"Wild Fang Strike!”Blood-red energy gathered, forming the phantom of a gigantic wolf that roared ferociously. Its massive form stretched hundreds of meters into the sky, compressing the air around it until it trembled violently. In the eyes of the spectators, Javon appeared no more than dust before such a creature.Darius laughed coldly. This technique of the Lincoln family stood at Silver Tier – Mid. Even an ordinary Celestial expert would suffer severe injuries if struck head-on.Yet Javon remained motionless. The tip of the Azure Skyburn Spear moved slowly, tracing a circle in the air.Cracks appeared in empty space, and something stirred within the fissure.A golden dragon emerged. Its body was solid, its scales reflecting light like living metal. It stretched for hundreds of meters, its aura both majestic and terrifying.The sky itself seemed to freeze.When the dragon opened its jaws, the wolf phantom was swallowed instantly, without resistance.“What… is this…”Darius staggere

Not long after, Seraphiel lifted Theron’s body from the ground. Even Javon fell silent at the sight. The man who had once radiated authority was now almost unrecognizable.Half of Theron’s face was destroyed, his cheekbone fully exposed, blood still flowing without end. Not a trace of arrogance remained.“You’re not as strong as I thought, Theron,” Seraphiel said with a faint smile. His tone was light, as if what had just happened were nothing more than a trivial matter. “I didn’t even use half my strength.”Theron’s eyes burned with anger and hatred, but his body could no longer respond. His ruined lips moved slowly.“Are… you satisfied now?”The hoarse, distorted voice made the atmosphere even heavier.Seraphiel merely nodded casually. He waved his hand as if dismissing an insect. “Leave. If you dare return again, the Vane family will cease to exist.”The threat was spoken without emotion, which made it all the more terrifying.Theron suppressed his fury. Without another word, he li

Before truly leaving the Skymer region, Javon made a stop at Sanctum Alchemica.Inside the Alchemy Association’s reception hall, Magnus frowned upon hearing the request. “You want a map of the main territories? And your destination is Ciderion?”Javon nodded. “I’m only leaving temporarily. Without a map, the journey would be far too dangerous.”Telavip City was vast beyond measure. Without clear direction, one could wander for a lifetime.“I don’t have a map of the entire main continent,” Magnus said as he took a scroll from his storage ring. “But this covers the southern regions. It should be enough.”Javon accepted it without objection.Magnus studied him for a moment before smiling in admiration. “Only a month, and you’ve already reached the Celestial realm. A genius in alchemy and in martial cultivation as well. The so-called Ten Geniuses of Skymer sound like a joke now.”Javon merely smiled faintly. Magnus was wise enough not to ask about the secret behind his progress.After bid

The woman hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. “Sir, it seems this is your first time entering this desert. The sea of sand here is vast, and storms can appear without warning. Without someone who knows the routes, it’s very easy to get lost.”Javon raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew she was not lying.Since entering the desert, he had followed the direction indicated on the map. Yet strangely, every few hours he found himself returning to places that felt the same. The endless stretch of sand stripped direction of meaning, as if the entire region were deliberately misleading anyone who crossed it.The map he carried had become nearly useless.Seeing Javon fall silent, the woman quickly continued, “If you don’t mind, I can guide you. I know this area fairly well. At the very least, I can lead you out of the desert.”She concealed her true intention behind the offer. After witnessing Javon’s strength, she understood that staying near him was the safest way to survive.“I’m

Javon immediately understood the situation. The attendant was merely an extension of the young man behind him.“Whether I can pay or not is none of your concern.” Javon’s tone remained calm, yet cold.The attendant instantly flared up. “Do you know who you’re talking to? This is Young Master Rhevan Solrik, the ruler here! Watch your attitude!”He then turned with a flattering smile. “Young Master is only conducting a routine patrol. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this outsider.”Rhevan nodded casually, clearly enjoying the situation.Javon sneered inwardly. The scheme was too crude to be called subtle.“Pay quickly,” the attendant urged again. “Five hundred! Otherwise, get out now.”Javon stared at the two of them for several seconds, then took out a storage pouch.“Are you sure you want to accept it?”The pouch opened.Aetherstone shimmered inside, far exceeding five hundred. Thousands of stones were packed within.The attendant froze instantly, and even Rhevan swallowed hard. As a young r
