Chapter 457
Author: Blanco Burn
Maximillian’s statement caused the atmosphere in the grand hall to grow tense. Each family member looked outraged and determined.

Maximilian’s younger brother said, “Don’t be sad, Kimberly. With your father and uncle’s support, no one will lay a finger on our family. None can harm our family’s bloodline and live to tell the tale.

“Even Kenneth, Harold, and Linford can’t withstand our family’s fury." Brennan, the second elder of the Yowes, was a well-known figure in the province. All the underground tycoons of the Yostow province were pawns nurtured by Brennan.

While Maximillian was a prominent figure on the surface, Brennan was the most revered figure among the underground forces of the province’s nine cities. People often called him Big Bren, the Yostow province’s overlord.

Brennan's every move and word represented the will of all the underground powers. None of the underground tycoons dared to oppose him. He even resolved many matters his family couldn’t handle on the surface.

    Maximillian nodded to the suggestion, then frowned. "That's not enough. Move one-fifth of the family's wealth and launch an assault on Venzor’s major enterprises and stock market. I want those secret figures to know what awaits them when they cross my family!""Okay, Mr. Maximilian. I'll handle it right away." The middle-aged man stood up promptly. Following that, Maximillian turned and looked at Brennan, saying, "Issue orders to the underground forces to make ample preparations. We're in a tough battle this time and can't afford to be complacent. After all, we're dealing with all of Venzor, not just an enterprise.""Rest assured, Maximilian. I'll notify them immediately," Brennan said, already retrieving his phone.Then, Maximillian stood with hands behind his back and gazed at the entrance. He turned to an elderly man at his side, saying, "Uncle, you have numerous connections within the system. You should have some dealings with people in Venzor as well.“I need you to use your

    The Yowes stood up in surprise, looking toward the figures at the door. Leading the way was Xayne, and behind him were the other Drakarium Warriors. The eight figures disrupted the atmosphere.The Yowes’ enforcers entered from all directions, their fierce gazes on Xayne and his group. Maximilian rose to his feet and looked at the figures at the door.Maximilian sneered, “You must be Xayne. You’ve got balls to barge into my family’s villa with only a handful of people. Don’t you know that my family is the wealthiest in the Yostow province?”The various Yowe family members looked at Xayne and his companions disdainfully.“We never expected you to meet your doom personally. Hahaha! You saved us a lot of trouble finding you.”“Kimberly, we will make Tristan and Andre’s killer kneel before their graves and atone with his life.”"Hmph, how arrogant of you to show up here! You’re seeking death by intruding upon the villa!"The Yowes smirked with contempt for Xayne and his group. The Yo

    Kimberly did not deny Xayne’s claims. Instead, she declared, “That's right, I did! It's a shame I failed to kill your wife and daughter in that crash."Xayne frowned as his rage consumed him. His aura left the Yowes family dumbfounded. 'What a terrifying presence! How can he exude such an overwhelming aura?'Xayne’s intensity was beyond belief. Maximillian and Brennan, accustomed to grand spectacles, found themselves in an unprecedented murderous intent emanating from a young man. ‘This is bad! Was our information wrong? Is he more than just a good-for-nothing?’Maximillian and Brennan exchanged concerned glances.The now frightened Kimberly stammered, "W-What do you want? Don’t forget where you are! If you act recklessly here, it's over for you!"She panicked at Xayne’s fearsome presence. His aura resembled the most furious storm imaginable.Xayne roared furiously, "Do you know what Tristian and Andre did? Tristian caused a car accident that almost killed my daughter. Then,

    The aura emanating from Xayne left the members of the Yowe family stunned. Xayne even spoke boldly as the family exchanged puzzled glances.Initially, Maximilian was shocked but then burst into laughter. “Hahaha! I’ve roamed Yostow for decades but never encountered anyone as bold and clueless as you. Yostow is nothing without my family. I’d like to see how you erase my family from this land.”“What an arrogant young man! Our family can wipe you out with a snap of a finger!”“Hahaha! What an amusing young man. Who does he think he is? Even the Supreme Black Dragon visits us whenever he’s in Yostow. Does that young man think he’s more formidable than the Supreme Black Dragon?”“How ridiculous. The Supreme Black Dragon is a mighty figure beyond that kid’s imagination.”The Yowes sneered and mocked Xayne, but he remained silent as he turned to leave with the Dracarium Warriors. However, the Yowes’ henchmen surrounded them.Maximilian waved and said through gritted teeth, “Let them go

    ‘The Northern Plains might flatten Yostow province,’ Deuce thought.The coldness in Xayne’s eyes intensified as he continued, “Visit Lieutenant Noel at Clovelly and inform him that the Northern Plains’ Supreme Commander expects none of his subordinates to retaliate. If a single soldier steps out of line, I will regard it as defiance against the Northern plains.”“Yes, sir!” Deuce replied.Soon after, several cars dashed away from the Yowes’ residence, returning to their temporary hotel.Over ten minutes later, the Yostow’s nine major cities, prominent families, enterprises, and governing institutions received a strange phone call.“You must all sever dealings and cooperations with the Yowes in one day. We will obliterate the Yowes from the Yostow province. Those defiant will face severe consequences. Do not say we did not warn you!”Boom!The phone call shook the nine cities. Immediately after, central business chambers, alliances, and underground forces convened urgent meetings

    Brennan took a drag from his cigar, saying, "That’s what I've been worried about. The information we gathered on Xayne doesn't add up."Maximillian fell silent, his eyes gleaming coldly. He declared, "Investigate Xayne immediately! We must uncover his true identity!""I've already told someone to do it. We should have news shortly," Brennan said with a slight smile.Soon after, a subordinate knocked on the door and entered. The man held a document and said, "Mr. Maximillian, Mr. Brennan, this is an urgent message from Shalholm."Brennan took the document, opened it, and scanned it. Suddenly, all his cheerfulness vanished. He stood up with widened eyes as he stared at the document’s contents in shock. He exclaimed, “How can this be? He’s…”Maximilian snatched the document from Brennan. Soon, the former’s expression turned grim. He said, “Our initial information was incorrect! No one expected him to be a former Northern Plains soldier. How intriguing!“Someone from the Lennings was

    Xayne continued, “Get a thousand troops to surround the hotel. I also want five thousand men to encircle Clovelly’s seven major underground forces. Kill anyone who refuses to surrender. Tell the remaining troops to surround the Yowes’ residence.”“Yes, sir!” Deuce responded.As over a thousand armed thugs surrounded the hotel, a black Bentley appeared at the hotel's entrance. Brendan exited the car, emanating a cold aura. After all, he was the head honcho of the underground forces."Big Bren!" A thunderous roar sounded in front of the hotel. Everyone raised their machetes and steel rods, looking at Brennan with reverence.Brennan glanced at the eager fighters behind him, smiled, and bellowed, "Men! Capture Xayne and the others for me!""Yes, sir!"Over a dozen imposing fighters brandishing their weapons barged into the hotel. However, several figures plummeted from the top floor ten minutes later. They shattered glass and crashed to the ground.Thud! Thud, thud!These men died

    The thugs were stunned as they exchanged puzzled glances. Their eyes widened when they saw the two figures at the hotel’s entrance. The thugs gasped, wondering what was happening.They noticed one of the men wearing a Drakonian army uniform with blue and gold patterns under his black robe. It was a uniform the commanders wore in parades. It was terrifying.The thugs were dumbfounded and frightened. They felt a chill run down their spines as they stared at an unbelievable scene.‘Are those two from the Drakonix Military?!’Brennan was flabbergasted. He became wide-eyed, and his breath quickened.Meanwhile, Xayne remained rooted at the hotel entrance in his Drakonian army uniform.“W-Who are you?! How do you have that uniform?” Brennan panicked as his forehead dripped with sweat. The uniform alone could intimidate the thugs. Still, Brennan would not surrender. After all, the Yowes had two commanders, with the lowest being a Legend Warrior.Deuce stood behind Xayne, also in his mil

    "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

    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

    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
