One day later.Third-Level Draven FamilyInside the main hall, Travis Draven's face was unusually grim.The message Douglas Thorne had sent had shaken him to his core. He had never imagined that Kael Draven could possibly be the reincarnation of a martial artist. If that speculation proved true, then everything had changed.The situation had become far more dangerous than anyone had anticipated."Sect Master," Corvis Draven said hesitantly, "could Douglas Thorne be mistaken?"Travis Draven slowly shook his head."No. I've heard stories like this before. Once a martial artist reaches the Nirvana Rebirth Realm, they can condense the Heaven and Earth Aura. Even if their physical body perishes, they can use that aura to force their soul into reincarnation while sealing away the memories of their previous life."Corvis Draven frowned."Does every martial artist succeed?""No."Travis Draven answered without hesitation."The success rate is only one in ten."Corvis Draven's expression change

"What's going on here?"The five men spoke coldly, not even bothering to glance at Kael Draven or Tia Blanco.The moment Tia Blanco saw them, her expression changed. She repeatedly signaled Kael Draven with her eyes. Within the City of Sin, aside from the Five Emperors themselves, no one wielded greater authority than the City Guards.Unfortunately, Kael Draven acted as though he hadn't seen her at all.Tia Blanco grew so anxious she was on the verge of exploding."Captain Crowe," one of the gatekeepers reported immediately, "this man has no respect for the rules of the City of Sin. He refuses to pay the entrance f*e in beast pills but insists on entering the city.""Oh?"Sebastian Crowe raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had never expected someone to dare stir up trouble in the City of Sin.What kind of place was this?Here, even killing a person was no different from crushing an ant."If you won't pay the beast pills, then get lost.""The City of Sin has no place for people like you."

With a City Guard standing behind them, the two gatekeepers feared nothing.Within the City of Sin, only the Five Emperors held greater authority than the City Guards.Who would dare provoke them?Victor Ashford didn't take Kael Draven seriously in the slightest.He had dealt with countless newcomers before. Those who came from the outside were always defiant at first. Beat them a few times—or simply kill one—and the rest would quickly learn their place.A faint smile curled across his lips."Kael Draven," he said, "this estate belongs to me.""It's a fine place, isn't it?"Kael Draven had already expected as much. His expression remained calm."So what if it belongs to you?""I only know one thing.""I paid thirty-five thousand beast pills for this estate.""If you want it back, that's fine.""Bring me one hundred thousand beast pills, and I'll hand it over.""Kael Draven, you're asking to die!"One of the gatekeepers exploded in rage."You actually dare extort our boss? Have you gro

Kael Draven had already absorbed nearly a quarter of the refined soul energy when something within him finally shifted.The Heaven Venerable Golden Pill in his dantian underwent a complete transformation, breaking through its limits and evolving into a Great Venerable Golden Pill.Even so… he didn’t stop.Not even for a second.The remaining soul energy kept flooding into his body like an endless tide, pushing his cultivation higher and higher at a shocking pace.And he wasn’t the only one benefiting from it.Cinder and Nyxar also completed their breakthroughs. Both of them stepped into the realm of Great Venerable Spirit Beasts, their auras surging outward violently, thick with pressure that made the surrounding space feel heavier.During all of this, Kael Draven stayed completely focused. Every surge of power inside him was carefully controlled and refined. He wasn’t going to let his foundation become unstable—not after coming this far. If it collapsed later, fixing it would take fa

After taking down Sebastian Crowe and the five Great Venerable martial artists, Kael Draven finally had a real feel for what “Great Venerable strength” actually meant.And honestly? The conclusion was simple—he was strong. Really strong.As long as he didn’t run into a Realm King or Realm Emperor, he could basically move through the world without much fear.Against any Great Venerable, he now had absolute confidence. And if he added things like the God-Locking Pearl or Soul Attack into the mix… well, the outcome would probably get even more terrifying.City GuardsIn the City of Sin, the real heavyweight force—besides the Five Great Emperors—was the City Guards.According to Tia Blanco, the Five Great Emperors technically ruled the city, but they rarely bothered with day-to-day affairs. Over time, that left the City Guards running most things on the ground.So after thinking it through, Kael Draven made his decision.If he wanted control of the City of Sin, he would start with them.G
