offering any explanation, she looked up.Remus suddenly froze and quickly looked down, his eyes filled with astonishment.A child? He never thought something like that could appear in his life. It was just a one-night thing with Ana back then. How could it be possible that she was pregnant?As he pondered, Cheryl's eyes suddenly filled with a cold determination. Without any hesitation, she charged directly at Remus, raising her sword and aiming for a vital spot.Seeing a shado
Seeing this, everyone below widened their eyes, and their hearts raced. This was the closest they'd ever come to killing Remus.But Remus seemed oblivious, looking down and glancing at Ana and Garth. He said solemnly, "I'm willing to surrender, but please keep your promise and spare her and the child!"Hearing this, the entire clan was overjoyed. Was he really going to surrender without a fight? Was it really over?However, Cheryl snorted coldly and, feeling both embarrassed and angry, said, "If it were before, I would have been very willing to agree to your request. But now, do you think you still have any leverage to negotiate? Die!"Instead of drawing her sword, she unleashed her fighting spirit with her other hand.Remus' fighting spirit was less than a third of its peak. Even when he was defending himself with all his strength, he was still blasted back dozens of feet, spitting blood from his mouth.Cheryl didn't let up. Seizing the moment, she advanced toward Remus, launchi
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
