Ashton had killed Sharvas, Sunoria's Sword Saint.Defeating and killing were two entirely different concepts. It was simple for masters of the same level to defeat one another because there had to be an outcome if the two fought. Killing, on the other hand, required complete dominance in strength or careful calculations. People would unleash all their hidden potential before they die. That was a horrifying amount of power that might even turn the tides of the battle.However, Ashton not only killed Sharvas, but he also escaped the fight unscathed. When he was done, he was said to have casually killed a Master of Swords in Sunoria who was disrespectful to him and hundreds of members of the Dark Dragon Society and dozens of the Defense Units' members with one technique.It was rumored that those individuals were key players in the previous nuclear attack.The leaders of the companies and groups were so scared that they almost pissed in their pants.Many people celebrated and critici
The door opened, and it was Tyson.He was originally a scammer when he returned from abroad, but instead of being held accountable by Alora, he had been used.However, Tyson did live up to Alora's expectations. In just a few months, he used his words for deception. He had removed all of the obstacles the Alora Group encountered in Imperial Court.It was because of that test that Alora allowed him to continue working alongside her.Alora was well aware that there was no eternal enemy, only eternal benefit."Miss Latham, I have awful news." Tyson wore a glum expression. He walked in on tiptoe, contrasting with how arrogant he had been in Edren County. He was only working part-time, but he was adaptable."Tell me.""I have a friend who is involved in the martial arts community. Even though he is a nobody, he is well-informed. He assured me that Levin is not dead." Tyson smiled bitterly."Hmm? Levin? Ashton?" Alora was taken aback. Not dead? How could it be?"That is correct. A lo
"Ashton? Ashton? Is that you?""Ah, is it really you?"A slender figure ran to the back row.Ashton turned his head and glanced, it was actually Chrissy."Are you on this ride too?""Yes, I listened to you and wanted to leave last night, but there was no ride to go back to the country. The earliest ride was this one.""Speaking of which, we definitely are quite fated to meet each other. This was the fourth time we have met, right? In less than a week, four times." Chrissy said happily."Indeed." Ashton replied without hesitation.However, Chrissy did not feel like Ashton was bullshitting her. She felt that such a powerful person was willing to talk to her, and he was already being very nice by not chasing her away.Not to mention the previous situation where so many important figures from Sunoria were present, he actually took the initiative to greet her and actually giving her his attention.In other words, she wanted to ask him a lot of questions now, and she did not know i
A hush fell over the Yehooda Express Line 1000 passengers as the gruesome scene played out on the screen. When Borra's head struck the ground, the silence was deafening.Confusion and horror mingled in the air as eyes were glued to the display. Who would put on such a violent show without thinking about the children watching?Next to Ashton, Chrissy's face paled, her hand clamped over her mouth to stifle the scream threatening to escape.Mona—Crimson Moon—looked equally disturbed. That was no mere threat. It was a blatant challenge."Ash..."Ashton was on his feet in an instant, his body shooting upward and crashing through the train's roof, leaving a gaping hole behind him. He hovered for a fraction of a second, orienting himself, before stepping into the Northwestern void and disappearing from view.The railway authorities wasted no time in contacting Madeline."Ma'am, the individual you wanted us to watch has disappeared—he has left the train!"Madeline felt an unsettling dr
The superbeings and cultivators glued to their screens could not help but gasp.What was meant by superpower big guns? Perhaps they did not mean simple weapons like handguns or sniper rifles. They must have been talking about a country's heavy-duty arsenal, weapons used to protect its turf and pride.Why did so many titans, even those old heavyweights who had been around for ages, go underground? It was simple. The tech of the big nations was so advanced, their weapons so sharp, that those beings could be wiped out in a blink. They stayed out of sight to avoid giving those countries a reason to come after them.Aside from cultivation freaks like Ashton, a regular Joe spent a decade in grueling training to hit the peak, only to be taken out by a simple bullet. Those who aimed to be an inner strength cultivator? They poured in over 20 years, and still, they could not dodge a bullet.Grandmasters were hard to come by in Lindorm—such a position required years of hard work, natural tale
Ashton summoned an infinite stream of light and dark energy from every direction on his second attempt, mastering the Life and Death Seal with greater ease. The world behind him was a stark contrast of black and white.Suddenly, a massive Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone emerged behind him. With a gentle push of his hands, the millstone, akin to a locomotive with blades for a cowcatcher, barreled forward, cutting through all in its path.With a single swing, the summoned Spiritual God met the Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone with a violent clash.A brilliant white radiance exploded into being.The sword shattered in an instant, the Spirit God's phantom form disintegrated, and the relentless millstone continued its path, grinding through all obstacles.Boom!The Dust Barrier crumbled to pieces.The triple-layered Dust Barrier was torn apart by the impact of the Light and Dark Twin Fish millstone, revealing a gaping maw.Beyond that, Ashton noticed a hole in the very fabric o
"It's Yehooda's regular army.""They have 4132 men.""Ashton!""Ashton!" Mona yelled from the window, her voice reaching Ashton, who was standing a few blocks away. Screams pierced the air from the train's passengers.When Ashton heard her, he strode to the electric train. Mona dashed over to meet him."Mister Levin, you need to get out of here. They've sent a whole regular army against you, and that's something not even a cultivator can stand against," Mona said, her voice laced with urgency.She noticed Ashton was sweeping his gaze across the train's interior; he did not look like he was leaving. So, Mona said, "Mister Levin, you're powerful, top of the Chart of Supremes, and you've even taken down Sunoria's Salcedo Sword Saint. No one might be able to touch you now, but don't underestimate a nation's military might. Others as strong as you have done so and paid with their lives!""The Martial Arts Defense Bureau has set up troops and choppers for extraction at the border. Sun
"I need everything you have on him, and I mean everything. Get me a report, stat," Douglas said, his voice tense."Already on it, Mister Latham. Here's the brief." One of his guys handed him a file brimming with intel.Douglas had been swamped with Northern Ace and Western Lands' business for months, barely catching a break. He was out of the loop on the home front, especially out of touch with the martial arts community.Douglas' eyebrows shot up in surprise as he scrolled through Ashton's recent highlights. Three months ago, it appeared that Ashton had turned the martial arts world and the dark web into his own personal show, with every story singing his praises.Sunoria unleashed its devastating Nuclear Weapons Pacification Plan in a fierce battle for the mythical Water of Life. Against all odds, three months later, the man emerged from the ashes, landing on Sunoria's shores with an iron will and an unstoppable force. His conquest campaign began at Pailedo, and he swept through
