At that moment, dozens of warships appeared on the waters off the coast of the East Bank Sea, cutting through the waves as they advanced toward Drakonia's waters."General Rhaega, we have a sudden appearance of multiple Newcroa warships within our defense zone! What should we do? Do we engage immediately?" An East Yoskea Military Theater officer pointed anxiously at the radar screen filled with numerous red blips.Rhaega clasped his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth. Ten minutes earlier, he received a call from Xayne, instructing him to monitor the East Bank Sea carefully. 'Could it be…'"General Rhaega, they've deployed an entire fleet. Our currently available warships are less than half!" the officer reminded him worriedly.Rhaega frowned deeply. This wasn't just a matter of insufficient manpower. Any overly aggressive action on their part could lead to irreversible consequences."Quickly, report this to the combat division and request further instructions from

It was a shame that Xayne had renounced his badge, vowing that any future battles Drakonia faces had nothing to do with him. Aside from Xayne, no other person dared to shoulder this responsibility."Outrageous!" Before the Emperor could speak, Hilton turned, glared at the officer, and snapped, "Are you suggesting that the Emperor is incompetent?!""Emperor! I… I meant no such thing. I'm just stating the facts—if we don't bring Xayne back, no one may be capable of handling this situation!""Guards!" Upon seeing the officer persist, Hilton shouted to the security detail stationed outside the chamber.Over twenty armed guards surged in, swiftly escorting the officer out of the room.As everyone exchanged shocked glances, gunshots echoed from outside, leaving the assembly breathless. Hilton took the law into his own hands, asserting his authority through the Emperor's name."H-Hilton, what…what are you doing?!" An elderly senator was trembling with horror and pointed at Hilton as his

Since Quidie lost his opportunity for the throne years ago, he had been off the radar ever since. Back then, in Drakonia, his influence and reputation were second only to the former Emperor himself.Among the gathered officials, many were once loyal to Quidie. At that moment, all of them raised their fists in respect and, with unified voices, shouted, "King Quidie!"Seeing Quidie enter, the Emperor felt a heaviness settle in his chest.If the one present for the throne had been someone else, even someone like Klink, he might still have a fighting chance. With the support of the senior from the combat division and high-ranking officials, he could likely fend off an attack.But this was Quidie. Not only would no official dare to interfere, but even the senior advisors and military elites would hesitate to take sides.Caught off guard, the Emperor slowly rose, sizing up to Quidie. "So, it's you!"Quidie sneered as his gaze swept over the Emperor, and he responded coldly, "Why should

Outside the hall, two elder statesmen, Hammond and Warren, arrived just in time.Earlier, their grandsons had been brought to the Emperor's Pavilion. Not wanting to separate the families, the Emperor had arranged for Hammond and Warren to be brought in secret as well.Since early morning, there was a strange tension in the Emperor's Pavilion—regiment after regiment of security forces had marched in. Upon sensing something major, Sefton disguised himself as a guard to monitor the situation closely and warned Hammond and Warren to stay put. However, the two elders, ignoring his caution, sought out information. That was when they learned the shocking news. Quidie was challenging the Emperor right here in the Emperor's Pavilion.Braving themselves, the elders stepped forward and shouted at Quidie, "You're shameless!"Quidie eyed Hammond and Warren coldly. "You two should value what little time you have left," he said. Both men were once senior advisors, but today, with no titles or

"Do it!" Quidie commanded coldly to the guards.Several guards raised their iron rods, preparing to shatter Hammond's legs.As the officials in the hall averted their gazes, a dull sound rang out. A Ravenclaw Dagger pierced through the chests of two guards, dropping their iron rods. The corpses fell, and without missing a beat, the dagger spun toward Quidie."How dare you?!" Quidie deflected the blade with a flick of his wrist, retreating several steps.Quidie whipped around, demanding, "Who is it? Show yourself!"The Divine Commander possessed the ability to control objects. Whoever this was, they had to be less than a hundred meters away—any further, and it would have been impossible to silently kill the guards."It's me."Xayne pushed open the grand doors of the Emperor's Pavilion and strode in. His hand stretched out to retrieve the Ravenclaw Dagger. Behind him, Draluna scanned the room. After seeing the four Quad-Divine Commanders, she stiffened. This was worse than anticip

"Fool!" An explosive roar thundered through the hall, reverberating like a blast from the heavens. Everyone's ears rang painfully, with some older ministers bleeding from their eardrums. It was the voice of Klink, the leader of KB Kings Circle.Xayne turned, surprised to see Klink standing outside the hall, accompanied by Haqin and the four elders of KB Kings Circle.Quidie squinted. He did not bother about others, but Klink got his attention."Who would have thought," Haqin sneered, "that after all these years, I'd meet you again, King Quidie."Even Xayne was taken aback by the sudden arrival. It turned out that both KB Kings Circle and Haqin had been closely watching the unfolding events in Drakonix. Owen's death had stirred Haqin's suspicions. He knew the late Emperor had been wise, unlikely to select such a reckless successor.Thus, spies from the Healers Valley had been monitoring Drakonix round-the-clock, sending secret reports to Haqin. Meanwhile, Klink had coveted the thro

The Emperor's Pavilion descended into utter chaos. Hammond and Warren seized the opportunity, shielding the Emperor as they slowly retreated toward the rear chamber.Xayne, however, found himself ensnared in a fierce struggle against three adversaries. He might have stood a chance had he not been severely injured earlier. Now, after barely two minutes of combat, his vision blurred as waves of nausea and surging blood clouded his senses. He gritted his teeth, knowing that today would be his final stand if his old wounds flared up. Yet he resolved to fight on, bloodshed be damned, to ensure the Emperor's escape.A muffled crash sounded from outside the hall as Ilshat's body was flung back like a cannonball, crashing to the ground. Klink cast a disdainful glance at the corpse, scoffing before stepping into the hall. His eyes gleamed with bloodlust. He would take down Quidie, laying the groundwork for his ascent to power.Akhil rushed forward to block him, but he was leagues beneath K
Xayne Xavier, The Ironclad Protector Chapter 2176
"Fate truly is mysterious!" Quidie scoffed, a hint of smugness creeping into his voice. "Who would have thought? The same fortune that once protected the royal family has now shielded me in my moment of need!"With a disdainful glance, he sneered at Klink, "Do you see, Klink? This is the difference between royal blood and a mere commoner like you! Though I may not be the Emperor, I carry the bloodline of the old royal family with fortune on my side. You can't harm me so easily!"Klink gritted his teeth, stunned. Thank heavens he had not openly defied the Emperor that day; otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain indeed.Meanwhile, Xayne was cornered and pushed to the brink by Zenith and Topias. Exhausted and nearly broken, he was barely holding on. Even Klink was considering retreat. If Quidie had been truly protected by such fortune, he would not have been an easy target. Hammond and Warren sighed, defeated. Even with Klink and Haqin here, the tide was unlikely to turn.

"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
