Soon, Remus and Goetz arrived at an alley in the center of Centuria. The place was heavily guarded, with armed guards stationed around the alley. There were also several powerful grandmasters hidden in the shadows.The two entered the alley and parked their car in front of a courtyard. A middle-aged man with a square face stood at the entrance, exuding an imposing aura. When Goertz and Remus got out of the car, the man immediately said in greeting, "Sir Malin."Anyone who was observant could tell that he was Hanson Baker, the leader of Centurio. Despite being called the city's leader, his status far exceeded that of Frank's. Even their future prospects were incomparable. Goetz asked solemnly, "How is Sir Baker doing?"A hint of bitterness appeared on Hanson's face as he shook his head. "Same old, same old. Sir Malin … What about the doctor that you mentioned?" He couldn't help but ask after noticing that there were no other people in the car except the driver. Goetz regained his
Remus pushed the door open and stepped in. "Go away!" As soon as the door was opened, a deafening roar came from inside. An old man, with disheveled hair and sunken eye sockets, was lying there on the bed. He was covered in blood. He looked like a madman, but beneath his two pitch-black brows were a pair of captivating eyes.It was indeed Senior Baker, Goetz' superior. He had been tied up by Hanson to prevent him from hurting himself; the injuries on his body were all self-inflicted.Senior Baker angrily shouted, "Who are you? Get out of here, or I'll kill you right away! No, I'll blast you with a cannon!"He didn't want anyone, especially outsiders, to see him in such a state.Remus walked over to him and placed his hand on his pulse, saying calmly, "If Goetz hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come even if you had a nuclear bomb."Senior Baker's eyes widened in anger, "You ... you dare to mock me, little brat? Goetz, get in here, take him away immediately, now, or I'll kill you
The bowl of flower juice was too frightening! It looked like poison!Before he could finish his words, Senior Baker interrupted firmly, "I'll drink it! I'm not afraid of guns and bullets, why would I be afraid of a bowl of medicine? Give it to me!"Senior Baker looked outside the door and prepared to drink the medicine despite feeling uneasy.At that moment, a shout came from outside the door."You can't drink it!"Then, an old man dressed in azure robes with a goatee entered the room."Dr. Marley?""Dr. Marley?"Everyone was surprised by his arrival.It was Stone Marley, the chief doctor of the National Medical Pavilion, also known as "Eight Needles" because he only needed eight needles to treat any type of illness. Senior Baker's illness was initially treated by him, and it did show some improvement, but later the condition became worse, and he was helpless. He was the one who diagnosed it as a bizarre illness."Dr. Marley, you finally came. Please take a look. Can this med
"I …"Dr. Marley was frozen in place, and he had no solution. But seeing the looks in their eyes, he nodded and said, "Let me try!"As he spoke, he took out a silver needle.…Goetz arrived at the alchemy room and sighed when he saw Remus still preparing the medicine. He slowly uttered, "Remus, let's go.""Huh?" Remus was startled. He saw that they were the only ones in the room. He also noticed the unpleasant expression on Goetz's face, so he asked in surprise, "Has Senior Baker not recovered yet?"There was no way.The prescription should've got rid of his illness completely.Goetz revealed an awkward smile. He didn't want to say it, but after being questioned repeatedly by Remus, he finally revealed the truth.Remus' face immediately turned serious as he sneered. "Let me guess, those people probably think I have bad intentions. And if I guessed correctly, Senior Baker is probably suffocating right now.""Uh ..." Goetz nodded. How did Remus know?Remus continued, "The Bake
Everlasting Revive Needle?The Baker family members didn't understand, but they could see the effects. Seeing Dr. Marley's reaction, it seemed to be an extraordinary acupuncture technique. Dr. Marley voluntarily explained, "This is the legendary acupuncture technique called the Everlasting Revive Needle. To this day, people believed that the historical figure, Lady Yarna, was revived after being killed by her husband. This was the technique used to revive her."Everyone was stunned, amazed by the legendary acupuncture technique.Dr. Marley said between gritted teeth, "To be honest, historians couldn't confirm whether Lady Yarna was alive or dead because there was no way to prove that this technique actually exists! I only managed to find the recipe with only six needles on it. My friend who was a historical researcher asked me to recover the last two needles, but even after experimenting for twenty years, I couldn't find it. Never did I imagine that one day I would actually witnes
Hanson was completely shocked as he exclaimed, "It's that incredible?"Dr. Marley nodded heavily, "That's just a low-grade pill. The one Dr. Cosby has mastered is a top-grade pill. One of these pills would probably be enough to make Senior Baker feel as energetic as a young man!"The Baker family members were completely dumbfounded.What kind of person did Goetz bring here?Hanson became extremely excited and his body started trembling like never before. If anyone saw him like this, their jaws would drop. After all, he was the top figure in Centuria!Hanson walked up to Remus and said solemnly, "Mr. Cosby, I'm deeply grateful for your great kindness. I will never forget it. Thank you, Mr. Cosby!"The Baker family collectively bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cosby!"Remus casually placed a pill into his mouth, as he also needed some rejuvenation.Nonchalantly, he said, "Don't be shameless. The Resurrection Pill isn't for you. I'm just borrowing your alchemy room. It's all for my
As the door opened, only then did she notice that the private room was full of people.They were all young men. They looked over to the source of the sound and their eyes widened when they saw Miranda. She was truly beautiful!"Um …" Miranda was surprised. She initially thought it would just be a private dinner, so she never expected so many people to be there. And they were all men, making her even more uncomfortable.When Gemma saw their expressions, she was delighted. As long as they took a liking to Miranda, everything would fall into place easily."Come, Miranda, don't be shy." Gemma pulled Miranda into the room and found her an empty seat. Miranda wished to leave, but since she was already there, it would be impolite to leave immediately. So, she could only take a seat for now."Let me introduce you."Gemma said proudly, "This is Stewart Long from the Long family. He's one of the seven major families of Darsia. He's the eighth descendant of the Long family. His grand-uncle
"I don't mind being friends with everyone, but there wouldn't be any other sort of relationship between us," she said. Talking about her engagement was just to divert the topic. But it was also related to the topic. Tomorrow, after her period ends, they'll be together, just like a married couple. In all honesty, she was nervous and felt a bit uneasy. "That scumbag hasn't even proposed yet!" She thought. But thinking that this was how modern couples usually are, she's come to accept it."Oh ..."Everyone looked at Gemma simultaneously and thought, "Wasn't she single? Why does she have a fiance?"Gemma's face tightened, visibly annoyed. "Are you kidding? Is it worth it for that scumbag? Any of these men here today can leave Remus in the dust! I'm doing this for your own good. Why don't you understand?"Gemma had set up such a good plan, and yet Miranda still had to mention Remus. It was too disrespectful!Miranda could sense Gemma's displeasure. But still, this was Centuria. Althoug
According to Milton, he claimed to have witnessed Remus conspiring with Roman. This led them to assume that Remus might be hiding within Netherhold. Of course, it was also because Milton didn't tell them exactly where he saw Remus.Clyde and Noah simply stood there for a full 15 minutes, neither making any move, as if they were testing each other's patience and determination. Behind them, the 20 immortals remained silent, mirroring their actions closely as they all gazed at Netherhold. In reality, it was not that they were unwilling to take action—they were too scared to.They didn't expect to succeed in their mission to kill Remus when they came here. Not only had Remus already developed an avatar, but his previous feat of slaying Kurt had already made him someone they couldn't hope to contend with.When they came, they had already planned to flee at the first sign of trouble. Over half of the weapons they brought were intended specifically for their getaway.The main reason for
And Wilda… According to Tyson, rescuing his parents required having nine fiancées, and Wilda was the last one.Remus grabbed Candace's long skirt and covered her, then turned around to remove the barrier.But just as he reached the cave's entrance, Candace suddenly spoke. "Wait!"Remus stopped and looked at her.Candace didn't turn around but said slowly, "If you don't want history to repeat itself, then don't go back to Darsia. Leave Darsia as soon as possible, the farther the better."Remus was taken aback for a moment. Leaving Darsia was understandable. After all, having reappeared in the world as an avatar, the Upper Realms must be furious. They'd already come to the Underworld to search, and their next stop would definitely be the Mortal Realm.He had already developed an avatar, and in terms of cultivation, he was at the Emperor Stage. Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm, he had gathered the faith of Darsia's 1.4 billion citizens and made a great vow to become a Half-Step Monarc
Remus was stunned, rooted to the spot. He stared blankly at his hand, his eyes wide with astonishment.Before this, he was a specter, and Candace's spectral state was in control of her, which meant she was also a specter.When a specter interacted with another specter, they would be corporeal to each other. This was also the reason why he was able to hold her wrist and have relations with her. But now, his hand was phasing through her wrist. Could it be...Candace had noticed Remus' realization. Without another word, she turned her back to Remus. Given the current situation, there was no point in saying anything further.When Remus saw her move, he snapped back to reality and raised his hand to look at it. It was completely different and had regained its color.Remus was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of shock. After all, it seemed like he had regained a physical body.Remus kept wondering how this happened because it was completely beyond his understanding. He had just absorbed Can
Candace quickly said, "The Demon Lord is seriously injured and is currently in a deep sleep. No matter what you do, she won't appear. Threatening me won't work!"Remus paused, sensing that she was telling the truth. He asked in a deep voice, "When will the Demon Lord wake up?""I..." Candace's eyes showed anger again, but more than that, there was humiliation. Besides this conversation about when Remus could "take over" her completely, there was also the helplessness.But just as she was about to speak, she cried out in pain as her radiant energy seemed to become more prominent, suggesting her physical form was beginning to regain control.Remus was unsure of what would happen if her physical form took control, so the best approach for now was to continue as before, allowing the specter to remain in control. They could at least still hold a conversation that way.He quickly grabbed her wrist to channel energy into her. But unlike before, Remus' energy not only failed to suppress t
Demons were essentially humans. To be precise, their composition was similar to that of humans, encompassing both a physical body and a specter.Mortals were defined by their physical bodies, so their specters weren't seen, and they lived in the Mortal Realm. Meanwhile, demons were defined by their specters, so they lived in the Underworld since their physical bodies rarely mattered.But it seemed that Candace was transforming, with her body becoming more dominant. The energy from her physical body started to overshadow her specter, and she was on the verge of becoming purely human. The scorching heat that Remus felt was what people commonly refer to as radiant energy.Candace didn't respond, keeping her eyes fixed intently on Remus.Remus furrowed his brow. "Could I have misunderstood earlier? The icy and fiery energies within you are not a battle between you and the Demon Lord for control of your body, but rather a struggle between your physical body and specter for dominance?"
All of this happened so fast and unexpectedly, so they were completely unprepared.Seeing the others' shock, Francis' expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly, "Everyone, the Upper Realms have been too comfortable for too long. All the other immortals are unaware of this, and perhaps you haven't realized it, either."In just two short years, Remus has grown significantly. At this rate, combined with the Underworld Emperor's power, it might be possible for him to overthrow the Upper Realms. By then, we will all cease to exist!"Hearing that, the immortal emperors came to a realization. The three exchanged glances, all knowing what the others were thinking.Indeed, all this time, they had never really given much thought to Remus. Even though his rapid progress sometimes surprises them, it was as if they were standing at the finish line watching someone else sprint toward it. All of this had merely been entertainment for them.Yet, they had forgotten that this race di
When Francis heard that question, he first nodded, then gently shook his head.The three Immortal Emperors appeared a bit surprised by this response. It was a yes or no question. What did Francis mean by this?Francis didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "Just as we suspected before, that kid was indeed saved by the Underworld Emperor and is currently hiding in the Underworld."The other three's expression turned grim. Back when Remus self-destructed in Centuria, they truly believed he had vanished into nothingness, as they couldn't find even a trace of his presence.But when Remus' avatar appeared again recently, they realized that he must have played a trick on them. Otherwise, he couldn't have shown up again!There were only two beings in the realms with such abilities—Roman and Francis. The first thing they did was ask Francis, who denied it, which meant it must be Roman.Even though they were confident, they couldn't ask Roman outright because it had been hundreds
Milton smirked coldly and mocked, "All those excuses sound nice, but they're just a way to justify not going. I went to investigate alone, but did I ever back down? You're all always so timid and hesitant in situations, yet you dare to covet the position of the Eastern Immortal Emperor. It's ridiculous."Clyde and his group were left red-faced and speechless, unable to argue back since Milton had indeed found Remus.Meanwhile, Noah's supporters secretly chuckled, thinking it was good that they got exposed immediately.But Milton suddenly turned his head and said coldly, "You are all the same, just a bunch of cowards. It's truly an embarrassment for me to stand together with you in Heaven!"Noah's supporters immediately froze, glaring at him intensely.Just as the atmosphere was getting awkward, Francis suddenly said, "Then, Noah and Clyde will go. You are both allowed to form your own teams, and whoever can take down Remus will rule over the eastern domain."Noah and Clyde sudden
"What?""That's impossible!""Stop making baseless claims!"The immortals were all taken aback, staring in disbelief. They couldn't believe it. Setting aside why Remus would be in the Underworld, the idea of him joining forces with Roman seemed implausible.After all, Roman was the emperor of his realm, comparable in power and status to Francis. Remus didn't even have the standing to speak with him, let alone form an alliance. How could that be possible?The look in Francis' eyes deepened slightly, but there wasn't much change in his facial expression, as if he was contemplating the truth of the matter."Why would I lie to you?" Milton was very displeased when he saw they didn't believe him. "I witnessed them collaborating and discussing how to overthrow the Upper Realms."If you don't believe me, you can see for yourselves by going to the Underworld. But if I'm right, you must apologize to me in public!"Upon hearing this, all the immortals went silent, as no one was willing t
