Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1740
Fortunately, the Fran Empire squad leader and the Newcroan patrol leader managed to retain some composure, preventing the argument from escalating further."They're not fighting? I'm impressed by their restrain. Let's add some fuel to the fire and make their relationship even more 'intimate'," Xayne muttered as he observed the scene from a distance. He raised his sniper rifle, aiming at the Fran Empire squad leader.With a gub firing sound, the squad leader collapsed instantly, and panic spread among the soldiers. Fear was evident on their faces."Enemy attack. They've killed our leader. We can't let them go!" The Fran Empire soldiers, now leaderless and desperate, shouted.The Newcroan patrol leader was equally stunned, frozen as the realization hit him. The next moment, his head exploded, and he, too, fell lifeless into a pool of blood.With both leaders down, the already strained relations between the two forces reached a boiling point. The Fran Empire soldiers, equipped with r

Beastio roared, trying to mediate the situation. However, Matt pointed at Henry and accused, "You conspired with the people from Drakonia to gather our troops here, deliberately weakening our military strength. You are truly despicable."Henry suddenly realized. "No wonder the Silver Snake Squad's surprise attack failed. We fell into your meticulously laid trap. Matt, I understand now. You plan to exhaust our military forces first and then hold us hostage."The analysis from Henry made sense, intensifying the already existing mistrust. Tensions rose higher."We must fight them now. If we don't, they will wipe us out!" Matt's furious shout instantly disintegrated the Eight-Nation Alliance.Half an hour later, gunshots rang out in the conference room. Soon, only Henry and Beastio remained standing while everyone else lay dead in pools of blood.Meanwhile, a fierce battle among the eight armies ensued at the border. Many foreign troops had come only to capture Xayne and were poorly

The six elders nodded slightly, each in their unique posture, but all wore expressions of solemnity and gravity. Their eyes were filled with a chaotic sharpness.Among them, a slightly taller elder, exuding an aura of authority, looked at the Emperor and asked, "Has the country reached its most critical moment that requires our intervention?"The Emperor replied, "Great Elder, Hanwan has returned.""Hanwan?"Upon hearing this, all six elders frowned, their expressions turning particularly grim.The Great Elder's face darkened significantly as he took a deep breath and said, "Hanwan is a talented individual. Unfortunately, his ambitions are too grand and conflict with the will of the nation. If it weren't for this, I would have considered helping him become the next Emperor."At these words, the other five elders nodded slightly, seemingly in agreement with the Great Elder.However, Hanwan was blinded by his ambition. He had taken a path contrary to the nation's will, betraying b

The Emperor fell silent for a moment before replying, "Great Elder, I haven't informed the KB Kings Circle yet.""You haven't informed them?"The Great Elder tensed at the news, then relaxed as he seemed to understand something. "Your Majesty, I understand your reasoning. However, the survival of the nation is at stake. The KB Kings Circle must also shoulder the responsibility. If they make excessive demands after the war, I will negotiate with them."Hearing this, the Emperor nodded. "In that case, I will follow the Great Elder's guidance."The Great Elder nodded, then looked up at the sky and asked, "Who is attending the external warriors' meeting this time?""Xayne, the supreme commander of the 300,000-strong Dragonbreakers Legion, has reached the level of a Senior Divine Commander," the Emperor said, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement and pride."Xayne? A Senior Divine Commander? How old is he? Why haven't we heard of him before our seclusion?"The Great Elder'

The six elders fell silent, their expressions growing grim.The Great Elder frowned and asked, "Xander's grandson? The Xavier family's bloodline?"The Emperor nodded. "Yes."The Great Elder's face darkened, deep in thought. His demeanor and expression had shifted dramatically. After a moment, he sighed, seemingly coming to a realization. "The Xavier family has sacrificed much for our country. Their contributions have also made them a source of fear and apprehension. Because of this, the Xavier family is seen as both a valuable asset and a dangerous threat. They can serve as generals but must never be allowed to become rulers."Your Majesty, don't forget the dark turmoil during the reign of the third Emperor. It all started because of the Xavier family. The supreme genius of the Xavier family endured a baptism of national fortune to counter the thirteen returning warriors from the Four Battlefields. "Ultimately, he failed. His cultivation was destabilized, his blood vessels erup
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1745
Everyone knew deep down that the exceptional genius of the Xavier family had endured the premature baptism of national fortune to protect Drakonia and slay the returning major battlefield warriors. However, this also led to the subsequent dark events, making it a subject too sensitive to discuss openly.The third Emperor had ordered that this event be sealed in Drakonia's secret history. Everyone who participated in that war was given a death order to keep silent, under penalty of death for their entire family if they spoke a word.From that point on, Drakonia reassessed the Xavier family. Their bloodline was deemed uncontrollable. Once out of control, they became like bloodthirsty demons, with crimson eyes and an aura of bloodlust, driven only by the urge to kill. Consequently, members of the Xavier family could serve as generals but were forbidden from becoming rulers or advancing to higher levels of power. They were also prohibited from undergoing the baptism of national fortune
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1746
The generals and top officials of the eleven nations wore mocking expressions as they eyed Xayne standing in the conference room."Well, well, if it isn't the King of Northern Plains, You're quite late. Sorry, but there's no seat for you. How about standing for the meeting instead?"An elderly white man with a thick beard, dressed in a black suit and a bow tie, puffed on a cigar and sneered. He was Orison, one of the five high-ranking officials sent by Newcroa. He worked in the Strategic Homeland division.Other generals and officials from various nations joined in with cold laughter, echoing the disdain."Drakonian don't deserve a seat. They're nothing but pigs!""Ha! General Albert, you're right! Drakonia is just a bunch of uncivilized savages!""In my opinion, the Four Battlefields should refuse to allow any Drakonia talents in the future."Voices from every corner hurled insults at Xayne.At this moment, Xayne's face darkened. He had his hands in his pockets. He was exuding

It was said that he was a relative of the Queen of the Fran Empire.Immediately, the attendants who had come with the Fran Empire’s general jumped up in anger. They were rushing to check on his injuries while shouting furiously at Xayne, "How dare you assault our prince?! We will sentence you to death!"However, Xayne remained unfazed while glaring coldly at them. "This is just a small lesson. Tell your prince that Drakonia is no longer the weak nation it was a hundred years ago. You have no reason to be arrogant or to judge Drakonia in my presence."He continued, "For five thousand years, except for that one century, every dynasty, every era of Drakonia has not been something people like you could look down upon or covet. Even that century of humiliation is a brief chapter in Drakonia's long history. In the future, Drakonia will rise again and reclaim its place at the pinnacle of the world!"These statements resounded so powerfully that it was shaking the entire conference room.

"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
Chapter 2686
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
