As the sea beast king laughed, he was about to attack Andrius.Swoosh!Suddenly, there was a sharp sound.A long sword with a brilliant gleam descended from the sky, aiming directly at the sea beast king.Then, a furious voice roared like thunder, “Vile beast! Don’t you dare!”As the voice spoke, an old man appeared while stepping in the air.The sea beast king could not devour Andrius and quickly dodged the life-threatening move.Whoosh!The old man arrived beside Andrius in less than a second. His speed was simply unbelievable. It shocked everyone present.They looked closer.The man had white hair and a beard, but his face was ruddy and gave off an elegant demeanor. There was no doubt that he was a true expert in cultivation. Otherwise, he could not have made such a dramatic entrance.The sea beast king regained his senses and roared in anger, “Stand in my way and die!”Then, he lunged at the old man standing on the sea like a wild beast.“Seeking death!” The old man’s
Andrius did not know how long he had been unconscious.When he woke up, he found himself lying in a simple wooden house. The furnishings were quite basic. There was only a bed, a table, and a chair.“Phew...”Andrius sat up from the bed, instantly feeling sore all over.There was no helping it. The previous battle was too intense, and he was severely injured.However, Andrius struggled to get off the bed and headed outside. He needed to return as soon as possible so that Noir and the others did not worry and to find the Skybound Sect.However, as soon as he stepped out, a girl dressed as a maid came in with a bowl of medicinal soup.“Mister, where are you planning to go?”Her voice was gentle and very pleasant to the ears, but Andrius obviously was not interested in hearing.He said bluntly, “Thank you for saving me, but I’m in a rush. I must go back immediately.”Then, he tried to go around the maid.“No!”She blocked his way.Andrius frowned and was about to push her asi
A destructive aura suddenly appeared.Andrius staggered and saw a brilliant sword energy.Whoosh!The next moment, the sword energy struck his attack.Andrius felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.Then, the majestic attack was instantly shattered and dissipated. The sword energy also dissipated as if it had exhausted itself.Andrius was astonished. He knew very well that the strength of that sword energy far exceeded his imagination. It shattered his attack not because it had reached its limit but because it feared hurting him!Andrius’ expression instantly turned grave.That single move made him realize he had to take this old man seriously. The man was a formidable existence he had never seen before, perhaps even comparable to the Demon Emperor!Compared to the sea beast king, he was in a completely different league.Whoosh...Andrius began to prepare for his second attack.It was an unprecedented move—the most powerful move he inherited from the Flame Emperor, a
“How about this?”The old man glanced at Andrius and said casually, “Starting today, you’ll try swordsmithing. As long as you forge a legendary sword, I’ll let you leave.”Swordsmithing...Andrius nodded. “Deal.”“Your injuries are too severe, and you’ve just exhausted yourself. You can start tomorrow.” The old man turned to leave.“Wait.” Andrius asked, “Elder, may I know your name?”“Just call me Elder Frye.”Then, Elder Frye left the room with his hands behind his back.Andrius obediently drank the medicinal soup the maid had brought earlier.Surprisingly, it was quite effective. After drinking it, he felt a surge of inner energy filling his body, making him feel much better than when he first woke up.Then, he sat on the bed and started to meditate.For the whole day and night, Andrius tried to recover from his injuries.Unfortunately, after the medicine wore off, there was no effect no matter how hard he tried. He tried acupuncture, insects, demonic energy, and everyth
It was absolutely unacceptable!Andrius responded and continued to try. He tried until he had no more strength left, then he rested, recovered, and tried again.He persisted until in the end, he collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up anymore. He did not have the strength to move a single finger.Phwoosh...At that moment, heavy rain poured from the sky.It seemed like a sigh for Andrius, yet also like it was mocking him.Andrius lay motionless on the ground, letting the rain wash over him. At that moment, his mind was as turbulent as the pouring rain, unable to calm down for a long time.He kept thinking.The hammer was not that heavy, yet why was swinging it so strenuous?It felt like trying to move a mountain!Furthermore, with each swing, Andrius felt pressure from his meridians as if they were on the verge of breaking!He thought about it but could not figure it out.Thus, he decided to stop thinking and lay on the ground, accepting the baptism of the rain. There w
The maid chuckled but did not answer directly. Instead, she said, “Mr. Moonshade, you’ve only developed the sixth sense so far. That’s why you’re stuck in the Divine Step realm, progressing slowly. However, if you can open up your seventh sense, you’ll inevitably enter the realm of immortal cultivation.“At that time, your injuries will finally heal. However, that’s only if you can break through and transcend yourself like Master did.”After saying those words, the maid did not care about Andrius’ reaction and left with the umbrella.A moment later, she came to Old Frye.Elder Frye glanced in the direction of Andrius and asked, “Lola, did you say everything that had to be said?”The maid nodded. “Yes, Master. I’ve told Mr. Moonshade everything. However, can this really help him?Elder Frye sighed, his gaze becoming distant. “With his talent, he should be able to comprehend it.”The maid nodded, seemingly understanding.Meanwhile...Drip, drip...Pitter-patter...The rain con
That vast pressure was like the sky itself, pressed between the heavens and the earth, invincible and unmatched.Andrius was surprised and terrified.He was surprised because causing a tribulation meant taking one step further into the Divine Step realm.In fact, he might even step into the legendary realm of immortal cultivation!However, he was terrified because, at that moment, he had no strength left. He was afraid he would not be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation. He might die from the tribulation, completely annihilated.Hiss...At the critical moment, Andrius took a deep breath and prepared for a final struggle.However, the tribulation did not give him time.Crackle...With a crisp sound, the heavens split apart.Purple divine thunderbolts as thick as Andrius’ arm fell instantly, striking his head.Bzz...With just one thunderbolt, Andrius felt his head buzzing, his consciousness becoming blurred.Memories of the past floated by like a movie in his head.
Whoosh...Andrius could not believe it and immediately tried to gather the inner energy in his body.No!At that moment, he realized that what was in his body could no longer be called inner energy.A strong energy continuously overflowed from the golden core in his body, then circulated through his meridians, throughout his body, and finally back to the golden core.The cycle repeated endlessly, over and over.More importantly, that energy was much stronger than the previous inner energy. It was as if the two were not even on the same level or the same dimension.‘Maybe... calling it true energy would be more accurate!’ Andrius thought in his heart.At the same time, he was deeply shocked.By just orally passing down a set of swordsmithing techniques, Elder Frye allowed him to easily surpass the Divine Step realm and finally enter the Golden Core stage...His method could be deemed genius. It was something that Andrius never dared to think about before, but now he accomplish
