The Jade Pass, the outermost gate of Drakonia, was a desolate and forsaken area. Dust swirled endlessly, and remnants of shattered walls and ruins bore witness to fierce battles from a distant past. The scars on the crumbling walls told stories of epic confrontations and heroic struggles.Amidst the swirling yellow dust, a figure in a grey cloak moved across the barren landscape at this moment. Each step seemed to cover hundreds of meters as if the distance were nothing.Such a figure on this vast loess had a frightening aura. The figure's chilling aura gradually lowered the temperature from scorching heat to icy cold.Soon, the figure appeared beneath the towering ruins of the Jade Pass. The high, dilapidated walls stood as a testament to Drakonia's outermost defense.The cloaked figure, his tattered cloak fluttering in the hot wind, looked up to reveal a gaunt, aged face. His eyes were cloudy, and his lips twisted into a sinister grin.With a chilling laugh, he gazed at Jade Pas
The steady and formidable presence was overwhelming.Along with the imposing aura, the voice filled Harry with intense fear."Harry, I could have expelled you from Jade Pass with a single sword strike twenty years ago. Today, I can do it again."As the voice echoed, a figure appeared beneath the half-wall. It was an old man with gray hair and a solemn face, his eyes filled with a chaotic energy that seemed to ebb and flow.He was clad in pristine white robes, and behind him were three swords. One of them had already been drawn and was slanted in the yellow dust before him.The old man drew his sword and, with his gaze fixed, coldly stared at Harry. He declared, "Today, anyone who invades Drakonia's territory during the Grand Ceremony of Drakonia, regardless of their strength or status, will be killed."With his declaration, the old man's killing intent soared. The aura of a Bi-Divine Commander erupted completely.Harry’s eyes widened as he trembled. He clutched his severed arm,
Harry lay on the loess outside Jade Pass. A Senior Divine Commander was killed by two swords.He hadn’t even had a chance to resist.At this moment, the Sword Saint stood proudly at the Jade Pass, observing Harry’s corpse lying in a pool of blood. His eyes were clear, and he sheathed the Man Sword and Earth Sword. The Sword Saint exhaled a mouthful of blood as the two swords had nearly exhausted all his energy.Using the Earth Sword drained his vital essence, but with the Grand Ceremony of Drakonia underway, he could not afford a prolonged battle and needed a swift resolution. Hence, he had used both swords together, expending his vital energy to kill Harry.Under normal circumstances, he would have fought a hundred exchanges. Today, it was different.After Harry’s death, the Sword Saint gazed north. There lay the northernmost gate of Drakonia, with three crucial gateways—Jade Dragon Pass, Northern Guard Pass, and Monarch Pass.Monarch Pass, which had been a crucial part of D
Even miles away, Jade Dragon Pass and Northern Guard Pass were shaken by the violent aura ravaging Monarch Pass."This is bad. Two Senior Divine Commanders have appeared at Monarch Pass. The Fourth Elder is in danger.""Resolve the battles quickly. Head to Monarch Pass to assist the Fourth Elder."The two Divine Commanders of Drakonia stationed at Jade Dragon Pass and Northern Guard Pass unleashed their full power, engaging in even fiercer battles with their foreign counterparts.However, as the battles progressed, they became increasingly intense.With equal strength, both Senior Divine Commanders, deciding the victor was exceedingly difficult. Moreover, the foreign Divine Commanders at Jade Dragon Pass and Northern Guard Pass seemed intent on stalling, deliberately dragging out the fight.At Jade Dragon Pass, the foreign Divine Commander, enveloped in a gray toxic mist, poisoned everything within hundreds of meters. Plants, animals, and insects perished instantly upon contact w
The two foreign Senior Divine Commanders, looking at the suddenly appeared figure in white, sneered coldly."Heh, little girl, do you know who we are? Coming to guard the national gate so recklessly is tantamount to courting death."Black Fiend glared with icy eyes at the figure in white.White Fiend added with a chilling smile, "It seems Drakonia is so desperate that they need a woman to guard the gate. This battle will end with the annihilation of Drakonia. The Demon King's Hall will return to Drakonia. Heh heh. Little girl, if you don't want to die, get out of the way. Otherwise, you will die a miserable death."With that, both Fiends' auras surged again, their Senior Divine Commander powers sweeping Monarch Pass.The figure in white waved her sword, sending out a blinding sword light, and declared, "I fight for my husband and guard the national gate. Death is of no concern. Monarch Pass will not allow you two to even step through."With that, she slashed her sword toward the
What they didn't expect was that the woman in white, instead of showing any fear, stepped forward and said, "If you do not retreat, then die. This is the land of the Northern Plains guarded by my husband. He should guard the national gate. Since he is not here, I will guard it in his place. Any trespassers will be killed."On the side, the Fourth Elder's face was in shock.This woman was the wife of the King of the North, Serena.She was supposed to be at the Legend Warrior level. Somehow, she was now a Senior Divine Commander.Before he could fully process this, Serena charged at the two Fiends with her sword.There was no trace of fear, no hint of hesitation.Life and death were already irrelevant.For her husband and to guard the national gate, even death was inconsequential.The next moment, a thunderous battle erupted outside Monarch Pass. Killing intent swept across dozens of miles, and the sword's energy surged.The two Fiends were caught entirely off guard by the woman
At the same time, Xayne, Dragg and a few others were at Newcroa’s battlefield. They led over three hundred elite kickboxers from Drakonia’s Wyncock and some of the strongest warriors from the Dracarium. They were now concealed near a military base belonging to the nine nations of Newcroa.The entire base was fortified with a hundred thousand fully armed soldiers, armoured vehicles, and hundreds of fighter jets.Xayne, Dragg, and the others were hidden in the nearby mountains. They watched over the military base with cold, determined expressions.Upon glancing at the time, Xayne exchanged a look with Dragg before roaring, "Attack!"In an instant, over three hundred Wyncock elites and Dracarium warriors shot out of the forest. They were charging downward, roaring as they stormed toward the hundred-thousand-strong army.At that moment, the battle erupted, and the sky lit up with blazing flames.These kickboxers tore through the military base as unstoppable forces, crashing through
With those words, one of the men flashed a sinister grin and suddenly lunged at Xayne.A cold gleam flickered from the man's hand, and a dagger appeared out of nowhere, radiating a bone-chilling killing intent as it slashed directly toward Xayne's throat.Xayne was shocked.The opponent was too fast.He quickly dodged and avoided the strike. The man followed up with a series of rapid stabs aimed at Xayne's chest, abdomen, and neck.Each attack was ruthless and relentless.In a flash, Xayne's Ravenclaw Dagger came out. It clashed directly with the incoming dagger of the Four Battlefields warrior. The impact produced a sharp, clear sound, sending bright sparks flying.At the same time, the Four Battlefields warrior staggered back several steps, shaking his slightly numb arm, before sneering, "Interesting. You've never been to the Four Battlefields or undergone its trials, yet you possess such power. Impressive! "No wonder Emperor Kain warned us not to underestimate you and advis
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
