And Albert clearly did not have that much time to waste on a Heavenly Dragon Battle Body.So if he truly wanted to awaken the Heavenly Dragon Battle Body to its complete level, the ninth round was probably the most direct path. Of course, that was on the premise that he could pass it.But in any case, he had barely made it through the Dragon Ascent and forged the Nine‑Scale Dragon Seal. To give up the ninth round so easily would truly be a waste of all his previous efforts.Therefore, after a moment of thought, Albert looked up toward the mist-shrouded void. High in the sky, he could vaguely sense the presence of many vast and powerful auras.Albert cupped his hands and asked,What form will the ninth round take?The ninth round has no fixed format. It will be decided by drawing lots.As the majestic voice sounded, a golden light descended, forming an energy lot tube in front of Albert. Inside were several light lots. He hesitated slightly, reached out, and randomly chose one.The lig

While Albert was still startled, Andrew, who had retreated, felt the two brilliant celestial stars behind him tremble violently. Heaven and earth energy roared toward him madly.Andrew’s soul power fluctuations rose steadily at this moment.He closed his five fingers and formed a strange seal with his fingertips—a kind of fist seal.Behind Andrew, a coiled, illusory dragon shadow emerged, exuding endless majesty. The moment this dragon shadow appeared, everyone present who carried the blood of the Five Heavenly Dragon Veins felt a faint, oppressive force.Heavenly Dragon Soul!At the sight of Andrew’s starting fist seal, Albert froze slightly—he was not unfamiliar with it. He had seen Andrew use it before when sparring with Charlotte.This was Andrew’s signature move.Divine Art: Hundred Battles Dragon Fist.Back in the Newhurst Empire, countless god-tier powerhouses had been left terrified by this single punch.As Andrew assumed the fist seal, the energy of heaven and earth boiled an

Albert landed on the cracked stone platform, his face slightly pale, but his eyes shimmered with shock and ecstasy. For the very first appearance of the Water Dragon Tooth Sword had created an astonishing impact.Was this the so-called Peerless Nascent Art?With this strike, even an ordinary Two-Star Celestial Star would not dare to challenge its edge!The cost was enormous, yet it was all worth it.Albert looked cheerfully at the spot where Andrew’s figure had vanished and muttered to himself:When I meet Sister Emily next time, I’ll be able to tell her that I once easily cut down my father in his youth.He imagined that by then, she would surely look at him with shock and admiration.While Albert was marveling at his own achievement, the high-ranking elders of the various veins watching from the clouds above fell into silence. Even though all present were god-level powerhouses, the sword strike Albert had just unleashed left them solemn.That terrifying sword energy was by no means

Thinking of this, many felt a tinge of regret.Yet they also knew it was being overly critical. Albert’s current achievement was already more than enough to inspire the Dragon Tooth Vein.Congratulations to Legion Commander Albert for claiming the position of Dragon Head! Honoring the might of our Dragon Tooth Vein!On the square, tens of thousands of members from the Four Legions finally calmed down somewhat, yet they could not hide their excitement. Their cheers rose and fell as they shouted to Albert.Even the members of the Fourth Academy Legion, who regarded the First Academy Legion as rivals, were completely convinced by this congratulatory cry.Facing countless excited gazes, Albert smiled and cupped his hands in return. He knew that after this battle, his prestige among the younger generation of the Dragon Tooth Vein had risen completely. Before, Babel had still been able to stand on equal footing with him—especially in the Fourth Academy Legion, where Babel’s prestige had eve

Back then, all factions fought fiercely, locked in an all-out struggle. Even powerhouses like us at the Holy Spirit Realm stepped in. Only when the Cave Heavenly Secret Realm showed signs of collapsing did everyone rein in their attacks. After lengthy negotiations, the top forces agreed to seal it off and explore it jointly—no single faction could claim exclusive control.Albert was secretly astonished. Even Holy Spirit Realm powerhouses had been mobilized; that showed just how much all forces valued the Cave Heavenly Secret Realm.The Cave Heavenly Secret Realm naturally generates many talismans every once in a while. These talismans serve as keys and passes to enter the cave. Most of these keys are seized by the powerhouses stationed there by the major factions. Still, by agreement, the factions do not take everything—some are left scattered for loose cultivators with good fortune. This avoids resentment over us monopolizing the opportunities and barring others.Thomas went on:Thes
