A sudden surge of energy emanated from Roman. The situation had escalated to a point where not taking action would be excessively cautious. In fact, it wouldn't just be cautious—it would be outright hypocritical.He exclaimed, "You, as the ruler of the Three Realms and the Celestial Sovereign, have gone back on your word and acted against the wishes of all beings in the Three Realms. I can no longer tolerate this and must hold you accountable!"With that, his energy rapidly surged toward Francis. Meanwhile, Francis trembled and also rapidly released his energy.Two waves of energy collided with a loud noise and then dispersed in all directions, causing ripples in the surrounding space. However, neither side was significantly affected, and both remained standing in place.Francis smirked. "Even after all these centuries, you've matured, but your abilities haven't improved much. If Remus hadn't drained so much of my energy, with your current abilities, I would only need to use 50 per

The black space took on the shape of a human-sized form, which then shrank to about one foot, resembling a larger sphere. Nobody could survive given that size.Seeing the situation, Roman silently breathed a sigh of relief. After this attack, he could only go all out two more times.If he couldn't kill Francis this time, he would have to strike again, which meant he would have only one more chance to use his full strength. In that case, would he still be able to suppress the other four ghost kings? After all, they still hadn't made their stance clear.Although having two chances instead of one may seem like only a slight increase, it actually granted Roman a bit more hope for survival. If there was only one chance left, then everything would depend on the four ghost kings not putting up a fight.Just then, the darkness suddenly shattered, and almost instantly, a golden light spread across the sky. At the center of this golden light was, of course, Francis."Just two more times!" H

In an instant, everyone's heart skipped a beat.No one could have predicted how quickly the situation would change. Not long ago, the ghost kings were working with Roman to defeat three Immortal Emperors. Now, they were on the brink of becoming enemies. It was even more unexpected for one major battle to follow right after another.A while later, Grant was the first to make a move, stepping forward.Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened instantly, including the other three ghost kings, who also became tense. This was because Grant's next words could decide Roman's fate.In fact, any of the four present could determine his fate since they were united at this moment, but it just happened to be Grant who stepped forward.Francis' lips curled up slightly, and Roman became even more vigilant."The moment I entered the Underworld, I am bound to it for life!" Grant finally spoke with determination. "Although I've made mistakes in the past, I've realized my errors and am trying to correct

Roman remained silent, not knowing how to respond, and even more so because he truly dared not take action.If Rafael and Melody were harmed because he acted rashly, there would be overwhelming public outrage, which would be impossible to contain.The reason, as Francis mentioned, was that Roman was claiming to save Melody and Rafael. If they were killed, anyone would think it was due to his selfish desires.Even if he wanted to go against public opinion, it shouldn't be done overtly. It should be carried out discreetly, subtly influencing things. However, he was under everyone's watchful eyes right now. It was too difficult!Francis suddenly burst into laughter, keeping his eyes fixed on Roman with a gaze full of mockery and contempt."Let them go, and I'll spare your life!" Roman spoke with difficulty, his gaze burning with anger, yet he still didn't dare to make a move."Do you think I'm a fool?" Francis paused his laughter and said with a hint of amusement, "In a time of grea

Time passed by second by second. Kaiser gathered all the think tanks from Darsia to start the discussion. Undoubtedly, he truly wanted to work out a foolproof plan.However, it was also undeniable that Lincoln made a valid point—the formations surpassed what the think tanks could handle, even going beyond the capabilities of cultivators in the Mortal Realm. There was simply no way to come up with a perfect strategy.Roman remained in the air, patiently waiting without any rush. He just needed to wait for two hours, so there was no need to hurry.The four ghost kings were also waiting for orders. If it weren't for the countless pairs of eyes watching them from below, they would have already sat down for a cup of tea until the orders arrived.As for Francis, he remained sitting in the air. Even though everything was happening right in front of him and was directed at him, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, completely ignoring it.Below, some people were shouting insults w
