Everyone was repelled by the restrictions and fell to the ground unceremoniously.“Even this stone stool has a restriction. How annoying.”“Ugh... Why? I just wanted to pick a plant...”“Damn it, this is infuriating...”The mighty figures cursed loudly without care for their image, and Andrius could not help but laugh.“Enough.”Gluttony said calmly, “These are just superficial things. The real treasures should be inside the main hall.”Everyone turned their eyes toward the bronze doors at the end of the corridor, their gazes burning once again.“Let’s go!”Immediately, the group set off eagerly.Gluttony, Andrius, and his group were no exception.Clang...The bronze doors opened, revealing the scene inside.A stone tablet!The thing that stood out the most was a stone tablet enveloped in clouds. It was the core control of the entire Sky Genesis Immortal Palace, also known as the palace stele!It was the Immortal Palace’s hub. Whoever refined it would control the entire
Gluttony was stunned. After observing closely, his expression immediately changed. He stopped advancing and gave Andrius a friendly nod.Meanwhile, the others had just moved forward when they noticed the surrounding demonic energy growing stronger.In the end, the clouds of demonic energy enveloped them and started to invade.“Everyone, be careful!”Cloud noticed something off and immediately warned, “This demonic energy isn’t normal. Don’t let it invade you, or your consciousness might be erased.”“Ahhhh...”Just as he spoke, someone screamed—He was already invaded by the demonic energy!Swoosh—Boom!The group was stunned and tried to retreat, but it was too late.The demonic cultivators had launched their attack.The vast demonic energy engulfed a whole area, trapping the crowd in its range. The two-front attack caused screams to continue from inside.Some figures occasionally burst out, including Cloud and Briar.However, their tattered clothes, fluctuating energy, and
At that moment, Lionel joined the argument. “Why should the palace stele go to either of you? One of the Sky Genesis Swords was also from the Draco clan, and we fought and sacrificed lives along the way for that. We, too, deserve a share of the stele!”No one was willing to concede in the critical moment.The weakened demonic energy began to grow sinister again, slowly approaching everyone.“All of you, shut up!”Gluttony roared, “This isn’t the time for internal strife. If we waste any more time, the demonic energy will annihilate us before we can refine the palace stele.”Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and they instinctively looked over.Sure enough, the demonic energy shadows continued to shine and, from time to time, leaked out powerful auras that made them feel uneasy.“Gluttony!” Cloud looked at Peyton and asked, “Do you have a better plan?”Briar and Lionel also looked over.“I think…”Peyton looked at Andrius. “Among us, Andrius is the best person to refine the pala
Swoosh!Then, he leaped up. His body swelled into his true Gluttony form in the air and was enveloped in a layer of black flames, making him look mighty powerful. Briar and the others also took action.The remaining experts formed arrays and used treasures to fend off the demonic shadows.“It’s time!”Taking advantage of the distracted demonic energy shadows, Andrius silently arrived at the palace stele. Then, he sent a wisp of his spiritual consciousness inside.As he suspected, the stele was the control core of the Immortal Palace and needed to be refined. Therefore, he did not hesitate to act immediately.Whoosh… The palace stele was made of a strange material and required spiritual consciousness to be continuously infused. Only once it was fully infused would it be completely refined.Of course, the stronger the spiritual consciousness, the faster the refining process. If the spiritual consciousness was weak, it would slow the process or even get expelled.In just a mom
Cloud, Briar, and Lionel appeared in front of Andrius at the same time.“Andrius, the palace stele is too hard for you to handle. You should hand it over.”“Exactly. You have no foundation in the cultivation world. Why do you need so many treasures?”“Andrius, I suggest you be smart!”The three of them spoke sardonically, trying to force Andrius to hand over the palace steel. “Insolence!”Furious, Gluttony transformed into a shadow in front of Andrius, his angry eyes cold. “You are all renowned figures in the cultivation world. How could you go back on your word?”“Hahahaha…”Cloud and the others laughed mockingly.“Peyton Skyseeker, power makes right in the cultivation world.”“That’s right, Andrius. Hand over the palace stele like a good boy. Don’t force our hand.”“There’s a limit to my patience.”The tense situation made Andrius frown. He did not expect the agreement to be broken so quickly, but it seemed he was too naïve.While he was contemplating, the trio could no
Instead of retreating, Andrius advanced boldly, throwing a punch that made a resounding noise. “How arrogant of you!”“You’re bold!”“You’re courting death!”The three were furious, and their true vitality boiled. It did not take long before both sides clashed violently, but the outcome was astonishing.The three leaders were sent flying, leaving long trails of blood that added a bloody color to the Immortal Palace. On the other hand, Andrius stood firmly, looking relaxed.He shouted coldly, “I have the palace stele in my possession, and you’re still trying to hurt me? How ridiculous and foolish!”The three leaders widened their eyes when that realization dawned on them. Andrius possessed the palace stele, so fighting him was like fighting the entire Immortal Palace, and they naturally could not win. However, at that point, as they could no longer back down without losing their dignity, they refused to concede. Thus, a confrontation ensued.“What?”Andrius snorted with a
They had to choose between treasures or their lives as one led to Eden while the other to the abyss!No one doubted that the place described as an abyss by the Immortal Palace would contain immense terror and disaster. Thus, all the experts hesitated when they saw the two doors.The allure of treasure was undeniable. For a cultivator, obtaining a suitable treasure would allow them to defy the heavens and change their fates, but…They all looked at each other, none rushing to make a choice, Gluttony and Andrius included. At that moment, Andrius had many thoughts in his head. If Andrius continued cultivating steadily, he would surely reach the Great Progression stage. On top of that, he had yet completely refined the true vitality the Mountain Sage gave him. If he refined it all, he would definitely break through to the Great Progression stage. However, what about after that?Even someone as powerful as Gluttony needed his help to get through the Great Progression stage safely. E
“Y-You…”Andrius could not believe his eyes and stammered, “I-Is that you, Luna?”“Hubby!”The figure turned around, and it was indeed Luna.“Luna!”Overjoyed, Andrius instinctively asked, “W-What are you doing here?”“I…”Luna’s expression immediately changed. “Old Hagstorm captured me and imprisoned my soul. Only by killing him can I return.”What?Andrius was shocked to hear that Old Hagstorm had taken Luna away and imprisoned her soul, but how could that be? Had anyone else told him that news, he would not believe them. However, the person standing before him was Luna, his beloved wife!For a moment, Andrius was at a loss for words.“Nonsense!”Just then, an equally familiar and shocking voice came from behind, and Andrius turned around, only to see Old Hagstorm.He pointed at Luna and shouted, “You witch! Andrius wouldn’t have had to come to this point if not for you! You bring calamity to the people and the country. All you cause is trouble! Andrius, kill her and e
