After consuming the two Divine Fruits, Kael Draven spent an entire day and night refining their power before finally managing to condense one-third of the Desolate Divine Body.Even then, the result left him deeply astonished.He had never truly understood how powerful the Desolate Divine Body could be until he began condensing it himself. Now, with only one-third of the physique completed, Kael Draven already had the distinct feeling that even if he stood completely still and allowed martial artists below the Void Saint realm to attack him freely, they would still struggle to break through his defenses.More importantly, he knew that once the Desolate Divine Body was fully condensed, its defensive power alone could become comparable to that of the Dragon Clan.The thought was almost unbelievable.Kael Draven stretched his body with satisfaction before calculating how much time had passed. He had already spent an entire day and night on cultivation and could not afford to delay any lo

Kael Draven had originally intended to involve himself in the matter of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Ladder. However, after thinking it through carefully, he realized that with the Dragon Sect’s current strength, even if they interfered, they would accomplish very little.For now, the only force he could truly rely on was the Corpse Slave Army. Yet although the Corpse Slaves possessed undying bodies, their overall cultivation was still too low. If Kael Draven wanted to use them to compete for supremacy over the Nine Provinces, they were simply not strong enough.Left with no better choice, Kael Draven sent word to Zeric Jasper and Lucius Draven, ordering them to transfer the entire Corpse Slave Army from the City of Sin back to the Dragon Sect.During his previous stay in the City of Sin, Kael Draven had refined more than a hundred Corpse Slaves. Every one of them had been created from the corpses of Realm King or Realm Emperor spirit beasts. Combined with their undying bodies, such an ar

No matter what had happened, Evelina Drake was still Kael Draven’s mother.She nodded softly before pushing open the door and stepping inside.“Mother.”Kael Draven had sensed her presence the moment she entered. With his cultivation, few could approach him unnoticed. Yet no matter how far he rose or how great his strength became, before his mother, he was still her son—a young man not yet twenty.“Kael,” Evelina Drake said gently, “tell me what happened.”She moved to his side and sat beside the bed. Her gaze fell upon Kiera Thane, lying pale and still beneath the covers. Tears gathered in Evelina Drake’s eyes and slipped silently down her cheeks.But she did not sob.She knew her son’s grief was far deeper than her own.“Mother,” Kael Draven said after a long silence, “I will be sending Kiera Thane away from the family soon.”Evelina Drake’s expression tightened. “Where?”“To a place beyond our reach. A powerful place.” His voice was low. “She will not return for some time.”He coul

“Kael, tell me—how did you find our ancestor?”Kael Draven understood his grandfather’s excitement.Within the Draven Family, only Ardyn Draven, Kael Draven, and his elder brother knew that their ancestor still existed. Now that Ardyn Draven had met the legendary Jedrek Draven with his own eyes, how could he remain calm?Kael Draven himself had felt the same when he first encountered his ancestor. At the time, disbelief and excitement had filled his heart.He did not conceal anything. From beginning to end, he told Ardyn Draven everything that had happened.When he finished, Ardyn Draven let out a long sigh.Kael Draven had spoken calmly, but Ardyn Draven understood how perilous the situation had truly been. If Kael Ardon had been devoured by the Divine Path divine soul, the consequences would have been disastrous.Once that divine soul controlled Kael Ardon’s body, its first target would undoubtedly have been Kael Draven. Afterward, it would have turned upon the Draven Family.Fortun

The three great powers had made their intentions clear.They wanted Dante Grace dead.The Third-Level Draven Family, the Netherworld Mansion, and the Ethereal Palace each sent a Realm Emperor into White Spirit Mountain. To end the matter swiftly, the Ethereal Palace even dispatched a Half-Saint.All three powers understood the danger of Dante Grace’s corpse slave army. Its members were spirit beasts at the Realm King and Realm Emperor levels, and every one of them possessed an immortal body.Killing Dante Grace while he remained protected by such an army would not be easy.After careful discussion, the three powers settled on a plan. Their three Realm Emperors would lure the corpse slave army away, while the Half-Saint would personally deal with Dante Grace.When Dante Grace saw the Half-Saint appear before him, he froze.He knew this man.The Half-Saint was an elder of the Ethereal Palace.Once, Dante Grace himself had ruled that palace. In those days, would this elder have dared spe
