Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1749
Orison frowned. This was a blatant show of disrespect toward him. The return of the top fighters from the Four Battlefields outside the country was an event that all twelve nations had to attend. After all, if any of the returning champions from Drakonia found out that their representatives were absent, there would be trouble for everyone involved.That was why Orison looked so troubled. This was a test, a choice given to him by Xayne."Mr. Orison, what should we do now?" asked the representative general from the Imperial Garmen Empire, frowning.Others chimed in. "Mr. Orison, if Drakonia doesn't participate, it might cause unnecessary trouble...""What now? Do we continue the meeting?"Everyone looked at each other with indifferent expressions. After all, it was Orison who had made the comments, not them.Orison was silent for a moment before he turned to his assistant. "Go and invite the King of the North back.""Yes, sir."The tall, attractive white woman in high heels swa

"Yes, Supreme Commander!" Ace responded promptly and swiftly relayed the orders.All of them witnessed everything that had transpired in the conference room today. The representatives of the eleven nations had the audacity to demand that Drakonia surrender Canyon Sea and Fisherman Island. Furthermore, Orison from the Newcroa shamelessly proposed stationing their troops within Drakonia under the pretext of maintaining regional stability and security.Xayne firmly refused during the meeting. However, Orison threatened to deploy three aircraft carrier fleets to patrol freely in the Canyon Sea. He even mentioned conducting joint military exercises with the Rising Star Empire by planning naval drills in Canyon Sea. The Rising Star Empire intended to dispatch their Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier for the exercises as well.This infuriated Xayne immensely."Canyon Sea is Drakonia territory. While Drakonia adheres to the principle of free navigation, if anyone navigates Canyon Sea

The strength of the Newcroa was set to reach new heights because three more powerful fighters returned from the battlefields. This alarming fact caused the Fran Empire's prince to frown deeply. "Orison, are you certain there are only thirteen returnees? That's significantly fewer than last time!"The others nodded in agreement. Indeed, the last time the powerful warriors returned from the Four Battlefields, there were twenty-eight of them. The thought of only thirteen this time seemed unfathomable.Orison took a drag from his cigar and explained, "According to those high-ranking figures, the Four Battlefields have become even more brutal. The areas they traverse have lost the essence that previously allowed them to increase their power. To obtain more essence and opportunities and to elevate their power to higher levels, they must venture deeper into the battlefields, continuously breaking new ground and fighting more formidable and terrifying enemies."That's why the number of retu

The next two days were packed with meetings—five in total. Each one ended badly.The other eleven nations had privately reached a balanced agreement as the sessions progressed. They continually pressured Dragos and Xayne, even putting forth various hegemonic conditions and agreements.Xayne staunchly contested each one by fiercely rebutting the proposals from the eleven nations until the final meeting.At this moment, Orison wore a cold smile as he faced the already furious Xayne and said, "King of the North, these are the terms our eleven nations have discussed. If you sign here, we will gladly welcome Drakonia into our coalition, making it the twelfth nation."Together, we can form the twelve-nation summit and lead the world! So, King of the North, why don't you give it some serious thought?"Xayne picked up the agreement and glanced through it briefly. He then snorted, slammed it furiously on the table, and roared, "I will not sign this agreement! Dragos will not sign it, eithe

"Anyone who dares to cross the 50 nautical mile boundary, Drakonia will annihilate all invading enemies in the Canyon Sea at any cost!"At this moment, the seven carrier strike groups received Drakonia's radio warning. However, their commanders merely chuckled in disdain.One of the naval commanders from Rising Star Empire peered through his binoculars at Drakonia's carrier strike group beyond the 50 nautical mile mark. He was clad in a blue uniform adorned with three gold stars on his shoulder. He sneered, "A small country like Drakonia dares to issue us a warning? Ridiculous! Utterly laughable!""General, should we proceed?" his deputy asked while frowning.The naval commander from the Rising Star Empire smirked, "Of course! Drakonia always talks big but never dares to fire on us. After all, we have seven carrier strike groups!""Understood!" The deputy nodded, then gestured broadly, shouting, "Full speed ahead!"The naval commander from the Rising Star Empire nodded confiden
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1754
In the blink of an eye, the seven carrier strike groups swiftly turned around and fled the Canyon Sea.Deuce was standing on the deck of Drakonia's carrier with binoculars in hand. He kept a close watch on the movements at sea. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he immediately dialed Xayne’s number and excitedly reported, "Commander, they’ve retreated."In a hotel suite in Newcroa, Xayne sighed with relief upon hearing the news. "Good! Intensify the patrols," he ordered.He hung up the phone and looked at Ace and Dragos's tense faces. "They’ve retreated," he confirmed."Hahaha! I knew it! Those so-called great powers are nothing but scaredy cats!" Ace laughed heartily.Meanwhile, Orison and a few generals met secretly in a secluded mansion."Hahaha! This time, we'll show Drakonia the consequences of offending our coalition!" Orison boasted arrogantly.The Prince from the Empire of Fran chuckled coldly. "Indeed! Drakonia is still too weak! As soon as our seven carrier strike g

Xayne's face was solemn after the meeting ended, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes."Drakon King, what's going on?" asked Dragos nervously beside Xayne. Xayne rose with hands in his pockets and stood by the tall window. He gazed out at night. "There are five Eternals and three Divine Commanders at the Drakonia border," he said."What?!" Dragos and Ace gasped with faces filled with astonishment and tension."Eternals and Divine Commanders? What are they planning?" Ace quickly asked.Xayne frowned, and his expression became serious. "We don't know yet. They've been stationed at the border for a whole day. According to the latest intelligence from Drakonia’s military, they're waiting for an opportunity.""Opportunity? What kind of opportunity?" Dragos frowned."An opportunity to attack Drakonia," Xayne said coldly. This kind of firepower could overwhelm any of Drakonia's major battle zones, possibly even reaching the outskirts of Drakonix's outer city gates. The situation w

The plane landed shortly after, and the group walked towards the Devil's Canyon. They stopped about a hundred meters from the canyon. The area was filled with fighter jets, armored vehicles, tanks, and special forces dropped from the air, all in a state of high alert.The group set up tents nearby to welcome the battlefield elites the next day.Late at night, Xayne and his team sat inside their tent. Ace glanced at the guard forces outside and frowned. "Supreme Commander, tonight might bring some unusual events."Xayne sat calmly in his chair whilst playing with a dagger. He sneered, "It has already started."Just as he finished speaking, Xayne raised his hand. The dagger became a blinding flash of cold light piercing through the tent. It sliced through the night, striking a special forces soldier lurking in a tree less than fifty meters away. The dagger penetrated his chest, spilling blood.The soldier fell from the tree with a thud. He landed in a pool of blood. The soldiers in

"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
Chapter 2683
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
