Kael Draven knew that his conflict with the Third-Level Draven Family had long since passed the point of reconciliation.The moment the Third-Level Draven Family joined forces with the other three great families to issue a joint kill order against him, any possibility of peace had vanished.This was no longer a grudge.It was a battle to the death."Kael Draven, what's wrong?"Noticing the seriousness in his expression, Arden Thane finally spoke.Kael Draven nodded and held nothing back. He briefly explained the history between himself and the Third-Level Draven Family, laying out the entire situation.After hearing everything, Arden Thane's brows drew together tightly."So you're saying that once the Third-Level Draven Family learns you've returned to the Dragon Sect, they'll come after you in force?"Arden Thane was no fool.He understood exactly what it meant if the Third-Level Draven Family decided to act. Combined with the Royal City, they would become an overwhelming threat.Mor

The Nine Nether Space was ruled by nine Royal Spirit Beast Clans:The Nine Nether Earth Tiger, the Abyss Scorpion, the Azure Lion, the Blood-Eyed Demon Ape, the Heavenly Mountain Bull, the Bloodthirsty Human-Faced Spider, the Gold-Devouring Flying Ant, the Hellhound, and the Death Mantis.For countless years, these nine royal clans had waged war against one another, both openly and from the shadows. Every clan dreamed of crushing its rivals and standing alone as the supreme ruler of the Nine Nether Space.Yet despite endless battles and rivers of blood, none had ever succeeded.Among them, the Nine Nether Earth Tiger Clan had once been recognized as the strongest.Its power was unmatched.Its foundation was deeper than that of any other clan.Most importantly, the clan leader of that generation possessed strength so terrifying that the other clans feared him deeply.In the end, fear united them.The remaining eight royal clans joined forces and launched a war of extermination.The res

The Nine Nether Earth Tiger Clan once stood at the very peak of the Nine Nether Space, ruling over all nine Royal Spirit Beast clans without question.Their strength was monstrous. Their foundation, unfathomably deep.No one had ever truly dared to challenge them alone.But that was all in the past.Years ago, everything changed.The eight royal clans joined forces and launched a full-scale extermination war. One clan against eight. Even under such impossible odds, the Nine Nether Earth Tigers resisted fiercely… but in the end, resistance wasn’t enough.They were wiped out.Completely erased from history.All except one survivor.Nyxar.Now, standing once more in the ruins of his homeland, Nyxar couldn’t hide the sorrow in his eyes.This should have been a place filled with pride and glory… yet all that remained was silence, coldness, and the lingering weight of blood-soaked memories.Normally, outsiders could never enter this forbidden land.But Nyxar was different. The royal blood o

The eight clan leaders stood there in complete shock.For a moment, they didn't even know how to react.Kael Draven's stream of insults had hit them like a barrage of invisible blows. These weren't the refined taunts exchanged between powerful cultivators. No, this was something entirely different.The kind of thing you'd hear in crowded streets, gambling dens, or taverns filled with drunk troublemakers.Kael Draven had learned it from the best of them.The eight clan leaders, on the other hand, were rulers of mighty clans. Throughout the Nine Nether Space, they were respected, feared, and obeyed wherever they went.Who would dare curse at them?And who could have imagined insults like these?Not one of them had ever experienced anything remotely similar."You dare court death?!"One of the clan leaders finally exploded, his face turning green with rage.Kael Draven snorted."Court your sister."The reply came so naturally that the eight leaders nearly choked on their own anger.At th

A faint smile tugged at Zeric Jasper's lips.Of course, he understood exactly what Kael Draven was doing."Brother Kael is deliberately throwing them off balance," he said calmly. "After all, he's facing ten Heaven Venerables and a Great Venerable. Against opponents like that, strength alone isn't enough."A glimmer of amusement flashed through his eyes."Let's just watch. I have a feeling this is going to be interesting."Zeric Jasper had absolute faith in Kael Draven.Just as Jack Holden had said earlier, every time Kael Draven found himself backed into a corner, he somehow managed to overturn the impossible. His victories often defied logic itself.Once could be called luck.Twice might be coincidence.But after seeing it happen again and again, nobody dared dismiss it anymore.By now, Kael Draven's miraculous reversals had become almost routine."What? Afraid?"Kael Draven's voice echoed through the air.One of the Heaven Venerables immediately snorted."Afraid? Of you?"He was ju
