Chapter570 The Desolate Island had become a scar upon the sea. The central crater now consumed nearly three quarters of the landmass. Only jagged rings of broken terrain remained around the edges, barely clinging to structural integrity. The ocean roared inward through fissures, swallowing what remained of collapsed buildings and shattered towers. Above the dying island, Felix and Arman continued to clash. They had long abandoned restraint. Solar arcs collided with crimson sword waves. Lunar crescents sliced through space only to be shredded by counter slashes. Every collision distorted the air like cracked glass. But now, something had changed. Their movements were still lethal. Still precise.Still devastating. Yet both men were breathing harder. Arman’s chest rose and fell more noticeably. Felix’s shoulders carried faint tension from prolonged energy circulation. They had exchanged hundreds of moves.Each technique required immense martial energy. Each defense cost c

Chapter572 For a few long seconds after releasing the soul search, Felix simply stood there. The storm around the Desolate Island had weakened to scattered winds and broken clouds. The artificial eclipse was gone. The ocean’s roar was louder now that the battle had ended. In his mind, however, the echoes of Arman’s memories still lingered. Imperial halls. A throne room. A disappointed father. A younger brother crowned. An elder brother cast aside. Felix had expected to find something else. A meeting.An order or a command regarding Serena. A shadow directive involving Shadow Mask. But there had been nothing. No trace of Serena. No hint of a kidnapping plan. Arman had committed countless crimes, but this one… did not belong to him. Felix exhaled quietly. Disappointment touched him not because Arman was innocent, but because the lead he had pursued had led nowhere. His gaze shifted slightly. Not far away, half buried under collapsed debris near the crater’s edge, Sha

Chapter574 He walked slowly around them as if inspecting trophies. “Empress of Victorium,” he said, stopping in front of Serena. “You know, I always wondered what kind of woman could tame a man like Felix.” Serena’s eyes sharpened.If not for the cloth covering her mouth, she would have responded. Light leaned closer.“Still looking proud,” he muttered. “You must think he’s coming for you.” He straightened. “Let me tell you something.”He paced casually. “Felix destroyed my future.”His smile faltered slightly. “He ruined my name. My inheritance. My place in society.” His tone darkened. “Do you know what it feels like to be erased from your own family?”Christene glared at him.Light laughed softly. “You don’t, do you?”He crouched slightly in front of Serena.“Felix thinks he’s untouchable. Like he decides who rises and who falls.” He tapped Serena’s shoulder lightly. “But even Titans bleed.”His expression twisted into something resentful. “I want him to feel what I felt.

Chapter576 The Desolate Island was quiet.The storm that had once shielded it had thinned into scattered winds. The crater carved by the battle lay still, filled partially with seawater that had begun to creep inward through fractured rock. Felix stood at the center of the devastation. The bodies of Arman and Shadow Mask lay unmoving among broken stone and shattered structures. The Sun Moon Order was gone. But the war was not over. Felix lowered himself onto a remaining slab of stone and closed his eyes. His breathing slowed deliberately. His meridians still throbbed faintly from the violent dual Martial Law release. Although the cooldown had allowed him to access annihilation and channeling again, forcing both at once under exhaustion had strained him. He circulated his martial energy carefully.Layer by layer. His injuries were minor, but his internal reserves had been heavily taxed.He did not rush the process. He sat there for nearly an hour. The wind moved around h

Chapter578 The Imperial Palace of the Imperium had always been a place of order. Every stone in its towering walls reflected authority. Every corridor echoed with discipline. Even the air itself seemed to carry the weight of centuries of power. But that order shattered in a single moment. The sky above the palace distorted violently as a streak of compressed air tore through the clouds. The disturbance did not resemble ordinary flight. It was as if the sky itself had been ripped open. A thunderous boom shook the entire palace complex. Windows rattled. Pillars vibrated. Guards instinctively grabbed their weapons as the courtyard trembled beneath their feet. A figure appeared in the sky. It was none other than Felix who landed in the central courtyard of the imperial palace. Christene appeared beside him a fraction of a second later. The ground beneath Felix’s boots cracked outward like a spider web as the pressure of his arrival spread through the marble courtyard. But it
