"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

The situation took a dire turn as Logan joined forces, worsening the odds for Esmond. Facing all three of them, protecting Serena seemed nearly impossible. Even if Esmond could hold off Karlie and Roderick, no one could resist Logan's attack."What's your plan here? Guards!" Jean, unwilling to back down, shouted toward the door. Within moments, a dozen black-clad bodyguards armed with pistols rushed into the private room.For ordinary foes, these guards would have been more than sufficient, but Flamey and Logan merely laughed, their confidence unshaken. Logan took a step forward, his tone calm but laced with mockery. "These little ants. Give each of them a rocket launcher, and they'd still be powerless. Go ahead, have them shoot. Aim right here." He tapped his forehead, his grin widening.Logan didn't care about them at all. Even if it were a sniper rifle, it would be a foolish dream to want to hurt him."Do you think I dare not let them shoot?" Jean clenched his teeth.Unfazed, J

Flamey sneered, waving his hand dismissively at Logan's suggestion. "You think I'd stoop to killing him here? That would only be a joke to the Eastin family. Besides, if he doesn’t go, how will Xayne learn of this? Without him, the real game can't begin!"As Flamey finished speaking, he signaled to the two men at the door. Immediately, Karlie stepped forward, channeling a dark, cold energy toward Esmond. At the same time, Roderick swung a fist toward Esmond’s back.Esmond quickly retreated, drawing his sword to shield Serena behind him. His eyes blazed with anger. "Flamey! You disgraceful traitor!"But Esmond knew his strength was no match for two Quad-Divine Commanders. His injuries had not fully healed, and now he was up against three powerful foes. The victory was an impossible feat."A traitor? You should watch your tone with me. I might even show you a little mercy if you cooperate, but otherwise, you’ll regret it," Flamey mocked. He waved his hand. "Take them alive!"As Flam

The fighter jet was prepared and ready for takeoff within ten minutes. Xayne swiftly boarded, closed the hatch, and the aircraft shot down the runway. When Sefton arrived, the jet was already a speck in the sky. Watching the jet disappear, Sefton quickly messaged Draluna, informing her of Xayne's urgent return to Folksworth.Less than two hours later, Xayne landed at Folksworth Airport. Without wasting a second, he headed straight to Serena Group headquarters. In his office, Draluna and Jean were waiting for him."Draluna?" Xayne raised an eyebrow in mild surprise."Drakon King, the moment you left, Sefton informed me. Jean has briefed me on the situation, and Dracarium is already investigating. We expect to have a lead soon," Draluna replied. Since Folksworth was a Dracarium stronghold, tracking Flamey and his associates would be easy.Xayne nodded and then turned to Jean. "No news from Esmond?""Mr. Xayne, the opposition included multiple high-level fighters. Logan was no ordina

Roderick's brow twitched slightly, but after Karlie shook his head subtly, he grudgingly took a step back. His heart was filled with frustration and disgust. Working as Flamey's bodyguard was already humiliating enough, but now he was expected to assist in these despicable acts. It was infuriating. Although he and Karlie despised Xayne and wanted to uncover Yin-Yang Lord's whereabouts from him, the Light Order maintained principles, and bullying and taking advantage of the weak were strictly forbidden."Flamey, if she doesn't make it until Xayne arrives, your vengeance will only be half-fulfilled," Karlie interjected, hoping to dissuade him.Flamey glared at the dining knife in Serena's hand, gritting his teeth. "I know, damn it! Didn't you say you could handle anything? Then take that knife from her, now!"He had prepared for this moment, going so far as to take several pills to ensure he'd be ready. Now, with his desire raging, Serena just within reach but out of his grasp, he cou

"Drakon King, they're in a secluded estate near Miro Town, northwest of Folksworth! Our sources report two foreigners alongside Flamey and Logan. These two seem quite formidable," Draluna briefed Xayne after her call."Miro Town," Xayne repeated as a mental map of the Folksworth region immediately came to mind. The town was remote and impoverished, with fewer than three hundred families, and the estate itself was an old, long-abandoned mansion.After a brief pause, he turned to Draluna. "Flamey is prepared. None of you should come along and have all Dracarium personnel pull back.""Understood!" Draluna replied swiftly, sending a text message to withdraw their operatives.Xayne left the office alone, quickly setting out toward Miro Town in an off-road vehicle. By the time he arrived, the night had fallen, the sky thick with clouds that flickered with the occasional flash of lightning. Amidst rolling thunder, a light rain began to fall. Parking on the deserted main street of the town

A fierce gust shot toward Xayne's back. He spun instantly, evading the short blade and reaching to grab the attacker's wrist.Another flash of cold light aimed for his throat. Xayne swiftly stepped back, barely touching the ground with his toes, before he propelled himself into the air.His airborne kick struck his assailant's chest dead on, sending the man flying backward, his short knife clattering to the floor."Xayne! Today is the day you die!" As the shout echoed, the room was suddenly flooded with light, revealing two more figures stepping forward."Xayne, you're as impressive as ever but you're too young to understand formations like this. So, tell us where the Golden Dragon's Heart is and where the Yin-Yang Lord is," Karlie sneered, stepping toward him.Xayne ignored the question. His eyes flashed coldly. "I do not understand what you're talking about. Where are Serena and Esmond?""So, you're playing dumb?" Roderick laughed mockingly. "This building is rigged with the Bl

"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
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

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
