Kael Draven showed no mercy.His blade descended, carrying with it the boundless might of heaven and earth.It was a strike that shook the heavens and made ghosts and gods tremble.It was a strike filled with overwhelming bloodlust.This was the strongest technique of the Dragon Sect, a blade whose power seemed capable of sweeping away everything in its path.Crack!Crack!Crack!Shrill cries echoed across the desolate land as spirit beasts were swallowed one after another by the devastating blade light.The eight clan leaders and the eight Void Saints had reacted quickly enough to escape. Otherwise, every spirit beast present might have perished beneath that single strike.The survivors belonged to the Eight Royal Clans:The Abyss Scorpion Clan.The Azure Lion Clan.The Blood-Eyed Demon Ape Clan.The Heavenly Mountain Bull Clan.The Bloodthirsty Human-Faced Spider Clan.The Gold-Devouring Flying Ant Clan.The Hellhound Clan.The Death Mantis Clan.The eight clan leaders stared at the

Hearthford Province, Cloud City.As the largest city in Hearthford, Cloud City was a thriving center of trade and prosperity. Its broad streets were packed with bustling crowds, and an endless stream of merchants, travelers, and local residents passed through the city from dawn until nightfall.Without deliberately planning their route, Kael Draven and Kiera Thane had wandered into Hearthford and eventually arrived at Cloud City, where they decided to remain for a few days.This journey had never been about reaching a particular destination. They simply traveled wherever the road led them and stayed wherever they happened to find themselves.“I want to buy some rouge and face powder,” Kiera Thane said as they walked through the crowded streets. “Wait for me at the restaurant.”Kael Draven nodded. “Be careful. I will order the food and wait for you there.”He was not particularly worried about her safety. With Kiera Thane’s cultivation, she was already considered a powerful martial arti

“Stubbornness over reason?”As Tristan Vale stared at the young man before him, an inexplicable trace of unease rose within his heart.He immediately cursed himself for showing fear. With a cold snort, he said, “I would like to see how you intend to prove that the Cloud Sect refuses to see reason.”The moment those words left his mouth, Tristan Vale lunged forward. Before his body had even reached Kael Draven, his palm was already descending with terrifying force.Kael Draven, however, did not move.Tristan Vale’s anger surged when he saw this. From his perspective, Kael Draven’s calm behavior was nothing less than open contempt. The young man clearly did not regard him as a threat.As a Heaven Venerable martial artist, Tristan Vale possessed complete confidence in his strength. He believed that a single palm strike would be enough to erase Kael Draven from existence.Yet Kael Draven remained seated throughout the attack. He calmly raised the wine cup in his hand and took a small sip,

“Old Ancestor?”The moment Tristan Vale and the others heard that Alistair Vale intended to summon the Old Ancestor, all three were stunned.Cloud Sect’s true Old Ancestor had not appeared for countless years.That was exactly why none of them had ever imagined Alistair Vale would actually dare disturb him.No one spoke.Suppressing their excitement, the three silently followed Alistair Vale deeper into the rear mountain.The farther they went, the quieter the surroundings became.The dense silence hanging over the mountain made the place feel cold, eerie, and strangely oppressive.At last, Alistair Vale stopped.He bowed deeply.“Disciple Alistair Vale respectfully requests the Old Ancestor to appear.”For a moment, there was no response.Then a deep, imposing voice echoed through the mountain.“Alistair Vale, did I not tell you never to disturb my cultivation?”Alistair Vale’s expression changed instantly.He bowed even lower.“Old Ancestor, a Dragon Warrior has appeared. His cultiv

“Kael Draven, I’ll give you a chance. Summon your companion. I want to see for myself whether a Dragon Warrior is truly as powerful as the legends claim.”Kael Draven understood the Moon-Howling Demon Wolf’s intentions perfectly. The beast had no real interest in testing the strength of a Dragon Warrior. What it truly wanted was Cinder’s blood and soul, hoping to use the power of a true dragon to break through the final barrier and enter the Saint realm.Facing a top-tier Saint Beast, Kael Draven did not dare underestimate his opponent in the slightest. He knew better than anyone that the coming battle would be dangerous. Against an existence like the Moon-Howling Demon Wolf, victory was far from certain, and either side could lose their life.The demon wolf stared at him mockingly. “Are you afraid?”Kael Draven gave a cold laugh. “I, Kael Draven, have never known the meaning of fear. Moon-Howling Demon Wolf, before long, I’ll use your blood to show the world that no one may defy my Dr
