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
As soon as the special forces captain saw the figures of Xayne and his men approach, his fear escalated. He raised his gun, trembling, and shouted, "Fuck! Stay back! If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"However, Xayne was unfazed. He stepped forward while slowly approaching the captain. The captain panicked and pulled the trigger, unleashing a barrage of bullets. However, Xayne merely raised his hand, and the bullets seemed to be halted by an invisible force suspended in mid-air. Then, with a simple gesture, Xayne crushed the bullets, causing them to explode into fragments.This display of power was the characteristic of a Divine Commander. It was beyond the comprehension and capability of ordinary people. Upon witnessing this, the special forces captain was utterly terrified. He dropped his gun and turned to flee, but Xayne raised his hand again. The daggers from the fallen soldiers' belts floated up. Xayne waved his hand, and the daggers were shot through the air. It riddled th
Shortly after, the depths of Devil's Canyon began to churn with an oppressive atmosphere, as if death itself were emerging from within.At the entrance, representatives from twelve nations and an entire squad of armed soldiers wore expressions of grave concern. Cold sweats bead on their foreheads.The suffocating atmosphere was terrifying.It felt like a demonic god was about to step out from the canyon's depths.A deep sense of dread gripped everyone's hearts.Most were already so frightened that their legs turned to jelly, and their eyes were vacant as they unconsciously stepped back.However, Xayne, Ace, and Dragos stood firm against this intense pressure.Originally, Ace could not withstand it, given that he was only a Legend Warrior.Yet, the aura seeping from the canyon had reached the peak level of a Supreme Commander.Immediately, Xayne released his own aura to counteract the terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the canyon."Supreme Commander, I have a feeling
They all stood behind the formidable Emperor Kain as they seemingly revered him.There were thirteen warriors in total.Three warriors returning from the outer battlefields were from Newcroa. One was Emperor Kain, with the strength of a Senior Divine Commander, and the other two were at the peak of eternal commanders.The absence of any Bi-Divine Commander among the returnees left Orison somewhat disappointed.However, Orison was most pleased this time. None of the thirteen returning warriors were from Drakonia."Hahaha!"Orison could not help but laugh. He arrogantly glared at Xayne and shouted, "King of North, this time, none of the thirteen returning outer battlefield warriors are from Drakonia! You Drakonian are indeed useless! They're all dead on the battlefields!""Hahaha! I guessed right! Drakonia truly gets worse with each generation.""Now, the gap between Drakonia and us has widened by another five years! Who knows what kind of people they'll send to the battlefields
Laindon was a warrior returning from the Four Battlefields—a Supreme Eternal. Such warriors are typically a level above regular Eternal Commanders.However, Xayne's punch sent Laindon flying, shattering his entire arm.This scene shocked everyone to their core.The prince of the Fran Empire's eyes widened in disbelief as Laindon was sent flying. His eyes bulged like a pair of saucers.‘Impossible! How can this be?! What on earth just happened?!’"Laindon! What’s wrong with you?! Get up and kill him! Kill him! You are the pride of the Fran Empire. You were sent to the Four Battlefields using all of our resources! You can't lose! You can't disgrace the Fran Empire and the Queen!" The prince roared with his face twisted in rage.Representatives from the other ten nations watched closely.This was a colossal joke and a disgrace.Laindon quickly scrambled to his feet while clutching his shattered arm. His face filled with fury.He could not believe it. On the Four Battlefields, he
Everyone was stunned by what Xayne did.When the prince of the Fran Empire saw Xayne walking toward him, he started screaming and retreating in fear. He hid behind the soldiers, staring at Xayne in terror. "King of the North, what are you trying to do?"Xayne snorted coldly, stepping forward one step at a time, and said in a chilling voice, "Your Highness, there is an old saying in Drakonia, 'I won't offend those who didn't offend me.' Your Highness has repeatedly tried to kill me, so I won't let you go easily."With that, Xayne suddenly rushed forward, and the dozens of elite soldiers in front of him were all sent flying.Then, he grabbed the prince of the Fran Empire by the neck.Instantly, Xayne lifted the prince of the Fran Empire off the ground.At that moment, the prince's face turned red as he struggled, squeezing out words from his throat. "Fuck. Darned King of the North, let me go. Let go. You are offending the Fran Empire and the royal family."Xayne sneered, a glint o
Xayne frowned, his eyes flashing with immense battle intent as he looked at Emperor Kain. "Is that so? I want to have a go with a Divine Commander who has returned from the Four Battlefields."With that, Xayne stepped toward Emperor Kain.A dense shattering sound filled the air.The aura between the two completely shattered.The battle was about to begin.Emperor Kain's expression turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected that he would encounter such a foe who refused to back down right after returning from the Four Battlefields."You are seeking your death," Emperor Kain said coldly, each word dripping with overwhelming murderous intent.The tsunami-like aura from Emperor Kain and Xayne enveloped the entire canyon.Everyone was desperately running away from the area.They did not want to be caught up in this level of battle.This was a fight between Divine Commanders, and any mistake could lead to their being swept into the fray and become corpses.Soon, only Xayne and Em
The shockwave from the clash between Xayne and Emperor Kain blasted everyone standing on the slope of the canyon several dozen meters away.Fortunately, Ace and Dragos still had some strength to stabilize themselves.However, Ace staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.Dragos retreated two steps, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the dust and peering down at the two figures locked in a chaotic battle below.Orison, the other representatives from various countries, and the armed soldiers were swept away by the shockwave.The only ones remaining on the slope were the powerful beings who had returned from the Four Battlefields.At this moment, several of them cast icy glares toward Dragos and Ace, their eyes openly revealing murderous intent.Dragos frowned, his Celestial Commander aura erupting from his body.This made the watchful individuals frown and retract their auras.Everyone then looked toward the canyon."King of the North. I heard he appeared
Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w
"Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex
Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B
Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East
"Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead
"Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die
"Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen
"In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f
In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
