Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1894
After Hammond finished the call, he looked solemn and let out a deep breath. The Shadow Troops were a unit that had never been seen by the public, a force with no honor but only loyal to Drakonia. They operated in the darkest corners of the nation, performing the most dangerous tasks yet remaining unrecognized.They held the highest ideals and were ready to sacrifice their lives.Hammond sighed, seemingly reluctant. "The Shadow Troops. I truly regret this."Warren frowned and said, "It concerns the foundation of Drakonia. It's unavoidable. The Shadow Troops were established to die for the country. They are nameless heroes. Perhaps, decades from now, people will finally recognize their contributions. Their families don't know what they are doing now and may even resent them, but they will understand in time."Hammond shook his head without saying more.Soon, the four elders of Drakonia left the Drakonian Council for the Emperor's Pavillion under the escort of the Royal Guards.Mea

"You tell me, with all these achievements, is it not enough for the position of Grand Marshal?" Hammond shouted passionately, pointing at the old officials and vehemently defending the Emperor's decision."That's right. I, representing the Combat Division, am the first to support this decision." At this moment, the Combat Division's Grand General stepped forward, endorsing the Emperor's decree. "Xayne represents glory for Drakonia. If he turns against us, I will be the first to die in atonement."With the Grand General's support, the officials fell silent, unable to argue loudly, but continued to voice their concerns."Grand General, you are not Xayne. How do you know he won't become arrogant? The position of Grand Marshal is a significant one. The case of Xander is a perfect example.""Exactly. Xayne is still Xander's grandson and Xander's whereabouts remain unknown. Some say Xander was seen in the Northern Plains. If they join forces, will Drakonia change its surname to Xavier?"
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1896
The Emperor's imposing presence dominated the entire council hall, leaving every minister in the room silent and trembling with fear. They had just witnessed a terrifying display of power when a single glance from the Emperor caused one of them to drop dead on the spot. It was a stark reminder of the Emperor's once-legendary ferocity and ruthlessness. The qualities that had been overshadowed by the passage of time. The ministers had nearly forgotten how formidable their ruler had been during his ascent to the throne, and the recollection now sent shivers down their spines.The Emperor spoke as he scanned the room with a cold gaze, "Since the Ten Elders of the Wyncock have agreed, who among you dares to disagree?"The ministers, who were still kneeling on the ground, exchanged nervous glances but dared not utter a word of dissent. In unison, they responded, "We obey the Emperor's command."Just as the Emperor was about to issue his decree, a powerful figure suddenly entered the

The Emperor's face flushed with anger as he snarled, "Klink! Do you know who you're speaking to? How dare you command your Emperor?!"Klink quickly responded with a smile, "I wouldn't dare, Your Majesty. You misunderstand my intentions. I am merely thinking of the future of Drakonia. To put it plainly, Xayne is not qualified for the position of Grand Marshal! If Your Majesty insists on this appointment, then I will be forced to proceed with my own plans."The weight of Klink's words was undeniable—this was no longer just a debate about the Grand Marshal's position. It was a direct challenge to the Emperor's authority. Klink's intentions were clearly treacherous.Immediately, Warren, Hammond, the Four Elders of the Drakonian Council, and the Ten Elders of the combat division began to rebuke Klink."Master Klink! How dare you speak to the Emperor this way? This is beyond insolence—it's treason!""Klink! How dare you defy the Emperor's decree?!""Is the KB Kings Circle planning to r
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1898
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hammond responded promptly, then hesitated before asking, "But what about the KB Kings Circle? After today, it’s clear that Klink harbors treacherous intentions."The Emperor frowned as a fierce aura surrounded him. "As long as I am still the Emperor, he won’t dare to rebel!"Hammond nodded in agreement.At that moment, the War Department's general approached and said, "Your Majesty, there has been movement in the three new war zones. It’s highly likely that the KB Kings Circle is involved! I fear that even with the title of Grand Marshal, Xayne may not be able to command these war zones."The Emperor’s gaze turned cold and calculating. "I didn’t appoint Xayne to command the war zones. I did it to give him a title, to place the stakes on him. If Xayne fails, the title of Grand Marshal will be worthless. But if Xayne succeeds, then anyone or any faction opposing him will be branded as traitors! I'm giving them a choice—a test of loyalty—to see who they’ll place
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 1899
Xayne let out a cold snort and then yelled, "Hunt! I should have executed you myself back then! Now I'm warning you, move your troops out of my way, or I'll kill you first!""Hahaha!" Hunt laughed, He then sneered, "Xayne, you think you can kill me in this situation? I've got over forty thousand soldiers behind me. If you make a move, they'll open fire immediately! But… if you're willing to step down, kneel before me, and lick the dirt off my boots, I might let you keep your corpse intact."As he spoke, Hunt lifted his combat boots, revealing some dirt on the surface."Xayne, times have changed in Drakonia. We need to embrace the new power. If you stay stubborn, you won't escape death.""Enough!"Xayne's voice was cold as his hand shot forward. His military knife flashed like lightning. With a sickening thunk, it pierced through Hunt's chest and stomach in an instant.Hunt's eyes filled with terror. Even as he died, he could not believe Xayne would actually strike.With a heav

A group of men stormed into the command center, taking control within seconds. The commanding officer was slammed onto the table by the massive, six-foot-three man who had led the charge.The brute picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number, speaking with deep respect. "Dragon Commander, I've secured the command center!"On the other end, Dragos's voice was serious as he replied, "Excellent! Proceed with the mission!"After hanging up, Dragos's expression hardened. He turned to his subordinates and asked, "Where is Drakon King now?"One of the men quickly answered, "He's about fifty miles from the capital!""Gather all the men! We're going to meet the Drakon King!!" Dragos commanded."Yes, sir!"In an instant, nearly three hundred elite members of Dracarium assembled in the underground base and headed out to the city's gates to welcome the Drakon King.Meanwhile, within the capital, Klink was sitting in the main hall of a secluded manor. He coldly gazed at Drake standin

The Radiant Commander was a level of power that everyone aspired to reach—a state of being that would allow one to transcend their mortal limits, grasp the essence of the universe, and truly understand the foundations of this world."Radiant Commander?" Drake whispered the name of that fabled realm. Just saying it made him shiver uncontrollably as he was unable to fathom the idea. In his mind, the Quad-Divine Commander realm that Klink had reached was already an unattainable peak. But above that, there was still a realm of the Radiant Commander.All these years, Drake had never even heard of a Radiant Commander-level figure appearing. If those two ancient legends of Drakonia had truly ascended to that realm, it would be beyond extraordinary.Heaven Slayer and Earth Conqueror—the very names alone were enough to instill fear across the eight directions and all four seas.Meanwhile, ten miles outside the capital, Dragos and a group of elite Dracarium warriors were already waiting re

"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
