"What do you mean?" Xayne frowned, unsure of what Rhaega meant. "Lexter is dead. Do you know this, King of the North?" Rhaega spoke in a low voice while driving. What? How did Lexter die? When did this happen?!" Those words hit Xayne like a thunderbolt. "Lexter... dead?! What about Warren and Hammond?! " Just a day ago, he had left the capital with Lexter and others. At that time, Lexter had even invited him to visit his hometown someday. 'It can't be an eternal farewell,' Xayne thought to himself. "On his way back home, the plane crashed. But here's the strange part—the entire plane had only eight passengers. Whether it was an accident or deliberate... well, the answer seems obvious. "I've secretly sent people to protect Warren and Hammond, but... whether they'll stay safe, I can't say. At this moment, you cannot afford any mistakes, Xayne. Otherwise, everything will come crashing down." Rhaega's tone grew heavier with each word. It was clear to anyone with ha

At the same time, in the Bullard residence, Lowes and more than a dozen key members of the Bullard family stood respectfully in two rows in the hall. From the bathroom on the third floor, the sound of a woman's cries echoed, wave after wave, filling the silence. Yet Lowes and the rest of the Bullard family members kept their eyes down, stood straight, and fixed their expressions in place. After about half an hour, the sounds subsided, and after another five minutes, Hyenka descended from the third floor, wearing a robe and radiating satisfaction. "Master!" The Bullard family members greeted him as Hyenka nodded slightly, sitting down on the central chair in the hall. He looked at the group and asked, "The three-month period has passed. What news of that brat, Xayne?" Upon hearing Hyenka's question, Lowes immediately stepped forward. "Master, Xayne recently had a dispute with the new Emperor. In his anger, he resigned from his post, returned his seal of office, and left Drak
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2059
Lowes furrowed slightly. He was not sure if it was appropriate to take the lead at such a sensitive moment. "Join forces? Do you even know the true background of that Locke fellow? Our Bullard family doesn't need to get involved in such struggles. We simply need to make sure the world knows of our power. As for the rest, it's irrelevant." Hyenka had no intention of helping the Emperor, and helping Hilton was out of the question. What Hyenka needed was an opportunity to elevate the Bullard family's prominence to new heights. Ever since the demise of the Xavier family, no other household had managed to fill the vacuum left by their fall. Now was the perfect moment for the Bullard family to rise from the shadows and claim that position. Lowes's eyes twinkled as he nodded, understanding Hyenka's strategy. "You're right, Master! I'll see to it immediately." With a slight nod from Hyenka, Lowes swiftly exited the room and turned to his attendants. "Contact all the major media outlets

"News?" Xayne frowned slightly, shaking his head. "What happened?" After all, there had been no wars recently in Drakonia, and nothing noteworthy was going on in Drakonix either. For that reason, Xayne had been fully focused on studying the Heavenly Tome. After yesterday’s battle, his cultivation level had greatly improved. Last night, he had spent the entire evening meditating in his study, reflecting on a powerful technique he had learned during the fight. Though Esmond had not executed the move effectively, Xayne had modified it to increase its potency, and the results pleased him. "Bullard family has issued a public challenge across all the major TV stations. Reportedly, it’s Bullard family patriarch, Hyenka, challenging you!" Draluna’s voice came through the phone, sounding indignant. The challenge itself wasn’t the issue, but the Bullard family’s arrogant tone was over the top. "Alright, I understand," Xayne replied casually and hung up the phone. "Huh?" Draluna sta

20 years of seclusion was nothing. He could train for 50 years and still wouldn't be a match for Esmond. It was best to use Xayne to restore his confidence."It seems like you're not scared of him at all but more like..." Xayne hesitated, then continued, "like a hungry fox staring at a chicken after starving for three days."Though the comparison was a bit crude, it was spot on.Esmond tried to warn Xayne to be careful, but the glint in his eyes gave off the vibe that he wanted nothing more than to bite Hyenka."I have a small request. Can you let me take the lead in the fight? Let me at least contribute a bit to the effort. If I lose, you can step in. It won't be too late," said Esmond.The more Esmond spoke, the clearer it became to Xayne that his earlier guess had been right.Esmond came here with this exact plan.Xayne squinted at him and said, "Let me guess. You came here because you wanted to take him down yourself, didn't you?""You're so sharp, my lord," Esmond said wit

"Exactly. And that's only if I'm at my best. Otherwise, I won't even have a twenty percent chance," Esmond said earnestly.Only those who had faced Klink truly understood how terrifying he was.Xander was the only one who had ever been able to intimidate Klink.Aside from him, no one in Drakonia could last more than three moves against Klink.As for those ancient recluses hidden away in the mountains. Those old monsters were not included in this list."Is there such a huge gap between Divine Commanders?" Xayne asked, frowning."A massive one," Esmond replied, his expression serious. "That's why the Divine Commander realm is a turning point. Some people will never take another step forward in their lives, while others will break through quickly and enter the Radiant Commander realm," Esmond said solemnly.If Xayne's goal was to defeat Klink, he would have no chance until he reached at least the Quad-Divine Commander realm.There were conditions for fighting someone stronger.

At this moment, in a small herbal shop, Lisa sat in front of her computer, her face pale with anger. Her hands trembled as she furiously typed on the keyboard."These idiots! You're all unreasonable!"As she typed, her lips kept moving, mumbling complaints."King of the North has done so much for Drakonia. Forget the distant past, just look at the recent attack from the Five Nations. Without him, would you all still be able to go online right now?""Yeah, where was your precious Bullard family master when we were under attack? Why didn't he show up to defend the country?""You people are just ungrateful!"More and more supporters of Xayne started pushing back online.However, their voices were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming flood of troll comments paid for by the Bullard family."If Xayne is so capable, why doesn't he accept the challenge? If he's so brave, let him fight! What does this prove? It proves he's a coward, that he's scared!""Yeah, if he's scared, then he

Flamey bowed slightly, casting a cautious glance around at the people in the room.Seeing his discomfort, Lowes waved his hand, and the attendants quickly exited. Only then did Flamey lower his voice, saying, "Lowes, I’ve come bearing a significant gift for you."As he spoke, Flamey pulled out a set of documents from his briefcase and handed them over. Lowes glanced at the papers, which were filled with tables and figures, frowning slightly. "Flamey, what is this all about?"The Bullard family had long since moved past ordinary business ventures. With their power and financial backing, they could enter any industry they desired. To them, no company was worth their attention, no matter how lucrative, were like dirt beneath their feet."This is a pharmaceutical company based in Folksworth. Its owner is Xayne," Flamey explained. "You might not be aware, but this company holds the power to set all the medical standards across Drakonia."At this revelation, Lowes’s expression changed,

"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

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
