Chapter 2388

Author: Marina Vittori

"Who the heck is this kid?" Oron glanced at his trembling hands and felt a chill run down his spine. He failed to gain the upper hand in the earlier clash with Dustin and suffered an unexpected setback.

He was already an ultimate grandmaster, with a cultivation and mastery of the Glow Incantation that surpassed Caleb's. By all accounts, subduing a younger opponent should have been a piece of cake.

But that exchange just now had brought him to a stark realization—Dustin had been holding back t

Many people didn't know who Dustin was, but they had heard that even the Queen would attend the ceremony in person. That alone was enough to make it clear he was no ordinary figure.Inside the mansion, guests filled every hall. Grace, dressed in simple formal attire, officiated the ceremony herself. She watched as Dustin and Natasha exchanged their vows before their families and formally became husband and wife, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.Scarlet stood among the crowd, observing the moment in silence. There was a faint ache in her chest, but she still offered her sincere blessing. She had already come to terms with it. Some people were meant to remain in her heart, while others were meant to wish for happiness.Blanche and Albus were also present. Albus presented Dustin with a wedding gift he had forged himself, a crystalline dagger. Meanwhile, Blanche gave Natasha a set of ceremonial bridal attire she had embroidered by hand, explaining that it was a gift she had long ow

After returning to Oakvale, Dustin went into seclusion for a full month. He had absorbed less than 30% of the Ascendant Pill's energy. The remaining 70% had settled within his body and would require time to refine. The Aethermoor Immortal Art also demanded careful study.When he stepped out of seclusion a month later, he was like a completely different person. His energy waves were restrained, almost indistinguishable from those of an ordinary person. Yet at times, a flicker of gold would pass through his eyes, and no one who saw it could meet his gaze for long. It was the mark of someone who had reached the Ascendant realm."Dustin!" Scarlet was the first to rush over. She looked him up and down and asked, "You… You really made it?"He smiled faintly. "You could say that.""What do you mean by that?" she asked with a frown. "I saw what happened that day. You smashed the bolt with a single punch. That was incredible."Dustin chuckled and ruffled her hair. "That was just the be

The second bolt slammed down, followed by a third and then a fourth, each one hitting harder than the last. And yet, each strike only made Dustin stronger.He took the lightning head-on, driving his fists through each incoming strike. Lightning coiled around him, turning him into a walking storm."His body… It's being tempered by lightning bolts. He's getting stronger." Adam murmured.Grace's eyes lit with a different kind of focus. "That's how you get stronger. You don't avoid the tribulation but face it head-on."The seventh bolt hit, then the eighth, and the ninth, each one stronger than the last. Then, the final bolt came.A single bolt of violet-gold lightning dropped straight down on him. It carried enough force to obliterate anything in its path.Dustin threw his head back and roared. Every ounce of strength in his body gathered into his right fist as he drove it forward. The instant his punch met the lightning, the world went silent.A blinding flash erupted. The shock

Anders quietly approached the hovering Ascendant Pill. He had been hiding the entire time, waiting for an opening. With Evander and Severin locked in combat and everyone else's attention fixed on the fight, Anders finally made his move. He burst forward in a sudden sprint and reached the pill in an instant, snatching it out of the air."I've got it!" he exclaimed, already turning to run.Just then, Evander broke away from Severin and struck Anders with a palm strike. Even in the middle of the fight, he had kept his attention on the Ascendant Pill.Caught off guard, Anders tried to block, but he was no match for Evander. The strike broke through his defense, and he coughed up blood. He was thrown backward, and the Ascendant Pill slipped from his grasp.It spun through the air before dropping near the edge of the crowd, landing right at Dustin's feet. For a moment, no one reacted. He glanced at the violet-glowing pill on the floor, then looked up.Every gaze was fixed on him, shar

Every attack converged on Evander at once. He smirked, and golden light surged from his body. He pushed forward under the barrage, taking the strikes head-on. The impacts slowed him slightly, but none of them was able to do real damage."Evander, let me help you!" Elowen called out as a silver-white longsword appeared in her hand. She swept it across in a wide arc, forcing several attackers back and clearing space around him.The three Quinton family guards held the flanks, blocking incoming strikes from both sides with everything they had. But there were too many of them. One of the rogue cultivator alliance's new leaders forced his way through despite taking hits along the way and closed the distance. He drove a palm strike straight toward Evander from behind.Evander's expression tightened, and he had to turn to block. That moment of delay gave the others an opening, and they surged in from all sides.Soon, the fight broke into close combat.Grace stayed out of the fight an

"Albus, remember why you use your sword," Dustin said quietly. "You fight to protect your sister and your family. Hold on to that. It matters more than anything else."Albus froze, then slowly closed his eyes. Blanche's smile, his family's faces, and the companions who had fought beside him these past days all surfaced in his mind. When he opened them again, his gaze was clear, and the pressure weighing on him had eased."Thank you, Dustin," he said, his voice steady as he straightened up and continued upward.…Evander stepped onto the 99th step and reached the top of the stairway, with Elowen right behind him. Ahead of them hung a massive structure suspended in empty space. Its gates were shut, their surfaces carved with intricate runes that exuded a heavy, unsettling presence."Aethermoor Palace…" he said, his gaze fixed on it. "The Immortal Legacy is finally within my reach."At that moment, footsteps sounded behind him as Karos staggered onto the final step, covered in blood
