Chapter 3321
A massive surge of energy erupted from the back of the Umbral Peak Sect's mountain, shooting straight toward the front in an instant.The Eastern Wanderer, Byron Ashby, had arrived!Andrew stood on top of a withered tree, his greatsword gleaming faintly as he watched the figure emerge. The man had long salt-and-pepper hair and, much like Monty, dressed in a scholar-style robe. He was handsome, almost refined. However, beneath that polished exterior ran a current of pure malice."To think such prime offerings would walk right up the mountain… Breaking out of seclusion was absolutely worth it," Byron murmured, his lips tinged with an unnatural shade of purple. "He was not even looking at Andrew. His eyes were locked on Nyx, Valerie, and Rowan, and the corner of his mouth curled into a crooked smile.Andrew knew exactly what the man meant by "offerings," and it made his blood run cold. Byron was practically legendary in the world of dual cultivation. He was a master of the dark

Andrew let out a cold shout, his expression arrogant and commanding. It was perfect timing, because ever since breaking into the Beyond Mortal realm, he had not met an actual opponent he could fight without holding back. Byron had clearly been hiding his strength, and only after running into Andrew today had he finally revealed it.With this level of power, there was no way he was just a senior member of Umbral Peak Sect. He might very well have been the true hidden leader behind the entire sect. What made Andrew even more certain was the look on Monty's face. Monty was shocked that Byron's strength far exceeded anything he had known. Although Byron had always been stronger than him, it had never been by such an outrageous margin. Moreover, Monty was supposed to be his senior. A massive pillar of sword energy came crashing down from above.Monty let out a strangled grunt and was sent flying backward, smashing through a vast stretch of withered forest before he hit the groun

Byron cackled, his voice dripping with twisted delight. "Think you can run from it? These desires come from inside you, from your own body, your own heart. The Demonic Art reaches beyond death itself. There is no escaping it."He let out a cold, satisfied sneer. Suddenly, a massive cloud of black mist, threaded through with a sickly pink haze, exploded outward and blanketed the entire sky above the Umbral Peak Sect.Instantly, the disciples below began to unravel. Some howled, while others gasped and panted like animals. The ones with stronger discipline dropped to the ground and sat cross-legged, gritting their teeth and barely holding on, while the weaker ones collapsed entirely, writhing across the dirt in ways that no one should have to witness.Monty's face had gone a shade of furious and desperate that Andrew had never seen on him before. He roared, "Have you lost your mind? Stop the Demonic Art! Your own disciples are being destroyed by it!"Byron did not even flinch. From

It was Iridessa of the Eastonia royal family, a top-tier female covert artist. She was also Vance's biological sister.She was the one who had once taken on Nyx's appearance and shared an unexpected, intoxicating night with Andrew. When the deception was uncovered, Andrew had let her go. So why was she surfacing now, here, in his own mind, and in an image like that?From some detached, out-of-body angle, Andrew watched himself pin Iridessa down and take her, fully and without restraint. She moved beneath him, endlessly flexible, impossibly soft, clinging close and whispering in a voice like a warm breeze in the dead of night, gentle on the surface and laced with temptation underneath. Then, the scene cut, and Andrew's grip on himself slipped another notch.Byron's laughter filled his ears. It sounded grating, obscene, and delighted.He crooned, "Sink deeper. Oh, this is delightful… What a rich, complicated soul you are. I've taken the lives of countless people with this techniq

Andrew's thoughts were in complete chaos as he wondered what was going on. He could understand why Iridessa would appear. After all, they had once shared an intimate night.However, why were Victoria, Brielle, and Tiana appearing in his mind as well?Even if it had been Lauren, Francesca, or Nyx, he could have explained it to himself.Did that mean these were emotions and desires buried so deep inside him that even he had never noticed them?Byron let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "Confused, aren't you? Can't quite make sense of it? Good. That's exactly the point. I take the things you've told yourself you'd never do, the lines you swore you'd never cross, and I plant them so deep in your mind that they start to feel like your own thoughts."I make you fall. I make you let go. I make you enjoy everything you once fought so hard to resist. When a man's limits and moral boundaries are shattered, is he still human? No. He becomes something beyond that. Something like a god." He added

Andrew was overwhelmed with fear, cold sweat pouring down his back. He watched helplessly as Tiana slipped off her last piece of clothing.Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her waist. Biting her lower lip, she moved against him as if riding a horse.Andrew's thoughts grew more chaotic by the second, and an icy chill spread through his entire body. He knew this was the sign that his mind was about to collapse completely.If that happened, he would become a creature ruled by madness. He would fall under Byron's control, becoming nothing more than his puppet.A massive black void opened beneath him, and he felt gravity take hold. He was falling, and at the bottom were even more faces, all turning toward him with expressions ranging from shy affection to longing to outright devotion.There were Bridget, Arya, and Elaine. Each of them was barely dressed, bodies on full display, utterly shameless in their invitation. Some of the figures turned and showed him everything;

Byron's body fell toward the ground below, but before it even hit, it crumbled into ashes and vanished into thin air. The black fog that had blanketed the entire Umbral Peak Sect slowly faded, revealing a dark, battered landscape that no longer looked like the end of the world."The Patriarch is dead? Just like that?" Monty muttered to himself. He threw down his sword and tried to run, but Andrew slashed his blade down, blocking the only path Monty could take. Monty let out a painful grunt and was sent flying, crashing hard onto the ground. Clutching his chest as blood poured from his mouth, he gasped, "Andrew, are you really going to wipe us all out?"Andrew's greatsword was already pressed against the center of his forehead, and his eyes were ice cold. "You deserve to die, and I did want to end you with one strike, but I am giving you one last chance."He asked, "Will the Umbral Peak Sect join the fight?"Monty roared hoarsely, "Umbral Peak Sect will follow your lead. You c

Andrew's next stop was Harmony Sect, and it was also his final stop. As for the Eight Ancient Sects, he had now "invited" all the ones he needed.Though calling it an invitation was stretching the definition more than a little.Clarence and his men parted ways with Andrew at the base of the Umbral Peak Sect. "Captain, we will be waiting at Azure Gate for you to take command," Clarence said, giving a sharp salute.After witnessing Andrew kill Byron and then cut down Julius with a single strike, they were overwhelmed with excitement. That absolute dominance and unstoppable momentum were exactly the kind of battlefield presence soldiers like Clarence dreamed of.Andrew, however, did not mention how close the fight had truly been. He simply nodded calmly and said, "Clarence, you and your team monitor the people from the Umbral Peak Sect and the Divine Alchemists as they head to Azure Gate. I'll need another two days before I arrive."Clarence replied, "Understood, Captain. We will m

At the same time, deep within a hidden paradise-like realm, the scenery was breathtaking. The mountains were lush and green, streams flowed gently, and the air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers.Young women who looked like they'd stepped out of a fairytale wandered through the flower beds. Some were gathering blossoms, others just enjoying the sunshine. A few knelt by the water's edge, washing their clothes in the stream, their movements graceful and unhurried.Not a single man could be seen anywhere.Beyond this heavenly stretch of land stood rows of delicate, villa-style buildings, and at the center rose a grand hall. This was the headquarters of the Harmony Sect.The leader of the Harmony Sect, Dorothy Fontaine, sat elegantly on a snow-white chair, dressed in a soft yellow gown. Her slender fingers, pale as porcelain, slowly stretched out before she lifted a cup of floral tea and took a gentle sip.She set the cup down with a satisfied smile, her lips curling in a g

Dorothy looked at the opposing elder and said calmly, "Elder Cantino, you're fully aware of Andrew's current strength. Do you really think opposing him would make a difference?"Giovanni Cantino snapped angrily, "Even if Andrew were some divine being descended from heaven, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? The Eight Ancient Sects are bound together. If we unite, I refuse to believe we can't stand against him."Dorothy's voice remained clear and steady. "I just received news that Andrew has already wiped out the Umbral Peak Sect. The Divine Alchemists' sect leader, Julius Bowen, was killed on the spot at the Umbral Peak Sect. On top of that, Byron Ashby of Umbral Peak Sect was also killed. Elder Cantino, do you still wish to object?"Giovanni's face changed dramatically, fear and disbelief flooding his expression. "Even someone as strong as Julius was killed? Is Andrew truly that terrifying?"A faint, almost dreamy look surfaced in Dorothy's luminous eyes as she said softl
