Lany looked down at the gaping wound in his chest where the Crimson Drakon Spear had pierced through, his eyes wide with disbelief, blood streaming from his mouth.'How can this be? I'm a Tri-Divine Commander. How can I be defeated by a mere junior?'Xayne withdrew the spear, pulling it out of Lany's chest with a gush of blood.With a thud, Lany collapsed onto the ground, his head bowed, his white hair fluttering in the wind.The square was now in ruins, looking as though it had been hit by a barrage of bombs. Not a single piece of ground was untouched.Around them, the crowd that had been thrown by the earlier shockwaves scrambled to their feet, some of them injured.Upon witnessing the scene at the center of the square, their faces were filled with horror.It was terrifying.It was beyond belief.The level of destruction was inhuman.Xayne lowered his gaze, looking at the kneeling Lany. Coldly, he said, "A Tri-Divine Commander isn't much to brag about."Lany, weakened, gas

Ritchie quickly arrived at the estate, standing respectfully in the living room.Xayne had just put Serena to bed and came downstairs. Seeing Ritchie standing in the living room, he casually asked, "Is everything taken care of?"Ritchie slightly bowed. "Commander Xayne, it’s all handled."Xayne nodded, gesturing for Ritchie to sit. He poured a cup of tea for him and said with a faint smile, "Don’t call me Commander Xayne anymore. I’m no longer the commander. I'm just an ordinary citizen now."Ritchie stood up immediately, saying, "No, Commander Xayne. You will always be the Grand Marshal of Drakonia in my heart."Xayne shook his head with a sigh. "Sit down. I need you to do something for me.""Commander Xayne, please instruct," Ritchie said as he resumed his seat."Arrange for some people to keep watch around the estate and the company," Xayne said.Ritchie nodded. "Understood. I’ll take care of it."With that, Ritchie got up and left the estate.Xayne remained in the living

The sight of Cyrus kneeling stunned many of the elders from the main branch of the Eastin family.They frowned as they looked at Cyrus kneeling on the floor.At this moment, an elder walked in through the side door and came to Cyrus. He helped him up and said, "Cyrus, what is this? Get up. Whatever the issue is, speak to me. The Eastin family will stand by you."Cyrus, with tears in his eyes, motioned for Matthew to uncover the white cloth, revealing the gruesome bodies of Maple and Lany.Instantly, shock and horror spread across the faces of the Eastin family elders and the elder who stood before Cyrus.Maple was dead.Even more terrifying, Lany was dead too.He was the strongest guardian of the Eastin family's Ace branch.They didn't know what had happened."What is going on?" the elder asked coldly.He was, of course, the head of the Eastin family.Cyrus replied, "Mr. Crawford, I beg you to uphold justice for the Ace branch. My grandson was brutally murdered in Folksworth

Cyrus's face darkened as he shook his head. "I don't. Is the other party of significant status?"Crawford nodded and said, "He is the King of the North, also known as Xayne Xavier, who was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Drakonia by the late Emperor. Even though the new Emperor has secretly stripped him of his position as the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains and Grand Marshal, he is still not someone we should provoke lightly."Moreover, with the new Emperor sharpening his knives against the big four, any action we take now might provoke unnecessary trouble."It wasn't that Crawford was afraid, but the current political climate demanded caution. The big four were all shrinking back, reluctant to make a move, as the new Emperor's authority loomed ominously.Hearing this, Cyrus and Matthew felt a sinking sensation in their hearts."Mr. Crawford, are we just going to let this go? Will Maple's death go unavenged?"Cyrus was in tears.The elders were silent.Crawford frowned a

The next day, Xayne accompanied Serena to her company. As soon as they arrived, Serena began her busy day at work.Xayne had nothing to do and decided to stay in the office, playing with his phone and reading international news. However, when he came across a report about international military news, his expression tensed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.The report detailed that on the Northern Plains border, a coalition of five countries had gathered, with two hundred thousand troops engaged in joint military exercises. Behind this, Newcroa and nine other countries were providing significant support and even dispatching their air force units to participate.Upon seeing this news, Xayne's concern deepened. His intuition told him that this five-nation military exercise was anything but straightforward. It was highly likely that news of his resignation had leaked, and this joint exercise was a way to probe Northern Plains and Drakonix's responses.The response from Drakonix was

Royce, standing behind Violet, angrily chimed in, "Yes, we need an explanation."Xayne's face darkened as he clasped his hands behind his back and said coldly, "If you have something to say, do it properly. With this attitude, I don't mind having you both thrown out."Violet, despite her anger, was intimidated by Xayne's stern demeanor and refrained from escalating the situation. "Royce's company is on the verge of collapse."Serena's face was full of confusion. "Mom, how could that be? Serena Group invested two million dollars. It hasn't been long, how can it be failing so soon? Didn't I give you several cooperation projects last week? Those projects had profits in the hundreds of thousands."Violet's frustration flared as she pointed at Serena. "It's because of your projects that Royce's company is failing. The bosses of those projects ran away with the money. Now, Royce's company has to deal with other contractors and clients who have ordered medicinal materials. "Serena, are

"Healers Valley?" Xayne's frown deepened.His past with Healers Valley had been relatively smooth. Furthermore, the late Emperor had attempted to mediate between them, so it seemed unlikely they would act against him secretly."Alright, I understand," Xayne said, ending the call with a grim expression.Seeing Xayne's troubled look, Violet quickly asked, "Xayne, how is it? Will things be resolved? Will Royce end up in jail?"Xayne glanced at Violet and replied, "You should go back for now. I will handle this.""Really? That's good to hear," Violet said, pulling Royce away from the office quickly.Once they had left, Xayne turned his attention to the window, contemplating the motives behind Healers Valley's actions."Honey, is the situation with the people behind this quite challenging?" Serena asked softly, noticing Xayne's distress.Xayne shook his head. "It's not that it's difficult to resolve, but I'm puzzled about why they would target Royce's company at this time. What can

Hammond sighed and explained, "Yes, Healers Valley is not as peaceful as you might think. There are three factions within the Valley: the radicals, the moderates, and the conservatives. "The radicals advocate for expanding the Valley's power and influence, creating companies and acquiring pharmaceutical enterprises. They even have connections with some pharmaceutical sects. "The conservatives, on the other hand, believe in maintaining the status quo, focusing on research and alchemy. The moderates, while not as influential, balance the power dynamics within the Valley."Having understood this, Xayne realized that Serena Group's rapid expansion had affected the interests of the radical faction in Folksworth's pharmaceutical market. Additionally, Serena Group's plans to open new branches in other provinces and even overseas markets would undoubtedly disrupt Healers Valley's territory.In other words, this incident was a warning from the radical faction within Healers Valley.Under

"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

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

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
