“How much longer till the duel?”“One week.”“Alright.”Tobias waved his hand and said, “You should head back first. I’ll go to Mt. Thunder Pass and battle her then. This time, I’ll definitely kill her.“By the way, have you refined the second Spirit Turtle’s core yet?”“Not yet. I plan to save it for when I reach a higher realm.”Sky said in a grave voice, “Tobias, I must warn you to not underestimate Thea. Despite ascending the Third Stair of the Skyward Stairway and reaching its peak, you still might not be a match for her. If I were you and had only one week before the duel, I’d travel around Sol and absorb the True Energy of various martial artists to rapidly augment my strength the best I can. One week should be enough for you to ascend to the Fifth Stair.“You’ll be the greatest martial artist in this world if you ascend the Fifth Stair of the Skyward Stairway.“When that time comes, there will be none that can rival you.”Sky lightly warned Tobias.He had already walk
Sol, the Western Border.Mount Littleroot, the Blithe family’s headquarters.The Blithe family was known for being a relatively strong family since the days of old and had their accomplishments recorded throughout history.Their time spent in the sun also eventually came to an end.For the past hundred years, the Blithe family had not risen to their former glory.Not long ago, they invited many martial artists in order to make an impactful return back into the ancient martial world. They held aspirations to become the best of the ancient martial world upon their comeback.However, their plans went awry because of James.Wiston had personally taken action against him.He was already old and did not reap any benefits from participating in that battle. His True Energy ebbed away after going all out, and the vitality slowly drained from his body ever since.His time was almost up.At that moment, Winston sat in a lotus position on the ground in his closed-door sanctuary in a side
“Deep in an underground cavern in Mount Littleroot, there’s a map left behind by our forefather. It contains the layout of the booby traps within King Quavon's Mausoleum.“In the past, our ancestors also had a hand in constructing King Quavon's Mausoleum. Unfortunately, our forefather ended up being buried alive within it. However, he knew of his fate and secretly sent out the mausoleum’s layout after it was successfully built.“If our ancestor was telling the truth, the Primordial Sword and First Sword Art manual are buried within King Quavon's Mausoleum.“This is our family's biggest secret, and only one family member in each generation can know of this information.“My time is almost up, so I wanted to pass it on to you. If you have the chance, you must go to the underground cavern in Mount Littleroot and find the floor plan of King Quavon's Mausoleum that our forefather left behind. You’ll need to then use it to find the Primordial Sword and acquire the First Sword Art.“I’m l
Western Border, Mount Littleroot.A man who looked to be in his 40s walked toward the base of the mountain.The person was dressed in fashionable, modern clothing.He also carried a long sword on his back.The presence of the long sword was jarring and stood out over his entire outfit.“Who’s there?”As soon as Tobias showed up, he was stopped by the Blithes’ guards.The guards immediately pointed their guns at the approaching Tobias.“This place is Mount Litttleroot. Outsiders are not allowed, so leave quickly. Otherwise…”Tobias looked at the Blithes’ guards and his lips raised into a faint smile.He lost to the Blithes’ paragon in the past.For 20 long years, he had been brooding over the defeat.He had always been afraid of the Blithe Fist of Abomination. Back when James was captured, he did not dare to oppose them directly and only sent Maxine to check on the situation.This has changed now. He was no longer afraid of the Blithes.He walked toward the guards casually
His body flickered and in an instant, he appeared in the main hall.He raised his hand and thrust it forward.The powerful Palm Energy crashed into the coffin.The coffin was immediately reduced to splinters.Winston’s corpse rolled onto the floor and came into full view of the people present.Upon seeing this scene, the Blithe family members turned wrathful.“Tobias, you’ve gone too far!”One of the family members drew his sword.Tobias raised his hand again and unleashed Palm Energy toward him.The man that drew his sword was sent flying and slammed hard into the ground. A pool of blood formed under him, and he never got up again.Donovan clenched his fists at the scene before him.However, he swallowed down the rage boiling in his heart.Tobias was furious when he saw Winston’s corpse on the ground. He screeched, “Damn it! Why didn’t you wait for me!”He unsheathed his long sword and repeatedly hacked away at Winston’s body.Winston’s cold, lifeless body was mutilated
The 81 black needles flew through the air like lasers, piercing through the cultivation room’s walls.The cultivation room was enclosed in solid rock.However, the black needles easily passed through the black rocks.A few microscopic holes were left in the rock.Soon, the black needles flew back into the room and returned to Thea’s hand as a black steel wire.The steel wire was a weapon called Exalter.Thea had been absorbing the Spirit Turtle blood’s power during her closed-door meditation. She felt the effect of the Spirit Turtle’s blood more keenly in her current mentally unhinged state. It was stronger than it had been previously.At the same time, she had also been trying to decipher the teachings in the Book of Malice.The strength of Exalter combined with Murderous Energy was nothing short of foreboding.However, she had not grasped the technique completely and thus, was unable to utilize the full power of Exalter.Right now, Exalter could only be seen as a powerful h
“My lord.”Seeing the person that approached, Jackson greeted him respectfully.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Omniscient Deity.”Delainey also greeted the man politely.The person that appeared was none other than the neutral party of the ancient martial world, Jade Sect’s leader, more commonly known as the Omniscient Deity.Each generation of Jade Sect’s leader inherits the title of Omniscient Deity.Jackson asked, “What exactly has happened, Lord Omniscient?”The Omniscient Deity looked at James sitting in a lotus position on the ground and sighed. He replied, “This is a matter only concerning the Cadens.”Delainey looked at the Omniscient Deity.She knew the man in front of her was the leader of the Jade Sect.Jade Sect’s intelligence network was spread all over the world.Their intelligence channels were established thousands of years ago and have evolved into massive networks. There was nothing in the world that could get past the Jade Sect.“Stop beating around the bu
All this talk about calamity was extremely hard to believe.Jackson did not quite believe it, and neither did Delainey.“Huff.”The Omniscient Deity sighed.Hell was about to break loose, and chaos would befall them.He could not predict what would happen or if the situation would get out of control.The sky gradually grew lighter.The crowd at the peak of Mt. Thunder Pass increased.After dawn, more than 30 people appeared on top of Mt. Thunder Pass.The 30 onlookers were all prominent figures in the ancient martial world. They were all curious to watch the battle and witness the strength of the Celestial Sect’s leader. Moreover, they wanted to know Tobias’ strength and rank after absorbing the True Energy of James and other martial artists. The sun gradually rose.Soon, it was already ten in the morning.At a little over ten, a man slowly approached the base of Mt. Thunder Pass.He was dressed in a suit and carried a long sword with him.Although he looked like he was
