And as the jade-green dragon phantom fully manifested, the medicinal fragrance grew far richer, enveloping the entire plaza.Everyone bathed in the scent wore expressions of rapture.“This is…” Surprise deepened across Albert’s face.“It is the Jade Dragon Apothecary Soul!” Vance cut in, his voice trembling with awe.“The Jade Dragon Apothecary Soul?” Albert blinked. Truth be told, he had never heard of this type of dragon soul.“Dragonkind holds countless subspecies. The Jade Dragon Apothecary is an extraordinarily rare variant, held in high esteem among all dragons. Every dragon respects it.”“It is not revered for devastating combat power. On the contrary, it is not built for combat. As its name suggests, it heals wounds and mends broken foundations for other dragons.”“Moreover, the Jade Dragon Apothecary is the only dragon subspecies born with alchemical talent. Its skill in this art rivals even humanity’s grand pill masters,” Vance explained.“A dragon skilled at refining pills?

Emily’s eyes flickered. She was about to reply when her footsteps abruptly halted. She snapped her head upward, staring toward the heavens.Albert also sensed something. He lifted his gaze, and his pupils widened in shock. Countless plumes of black smoke rose beneath the visible firmament, like endless giant black serpents surging skyward. The smoke stretched into the distance, pouring into the immense Boundary River at heaven’s edge.Beyond these black tendrils, Albert saw massive currents of water. An invisible, terrifying force took hold of them, yanking them back toward the Boundary River far overhead.The sight was magnificent yet eerie.Dennis, Silas and the other powerhouses stared at the phenomenon, wonder etched onto their faces.“The Ghost Mist flows back, ten thousand rivers return to the Boundary River.”Thomas’s voice drifted from behind. The crowd parted. He stepped forward, his gaze deep as he watched the grand omen, then his quiet tone reached every ear. “The Boundary

Albert knew such a top-tier powerhouse was none of his concern. That burden fell to Silas and Dennis.Albert’s gaze swept onward to the forces of the other two Supreme Lineages. Each was filled with powerful experts, boasting an imposing battle formation.At last, his eyes landed on another host. Its strength was no weaker than that of the Four Supreme Lineages, and among them, he spotted Freya.Indeed, this contingent belonged to Clark Chamber of Commerce.Clark Chamber of Commerce had clearly come for this Treasure Domain expedition. It was a rare opportunity, yet their approach stood apart from other factions. Where most forces sought to seize treasures within, they planned to venture in to seek out and buy artifacts. Foundation-forging spirit treasures unleash their full might only when they resonate with a cultivator’s soul.Thus they bought foundation-forging spirit treasures ill-suited to their current owners from other cultivators. Once back, these treasures would be sent to C

The black insects slid along the water sphere and burrowed straight into Euphemia’s jet-black serpent tail. A gnawing, biting sound reverberated outward.“Euphemia, you must persevere. I have poured every ounce of my effort into you.”“When you awaken next, there are only two possibilities. Either you get devoured by the All-Devouring Demon Lord’s will and turn into one of its puppet avatars. If that comes to pass, I will have no option but to destroy you.”“The other path is for you to fully devour and absorb that wisp of the All-Devouring Demon Lord’s will, and evolve into a far more perfect being.”The Eye of Spirit Hades stared fixedly at Euphemia’s sleeping face, then suddenly cracked an eerie grin. “Did you hear that? The one the Faceless King spoke of must be that Albert you know.”“What terrible luck he has, to catch Faceless’s eye.”“Thomas is powerful, but our schemes within the Boundary River Domain have been in preparation for ages. His odds of surviving this are slim.”“O

Back in the days within the Tuhest Empire, Joseph had quietly guarded the Martin clan headquarters to shield the two of them. Without the hidden deterrence of this suspected Divine Realm powerhouse lurking in the shadows, Emily and Albert might never have lasted until the clan assembly arrived.Over all these years, Joseph had sacrificed so much for them. It was high time he prioritized his own cultivation.Joseph stared at their faces, caught in a brief daze. Before he knew it, the once youthful, awkward boy and girl had grown capable of standing on their own.He no longer needed to watch over them every single moment as he once did. A warm smile crossed his rugged, fierce-looking face, and he spoke in a hearty tone. “Very well. If you hold such confidence, that’s for the best. I will wait for you deep inside the treasure domain.”Albert nodded and grinned. “Uncle Joseph, stay safe out there.”Right after that, the group of elite Divine Realm experts, led by Dennis and Silas, set off
