Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2015
A silver flash streaked across the night sky.With a swift motion, Xayne extended his arm, curling his fingers just so. A round object rose from the pit below, soaring into his palm. It was Danier's severed head.Even in death, Danier's remaining right eye was wide open, a final testament to his shock, and not a drop of blood had yet spilled.The last vestiges of courage shattered among the invading soldiers. Both Celestial Dracarium Commanders had fallen.They didn't know what else to do. They had already tried everything."Run!"A voice cried out, and panic spread like wildfire. Soldiers dropped their weapons and scattered in every direction, desperate to escape, not even wanting to carry a single bullet that could weigh them down.Xayne tossed a burning flare, igniting a blaze atop the city wall."It's the Supreme Commander's signal. Follow me." Red Rose was the first to break through the trees, racing downhill toward the fort."Charge!""Kill them!"The pent-up fury of t

"Commander! The citizens of the city..."Hours after the battle, the Dragonbreakers Legion had fully taken the city and cleared the battlefield. With a heavy heart, Red Rose approached Xayne with a trembling voice and bowed deeply.Jina Pass, home to 76,000 civilians, was now a wasteland of death. When the Dragonbreakers Legion reclaimed it, the city was littered with corpses, blood running like rivers. There was not a single survivor.Not one of the 200,000 Dragonbreakers soldiers wore a look of victory. Instead, their faces bore the marks of unspeakable grief and anger. For decades, Drakonia had not witnessed such a devastating blow where cities were destroyed and its people slaughtered.Because of their earlier defeat, countless civilians had been massacred. The soldiers wept openly, their tears mixing with the bloodstained earth."Commander, we deserve death for this failure!"Every soldier knelt in unison, their hands gripping their rifles so tightly that the sound of fists

"Those animals!" Hammond ground his teeth, forcing the words through clenched jaws. His eyes glinted coldly as he glanced at the intelligence officer. "Leave. This massacre at Jina Pass is to remain classified. Anyone who dares leak the details will face military justice.""Yes, sir!" The officer quickly turned and left the hall.In Drakonia, the people of the north and south were often intertwined by family ties. Even within a single household, relatives could be separated by thousands of miles. Though Jina Pass was home to only a few tens of thousands, there was no way to ensure that none of them had relatives in Drakonix.Even though Xayne had turned the tide, the armies of Barnie Pass still loomed, and Drakonix remained under the constant threat of invasion by the five allied nations. Thus, maintaining stability among the people was paramount.After deep consideration, Hammond decided he had no choice but to report the matter to the Emperor in the Emperor's Pavilion. Like the m
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2018
Hammond took a deep breath as he suppressed the rage. Without saying another word, he turned and left the Emperor's Pavilion. Behind him, Hilton watched with a hint of smugness, then turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, with Xayne having taken Jina Pass, should we begin preparations to relocate the capital?"The Emperor frowned slightly and looked back at Hilton. "Relocate the capital? Why? Xayne has already secured a victory. Why would we need to move?"If Xayne had suffered a defeat, relocating the capital would be necessary. After all, Drakonix had no more natural defences left, and the enemy could potentially overrun them at any moment. However, Xayne's capture of Jina Pass meant that the enemy would likely need to redirect forces to reinforce the area. Even though Jina Pass didn't hold the same strategic value as Barnie Pass, it was now a thorn in the path of the Five Nations, something they could not afford to ignore."But if the enemy makes a desperate push, I f
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2019
No one knew that Xayne led the army, personally beheading two Celestial Dracarium Commanders and reclaiming Jina Pass.The night passed without incident.At dawn the next morning, 200,000 Dragonbreakers Legion soldiers stood ready to move out.After using Xayne's specially made medicine for sword wounds, the injuries of Ace and his men had greatly improved.Except for Trey, whose injuries were too severe to move, the others could at least walk, though with some effort."Ace, take care of yourselves and protect Trey. Your most important task now is to heal so you can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when the final battle comes!" Xayne spoke to Ace and the others before departing."Commander, we can still fight!""Yeah, these small wounds are nothing!""Let us take up arms and kill the enemy like everyone else!"Ace and the others pleaded to join the battle.The sight of innocent civilians slaughtered in Jina Pass filled them with rage.Xayne shook his head. "I've already tol

Late into the night, Tamarind was completely drunk. Half of the roasted lamb was still hanging over the fire, and a few of his personal guards were lazily yawning beside him."Commander, it’s getting chilly out. Let’s get you back to the tent to rest!" One of his guards stepped forward, helping Tamarind up.Tamarind barely opened his drunken eyes, yawning and nodding. "Alright, back... back to the tent! You guys can have the rest of the lamb... and the wine too!"With that, two of his guards escorted Tamarind into his command tent.Meanwhile, up on the walls of Wyne Pass, only a handful of soldiers yawned as they lazily patrolled.In their minds, the war would never reach them this soon.If the Dragonbreakers Legion had taken Jina Pass, the next logical target would be Sangan Pass, not the more isolated Wyne Pass.Even the commander had not issued any orders to tighten security, so the soldiers became even more relaxed.As the night deepened, everything remained eerily calm. So
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2021
The moment Tamarind laid eyes on Xayne, a chill ran down his spine.Two years ago, he had faced Xayne in battle, and the old wound on his left shoulder still had not healed.Seeing that face again filled Tamarind with a sense of dread.'What now?!'He was the only Celestial Dracarium Commander in Wyne Pass, and thus, there was no one to back him up. Alone against Xayne, he had no chance.He barely survived two years ago, but that was because he had four others fighting alongside him to corner Xayne."Commander... we..."Before his guard could finish speaking, Tamarind did something that stunned everyone.He tossed aside his Scarab spear, dropped to his knees with a thud, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "We surrender!"'Sur...surrender?!'Tamarind's voice thundered through the camp, reaching every corner.Many soldiers stood frozen as they stared in disbelief. Their commander surrendered without even fighting.As the soldiers began to lower their weapons, Xayne's cold v

Tamarind's shocked in disbelief as he watched Xayne slowly approaching. His body had already stopped responding.Everything before him was growing dim."Xayne... Xayne, you..."He could not believe it. His weapon was of the highest grade, and it couldn't have been broken.There was only one explanation. Xayne had ascended to a higher level, one that was far beyond his reach.Tamarind's body collapsed to the ground. His personal guards, seeing their commander fall, scattered in all directions.The Dragonbreakers Legion soldiers who had stormed the camp chased them for a short while but soon halted to clear the battlefield rather than continue the pursuit.The fleeing allied soldiers ran far before realizing no one was following. That realization finally relieved them.Gathering themselves under the command of two battle-hardened generals, they headed for the north gate.Just as they exited, ambushes sprang up from all sides.With a single charge, the remaining 30,000 allied so

"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
Chapter 2687
"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
Chapter 2683
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
