As Candra stepped down calmly, followed by several of his subordinates dragging body bags and piles of captives bound in Qi-suppressing chains…At the same time—Willy crawled forward with what little strength he had left. His dimming eyes widened as he saw the faces emerging from the helicopter cabin.“Th-that’s Captain Joran? General Kael? Why… why are they injured?!” Willy screamed hoarsely.The hundreds of Body-Qi Unification cultivators he had been waiting for—the ones he had cultivated through countless sacrifices—now looked like helpless piles of flesh. Their bodies were swollen from internal energy explosions, their meridians forcibly severed, and their high-tech armor had been stripped down to dangling wires.Candra stopped right in front of Alex and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.“Reporting, Young Master. All of Prince Willy’s forces have been captured as ordered… and the Divine Stone has been delivered to the Draken City residence,” Candra reported firmly.“Good, Ca

The awkward, heart-pounding atmosphere of that night was eventually replaced by the break of dawn. However, the peace within the Twin Dragon Palace did not last long.That morning, an emergency scroll sealed with red wax arrived on Queen Auriel’s desk. Its contents were so urgent that the Queen was forced to postpone several wedding preparations and convene an impromptu meeting in the main hall with the elders of Heliox.The hall, usually magnificent, was now filled with a thick aura of panic. White-bearded elders whispered among themselves with tense expressions, while several ministers broke into cold sweats as they clutched reports in their hands.“A disaster, Your Majesty! This is truly a disaster!” cried the Grand Elder at the front as he bowed deeply.“An unknown black plague has erupted in the Sacred River Province. In less than twenty-four hours, thousands of our people have fallen! Their skin is blistering, and it is said that the disease rapidly devours their internal organs

Alex turned toward the crowd of citizens writhing in pain. Time was his greatest enemy now. Searching for an antidote without knowing the exact composition of that black alchemical poison was impossible—even for a former God Cultivator like him.Yet, allowing thousands of lives to perish while he hunted the culprits upstream was something he could not accept.“Candra, pull back all medical personnel! Give me a fifty-meter radius!” Alex commanded, his voice shaking the air around the landing site.“Young Master, what are you going to do?!” Candra exclaimed warily, but he immediately moved to drive the confused doctors and soldiers away.At the same time, Alex stepped into the center between the emergency tents and the water filtration station. He took a deep breath…“If I can’t eradicate the poison now, then I can only stabilize their bodies so their internal organs won’t collapse…”He stomped his right foot into the ground.BOOOOM!A wave of golden energy erupted from beneath him, for

Alex gazed calmly at the pillar of water that surged crystal-clear from the depths of the earth. He neither needed worship nor excessive gratitude. To him, saving those oppressed by this cruel conspiracy was simply a moral obligation—one befitting someone who had once stood at the very peak of cultivation. He raised his hand, signaling the village head to rise from his prostration. The atmosphere in the field, once suffocating, was now filled with the scent of damp earth and a long-lost coolness that had finally returned to Tirta Village. “Stand up, Pak Kades,” Alex said, his voice heavy with unquestionable authority. “This water belongs to all of you. I’ve sealed the well’s inner walls with a trace of Qi to ensure no contaminated seepage from the surrounding soil can enter. This water will remain pure—even if the river out there turns into a sea of bile.” The villagers looked at Alex with eyes now filled purely with admiration and respect. Some mothers approached, bringing their w

These cultivators were no longer human... they were merely vessels of flesh forced to harbor high-level toxins. In their hands, purple energy solidified into sharp claws capable of tearing through steel as if it were mere sheets of paper.However, Alex remained standing like a statue. He didn't even blink as the first energy claw stopped only a few centimeters from his face."One," Alex whispered softly.DUARRR!Without moving his feet, Alex unleashed a short-range punch coated in pure golden light. The blow struck the chest of the silver-haired cultivator leading the charge. Instantly, the sound of crushing ribs echoed, followed by a sickening explosion of energy.The cultivator's body should have been obliterated, but an anomaly occurred. A thick purple fluid spurted from his pores, attempting to stitch the damaged tissues back together within milliseconds."Hahaha! We cannot die! This poison is our life!" the silver-haired man roared, his face distorted.Alex smirked coldly."Canno
