“Is this worth it, just for the Holy Book?”Alex was astounded, but at the same time, pitied the old man trapped up there, so he didn’t blame him. He was locked up here and faced inhumane torture every moment. It felt like his body and soul were being cut up nonstop, an extremely barbaric action.If Alex had been the one facing this, he too would’ve gone crazy. Thus, he was unable to believe that his grandson would come here either.Alex’s eyes went cold as he looked at the nine dragon heads.It was impossible to use force.Once he attacked forcefully, it would cause a chain reaction and the vicious souls of the Ghost Dragons floating above would crash down and strike at full power. Even if he was invincible, he probably couldn’t beat them. “Sword heart!” Alex’s glabella glowed as runes circulated. Half a sword heart slowly emerged.The sword heart had been given to him by the Red Empress at Atlantis and was the soul of Seventy-two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation.With the
“Erm, Neela, aren’t you meditating? Why did you come out?”Alex was stunned for a while. “Quickly, go back into my body,” he anxiously suggested. “It’s very dangerous here. Your wounds haven’t healed, so don’t let the frost hurt you.”Neela seemed to have not heard Alex’s warning as she stared straight at the nine Ghost Dragons before her with quivering eyes.“B… Belindo, is it you?”Alex was startled by Neela’s reaction, looking at the dragons in disbelief. ‘Could Neela know one of them?’To keep Neela safe from the pool’s freezing temperatures, Alex quickly took the disc from the sword heart and conjured up dozens of powerful sword shadows, forming a protective barrier to shield her.Neela cried out. “Belindo, Belindo, come on! Speak! I know it’s you. Why are you… why have you become like this? Tell me, tell me…”Her voice shook from nervousness and utter disbelief.Alex said, “Neela, there’s no use shouting. These nine dragons were deliberately killed cruelly and trapped her
“Sir, how is she?” Neela asked nervously. She looked at one of the silent dragons, her face full of worry. ‘The dragon she was looking at must be Belindo.’ Alex didn’t speak but observed silently.He realized that the fifty percent success rate he’d estimated was still a little too optimistic. Among the nine dragons, four didn’t react to the spell and still remained the same as before; three others looked confused, and that counted as… somewhat a success—the Ultimate Book of Medicine had cleansed their souls but had not awakened their memories. Only the last two silent dragons were slowly regaining their memories with the help of Zharvakko’s power.Luckily, Belindo was one of the two.“Belindo, Belindo......” Neela whispered softly, calling her name.Finally, Belindo opened her eyes and started to move. She saw Neela and called out, “Sis…” hoarsely.“Belindo!!” Neela cried out loud, about to rush forward.However, she was held back by Alex. “Neela, hold on. We’re still in t
Alex rushed upwards swiftly and soon came close to Nolan, who was still in the prison formation.Now, without the suppression from the Ghost Dragons, along with the damage Alex dealt with the formation core at the bottom of the pool, the restrictions upon the old man lessened considerably… Thus, he’d become much stronger and had even placed the thick chains across the surface of the pool to stop Alex from escaping. “D*mn it! This really is troublesome!”Alex stopped about a hundred meters away and said telepathically. “I’m sincerely not on the same side with the Fourcade’s. You should’ve sensed it by now, right? I’ve broken down half of the prison, and I can free you from the other half as long as you cooperate with me…”“Hmph, in this whole world, only someone from the Fourcade family would be able to crack open this place. You dismembered the formation so easily. Did you think I’d be blind enough to believe that you’re not a Fourcade?” Nolan put on a firm expression, complet
Just then, Alex suddenly sensed a deadly aura coming from the entrance near the snow valleys.“D*mn it! that old man has indeed returned!” Alex remembered Julian’s killer aura well enough.Nolan felt it too, his expressions changing as he quickly said, “Go, child. Just leave me behind! God has treated me so well; I never thought that I’d meet my grandson before death! I’d be able to die without regrets now. Run now. Go! I’m sorry about everything!”The old man had wanted to kill Alex just a while ago, but now he seemed to be persuaded by Alex’s words.Alex’s eyes turned stern, “Sword heart, slash!”“Ghost Dragon Suppressing Prison, shatter now!”At the same time, Julian and two other young men had seen Alex. They had also noticed the precarious state the prison was in.As he realized what had happened, Julian immediately ran berserk. He screamed loudly, “Stop!”He hadn’t finished speaking, but his body had already rushed forward like lightning. Nolan was so worried his eyes alm
“Do you really think you can escape?”Even though Julian hadn’t suffered any actual harm, he was in a rather messy state. It was mainly because he had his guard down when the first image attacked. Although he’d destroyed the image in one hit, he still got hit by its thunder attack, which injured the left side of his stomach.Moreover, the impact of the following seven self-destructions was also quite powerful.If he hadn’t had his ancestor’s defense treasure on him, he would’ve really died there.“A mere weakling with Core Formation actually harmed me?”“Those mirror images are definitely not his own power, but from an invincible treasure!”Julian clenched his teeth, his eyes turning blood red. He wanted to get his hands on such a treasure.Most importantly, Nolan was too valuable. The Fourcade ancestors had searched for the holy book for thousands of years, after all, and now that they were only one step away from attaining it, his ancestor would definitely be furious if he mes
Ancestor Bodhi rejected him directly. “Let me put it to you in this way. The tree had been harmed by a strong demonic poison back at Dairaionji Temple. This poison is extremely rare and is among the top three most potent poisons of this universe.”“The tree’s vitality gradually weakens every day, and even limitless holy energy can’t remove the poison. Only its own cleansing powers can remove the poison little by little. I’m not sure how long it’ll take, but this process cannot be stopped, or it will surely die once the demonic poison is triggered. And the soul planted in your father can’t be restricted anymore.”Alex frowned. “I didn’t know it was that serious. Alright, I understand now.”The tree couldn’t offer him any help. He could only rely on himself now.At the time, Julian was coming nearer, and his grandsons had long set up traps for him in front.Alex immediately drilled into the ground, using the Earth Escape Technique to its absolute limit.He refused to believe that J
“Hmm?”“What rich chaos Chi energy! What is that thing?”Julian would have never thought Alex threw out the roots of the Chaos Tree, or he would’ve been mad with jealousy. However, even if he hadn’t thought of that, he could feel the unnaturally rich chaos Chi energy upon the roots. He wanted it so badly he felt like his head was going to explode.‘Such strong chaos Chi energy… this is definitely another rare treasure. This kid has quite the treasure on him. Is he here to give me these valuables?’Julian’s eyes turned red with greed, and he went giddy with excitement. ‘Mine… mine… all mine…’‘I’ll be rich once I beat that kid!’Just as these thoughts appeared in Julian’s mind, the tree roots tangled around the sword, pulling it forward. The sword moved at a quicker speed towards Alex.Julian was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out heartily.He was laughing at Alex’s idiocy. His sword was so ferocious it could even slash through the Path of God. ‘Whatever he had that’s fil
