"What ... what's going on?" Linnea murmured in disbelief.Remus was on the verge of death just moments ago, but now he was full of life.Ana was also stunned as she couldn't believe that Remus had defended against Bason's full-force strike.She then clenched her fists and said, "His sudden energy burst must be related to the Inner Pill. "Normally, if an ordinary person swallows the pill, even if it were a Supreme Martial Sovereign, they would burst due to the overwhelming energy, yet he can completely assimilate it in an instant. There's something peculiar about his body!"Remus' physical resilience was off the charts."Huh?" Bason was also baffled.His recent punch could easily crush an opponent of Martial Imperial level, yet Remus remained completely unharmed.He said, "I didn't expect you to be a cultivator."He had noticed a faint spirit energy around Remus earlier but didn't think anything about it, as it was common for many powerful practitioners to exude such energy la

The encounter between the nine individuals was far more intense and stimulating than Bason's relentless assault on Remus.The back flowing seawater was instantly swept away, creating another surge outward.However, they didn't continue their battle beneath the sea surface, they instead ascended into the air.Bason had reached his breaking point as he was stifled by Remus' relentless defense, leaving him with no option but to strike with all his might, expelling almost all his energy.Despite being only at the Supreme Martial Sovereign level, these eight individuals had undergone continuous joint training, resulting in exceptionally tight-knit coordination.They had securely trapped Bason from eight directions, with four individuals feigning assaults while the remaining four looked for chances to make their move.They were all locked in a fiercely tangled battle, their burst of energy forming waves on the sea's surface, reverberating into the distance."How dare a bunch of Suprem

The sight of Bason being cleaved into two stunned everyone present. All eyes were fixed on the scene, but they couldn't dispel the disbelief in their heart.Their disbelief stemmed from witnessing Bason's swift transition from a menacing, powerful figure to being in a defeated and perished state.Bason held the prestigious rank of 68th in the Ancient Martial Arts Ranking. Putting that into context with the world's seven billion people, he was an unparalleled one-in-a-billion exceptional force. Such a formidable figure being slain by a Martial Imperial was beyond comprehension and explanation.The crowd struggled to believe it, and Bason was also in disbelief. Even after being cleaved, he held onto his life. His eyes swirled in their sockets, desperately trying to glance downward to inspect his own body.However, as he lowered his head, his body that had just been split in two started to separate in opposite directions.Amid the dizzying whirl of his surroundings, he stubbornly gaz

Garth, Rufus, and Philbert all simultaneously turned their gaze toward the entrance of the hall upon hearing the news of Ana's return.They were astonished to see a mythical creature resembling a phoenix landing at the hall entrance."Is ... is that a wild chicken?"The three of them were taken aback seeing Ruby, yet they instantly recognized it as a wild chicken."Has this wild chicken achieved enlightenment?" Philbert asked in astonishment.In this world, there was no shortage of demonic beasts like giant pythons, fierce tigers, and black bears that often cultivated and developed inner cores, granting them the ability to match humans.However, these beasts had short lives, barely lasting ten years. Most of them would perish in around seven years, leaving no time for cultivation and enlightenment.The three of them were shocked to discover that Ruby, as a beast, seemed to have cultivated for a hundred years, something they had never encountered before."This is Remus' pet!" An

Ana brought Ruby and the unconscious Remus to the rear section of the Monarch Palace. The architecture here possessed an old-world charm, remarkably different from the prevailing traditional buildings seen in Darsia.The buildings here appeared more ancient, more textured, and grander in scale. Walking through this place felt like stepping back thousands of years.In the center lay a square paved with bluestones, surrounded by old-fashioned pavilions on the sides.The square was filled with numerous people. Some practiced martial arts, others engaged in casual conversations, and a few engrossed in reading. All these people belonged to the Walters, with a few representatives from the Schneiders and the Cunninghams."Gosh, that wild chicken is enormous!""Is that person on the chicken's back the Cosbys?""He looks like he's just been through a fierce battle!"The crowd buzzed with discussions as they all knew Ana had set off for Darsia in search of the Cosbys, but they were unawar
