Arturo was a man of few words, but his comments were always spot-on. "While it is accurate that he could resolve the crisis by taking the pill immediately, his strength is compromised by impurities in his power. Taking this pill poses a significant risk to his body!"Not all pills or elixirs were safe for everyone at any time. Taking them without caution could be harmful and lead to problems. The same applied to the Ethereal Vitality Pill. While it could greatly enhance a person's strength, without a healthy constitution to withstand such potent medicinal effects, the harm to the body could be substantial.Zak smiled slyly and said, "That's not a problem. We don't need to tell him about the drawbacks of this pill. He's talentless, and he has already embarked on a path of no return by using pills and elixirs to boost his strength. But it doesn't matter. Sacrificing a few lives is inconsequential as long as we can manipulate him. These ants are just puppets for us to achieve our goal
Everyone was stunned when they saw the newcomer was just a large black dog. "A black dog?" Noah sneered and raised his fist. However, the Watts were taken aback when they saw the black dog.Zak was the first one to come around to his senses as he shouted, "Noah, stop!" He tried to grab Noah, but he was too late. Noah hit the black dog hard, but it just stood there and looked down at him with disdain.All of a sudden, his attack disappeared, and he froze in mid-air, looking confused. Before he could do anything, a blue light flashed again on the white spot on the black dog's forehead, and Noah's body was sent flying away. Noah crashed heavily into the snowy ground, but the black dog did not stop there. It leaped and stepped onto Noah.Noah felt as if he were under the weight of 1,000 pounds, making it hard for him to breathe."Hmph! You have a lot of nerve to stand up against me. You'll regret challenging my authority!" The black dog's thoughts were audible to everyone nearb
Noah relentlessly delivered punch after punch to the black dog. The formidable force of his fists stirred up whirlwinds on the snowy ground, creating a howling spectacle and reducing nearby trees and rocks to powder. However, it did nothing. The black dog did not fight back. It just stood still like a sculpture as it watched Noah silently. After some time had passed, the black dog finally lost its patience and growled, "Get lost!" Noah was once again sent flying, losing consciousness this time.The Watts were trembling in fear. They were not like Noah. They knew how formidable the black dog was."Zak, what's going on? How can this dog be so powerful?" Arturo asked. Zak pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't know. It might be an ancient creature sealed somewhere here. There's no way we can be its match. The circumstances have taken a sudden turn for the worse. We should consider withdrawing."Alejandro chimed in. "Zak is right. We should retreat. As the saying goes, it's
Many of them had fainted on the spot, but they did not dare to leave first because of their respect for Demarcus. Now that Demarcus had left, they instantly felt a sense of relief and hastily fled.During the escape, some even dropped their weapons.Meanwhile, Adrian looked at the black dog and felt somewhat taken aback. "What is this big dog?" Soon, Laney approached them and told everyone, "Let me introduce, this is Lord Obsidian."'Lord Obsidian? They called a dog a lord?' Adrian exclaimed inwardly.However, Adrian knew that they were now in the monster's territory. It was quite normal for a powerful monster not to take human form.Therefore, he did not say much. He just took a step forward and bowed to Obsidian. "Lord Obsidian, thank you for saving us."Obsidian looked at him and said coldly, "I didn't come here to save you. I came here to save Laney and the others."Seeing the chaos around, Laney felt deep self-blame and said, "What have we done wrong? Why are they treat
The surviving monsters cowered, looking quite disheveled as they had suffered significant injuries during the battle. As Obsidian walked over, he muttered, "The valley can be rebuilt, but once a lifeform dies, it's gone forever. Later on, let's conduct a ritual to appease the fallen souls here. Otherwise, it'll be unsuitable to turn this place into a blessed land in the future with all the souls here." Laney said respectfully, "We're aware of this, but we are not skilled in them. Could we…"Obsidian glanced at her and said, "Rest assured, I'll help you."Laney was overjoyed, and she thanked Obsidian profusely.Obsidian said, "No need for thanks. Moreover, this is not only helping you but also assisting Adrian. In the future, as you join him, this place will become one of his training places."Laney nodded respectfully.Once again, the group arrived at the innermost stone chamber of Verdant Summit. When passing by the statue of Celestial Drago, Quintin respectfully bowed.Even
Adrian had long known about this since Obsidian had mentioned it earlier. Even so, he had not figured out the true purpose behind Obsidian's actions.Obsidian continued. "Helping you means assisting you in solving this particular issue." He would impart a technique to Adrian, and Adrian could then directly pass on this technique to Laney and others. Laney and the others could be officially regarded as apprentices under Adrian at that point. In the future, as Adrian's faction grew, he could teach this technique to new apprentices under his command."Really?" Adrian felt excited by the prospect. Still, he was not naive. There must be some undisclosed motives behind Obsidian's actions. Obsidian seemed to sense Adrian's doubt and said, "I'm doing this to help you and to assist Laney and the others." Obsidian had been thinking about what lies ahead for Laney and the other monsters.Should they keep living in fear in this wild valley, always at risk from humans? Or should they find
"Your current training falls under self-realization. Although you have your own set of skills, its systematic nature can't compare to the Greenhursts," Obsidian said. "After you start the training, it'll complement the weakness of your original training style. When the day comes for you to transform into human form, you can completely abandon your previous training style and wholeheartedly devote yourself to practicing the celestial arts."As a spiritual beast with extensive knowledge of celestial arts, Obsidian succinctly illuminated the intricacies of Laney and the others' training styles.Besides, if Laney and the others could achieve a higher level in the future, they could also become apprentices qualified to pass down the techniques to others.After listening to Obsidian's words, Laney and the others nodded consecutively. With access to the celestial arts, it would be easier for them to train themselves.The initiation ceremony was simple. It was no different from other facti
The long howl came suddenly and hauntingly, resembling the howl of a wild wolf echoing across an open wilderness. Along with Obsidian's howl, the moonlight in the sky became even more radiant and dazzling.A gentle radiance began to descend from the moon, enveloping Verdant Summit like a layer of silver brilliance. Gradually, the soft silver light undulated and moved in multiple directions in the air. The scene resembled countless fireflies dancing in the sky.Suddenly, the faint silver glow in the sky flickered, and then it converged from all directions toward the giant statue of Celestial Drago. The eyes of the statue emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire night sky.In a short while, the silver glow transformed once again into a protective shield, encompassing the outer perimeter of Verdant Summit.As this happened, Obsidian's howl gradually subsided. Simultaneously, the shield emitted a faint blue light and disappeared into the vast night sky. Verdant Summit's prote
