Albert quickly shook his head and said, "That’s enough, enough. Though these Star Pearls hold pure energy, there should be a saturation limit within a certain period of time. Besides, your Peerless Path demands massive resources right now. If you hold back your own progress for my sake, I’ll never be able to live with myself."Isabel and Nitya shuddered. Forget it, they’d better go cultivate. They didn’t want to stand here and get hit by this heavy dose of romance.So they both turned and fled.Albert let out a helpless smile, while Emily spoke up with a warning. "Tina has proven her worth this time. The Dragonblood Wardens will want even more to drive her out of the Dragontooth Guard."Albert nodded slightly. "You mean the wager?"If the Dragonblood Wardens wanted to oust Tina, they would have no choice but to make their move during that wager."I’ll refine as many Star Pearls as I can over this period to boost my strength."Albert understood what Emily was hinting at. After all, the

As Albert finished his cultivation, out at the transit teleport city on the outer edge of the Boundary River Domain, a massive dragon boat flying the banner of Sovereign Martin’s clan cut through the sky and departed under countless watching eyes.On the vessel’s spacious bow, several figures stood with hands clasped behind their backs, gazing at the daunting, vast Boundary River stretching across the firmament.At their head stood an upright, imposing middle‑aged man — Silas, Grand Master of the Golden Blood Institute of the Dragonblood Lineage.Beside him were Dennis, Cyrus, and the institute masters of the other three Guards, all present.Silas pulled his gaze away from the Boundary River and turned to Dennis with a smile. “This is Thomas, Lineage Head of the Dragontooth Line’s turn to guard Heavenly Dragon Ridge. Why is the old master not traveling with us?”Dennis replied with a hearty laugh. “How should I know? The old man appears and vanishes like a divine dragon. I rarely get

Yet before this black water that struck fear into countless God Realm cultivators, not a single ripple crossed Thomas’s aged face. Above his head, two layers of wondrous, vast and majestic crowns materialized.The crowns exuded an extremely ancient aura, as if embodying the primal qi from the birth of heaven and earth. Every rune etched upon them represented a fundamental source of power.Pure luminous qi streamed downward, and an unparalleled, supreme majesty filled the whole world.The God Platforms summoned by the Supreme Bruce Clan’s God Realm experts floating above the city let out fearful wails. They trembled violently before shrinking back out of control.Other God Realm cultivators also sensed their unsummoned God Platforms whimpering, as if they dared not manifest, terrified of offending the authority of this sovereign.This sight shocked many rogue God Realm cultivators. Was this the true power of a sovereign? Before him, even God Platforms of the God Realm were suppressed.

Noah nodded and sighed, “The Saint Spirit Realm truly is an unbelievable state. Once you step into it, you truly transcend mortality and become a saint.”As the two talked, the Blackwater Divinization Array above Abyss City was running at full power. Black surging waves rolled forth, neutralizing the aftershocks from the clash between the two Double-Crowned Kings. Even so, the massive city kept trembling. Many God Realm experts inside were terrified. They were powerful figures in their own right on normal days, yet now the mere residual force from the two kings’ fight filled them with dread.After all, if those shockwaves spread downwards, they would wipe every last one of them out.Countless gazes looked up in awe at the collision in the sky. Thunderfire, golden dragons, and thunder bamboo ravaged wildly, drawing spiritual energy from tens of thousands of miles around into the fight.Weston’s cold voice boomed across heaven and earth. “Thomas, you need to leave. Keep pushing this, an

Above the sky outside Abyss City, four figures tore through the void behind Thomas. The one leading them was none other than Louis, lineage head of the Dragon Blood Lineage.The other three were Madeleine, lineage head of the Dragon Scale Lineage; Osborne, lineage head of the Dragon Bone Lineage; and Roderick, lineage head of the Dragon Horn Lineage.Thomas had stirred up such an enormous commotion that it drew the gaze of countless Saint Spirit Realm experts across Tianyuan Divine Continent. Now that the kings of the Supreme Bruce Clan had arrived, the Supreme Martin Clan naturally had to stand behind Thomas, no matter what.After all, fierce as the five lineages’ internal competition might be on ordinary days, they had to unite against outside foes at a time like this.Once the four lineage heads appeared, they all looked toward Thomas with somewhat complicated expressions.“Lineage Head Thomas, you have hidden your strength far too deeply. Before anyone realized it, you have touche
