On the other end of the line, Black Dragon, who was at the South Canyon Military Theater Combat Operations Headquarters, answered Xayne's call with a chuckle. "Commander Xayne, what's the rush? What's up?"Xayne replied calmly, "Leavekon Villa in Westsand is under your jurisdiction, right?"Black Dragon frowned and quickly checked the location on his map. "Yes, it's within my jurisdiction. But Westsand is near the coast and separated from Baicilly by a sea. It's also a border area. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"Xayne's expression grew serious. "You should have heard about Hanwan."Upon hearing Hanwan's name, Black Dragon's expression turned grave, and his eyes filled with concern. "I've heard about him. What's going on?""Hanwan just called me and invited me to meet him at Leavekon Villa in Westsand.""Hanwan contacted you?" Black Dragon's heart skipped a beat. Hanwan was a legendary figure from the previous Emperor's era."What are you planning to do?" Black D

A luxury sedan pulled up to the entrance, and Xayne stepped out. He looked up at the opulent Leavekon Villa, a glint of determination in his eyes.He walked forward and entered the grand banquet hall of Leavekon Villa.Inside, glasses clinked, and conversations buzzed among Westsand's rich and powerful figures. Military officers in uniform also mingled, their faces adorned with smiles.Upon seeing the scene, Xayne's heart sank.Hanwan shouldn't have been present at such a high-profile event. Drakonia was under a strict news blackout regarding him, and hosting such a large-scale event seemed out of place.Soon, the owner of Leavekon Villa took the stage to deliver a speech. Xayne realized that the villa had organized the evening as a charity fundraiser. Though labeled as charitable, it was clear to everyone present that this was more than just a simple donation event.'Looks like Hanwan is pulling the strings behind the scenes,' Xayne thought to himself.At that moment, two bodyg

Hearing this question, Xayne frowned, unsure of Hanwan's intentions. However, after a moment's thought, he replied, "A traitor to the country and the emperor."Hanwan chuckled deeply. "A traitor to the country and the emperor. So, in the eyes of the world, I am seen as a great villain."Xayne sensed a deeper meaning in Hanwan's words, as if the world misunderstood him entirely."The things you’ve done are facts, even if they're mislabeled as betrayal," Xayne said coldly.Hanwan nodded, seemingly indifferent to the accusation. "Yes, I did betray Drakonia and the current emperor. But do you know why, Commander Xayne?"Xayne raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it because of your ambition?""Ambition?" Hanwan’s eyes grew profound. "Without ambition, how could I have become Hanwan of the Drakonia? How could I have assisted the current emperor in solidifying his throne?"Xayne fell silent.Hanwan continued, "The Drakonia needs a powerful general to intimidate other nations, not soft diplomacy.

Suddenly, Hanwan's fury erupted. He crushed the teacup in his hand, stood up, and walked to the window. He faced away from Xayne as he spoke in an icy tone, "Tonight, I've arranged for five thousand of my Drakon Slayer Legion's suicide warriors inside the Leavekon Villa. Do you think you can leave here alive?"Hearing this, Xayne stood up calmly and replied with a faint smile, "Are you ripping off your mask now?"Hanwan turned around with a cold smile on his lips. "After all, if I want to return to Drakonia, you and your 300,000 Dragonbreakers Legion will be my biggest obstacle. Therefore, it's only reasonable to eliminate you here tonight."Xayne nodded, his hands behind his back, and smiled indifferently. "You are right. However, I came prepared. Outside Leavekon Villa, I have stationed ten thousand of the South Canyon's Black Dragon Army, all fully armed. If any unusual situation arises inside the villa, these ten thousand Black Dragon soldiers will cover the entire villa with fi

"Don't even think about it. The Light Order is not something we can easily interfere with. The people in there are the most monstrous beings in this world. Even to join the Light Order, I had to pass an extremely stringent examination," Hanwan said with his eyes deep and penetrating.The Light Order was a global organization with few people. The entire Light Order was said to have only ten members. These ten members were known as the Ten Lords of Light. Each one of them was a powerhouse of the highest caliber.Moreover, each of the ten lords had a title. Even if one of them died, a new one would replace them.The Light Order's oath was "Light, eternal, and unyielding!"Everyone would think the Light Order represented the forces of good from these words.However, no one truly knew what exactly the Light Order was."So are we just going to give up like this?" The middle-aged man asked hesitantly.Hanwan nodded and said, "Yes, we'll give that up. We will focus on what we need to

Hammond was handling affairs at the Drakonian Council when he received a call from Xayne. He was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?""I just met with Hanwan," Xayne said calmly."What?!" Hammond was stunned. He stood up abruptly with his face filled with astonishment. "You met with Hanwan? Did he do anything to you?"Xayne shook his head. "Not yet. Mr. Hammond, I believe Hanwan is planning something in secret. The Drakonian Council needs to be on high alert!"Hearing this, Hammond's expression turned serious. "Are you sure Hanwan is up to something?"Xayne frowned and nodded firmly. "I'm sure!""Alright! I will inform the entire Drakonian Council and the Emperor's Pavillion immediately!"Hammond hung up and notified the other three elders of the Drakonian Council without delay.Upon hearing the news, Warren frowned deeply and paced back and forth in the Drakonian Council's main conference room. Finally, he slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Hanwan! He's seeking di

The baptism of the nation's destiny was extremely challenging.Bearing the fate of an entire country was something only those with exceptional resolve could endure.At the same time, the nation's destiny could also bless military troops, enhancing their physical fitness and combat capabilities.However, it would only be considered an excellent outcome if fifty thousand out of a hundred thousand soldiers succeeded upon undergoing the baptism.The Emperor remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let's proceed as planned for now. Increase vigilance in all military theaters. Have the elders guard the city gates, and if any foreign invaders appear, eliminate them! Also, keep an eye on the situation in the four extraterritorial battlefields. If any strong fighters show up, notify me immediately.""Yes, Your Highness!" Drake responded and then turned to leave the Emperor's Pavillion.A figure emerged from the darkness as he stepped out of the Emperor's Pavillion. He was kneeling

Of course, Supreme Black Dragon did not reveal Xayne's identity. That way, unnecessary trouble could be avoided, and enemies wouldn't be alerted.Their plan was simple. It was to lure the enemies out and capture them all in one fell swoop.Since foreign forces coveted this trajectory-altering missile technology, they decided to ensure these foreign agents who infiltrated Drakonia never left.Before long, Peter's call came through.On the phone, Peter was full of humility, "Mr. Xayne, I've heard you're a former officer from Northern Plains. We've long admired you and hope to meet you in person.""Alright," Xayne replied calmly, glancing at Supreme Black Dragon across from him before hanging up the phone.Supreme Black Dragon let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll be off then. You stay here for now."Xayne nodded and saw Supreme Black Dragon off.He also called Serena to inform him he was safe and would have to stay for a few more days.The next morning, Peter sent a driver and a

"There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

"Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning
Chapter 2685
Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp
Chapter 2684
Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c
Chapter 2682
After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
