There was no room left for compromise.Kael Draven knew a simple victory wouldn't be enough. If he wanted Caius Draven to truly admit defeat, he had to win so completely that there wouldn't be the slightest doubt left in his opponent's mind.With a casual flick of his wrist, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade appeared in his hand.He looked straight at Caius Draven, calm as ever."The eighth strike, Blade Piercing the Heavens, is too powerful. If I use it, you'll die." He paused for a moment before continuing. "So instead... I'll let you experience the seventh strike."A faint smile crossed his face."Heaven-Rending Earth-Breaker."Before Caius Draven could reply, an immense aura erupted from Kael Draven's body.The power of heaven and earth gathered around him like an invisible tide before flowing into the blade. In the next instant, he swung.A brilliant arc of blade light ripped across the sky. It wasn't just sharp—it felt as though it could split the heavens apart.Hiss...Hiss...Hiss..

“Innate Divine Ability?”Kael Draven was completely unfamiliar with the term Caius Draven had mentioned. He had no idea what kind of power it represented.“Caius Draven, what exactly is an Innate Divine Ability?”“Kael Draven, there is something you do not know. Do you understand the relationship between the Draven Clan and Dragon Valley?”Kael Draven shook his head.He truly knew very little about this matter. He only knew that the Draven Clan and Dragon Valley had an alliance, and throughout the entire Eryndor Continent, only disciples of the Draven Clan were qualified to enter Dragon Valley and become Dragon Warriors.“Back then, the ancestor of the Draven Clan was an unparalleled genius.”“During the ancient era, he rose to prominence like a falling star from the heavens. He joined hands with the Dragon Clan Ancestor, becoming a Dragon Warrior, and together they swept across the world, looking down upon all beneath the heavens.”Kael Draven did not need Caius Draven to explain furt

Challenge Kael Draven?Everyone stared at Olivia Dover as though she had lost her mind.Had she not noticed Edward Dover’s expression moments ago? The fear in his eyes, the unease in his voice, the tension written across his face—anyone with the slightest intelligence could see that he was deeply wary of Kael Draven.No, it went beyond wariness.Edward Dover was terrified of him.Olivia Dover, however, paid no attention to any of that. She considered herself a heaven-born genius, and her master stood among the greatest martial artists in the world. Why should she fear an inexperienced young man like Kael Draven?Perhaps she would not have been so confident if she knew what he had accomplished.“Olivia, that is enough!” Edward Dover rebuked her.He then turned to Kael Draven and lowered his voice. “Sect Master Kael, please forgive her. My daughter is young and ignorant. I hope you will not take her childish behavior to heart.”Olivia Dover could hardly believe what she was seeing. Her f

“Impossible. Aria Stormveil would never do such a thing.”Kael Draven’s answer came without hesitation.His faith in Aria Stormveil had never wavered. For ten years, he had remained devoted to her, and she had waited just as faithfully for him. She had even been willing to sacrifice her beauty for his sake.How could a woman like that cast aside an old love for someone new?It was impossible.“Anything is possible in this world, Kael Draven,” Olivia Dover replied. “Senior Sister is no longer the girl you once knew. She has seen how vast the world truly is. Do you honestly believe she is still the same innocent young woman you remember?”Before Kael Draven could respond, she continued.“Even if Senior Sister’s feelings for you have not changed, the sect will never allow the two of you to be together.”“Why?”A dangerous chill entered Kael Draven’s gaze. Even so, he restrained his anger. He still did not know which sect Aria Stormveil belonged to, much less where it was located. Losing

The soul of the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox had been refined into pure energy. Kael Draven gave two-thirds of that power to the five Great Emperors and kept the remaining third for himself.According to his calculations, absorbing this energy would allow him to reach the peak of the Realm King Realm. Whether he could advance to the Realm Emperor Realm, however, remained uncertain.Three full days passed.Kael Draven smiled helplessly. After absorbing the soul energy, his cultivation had advanced exactly as expected, bringing him to the peak of the Realm King Realm.He appeared to be only one step away from the next realm, but that single step represented an enormous gulf.A peak Realm King and an early-stage Realm Emperor were two entirely different existences. They could not be compared.Inside the Dragon Seal Space, Kael Draven looked at Eldric.“Eldric, can I truly condense an innate divine ability now?”“Yes. The God-Locking Pearl and the God-Slaying Mirror have both been completely ref
