Dean sprinted forward, but the wraiths chased relentlessly, their speed rapidly closing the gap between them. And, to make matters worse, new obstacles emerged ahead. Without hesitation, he grabbed Tyler and threw him toward the danger like a human shield. There was no way Dean could handle all the wraiths on his own, but Tyler's abilities gave them a slim chance. "Don't worry, Elder Dean! I can control a hundred of them—we'll make it out for sure!" Tyler braced himself confidently and rushed out, thinking he had everything under control.However, Tyler did not realize that Felix had anticipated this move. The latter muttered with a smirk, "I knew you'd pull something like this."Just as Tyler was about to use his powers to seize control of the wraiths, Felix appeared out of nowhere. He chuckled coldly and vanished again.In the blink of an eye, Tyler's confidence shattered as he collapsed in a pool of blood. He was not even an Aetherial Realm martial artist, making him no match

Two deputy chiefs appeared, which was exactly what Dickson had feared the most. His worst nightmare had come true."Alright," Dickson muttered. Just as he spoke, his eyes widened in shock and joy as he spotted someone standing at the entrance of Corpse Town. "Dickson, it's been forever!" There stood Felix, smiling calmly. He had not expected to run into Dickson right after coming out of the town.Dickson roared with laughter, rushing over to Felix and pulling him into a bear hug. His happiness was so genuine that it could not be hidden.The two deputy chiefs stood frozen in disbelief. They knew exactly who Felix was—Deborah's apprentice, the one who had been forced into Corpse Town over a year ago. Yet here he was, alive and well, as if he had never faced any danger."No way! Is this kid blessed by the gods or something?" one of them muttered.They could not be blamed for thinking that. Felix had already survived Echo Cavern, one of the three forbidden zones, and now he had made

"Incredible... you can make six pills per batch?" Even Deborah was astonished. As an alchemist, she knew just how difficult refining Ascension Pills was."Excitement aside, Felix, you should know that now that you're out, the royal family probably already knows. Have you considered how to handle this?" she asked seriously. Ever since Felix had entered Corpse Town, they had been racking their brains for a solution, but nothing concrete had emerged—until now.Felix smiled confidently. "Mr. Whitwell, surely you've heard the saying, 'The law doesn't punish when the crowd's too large,' right?"Ezra and the others froze for a moment before realization dawned on them. "Wait... are you planning to..."Felix nodded. "Exactly. I'm going to publicly refine Ascension Pills for free. As long as people bring the necessary materials, they'll be guaranteed at least two pills."Deborah was stunned as she imagined the crowds this would draw. No influential family could resist such an offer. The c

If Felix had continued with his previous approach, the royal family would have only resorted to assassination—such matters were best handled discreetly.But now, things were different. Felix had openly begun pill cultivation, and soon, all of Martial City would know about it. Once people experienced it, they wouldn't be able to resist. If that happened, the royal family would lose control over the Ascension Pill—something they would never allow.That was why the Empress, Cordelia Palmer, called it an open provocation against the royal family's authority.She hadn't mentioned it before because she never believed Felix would dare go this far.All the princes had gathered inside the grand hall. The Emperor sat at the head, and when the Empress arrived, everyone—including the Emperor—rose to greet her. Her seat was beside his."Speak your minds."At the Emperor's command, Zayn immediately stood up. He already had personal grudges against Felix, and he wasn't willing to wait another s

"Sorry, Nerissa. I keep breaking my promises to you, again and again," Felix said.Inside the courtyard, Nerissa sat beside Felix, gently shaking her head. "Don't say that. The royal family is watching from the shadows. Until this crisis is resolved, we won't have a moment of peace.Felix knew how understanding she was. He reached out and brushed her cheek, his gaze full of warmth."By the way, still no news from Westley?""Yeah. He's probably dead by now."Her words were blunt, but after nearly two years without any news, death was the most likely reality.Fortunately, Felix had emerged as her husband, or Westley, the patriarch of the Xavier family, would have been unable to hold his position any longer. However, with the royal family problem still unresolved, there was still an uneasy sense of impending disaster."Felix, your first guest has arrived."From outside, Deborah's voice came through.Felix rose, bringing Nerissa along. Since he was now in open conflict with the ro

Everyone remained on high alert, but within a minute, eight late-stage Transcendent Realm experts appeared, arriving from different directions and in no particular order."Relax, I'm not here to cause trouble," one of them said with a smirk. "I heard that Mr. Zeller welcomes all late-stage Transcendent Realm experts and offers an Ascension Pill every two months. Is that true?"The others immediately chimed in with agreement. It turned out they had all come to be bodyguards, almost leading to an unnecessary misunderstanding. The timing was just too coincidental—eight experts arriving simultaneously was bound to raise suspicion.Hearing this, Felix chuckled. "Of course. If you place your trust in me, my promise stands."Whether some secretly worked for the royal family didn't matter. Felix was no longer someone who could be easily crushed. If anyone tried anything, he could kill them without hesitation. Besides, the first ten experts he had recruited were mostly people he already k

In truth, Zayn was lying. The wooden craving indeed blocked sound, but if someone held its paired counterpart, they could eavesdrop on the conversation. And that counterpart was in the hands of Josiah, the elderly man accompanying him."The fact that His Majesty values my talents is a great honor," Felix said with a polite smile. "However, I've always lived freely, and it was Harmony Clinic that nurtured me. I'm afraid I cannot accept the offer."Zayn was inwardly pleased—this wasn't even something he had to lead Felix into saying."You don't have to worry about Harmony Clinic," Zayn continued smoothly. "We can persuade Mr. Whitwell. As long as you're willing, it's not an obstacle."Felix, let me be honest with you—no matter how much you've seen or heard about the power of the royal family, it's just the tip of the iceberg. If you join us, you'll receive the highest level of treatment—even above us princes."And surely, you've heard of the Empress? The strongest force in Martial C

A day passed, and as Felix stepped out of the courtyard, he was immediately taken aback.The base of Trirock Mountain now had a sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even more late-stage Transcendent Realm experts had arrived."Nala, here are seven Ascension Pills. Keep them safe," he said.Nala accepted the box and, without hesitation, opened it in front of everyone. The seven pills inside gleamed in the light—genuine, without a doubt.For a moment, the gathered crowd was ablaze with excitement. This was unexpected—there should have only been six pills. This confirmed beyond a doubt that Felix's pill success rate was incredibly high.Dickson had already arranged everything with Laura, ensuring that the distribution process was orderly. There was no chance of chaos or disputes breaking out.Among the crowd, Barry was given a shove. "Go on, Barry! Just one Ascension Pill, and our Lufter family will rise again!"Barry's expression was dark with frustration. His fa

Seekstorm's large eyes were bright blue, filled with a hint of timidity and curiosity.Felix didn't dare make any sudden moves. He was afraid of scaring the little beast but also curious about what it was planning to do.After a few minutes of tense silence, Seekstorm slowly began to approach Felix, coming right up to him. It wasn't that friendly with him last time. Seeing its eyes sparkle with a hint of affection, Felix was almost in disbelief. He grabbed the steak and held it out.The little creature almost drooled, but after staring for a few seconds, it forced itself to look back at him instead."Hm? Why are you staring at me instead of eating your favorite steak?"Felix knew it wasn't because of his increased charisma upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm level. It was more likely that something he carried was attracting Seekstorm.After turning down several things with little interest, Seekstorm's eyes lit up when it saw the red bone that appeared during Aiden's demise. It

Who would have thought that Felix would just stand in midair like that, looking down at everyone around him? Wasn't that the sign of a Grandmaster Realm martial artist?It was universally accepted that martial artists of Grandmaster Realm couldn't fly, but they could stand in midair. So far, no technique or secret method has been discovered that could achieve such a feat. While the strongest martial artists could momentarily leverage the air to support themselves, only a martial artist of Grandmaster Realm could stand in midair like that.At that moment, Felix basked in the awe and respect of the people of Ghosttown. His heart swelled with satisfaction.Just as he'd predicted, reaching the peak of Transcendent Realm and absorbing the last piece of the Dragonspine had pushed him straight to the pinnacle of martial prowess—Grandmaster Realm level.No wonder he could absorb the Dragonspine so quickly this time. It only took a couple of days, and even though he was struck by lightnin
Chapter 1098
After confirming the results, with three days left until the full moon, Felix decided to absorb the last piece of the Dragonspine. Having successfully forged his Ethereal Constitution, there was no one in Martial City who could rival him at his current level. Nonetheless, he didn't want to risk any unexpected surprises.By noon on the third day, the sun was blazing down mercilessly, scorching the earth.A middle-aged man and woman quietly approached a particular house."I… I still feel uneasy about this. That's the Demoness' house, after all," the woman said hesitantly.The man scolded her, "What are you afraid of? The Demoness has been gone for nearly two years. She's long since left. Who knows? We might find some valuable treasures or secret techniques inside. Just because she didn't care for them doesn't mean they're useless to us."The thought of potential riches emboldened them. Although the woman hesitated, she eventually steeled herself and continued forward.Just as the

Felix's mind went completely blank at that moment. He was so shocked that he didn't even notice the emerald slip turning into a streak of light and flying away.His new discovery was simply too incredible. The emerald slip contained none other than the next part of the Lone Paragon. Back when he first learned it, he had wondered why the Lone Paragon technique was limited to a threefold power boost. Finally, his suspicions had been confirmed.When he finally snapped out of his daze, he couldn't help but sigh. "Danger and opportunity truly go hand in hand."With his current strength, he mastered this new part of Lone Paragon in an instant, increasing the power boost from threefold to fourfold."Could there be even more beyond this? If I master the entire technique, just how terrifying will my combat power become?"As he took a moment to center himself, an even greater wave of excitement washed over him.Not only did this new section of Lone Paragon increase his power further, but

Felix chuckled. He had to admit that Kevin was an incredibly difficult opponent. He was sure the man had only sensed something unusual, without fully understanding what had changed. Despite that uncertainty, he chose to flee without hesitation."Do you really think you can escape?" Felix asked.Lumen reappeared in an instant, materializing right in front of Kevin as if teleporting. This was true speed at its peak."Humph! I thought you would do something else. This thing failed to break through my defenses previously. Did I misjudge?" Kevin thought.Once again, the red glow flared up, forming a barrier to block Lumen. But this time, things were different.With a crack, something shattered. Lumen had pierced straight through Kevin's body. At first glance, there seemed to be no visible damage. Felix, who had just caught up with Lumen, knew the truth. Kevin was already dead. His soul had been obliterated in an instant.There wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Everything

Felix had no other choice. Whether he would succumb to darkness or not was a problem for later. Since his Ethereal Constitution was still incomplete, he could only unleash Lumen in an attempt to kill Kevin.His strength was beyond anything Felix had anticipated.Just when he thought it was about to be over, Kevin suddenly stood still. A crimson glow flickered around him, then condensed into a shield the size of a plate. It perfectly intercepted Lumen just inches from his forehead."What?" Felix was utterly shocked. This was the first time anyone had ever blocked Lumen. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a dream.Kevin sneered. "Aren't you the miracle doctor's mentee? Do you really think that once a martial artist reaches a certain level, they wouldn't have some understanding of the soul? If I wasn't fully prepared, do you think I would have revealed myself to kill you?"Kevin had a soul-defense weapon similar to the Infinite Shield. Felix found i

What Kevin said next left Felix utterly shocked."Forget Eloise. If the miracle doctor were to release the seals on all nine of your fellow apprentices, I wouldn't stand a chance against a single one of them."Seals on all nine of his fellow apprentices? What did that mean?No matter how much Felix tried to goad Kevin for more information, he wouldn't say another word. He had no choice but to dismiss it as nonsense.After another ten minutes, Kevin suddenly unleashed a devastating strike, which sent Felix flying backward. However, by doing so, Kevin left himself exposed. For the first time, Felix landed a clean hit on him."Felix, now you'll witness the moment I've been waiting for all these years. Without this full-power battle between us, I never would've reached this point!"With that, Kevin pulled out an object. As his upper garments shredded apart, he pressed it against his chest.Felix grew anxious as he had seen that object before. It was the same bone that had flown away

The moment a disheveled old man appeared, Felix knew that it was no coincidence. The old man had come looking for him on purpose. However, the real question was why he dared to do that."I believe this is our first meeting, right, Kevin?"Kevin grinned. "Yes."Felix rolled his neck. After all, he anticipated this fight a lot. During his fight against Cordelia, he felt the need to hold back. However, he didn't have to do that this time. After all, Kevin was one of the best fighters. There was no doubt about that."Did you come to avenge your mentee Aiden?" Felix asked.To his surprise, Kevin shook his head. "No. On the contrary, I should be thanking you for killing Aiden. I believe in fate, and I never try to manipulate it. "When the three Celestial Royals joined forces against you at the foot of Trirock Mountain, I was certain you would die. However, fate took a turn."Felix frowned, struggling to make sense of why he would want to thank him."So many things I thought were des

"What is this thing?" Westley asked."This thing created all the mist in Misty Ridge," Felix replied.He didn't bother explaining the origins of the Infinite Shield in detail. Instead, he simply raised his right hand and touched it.In an instant, the Infinite Shield transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared into his body.As he felt the shield merge with his soul, a lingering sense of unease crept over him as he recalled Ophelia's warning.When dealing with the Three Forbidden Lands, the order of entry was crucial. If done incorrectly, the consequences would be disastrous.He had entered Echo Cavern first by pure luck. Back then, he had been ambushed by Dean and the Grand Elder. Both of them had mastered Transcendent Realm. Hence, Felix hadn't had the luxury of choice. Just surviving had been enough for him.It was only thanks to Ophelia's guidance that he had avoided stepping into Misty Ridge back then. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened?Even though
