“Kael Draven!”The moment that voice echoed through the hall, Arden Thane’s face changed.Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he knew exactly who had arrived.Kael Draven was here.And that meant trouble.No one knew how powerful Kael Draven had become, but one fact was impossible to ignore—he had already slain ten Heaven Venerables and a Great Venerable. That achievement alone was enough to send chills through the hearts of countless martial artists.At the very least, Arden Thane knew he could never accomplish such a feat himself.And if things went badly today—if Kael Draven truly killed James Calder—how would the Ghost King Sect explain it to the Royal City?James Calder narrowed his eyes as he looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared.Long crimson hair flowed down his back. Fiery-scarlet brows framed a pair of sharp, unwavering eyes.Though he had never met Kael Draven before, he recognized him instantly.A sneer spread across his face.“So you're Kael Draven. I can't d

The summit of Mount Heaven pierced the clouds.The towering peak rose more than ten thousand meters above the earth, so high that the drifting sea of clouds seemed within arm's reach. The wind howled endlessly across the mountaintop, carrying an oppressive tension that made the air itself feel heavy.Today, the eyes of the entire Nine Provinces Spirit Domain were fixed on this place.The rulers of the Four Great Powers had all arrived.To the east stood the Royal City.To the west, the Third-Level Draven Family.To the south, the Netherworld Mansion.To the north, the Ethereal Palace.Every major figure who mattered was present.Among them, Douglas Thorne and Travis Draven wore particularly grim expressions.Kael Draven's rise had become a thorn lodged deep in both their hearts.At first, they had viewed him as an insignificant ant.Then he became an annoyance.Now he had become a threat.A threat that openly challenged their authority and trampled on their prestige.If Kael Draven sur

"I lost."Caius Draven said it plainly, without bitterness or anger. Just a simple statement of fact.Kael Draven immediately shook his head."No."A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips."You didn't lose."He looked straight at Caius Draven."If we're being honest, this fight was a draw. Yes, we're enemies, but that doesn't mean I can't respect you. If you hadn't sealed your cultivation, I wouldn't have stood a chance against you."Caius Draven seemed ready to argue, but Kael Draven spoke again before he could."To put it another way, we both won."He paused for a second."Or maybe we both lost."With that, he turned around and walked away.His figure vanished into the distance almost instantly.The crowd was left stunned.We both won?We both lost?What kind of answer was that?People looked at each other, confused. No one could quite figure out what Kael Draven meant. Still, since the man himself had said it, most of them eventually accepted one conclusion.The battle had en

“Eldric, what’s going on?”Kael Draven was genuinely shocked.Ever since he had obtained the Dragon Seal Space, Eldric had always been calm and composed. Seeing him this serious was rare. Very rare.Something was clearly different about the Nine Provinces Secret Realm.“Master, I’ve examined this place carefully,” Eldric said in a grave tone. “There’s definitely an Emperor’s aura here. Not just that—it’s the aura of a Titled Emperor. If my judgment is correct, this place is an Emperor’s tomb.”An Emperor?A Titled Emperor?Kael Draven frowned.Those terms meant nothing to him.Could it be that Emperors—and especially Titled Emperors—were existences beyond the Void Realm?“Eldric, what exactly are the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor?”“The Ten Realms of the Great Emperor are divided into ten ranks: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black, White, and Gold.”Kael Draven said nothing and listened.Patiently.Carefully.“You guessed correctly earlier,” Eldric continued. “The T

Neither Kael Draven nor Cinder dared let their guard down.As he fought, Kael Draven continued cutting through the endless tide of skeletons while carefully studying the battlefield around him. These creatures had to be coming from somewhere. There was no way they were appearing out of thin air.After observing for a while, he finally found the answer.So that was it.The skeletons were emerging from beneath the ground.The entire cavern was built atop an enormous burial ground, and from that graveyard, skeletons crawled out in an endless stream.Discovering their origin solved one mystery.Stopping them was another matter entirely.Fortunately, the skeletons themselves weren't particularly powerful. With Kael Draven and Cinder working together, they could still hold the situation under control.For now.A deafening dragon roar shook the cavern.Crimson energy surged across the battlefield as Cinder activated the Endless Blood Sea Diagram. The blood sea swallowed skeleton after skeleto
