"Then, why did Mapen say his pass could get me in?" Xayne frowned."Mr. Xayne, Mapen's pass would only grant you access to the first level. Even my pass can only get someone to the second level. The pyramid has seven levels in total. Our passes only allow access to the outer sections," Castro explained, his voice steady.Xayne's expression shifted slightly as he processed the explanation. After a moment of contemplation, Xayne asked, "What if I force my way in?""That's not possible. I've heard of your reputation, Mr. Xayne, but aren't you worried about the Master of Human Realm? It's said that among the High Priests, there's someone in that realm. For centuries, no one has dared to breach the inner sanctum of the pyramid, and for good reason," Castro said, shaking his head earnestly.The phrase piqued Xayne's curiosity. Castro thought it referred to a person, but Xayne understood it as a legendary level of power, a realm of mastery he knew only from stories.Xayne couldn't believ

"You wouldn't drink when I offered, and now you're gulping it down when I didn't?" The young man sneered, raising another bottle to strike Gordon again.The bottle never reached its target. Spartan caught the bottle in mid-air.The young man blinked in shock, sizing up Spartan with contempt. "Who the hell are you? Do you even know who I am?"Before Spartan could answer, Xayne stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Gordon. "You were part of Dragonbreakers Legion. Once a soldier, always a soldier.""Stand tall, like a man," Xayne continued firmly."Yes, sir!" Gordon swallowed hard, but his eyes darted nervously. He couldn't fight back. Although his boss knew that his son was not up to the task, and one wrong move would undo everything Gordon had worked for."It seems you've forgotten how to fight," Xayne remarked coldly. Without warning, he delivered a sharp slap to the young man's face.The young man flew backward, spinning before crashing to the ground."How dare you hit me?" His v

Yzil and the others watched Xayne's group leave the hotel, their hearts sinking regretfully. This had been their golden opportunity to prove themselves and build a legacy. Yet, their initial arrogance and underestimation of Xayne had cost them everything.Outside the Hotel Delta, Xayne, Aava, and Gordon made their way to Gordon’s modest rental apartment in Carollan.As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Living a life of bleeding on the edge of a knife every day, Gordon had to be more careful."Supreme Commander, this place is my safe house. No one else knows about it. Please, you and Miss Aava can stay here while I contact my subordinate. I am no longer in the previous company. I don't know if he can still..." Gordon explained nervously. He knew how fragile loyalty could be when power dynamics shifted.Now that he was in trouble again, it was hard to say whether his subordinates would respect him. Not to mention calling, it might not work even if they were to meet

Gordon asked an earnest question."Yes. Come in, but we might need to wait a bit. He's busy with his rituals," the young man explained, leading Xayne's group into the courtyard.The small courtyard resembled a traditional Drakonia courtyard layout but had walls made of sun-baked mud bricks. From one of the rooms, a faint light flickered, accompanied by rhythmic chanting.Xayne listened closely. The chants were ancient, possibly incantations or spells, suggesting the old man was conducting a mysterious ritual."Please, have some fruit," the young man offered, placing a basket on the table. He handed oranges to Xayne and Aava.In Egenda, fruits were a luxury. Given the arid environment, most fruits had to be imported, making them expensive. This gesture underscored Gordon's significance to the young man.As they sat, Gordon asked, "Does your grandpa do this every day?" He gestured toward the dimly lit room."No, only on the 16th day of the seventh lunar month. And today just happe

Aava frowned as she asked, "Excuse me, sir, but isn't Hades, the god of death...?""It's the underworld god," Xayne interjected sharply before she could finish.In Egenda, referring to Hades as the "god of death" was considered deeply disrespectful.According to legend, Hades was the ruler of the underworld, and the ancient Egendaians believed themselves to be descendants of Hades and the goddess of spring, reverently addressing him as the underworld god.The elderly man nodded approvingly at Xayne's correction. "Precisely. In fact, there is a pyramid situated at the center, and that pyramid is the Temple of Hades.""However," he continued with a meaningful pause, "if the person you're searching for is in that pyramid, I'm afraid you're out of luck."In today's world, no one can take anything or anyone—out of that pyramid. And I mean anything." Xayne's breath hitched.The elder's gaze seemed to stretch into infinity, his eyes carrying a trace of reverence that sent chills down

The old man looked toward the gate, fixing his gaze on Janko. "My identity is none of your concern! And these three fireballs—what's the meaning of this?"It was clear the old man was not buying into Janko's intimidation. As one of the priests, there was no doubt why he would be scared."Nothing much," Janko sneered. "Since you're a priest, it's best we stay out of each other's way. The Pharaoh's era is long gone, and I'm sure you priests wouldn't want to be enemies of the state. Hand over that man!" He pointed at Xayne with a voice laced with malice.Just as Xayne had anticipated, Janko was a petty man who never let a grudge slip."You've crossed Janko?" the old man turned his head, a mix of curiosity and disbelief on his face as he looked at Xayne.He knew Janko all too well. No ordinary person would offend someone like him. Meeting him even once was a near impossibility."We've had a small conflict, sir. I think it's best if we—"Before Xayne could finish, the old man interru

"Break!" Xayne said in a calm and steady voice.Before the two fireballs could even approach him, they disintegrated into embers, scattering harmlessly into the air.At that moment, Xayne's aura surged to an overwhelming intensity. He no longer resembled a mere mortal. Within mere breaths, his immense pressure caused beads of sweat to form on Janko's forehead.'He's a Quad-Divine Commander. This can't be real. Xayne is supposed to be an ordinary man. How can this be possible?'But now, nothing mattered. It was far too late.Janko’s heart sank. Xayne's level far outstripped his own, and his methods were leagues more refined.Quad-Divine Commanders from Drakonia were no ordinary warriors. Each one was a living legend. Forget the mythical figures like Klink, even someone like Haqin was a towering existence.Drakonia itself was shrouded in mystery, its greatness beyond comprehension. Legends claimed that all kickboxing originated there, and what the rest of the world practiced was j

"It was not fire. It was an illusionary formation designed to trap him in his own mind. In his subconscious, he believes he's been burned to ash by a raging fire," Xayne said calmly.Thando glanced down at Janko, then reached out to check his breathing.As Xayne said, Janko’s breathing was normal. Not a single injury marked his body.Yet, his eyes were devoid of any light, lifeless and hollow, as if his very soul had been extinguished.Such an intricate illusionary formation was impossible without the Golden Dragon’s Heart. It was no wonder why the Yin-Yang Lord had coveted it so deeply."The mysteries of the ancient East... they're far beyond what we can fathom," Thando muttered in awe.He leaned on his cane and slowly made his way back to the courtyard.Xayne turned to the group and gestured with his hand. "Let’s go. Pretend he never came here tonight." He was referring to Janko, lying lifelessly on the ground.Thando and Aava could not help but steal one last glance at the l

"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
