At the same time, embassies around the world received an official letter of apology from Quidie. The message was about the previous incident, which was merely a "little joke," and he had no intention of seizing the throne.The reaction abroad was explosive. Even General Mitchell Grand of the Newcroa Navy nearly choked in anger. His fleet of dozens of warships had sailed all the way to Drakonia's waters, ready for conflict but only for the matter to end in such anticlimax."Damn it! That old fox!" Mitchell cursed, snapping the pencil in his hand in frustration. Yet, aside from venting his anger, he had no choice but to initiate a retreat. Drakonia's navy was already rushing toward the area, and any delay would only lead to encirclement and annihilation.Within moments, the storm cloud of war dispersed, and peace resumed. Smaller nations in the south quickly followed suit, seeing both Bearonia and Newcroa back down. Each hastily sent apologies to Drakonia, pledging eternal submission

"You…" Klink was stunned. He hadn't expected the old man to threaten him so openly. Upon recalling Zenith's grim fate, he forcefully suppressed his anger. Once he merged with the Black Dragon Heart, he would have no reason to fear this old man. A wise man knew when to retreat. After comforting himself, He forced a smile and said, "Until we meet again, elder." With a dramatic wave of his sleeve, he turned and strode out of the hall.As he passed by Haqin, he shot him a meaningful look. However, Haqin's attention was on the old man, causing Klink to leave without a second thought."Are you Zeanid Yard? Master Zeanid?" Haqin asked, stepping forward as soon as Klink left.The old man cast a sidelong glance at Haqin and nodded. "Yes, I believe that was my name. It's been so long that I almost forgot. You look very much like your father."This sentence revealed the old man's identity, causing a flash of amazement in Haqin's eyes. Zeanid was alive and standing before him. Haqin felt equ

Serena Group's agreement with Ryan Pharmaceuticals had been smooth until the investment company suddenly announced it would withdraw all its funding. Not only was nearly 3 billion dollars pulled out, but the billion dollars previously invested by Bravo was also demanded back. In the wake of the recent contract with Ryan Pharmaceuticals, Serena had lined up suppliers and ordered thousands of tons of medicinal materials, which were now en route. But without funds, the company faced a stark reality. Aside from those materials, there was nothing left. The company had nowhere to obtain 3 billion dollars to pay back.The investment company issued an ultimatum, demanding repayment within three days, or it would take the matter to court. A clause buried in fine print stated that the investors could withdraw at any time and that Serena Group was obligated to return the funds within seven days. Realizing Bravo and Logan had set this trap from the start, Serena was devastated, yet it was too

"Young man, don't forget our agreement. I'll be waiting for you in Kulun," Zeanid said, giving the Emperor a slight bow before turning to Quidie. "Why are you still standing there? Come with me!"Although reluctant, Quidie could only follow obediently. Warren and Hammond also took the opportunity to bid farewell to the Emperor, giving their families a quick call to assure them. They then set off for Kulun, bringing along their young grandsons. Both knew about Zeanid's profound strength. If their grandsons could study under him, a bright future lay ahead.At that moment, Xayne addressed the Emperor, "Since the Dragonbreakers Legion has been reformed, I suggest reinstating Elias as the Grand General."The Emperor frowned. "Are you implying you don't want to return to the Northern Plains?" He misunderstood Xayne's intentions, thinking Xayne wished to stay away from the Northern Plains merely to support the imperial strategy. With the recent turmoil resolved, it seemed the ideal moment

A shadow flashed by with incredible speed, so swift that even Xayne struggled to keep up. Sefton, however, had been left far behind.The shadow was a Tri-Divine Commander.As he pursued, Xayne pondered who might pose such a threat to the Emperor. Whoever it was, their agility even surpassed his own.The shadow reached the outer wall of the Emperor's Pavillion and, without hesitation, vaulted over it. Xayne followed closely, determined not to let them out of his sight. But just as the shadow was about to breach the pavilion, six National Elders appeared, blocking its path."Who dares intrude the forbidden palace? What punishment do you think you deserve for this trespass?"The six great national elders surrounded the intruder in a flash, with Xayne arriving moments later. "Who dares to trespass the forbidden palace?""Esteemed elders, I am Yves Quill of the Black Ice Platform!" the shadowed figure declared, producing a black jade badge from his waist and holding it up for them to

With the return of foreign elites, various nations' armies now had several Divine Commanders within their ranks. They planned to eliminate Wyncock so that, in their next full-scale invasion of Drakonia, there would be no force strong enough to resist them."Exterminate Wyncock?" Xayne murmured, his brows frowning. On the surface, this sounded plausible, yet he couldn't quite believe it upon closer inspection. Wyncock of Drakonia represented a vast, complex landscape. Hundreds, if not thousands, of factions and circles dotted the country, each fiercely protective of its own. No one, especially a few small Eukrania nations, hopes to dismantle such an extensive network without inciting the full wrath of Wyncock.As he finished reviewing the intelligence report, Xayne's expression grew solemn. "I suspect they're using this as a decoy. Their target is likely specific individuals rather than the Wyncock.""Xayne, this intelligence is accurate. One of our top agents infiltrated their ranks

"Ms. Serena, how's that money coming along?" Bravo's smug voice sounded the moment Serena answered the call. At that moment, Serena Group was backed into a corner, with all banks cutting off their partnerships and the company's account balance reduced to mere pennies."Bravo, I trusted you when you were so eager to join as a shareholder. I welcomed you without hesitation. Now that Serena Group is facing financial difficulties, you choose to add insult to injury. Don't you think that's a bit unscrupulous?" Serena spoke with calm restraint, trying to contain her growing anger."Ms. Serena, I don't mean to make things harder, but I answer to our investors. They want their returns now. Seven billion dollars should be a manageable amount for a company like Serena. You’re in this situation due to the 30 billion owed to Logan. But if you like, I might be able to help with that if you'd be open to a small request from me," Bravo replied, pretending to be sympathetic."Speak," Serena replied

Flamey leered at Serena, his intentions unmistakable. At that moment, Serena realized the scheme, everything from the Ryan Pharmaceutical contract to Logan's demands, was all part of Flamey's elaborate trap. After all the twists and turns, she had fallen right into his clutches."Esmond, Jean, we're leaving!" Serena declared coldly, her voice steely with determination."Leave? Don't say I didn’t warn you; those 30 billion dollars must be paid within three days, or you’ll be in breach of contract and owe double that! If you sold it all, can Serena Group even fetch 60 billion dollars?" Flamey’s voice rang out mockingly.Serena hesitated, her body stiffening. After a brief pause, she turned back toward Flamey. "Even if Serena Group is no more, don’t think you can use this to threaten me!"Serena knew exactly what kind of man Flamey was. Negotiating with him was pointless."Well said!" Flamey clapped his hands, smirking as he rose from his seat. "You're Xayne's woman. Feisty! I’ll giv

"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
