On the turbulent sea, Cedric stood suspended in the air, waves roaring far below him like restless beasts. In his hands was a black Tier 3 saber, its blade faintly trembling as if eager for blood. The Tier 3 battle armor wrapped tightly around his body, radiating a faint metallic sheen. It was armor Julian had just bestowed upon him.Opposite him stood his opponent.The man was enormous, nearly six meters tall, his body built like a moving fortress. In his grasp was a long spear. The spear's tip was glowing faintly with suppressed power. Even without releasing his aura, the pressure he gave off made the air feel heavier.At Julian’s command, Cedric had been thrown directly into this battle arena to fight the second and final battle. This battle would determine whether he would lose the bet with his second brother or win.The environment of the battle arena had once again been altered into a vast ocean battlefield, with violent winds and towering waves limiting movement and visibility.

Crackle~!Crackle~A crackling sound of lightning echoed in the air while a powerful aura burst forth in the middle of the battle arena.Dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly twisted and spread across the battlefield. Electric light surged wildly, lightning snakes flowing through the air like living creatures. In just an instant, terrifying lightning energy forcefully shook the entire arena, radiating an endless destructive aura.The ocean beneath churned violently, waves exploding upward as arcs of lightning tore through the sky.Julian's pupils shrank while Yasha Ryler straightened his body. Zrake's smug smile stiffened in that moment as well.All eyes snapped back toward the battlefield.Crackle~!Crackle~!The sharp sound of lightning echoed endlessly through the air as a violent aura burst out from the center of the battlefield. Dazzling bolts of lightning twisted and spread in every direction, tearing through the sky like raging serpents. The terrifying lightning energy had alrea

Those who could touch a Law at this level were practically guaranteed to step into the Mortal Star Realm in the future. And if fate favored them, there was even a slim chance they might surpass it.Such talents were the true treasures of the Emerald Bay Domain.Julian slowly clenched his fist.If he were to resell Cedric right now, the value of a genius slave who had comprehended a Law would be terrifying. The price would easily be more than ten times that of an ordinary Awakening Realm warrior, or perhaps even higher. Every major force would scramble to bid for him."You... Ninth Brother, are you ignoring me?"Seeing that Julian wasn't responding to his words, anger flared in Zorak's heart. He couldn't help but shout while pointing at Julian.Julian finally came back to his senses.Knowing what just happened, he took a deep breath, lifted his head, and laughed loudly, his earlier heaviness swept away in an instant."Hahaha! Second Brother, no need to say so much. Anyways, a bet is a

The state of enlightenment... That was no ordinary breakthrough. It was a legendary condition when heaven and mind aligned, when perception expanded beyond limits. Even many high-level cultivators might never experience it once in their entire lives.Only the most extraordinary geniuses could step into that realm naturally.Julian stared at Cedric as if looking at a priceless treasure.Finally, he suppressed his overwhelming emotion and asked, "When exactly did you comprehend the Law? I had no idea at all."Although the slave rune could enforce obedience and suppress betrayal, it didn't grant Julian access to Cedric's memories. Cedric had also deliberately concealed his progress, never revealing anything unusual before the battle.This caused a warning to ring in Julian's mind.Cedric also understood the intention behind Julian's question. After he displayed the power of the law, he knew he would be questioned, so he had already thought of an excuse.He bowed slightly and answered cal

Inside a training room temporarily assigned to Cedric within Julian's villa in Varn City, Cedric sat cross-legged near one corner. His breathing was steady as he slowly calmed his thoughts. A faint glow pulsed from the Universe Bracelet around his wrist as he willed his consciousness to connect.[Connecting to Mirror Space…]A deep, majestic voice echoed through his mind.For an instant, everything went black.Then, countless streaks of color surged forward like a rushing tide.When his vision cleared, Cedric found himself standing in the middle of an ancient-looking city. Massive stone buildings lined both sides of the wide streets, their surfaces marked by erosion and cracks left behind by countless years. The air carried a strange blend of vitality and age, as if history itself lingered in every corner.People could be seen everywhere on the streets.They varied wildly in height, skin tone, and features, clearly belonging to many different races.Whoosh!Amid the bustling crowd, a
