That night, in a KTV.

Inside a private room thick with cigarette smoke, Caesar and Denis sat facing each other.

"Caesar, did you see that invalid's attitude earlier? Do you think he knows something?" Denis asked.

"What can he do even if he knows?" Caesar replied casually. "He has no proof. I got rid of those doctors a long time ago."

"But if he keeps pursuing us, it'll be troublesome. Why don't we just finish him off?"

Denis's words were exactly what Caesar was thinking. The long journey to the

    “N-no! You misunderstand!” Mateo hurriedly denied. “Your surname is extremely rare in Telavip City. Even among cultivators, we barely know anyone with that name. It’s true… we once detained a man named Forger, but he was taken away by higher authorities last month!”His voice came out rushed, even trembling slightly.However—Tik!Javon flicked his finger.In an instant, a burst of energy shot forward like a bullet.Ssssh— BANG!Mateo instinctively raised a barrier.BANG! KREEEK—!The shield shattered instantly, as fragile as thin glass. His body was blasted backward, sliding dozens of steps before stopping, blood spraying from his mouth.“One more time,” Javon’s voice echoed, emotionless yet far more oppressive. “You bring him out… or I go in and tear your entire estate apart.”The moment those words fell, “HOW DARE YOU!”A thunderous roar echoed from afar.Two terrifying pressures surged forward, tearing through the air.In the blink of an eye, two elderly figures appeared, standin

  • Chapter 352. The Storm at Hernandez Mountain

    A few days later, inside the main hall of the Hernandez Family.The vast chamber gleamed with gold-layered ornaments, towering pillars stretching upward, and polished stone floors reflecting the glow of hanging lamps. The atmosphere felt heavy, almost suffocating. Three men occupied the central seats. At the very center, an old man with white hair exuded overwhelming dominance. His breathing was calm, yet an invisible pressure blanketed the entire hall.“Still no news from Tristan?” His voice was low, but it echoed across the room.A middle-aged man beside him shook his head. “Scouts at the border reported… he fell in the ruins.”The air froze instantly.Silence~“What?!” The old man rose abruptly, his chair scraping backward. “Tristan’s strength was second only to mine. How could he die so easily?!”Before the tension could settle, the hall doors burst open.Brak!A disciple rushed in, gasping for breath.“Elders! A young man is attacking the mountain! Two elders are already dead!”T

  • Chapter 351. Toward the Hernandez Territory

    The wind blew gently, lifting the dust that covered the body. Silence lingered for several seconds. Yet no emotion appeared on Javon’s face. He only glanced briefly, then crouched and removed the storage ring from Tristan’s hand.Although his expression remained calm, his mind moved quickly. Nearly all members of the Hernandez family who had entered the ruins were dead. That meant the only clue about his father had vanished as well. The realization left him slightly uneasy.However, he quickly dismissed the thought. If he could not obtain information here, then he would have to confront the family directly.He stood and said casually, “Search the others and make sure nothing remains.”Not long afterward, the group left the ruins. Once outside, Javon took several spirit stones from Valtheris’s storage ring. After estimating their value, he tossed them toward Raviel and the others.“Divide them among yourselves. Consider it a reward.”Everyone was stunned. The value was not small. Their

  • Chapter 350. One Slash to End It

    WHOOSH!Instead of attacking, Valtheris suddenly stretched his hand toward the crowd. Several elders from the four major families were dragged toward him like dry leaves caught in a storm. They didn’t even have time to understand what was happening.“Huh—?!”Hisss—!Their true energy was brutally extracted. Streams of light flowed from their bodies into Valtheris’s palm. Within seconds, their bodies shriveled, eyes wide, before collapsing lifelessly.Slap! Slap! Slap!Seven or eight low-level Celestial cultivators died almost simultaneously.The clan leaders’ faces changed drastically. Grief mixed with anger.“Stop him! Are you just going to stand there?!” Caelum shouted in panic.But Javon remained still. He watched calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him. His gaze was cold, without a trace of guilt.Moments later, Valtheris finished devouring the low-level cultivators. He licked his lips; his aura surged again, breathing steadier.“Why didn’t you stop me?” he sneered.Javon rais

  • Chapter 349. The Devourer Awakens

    Crack!His arm was torn off, and the following kick slammed him into the crater below.The entire crowd froze.The young man floated in the air. “I am the Devourer.”Magnus’s expression changed drastically. That name was infamous, a demonic cultivator rumored to have died three hundred years ago.The youth laughed softly. He explained how he had faked his death and built these ruins as a trap to absorb cultivators’ energy.Fear spread among everyone.With a casual gesture, he dragged two elders forward and drained their energy within seconds.“Run!” someone shouted.The crowd scattered.The youth smiled coldly. “No one can leave.”Suddenly he turned toward the bushes. “There are still three rats.”A terrifying pressure pulled Raviel and Morric toward him.“It’s over…” they muttered in despair.But a cold voice echoed.“You dare touch my people?”A surge of energy shattered the pressure. Javon appeared.“That kid…” the clan leaders murmured.Javon exhaled slowly. “It’s time to end this

  • Chapter 348. The Blood Monster

    The creature had three crimson eyes, no nose, and sharp fangs.“I… am hungry…”A roar exploded.WHOOSH!The creature charged forward.“Run!”Javon and his two companions, hidden in the bushes, watched with tense expressions. As the blood-red creature rampaged, chaos erupted instantly.More than twenty people from the four major families scattered. Half of them were low-level Celestial cultivators, but even that number was not enough.“RAAAARGH!”The last person running was pierced by a claw.PFFTT—!True energy flowed out from his seven orifices, then was completely absorbed by the monster. The body collapsed, eyes still open.Javon narrowed his eyes. “This monster absorbs true energy.”Suddenly a voice rang out.“That bastard!”Tristan spotted them. He was about to attack, but Caelum stopped him.“Prioritize escaping!”The group retreated.Raviel whispered, “We should leave too. That monster is at least eighth-level Celestial.”Javon shook his head. “Wait. Let’s watch first.”The mon
