They were the pinnacle of this world's power, but that did not necessarily mean they were invincible. If even Xayne understood this truth, it made sense that a Radiant Commander would also grasp it. The consequences of breaking the rules were something a Radiant Commander surely understood far better than Xayne. The absence of Radiant Commanders over the past two centuries only added to the mystery of their true power."I advise you not to bring about your demise! Eukrania is already negotiating with all parties. The contract barring Radiant Commander from interfering in the mortal world will soon be nullified. When that happens, you will be hunted down by Radiant Commanders until your death! Not just you, but everyone around you—your family, your friends—they will all be eradicated without a trace!" Theodore's voice rang out again, his words sharp and unyielding.Theodore's shocking declaration sent waves of terror rippling through the crowd.'The contract barring Radiant Commander

"King of the North, these people are the backbone of Lera's Pharmaceutical Circle. I implore you to show mercy and spare their lives!" Orion pleaded as he stumbled forward and knelt before Xayne with a loud thud."Spare their lives?!" Xayne's gaze swept coldly over the kneeling crowd. Without warning, he raised his hand and struck down with a powerful chop.Before Theodore could react, Xayne's chop had already cleaved through him. In an instant, Theodore met the same fate as Skylar, reduced to a cloud of blood mist.The crowd was struck dumb with disbelief. That was Theodore, a figure so prominent that even the Five Great Mountains dared not kill him lightly, yet he had been obliterated by Xayne as if he were nothing.A spray of warm blood splattered across Orion's face and body, causing him to shudder uncontrollably.Xayne was the King of the North, a true royal duke. To execute a minor city governor like him did not even require reporting to the imperial court. The privilege of

Xayne gave a slight nod and led Serena into the helicopter. It was not until the helicopter carrying Xayne and Serena disappeared into the distance that the members of the Pharmaceutical Sect finally exhaled in relief."Dracarium Master, are we heading back to Folksworth or...?" Draluna, seated in the co-pilot seat, turned around and asked."Take Serena back. I need to head to Mount Kulun for an appointment. Keep a close watch on the Pharmaceutical Sect's every move during this time. If you detect anything unusual, call this number—someone will handle it," Xayne said, handing Draluna a slip of paper with Esmond's contact information.Esmond had not accompanied Xayne on this trip; instead, he had gone deep into the mountains to study the art of formations.For the time being, the safety of Serena and the two children had to be entrusted to the Dracarium Warriors. Xayne knew that the ban on Radiant Commander was only a matter of time before it was lifted.Esmond's ability to strengt

The night passed uneventfully. By dawn, the mountain was shrouded in a dense mist so thick that even Xayne's sharp vision could not pierce through."Elder Zeanid, why is the fog on this mountain so dense?" Xayne asked with a frown."This isn't mere fog—it's malevolent energy," Zeanid explained solemnly. "Countless lives have perished in the Kulun Thunder Sea over the ages, and their death energy has gathered, forming this oppressive aura. Anyone who ventures into the Thunder Sea is doomed." He paused, his gaze steady. "Over time, that death energy transformed into the malevolent mist you see before you. Are you prepared?"Xayne nodded firmly. "I'm ready anytime."Zeanid acknowledged him with a nod. "Wait for me outside." He then headed to the quarters of Hammond and Warren.When Zeanid opened the door, the two were already awake, standing by the window with tears in their eyes as they watched the three figures outside."My wife and I will not return from this journey. Consider th

"Young man, it seems you recognize the Yin-Yang Duality Formation," Joy said in a grave tone. "This array can protect you from death. However, if you successfully merge with the White Dragon's Heart, remember—never reveal your secret to anyone."She paused, allowing the weight of her words to settle before continuing. "Once you merge with the White Dragon's Heart, your strength will break through to the Radiant Commander's level. As a Radiant Commander, you must not engage in battles with mortals lightly, or you'll invite unimaginable consequences."As she spoke, Joy slowly drew a short blade."But… haven't you two also…" Xayne hesitated. He wanted to point out that Zeanid had once helped him kill mortal enemies. Before he could finish, both Zeanid and Joy simultaneously pointed their blades at their throats."Elders! What are you doing?" Xayne exclaimed, startled by their sudden actions. 'Were they planning to take their own lives?' he thought."Xayne, we act as we do because they c
