Chapter 56
Author: Blanco Burn
The eyes of the Swifts sparkled upon seeing the five invitation cards.

These invitations were like golden tickets, granting access to the highly anticipated welcome party organized by the esteemed military headquarters of Venzor. It was an exclusive affair, reserved for the crème de la crème of society. What made it even more thrilling was the fact that the event would be graciously hosted by none other than Lieutenant Haith himself. This alone was enough to make everyone absolutely desperate to attend.

But that wasn't all. The icing on the cake was the expected presence of the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains. His esteemed appearance transformed the event from a mere welcoming party into something far more significant.

The prospect of catching a glimpse of the Supreme Commander sent countless people into a frenzy, as they brainstormed and schemed to secure a chance. Until now, they could only see him through the television news, and even then, he never revealed his face.

    The entire living hall fell silent.Everyone looked at Xayne curiously, followed by a burst of loud laughter."What? What did he just say? A truckload of invitations?""Xayne, would it kill you to stop bragging? You're just making a fool out of yourself!""Unbelievable! Why would Serena bring home such a big-mouthed idiot? It's hilarious!"Vivian scoffed and chimed in, "Oh my, did I hear that correctly? Violet, are you sure this is your son-in-law? He just said that he could deliver a truckload of invitations to you. Why don't you ask your wonderful son-in-law to do that right now to open our eyes?"Vivian was amused. She had never seen such an idiotic person before!'Did he lose his mind after going to the military service for five years?'Why does he like to lie so much?'Sophia laughed while leaning back and forth, holding her stomach as she said, "Serena, is this your good husband? Why does he look so much like just some idiot to me?"Eric snorted and said in an angry ton

    Serena was emotionally fragile, constantly preoccupied with what her family thought of her. But now, thanks to Xayne, every member of the Swift family had mercilessly ridiculed them, leaving her utterly despondent.Xayne stood frozen, stunned by the profound impact his thoughtless words and actions had on Serena. Kneeling down before her, he placed both hands on her shoulders and spoke with a grave expression. "Serena, do you trust me? I wasn't lying about delivering those invitations!"Upon hearing this, Serena raised her tear-filled eyes, her face a pitiful sight that tugged at the heartstrings. Blinking her curious eyes, she asked, "Are you serious?"Xayne nodded earnestly, assuring her, "Absolutely! I can guarantee it! They've always belittled you, haven't they? Those invitation cards are nothing—I can get as many as they want! And for tomorrow's welcoming party, I am actually..." Xayne could no longer conceal the truth. He yearned to reveal to Serena that there was no challen

    Xayne abruptly ended the call, leaving the room enveloped in an eerie silence. All eyes turned toward him, captivated by the intensity in his voice and the frigid glare in his eyes. They couldn't help but question the truth behind his words.In response, Royce rose to his feet, pointing an accusatory finger at Xayne. "What the hell were you thinking? Who were you even talking to? Trying to impress someone here?" He stormed forward, snatching the phone from Xayne's hand and callously hurling it to the ground. With a crushing stomp, the device was reduced to irreparable pieces.Witnessing the destruction, Xayne furrowed his brows tightly, his fists clenching in anger. In his eyes, Royce had just signed his own death warrant.Yet, Serena swiftly intervened, grasping Xayne's arm and subtly shaking her head, urging him to restrain himself.After venting his frustration, Royce sneered, tauntingly challenging Xayne, "Well, let's see what you're really made of! Can't believe you'd say some

    Eric said in a cold voice, "Hey! What's the rush about? You're embarrassing me! What's the matter?"The butler's face looked extremely pale as he said, "Mr. Swift Sr., this is bad! There's a military vehicle from the military headquarters of Venzor parked outside! H-he says he's here to deliver the invitations!"Boom!Suddenly, the entire living hall fell into dead silence!Everyone was shocked as they looked at each other in disbelief!'What's going on?! A military vehicle from the headquarters is outside the Swift residence?''Th-This is unbelievable! More importantly, it's here to deliver the invitation cards!'Everyone took a deep breath as they froze in place. None of them dared to make a sound!The butler's forehead was covered in cold sweat as the stood there, not knowing what to say at all."M-Mr. Swift Sr.?" He could not help but speak.Eric recollected himself and asked with a nervous expression, "What did you say? Invitations?"The butler immediately nodded and sa

    "Ah? Y-yes, Mr. Swift Sr., I'm on it!"The butler's face went pale with shock, causing him to hastily turn around and rush toward a small courtyard where Xayne and Serena were currently residing.Although referred to as a courtyard, it was merely a diminutive space measuring around sixty to seventy square feet. Once used to house the Swift family's dogs, Sophia had deliberately repurposed the area as a cottage solely to humiliate Serena and her kin.However, Serena and Xayne remained unruffled by such circumstances, engrossed in playing gleefully with Coco within the cottage. Their joyous laughter reverberated throughout the entire cottage.Panting heavily, the butler stood at the door and spoke, "X-Xayne, Mr. Swift Sr. requests your return... to receive the invitations..."With Coco perched on his shoulders, Xayne responded with an icy demeanor, "Tell him that unless they personally come and ask me, I won't go!"He was Xayne Xavier, the Supreme Commander of Northern Plains respe

    Keith's ultimatum left the Swift family with no other options. Despite his age, Eric's mind remained as sharp as ever, instantly grasping the course of action they needed to take."Quick, let's find Xayne!" He turned on his heels, guiding his family toward the cottage where Serena and Xayne resided, leaning on his cane.As they arrived, they spotted Xayne instructing Coco in self-defense techniques.Serena, busy tidying up the cottage, was taken aback by their sudden appearance. Assuming they had come to reprimand them for the earlier incident, she hastily set down her tools and rushed toward Eric, bowing apologetically. "Grandpa, I'm so sorry. It was Xayne's fault for saying those things. Please forgive him."Eric dared not offend Xayne in any way. After all, the man was a close associate of Lieutenant Haith. Their family could ill afford to antagonize such an influential figure.Hence, Eric gently pushed Serena aside and hurried over to Xayne. "Xayne, quickly go and retrieve the

    Ethan's entire body trembled as he heard Xayne's chilling laughter, a feeling that defied description. It was as if Xayne resided on a plane of existence so far beyond Ethan's reach, it seemed futile to even aspire to it.Yet, that sensation quickly dissipated when Xayne disregarded him entirely, seizing Serena's arm and departing from the premises."Fuck you! Who the hell do you think you are?" Ethan cursed, seething with anger. Then, he exchanged a few words with Eric before making his exit.The Swift family members exchanged bewildered glances, their minds clouded with confusion. In hushed tones, they whispered among themselves, attempting to unravel the enigma of Xayne's connection to Lieutenant Haith. The shock of it all left them utterly flabbergasted."Tony, you've got to talk to Serena about what went down today. We need to unearth the relationship between Xayne and Lieutenant Haith!" Eric asserted, then walked away alongside the others.Tony wore a hesitant expression as

    Serena's eyes widened in disbelief, her hand instinctively covering her mouth."X-Xayne, we're not actually taking that... to the party tonight, right?" Serena's face betrayed a mix of surprise and confusion as she blinked rapidly.Xayne's faint smile lingered. "Indeed, we are. Do you like it?"Serena's expression became a medley of excitement, disbelief, and trepidation. She had never set foot in a tank before. Thoughts raced through her mind. 'Are these steel behemoths really intended for mere entertainment? Did Xayne really send them here?'"Xayne, where on earth did you find these tanks? And how did you manage to get them here with just a phone call?" Serena blurted out, her grip on Xayne's arm tightening as he prepared to climb aboard the tank.Xayne's smile remained, as he explained, "It's not as complicated as it sounds. I served in the military, you know. I still have a few connections in Venzor, and I borrowed these tanks from my comrades temporarily. Let's not dawdle. Th

    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

    They had been supreme powerhouses, returning from the outer battlegrounds—warriors far beyond the likes of those reclusive Radiant Commanders of Eukrania. The environments that had shaped them could not have been more different.In the outer battlegrounds, battles to the death had been a daily occurrence. Meanwhile, the so-called Bi-Radiant Commanders of Eukrania had spent their days in seclusion. The gap between them had been as vast as the heavens and the abyss.That was precisely why Xayne had been able to slaughter eight of them at the outset yet still failed to bring down the remaining three. When it came to battle experience, understanding of formations, and sheer mental fortitude, Fent and Elder Stringer had surpassed the others by an overwhelming margin."You overestimate yourselves. I was merely testing some insights I've recently comprehended!" Xayne’s voice was cold.The moment those words fell, Fent and Elder Stringer’s expressions darkened."Xayne, you are indeed formidabl

    Xayne spun abruptly, his Ravenclaw Dagger and Scarlet Dragon Lance striking out at Elder Stringer and Fent in unison. In an instant, dazzling light engulfed the sky, turning everything into a blinding silver-white.The sheer intensity caused distant cameras to suffer momentary overexposure, while those positioned too close melted instantly under the searing heat waves. The shockwave from their clash alone sent entire blocks of buildings crumbling into rubble. Yet despite the destruction, Xayne was not unscathed—his skin split open, and blood flowed freely from his wounds.Still, he remained standing, his Scarlet Dragon Lance firmly in his grasp, his figure as proud and unyielding as ever. What troubled him most, however, was the phantom of himself conjured by the enemy’s formation. After all, no one understood him better than himself.As expected, the moment presented itself. The phantom Xayne seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack at his back.Without turning his head, Xay
