Javon's face hardened into a mask of granite as the phone call ended. The warmth of the dawn that had enveloped him just moments before vanished without a trace.

Sherly, who was very sensitive to his changes in mood, asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Balveer Park is on fire," Javon said, his tone flat but laden with danger. "The fire started right after I left the place. A very well-planned coincidence."

Catching the meaning behind his words, Sherly shuddered. "You suspect this is a trap for you?"

  • Chapter 318. Battle Against Three Celestial Elders

    “Get lost!”Javon stepped forward while releasing the full aura of a third-level Celestial. The overwhelming pressure immediately forced Ren to retreat several steps.Ren’s gaze sharpened with shock. Yet he quickly steadied himself and launched his next attack.Dozens of shuriken shot out like lightning, sealing every opening in an instant.“Is that all you can do?” With a single wave of his hand, Javon knocked down all the hidden weapons and crushed them into fragments of metal.“Fool! You’re already dead!”Javon’s dismissive tone enraged Ren. He drew a Javana blade from his waist and slashed with a wide, crude motion.CLANG!Javon swung the Azure Skyburn Spear to block the strike.The recoil vibration traveled along the blade into Ren’s hand, instantly numbing his arm.Before he could react—Bang!Javon’s kick struck his chest. Though he hastily reinforced his defenses, Ren was still sent flying backward with a pained grimace. Javon’s strength and speed clearly surpassed his.“Your

  • Chapter 317. The Secret of the Holy Water

    Before Javon Forger could speak, Arken Solvaris said firmly, “He is my honored guest. You may leave now. I will settle your account later.”Ichiro Watanabe’s expression stiffened, but he still bowed and withdrew.Once the man had left, Javon Forger crossed his arms. “I heard the teleportation array is near the palace. I want to use it.”Arken Solvaris’s smile slowly faded. He returned to his throne and spoke casually, “You just arrived in the Silent Sands, didn’t you? Why not stay a few more days?”“I’m not interested. How many Aetherstones are required?”Arken Solvaris chuckled softly. “It’s not a matter of Aetherstones. At such a young age, you have already reached the Celestial Stage. Why not join the royal family? If you do, the supply of holy water will be unlimited.”He smiled meaningfully. “You must already be familiar with the holy water, right?”He was clearly trying to recruit him. A Celestial expert was a force coveted by every faction. The royal family naturally did not wa

  • Chapter 316. The Royal Guard Kneels

    Cold sweat soaked the captain’s face. “My lord… You are at the Celestial Stage?” His voice turned fawning. “Forgive my blindness…”A slap struck his cheek.Ichiro flinched but kept a bitter smile.Javon looked at the crowd. “All of you… kneel, bow your heads, and apologize to the people you insulted!”The crowd held its breath.A noble… kneeling before commoners?The blade pressed deeper, a thin red line appearing on Ichiro’s neck.“Kneel or die!”Pride and survival battled briefly in his eyes. Then he knelt, his forehead touching the ground.“Forgive us…”The soldiers followed.The sound of foreheads striking stone echoed through the main street of Sand City. For the first time, the Royal Guard bowed to the people they had long despised.Javon withdrew his blade. “Go.”Ichiro rose with a pale face, carrying the half-conscious Hiraizumi. They retreated without daring to look back.Only then did the crowd dare breathe again.Their gazes toward Javon changed. No longer mere admiration,

  • Chapter 315. The Sun Banner Brought to Its Knees

    The city stood magnificently atop a massive oasis. Stone-paved roads stretched wide. Pavilions and towers lined up in flawless order. Martial practitioners moved about with powerful auras. Yet none of that was what made Javon’s jaw tighten.White banners bearing a red circle fluttered everywhere, on the city walls, atop shop roofs, and above the gates of noble residences.The Grand Sun Banner.“That flag?” he asked.“That is the emblem of the current kingdom,” Selira explained. “The previous king modified it. The noble family is called the Order of the Grand Sun.”Javon held his breath. The invasion nearly a century ago. Poison gas drums in the desert. And now the Grand Sun Banner. The picture was becoming clear.Selira walked too quickly and accidentally bumped into a young man dressed in distinct Javana attire. A white headband embroidered with a blazing red sun was fastened proudly across his forehead.“Idiot! Don’t you have eyes?” he snapped.Selira immediately lowered her head. “

  • Chapter 314. The Yellow Fog and the Secret of 001

    After leaving Selira outside the danger zone, Javon shot back toward the yellow fog without hesitation.“Sir, don’t go in!” Selira shouted in panic. “Even Celestial cultivators have died there!”The warning became nothing more than desert wind.Before entering the fog, Javon condensed his true qi into a full-body shield. One layer, then two, then three. He did not believe in luck; he believed in redundancy.The fog was thick, limiting visibility to no more than ten meters. The air felt heavy, as if it contained something wrong.Behind a low rocky hill, he stopped. Part of a metal object protruded from the sand.With a pull of inner energy, he lifted it. An old iron drum. Foreign writing was printed on its surface, Javana script. He recognized its form, though he had never wished to study it.A string of numbers was clearly marked. Beneath it, number: 001. A military unit and chemical research materials.Javon’s gaze hardened. This was not natural miasma, but a leak of man-made toxic g

  • Chapter 313. The Holy Water and the Price of Three Doses

    “I have indeed drunk it,” Zarek said flatly. “Last year. Thanks to that holy water, I broke through from the first level of Celestial to the second level. But there is a limit, three times in a lifetime. Any more than that, and you won’t survive.”Forger Enterprise was not mentioned, yet the atmosphere of the arena felt like the cruelest corporate transaction, where profit and loss were measured in lives.“If more than three times?” Javon asked calmly.“Your body will rot.” Zarek stared blankly, as if seeing shadows of the past. “A few years ago, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage drank it four times in a single year. His skin split open, oozing pus. His internal organs melted like rotten porridge. He died screaming.”Silence spread.Javon observed the small bottle in Zarek’s hand. If even someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could end like that, then this substance was not merely a cultivation-enhancing potion. It was a biological gamble.“In Celestial, many have already proven it,”
