The three children were the descendants of Warren and Hammond, entrusted to Xayne for protection."Your Majesty," Xayne said, glancing at the children with a hint of hesitation. "It is crucial for Drakonia that we expose Hilton's background and root out the forces behind him. However, these children are innocent, and we can't let the lineages of the esteemed elders be wiped out."Looking around, Xayne realized that the Emperor's Pavillion was the safest place for the children. While he had considered relocating Warren and Hammond's families to Folksworth, the danger in doing so outweighed the benefits. Folksworth could become a battlefield. If anything were to happen there, he would never forgive himself.The Emperor nodded, his gaze settling on the children. "So, these are Warren and Hammond's grandchildren?""Yes. Before I arrived, I eliminated a man named Rory, as well as a figure who had been missing for years, Vinny."This was Xayne's primary reason for coming today.The Emp

After a further secret discussion with the Emperor, Xayne boarded the helicopter alone. Dracarium would be fully mobilized to capture and dismantle the forces behind Hilton. Therefore, Xayne needed to head to Dracarium's headquarters and coordinate the plan in detail.Meanwhile, Dragos stayed in Drakonix to safeguard the Emperor, marking the beginning of the final confrontation. An invisible net had already been cast wide, though Hilton remained unaware, awaiting Albert's response.After a long while, Albert emerged from a hidden chamber, his face dark as he cast a cold glance at Hilton. "The circle master intends to advance the plan. Can the Imperial Guards carry out this mission?"Without a second thought, Hilton nodded confidently. "Of course. The Imperial Guards have long been under my control and are ready to sacrifice themselves for the circle master at any moment."Albert paced with his hands behind his back. "In three days, the circle master will arrive in Drakonix. During

"Drakon King, getting into Hilton's home is no easy task. We've observed that just the overt guards are no less than ten Celestial Dracarium Commanders or above. And I suspect that there are also Divine Commanders hiding in the shadows," Draluna reported.Bribing Hilton's household was almost impossible. For experts of such caliber, money was no enticement. They could amass vast wealth if they wished, and betraying Hilton for any reason other than loyalty was even more far-fetched."Then, intercept his calls around the clock. Report any updates to me immediately," Xayne commanded.Since monitoring was impossible, extraordinary means had to be utilized.Although intercepting Hilton's mobile phone through radio waves consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources, it was worth it for the safety of Drakonia."Understood, we'll monitor his every move starting tonight," Draluna assured him."Have there been any movement in the major military theaters?" Xayne paced, hands be

In Drakonix, the ten elders of the Combat Division gathered once again in the secret chamber of the Emperor's Pavillion. This marked the first time all ten had been called together since the new Emperor had ascended the throne."Emperor, the Dragonbreakers Legion has been largely disbanded. Now, fewer than fifty thousand remain stationed at Northern Plains. Meanwhile, the northern nations are showing signs of restlessness, and the situation is growing more precarious," one of the elders, a white-haired man, frowned and said.Although many things shouldn't have happened in Drakonia since the new emperor took the throne, the Emperor was aware of the challenges since taking the throne and knew that while many things in the country could fall into disorder, the borders and the military must remain unshaken. Thus, the commanding power of each military theater had been firmly held by the ten elders of the Combat Division.Although the Drakonian Council was now under Hilton's influence, it

"Master Albert!" Hilton hurried to greet Albert with a respectful bow and personally pulled over a chair for him.Albert sat down impassively and said, "The Lord was originally set to arrive in Drakonix three days from now, but plans have changed. Tonight, you will join me in welcoming him!"Hilton felt his brows twitch slightly. This was earlier than expected. Drakonix was prepared for this, but he did not even have time to finalize matters with the garrison commanders. The Lord’s sudden arrival caught him off guard."Master Albert, does this mean the Lord intends to act immediately?" Hilton asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.Albert nodded with a slight, knowing smile. It was the element of surprise, striking, while no one was expecting it. In the guise of peace, few would anticipate a bold entry into the Emperor’s Pavilion to demand relinquishment. It was a brilliant move, though also a dangerous one."What, are you afraid?" Albert as he gazed with scrutiny at Hilton. "

The elder tightened his fingers slightly, and the two jade-like walnuts he held were crushed to powder instantly.Albert stepped forward and asked, "Lord, should we proceed to the Emperor's Pavilion tonight?"The elder shook his head slightly. "It's not time yet. We must wait for a monumental piece of news to reach Drakonix first," he replied as he slowly rose to his feet.The aura surrounding the elder was powerful and awe-inspiring, a commanding presence that conveyed an almost regal authority. Hilton began recounting recent events to the elder, who nodded approvingly as he listened. "Killing Hammond and his associates was a risky move," the elder said. "But given the current situation, I won't hold it against you. Three days from now, it will be our time to strike. This is our only chance. Success or failure rests on this!""Yes!" Hilton responded with a firm nod. The elder motioned for him to leave, and Hilton bowed and exited the room. Albert then continued in a confidential

Bram squinted and pondered for a moment before standing up. "It seems I'll have to rely on this old face of mine and test my luck once more. You two, come with me," he commanded. After giving his two sons a stern look, he instructed the butler to prepare the car as he was going to meet Serena.In Folksworth's old circles, Bram held an almost unassailable status. This was not because the Shaw family's business was especially large but due to Bram's deep connections with the region's three powerful circles. Years ago, he had helped the leader of Valiant Rose Circle survive a difficult time, a favor that was never forgotten. When Heaven's Feather Circle leader was still an unknown entity, Bram had provided substantial support, which that leader remembered fondly when he eventually rose to power. Furthermore, the head of Cyano Peak, the largest sect near Folksworth, was Bram's sworn benefactor.So, despite stepping back from the business world, few in Folksworth dared to disrespect

Serena calculated for a moment, then shook her head. There was no need to summon Master Esmond now.After all, if these people came to her company, it would likely make peace and not harm the people meeting them."No need, Evelyn. Take them to the conference room. I'll be right there," she instructed with a smile.Once Evelyn left, Serena organized the documents on her desk, selecting some financial statements from smaller firms and their submitted property contracts."Mr. Jean, these companies aren't very valuable. Besides, they were coerced. I think we should return these properties to them," she suggested."For the remaining six, find someone to reach out. Sell what we can, and for the unsellable assets, we'll manage them ourselves," she continued.Jean gave a slight nod, accepting the stack of folders from Serena's hands.Too many assets can sometimes be more of a burden than a benefit.The Bullard family had hoped to boost their influence with a showdown against Xayne.

"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
