Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1835
The wealthy young woman from Xayne's past was indeed Faye.Even though she was only eighteen then, Xayne recognized her immediately after all these years. He remembered her well from that time, noting her rebellious attitude and frequent conflicts with him during the rescue mission."Are you sure you don't recognize her?" Serena asked, noticing Xayne's pained expression. She found his reaction amusing.Xayne gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know her. I don't follow entertainment news, and I barely know any celebrities in the country. Since she's been abroad, I wouldn't have known her."On stage, Charles had a beaming smile as he spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, this heavyweight guest has just returned from abroad. Her presence here will have a significant impact on Folksworth's pharmaceutical industry. She has promised to invest ten billion dollars into Folksworth's pharmaceutical development."The crowd erupted in astonishment.Ten billion dollars was an unprecedented investmen

It was Faye Lockwood.The crowd below could hardly contain their excitement.An international superstar at just twenty-two where, she had achieved what many could only dream of.She was nicknamed "Little Star." Faye was a darling of the world. She became a child star at seven, and her career skyrocketed from there. By turning eighteen, she graced the cover of Time Magazine, becoming one of the most celebrated female celebrities.Anyone who dug a little deeper would discover the true power behind Faye—she hailed from the Lockwood family of Drakonix.The Lockwood family was a towering presence. They are among the top three families, just below the nation's four hidden clans.There was a legendary force behind the Lockwood family, living in the shadow of the Healers Valley.As soon as Faye stepped into the hall, every eye was instantly drawn to her."She's so beautiful!"This was the unanimous first impression of everyone. Even Serena could not help but sincerely admire her. "S

Serena was slightly stunned. 'Why is this superstar, freshly returned from abroad, going out of her way to be so friendly?'This did not make sense, and it left Serena feeling suspicious.Still, since the other party was cordial, Serena could not afford to embarrass herself. She nodded slightly, her voice soft and her smile polite. "Hello, and welcome to Folksworth."Faye stole a glance at Xayne, who deliberately avoided her gaze as he pretended to be interested in something else. Her smile widened. "I heard before coming here that Serena Pharmaceutical Group is one of the top players in Folksworth's pharmaceutical industry. If possible, I'd love to have a deeper conversation with you, Ms. Serena."Her words were a clear declaration of partnership.The crowd around them was shocked, some even jealous.From the moment Faye stepped off the stage, she had not spoken to anyone, only offering brief nods and smiles, until she walked right up to Serena. That action alone spoke vol

Xander's eyes gleamed, though his gaze was cloudy with age. He sighed deeply, then stepped out of the living room. Standing outside, he tilted his head back to gaze at the star-studded sky. "Xayne," he began, "Do you believe there are dragons in this world?""What?! Dragons in this world?!"Xayne was stunned as his pupils dilated in shock. The weight of those four words hit him hard.Dragons in this world.The significance of such an idea was beyond extraordinary.Dragons—these creatures were shrouded in mystery. Modern science did not acknowledge their existence.Sure, there were countless legends, and some claimed to have seen dragons, but those stories always faded into obscurity.After all, such a creature was mysterious and fantastical. Proving their existence could overturn many established beliefs and rules.Yet, at this moment, Xander's words stirred a different speculation in Xayne's mind."Grandpa, do dragons exist?" Xayne asked, his voice tense.Xander brought hi
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1839
Xander nodded as his voice was low and solemn. "The Red Dragon rules over death and healing. The Black Dragon, the master of war. The White Dragon, ruler of life and death.The Gold Dragon, master of formations. The Silver Dragon, lord of weapons. These are the five ancient dragons, the ancestors of the dragon race." His gaze grew distant as if peering through the veils of time.Xayne listened, his heart pounding in his chest. "What happened to these five dragons?" Xayne asked.Xander shook his head. "They vanished long ago, lost in the tides of history. The Red Dragon's heart within you was obtained by the Hanwan through a rare twist of fate. As for the other four dragon hearts, they are scattered across the world, either in the hands of powerful individuals and factions or still hidden, yet to be discovered."Legend has it that only by gathering all five dragon hearts can one unlock the gate to the dragon race and unravel the secrets that have been buried for millennia. It's eve
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1840
Upon hearing those words, Xayne could not help but draw a sharp breath.'Grandpa, just how powerful are you? He faced two possible Numen Commanders, exchanged blows, and walked away unscathed.'"When did this happen?" Xayne asked.Xander replied, "It was during the battle at the Northern Plains. It was the day I went to rescue you. If I'm not mistaken, those two were likely after the Red Dragon's heart that Hanwan possessed."Upon hearing this, Xayne fell silent.'They were after the Red Dragon's heart? Does that mean I am already being watched?'Upon seeing the worry overwhelm Xayne, Xander chuckled and gently patted his shoulder. "Grandson, don't worry. With me here, no one will dare lay a finger on you. This world operates by its own rules. Radiant Commander's warriors rarely interfere in worldly matters, let alone those in the Numen Commander. If they act, it would be as if the mountains were crumbling. So, they're unlikely to act recklessly. Even knowing that the Red Drago

At that moment, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number.As soon as he picked up, a seductive female voice greeted him. "Xayne, do you remember me?"Xayne frowned while thinking momentarily before responding, "Faye?""Looks like you haven’t forgotten." Faye's voice teased from the other end."What do you want?" Xayne asked coldly."Nothing much. I just wanted to have a chat," she replied."We don’t have anything to talk about," Xayne said with his tone indifferent."Really? What if I told you it’s about Serena?"Upon hearing that, Xayne's expression hardened. "Give me the address."Faye chuckled softly. "I like how direct you are. The Kempinski Hotel, Suite 888."Xayne ended the call, taking a deep breath.'What is Faye planning?!'...Half an hour later, Xayne stood at the door of Suite 888 on the top floor of the Kempinski Hotel. He rubbed his chin as he hesitated briefly before pressing the doorbell.For some reason, Xayne could not shake the feeling that w

Faye trembled as she caught sight of Xayne's icy glare. She suddenly realized she might have pushed things too far.Alone in this suite with him, she wondered if provoking him could lead to her undoing."I'm just curious," she said, trying to steady her voice and squaring her shoulders. "Why would a man like you stay by Serena's side?"Xayne's eyes locked onto hers, searching for any hint of her true intentions."This is the first and last time," he said coldly. "Let’s get serious. You’re not just a businesswoman. What’s your real reason for cozying up to Serena?""Naturally, it's the pharmaceutical market in Folksworth," Faye replied, her smile fading."The Lockwood family’s overseas market isn’t enough? Why come to Folksworth?" Xayne’s eyes narrowed."Honestly, I find it boring too, but my grandfather sent me here to check things out, so here I am," she said calmly."Your grandfather?" Xayne muttered, recalling what Serena had mentioned earlier about the Lockwood family’s pos

"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
