Ethan absorbed the power of the sun, moon, and stars faster and faster.
Seeing that Ethan had instantly entered a deep cultivation state, Zeon and Magnus didn’t dare to waste a single breath. They hurriedly sat cross-legged, drawing in the pure and majestic power overflowing from the rotating altar.
Just as Ethan said—
The effect was several tis stronger than normal cultivation!
"Damn... what is this place?!"
Zeon almost shouted out loud, suppressing his voice at the last second.
"This cultivation speed... it’s insane! Ethan really is a walking lucky star!"
Asher narrowed his eyes.
For the first ti in his life, he felt deeply thankful that his sister had chosen to draw this monstrous genius into the Blood Tavern’s camp. Ethan’s presence alone had shifted the fate of their entire organization.
"Don’t make a fuss," Asher said calmly, though excitent simred behind his voice.
"Take advantage of this opportunity. If you’re lucky, you might break into the Supre Realm."
He then turned and stretched out his hand.
Rumble—!
The massive stone gate sank downward slowly, closing the entrance tightly. A dense web of formation marks lit up, locking the ruin from the inside.
Only when everything was sealed did Asher relax slightly and sit down to cultivate.
Ethan opened his hand, and a Star Pill appeared between his fingers.
He swallowed it directly.
A warm burst of starlight exploded inside him, and his absorption rate nearly doubled again.
He could see his Emperor Star prototype—once faint and translucent—now truly beginning to solidify.
At the sa ti, his Dharma Body was also greedily absorbing heaven and earth energy, drawing in star power like a bottomless abyss.
This place...
This altar...
Was far beyond the stone tablet’s description.
It was a sacred land that defied heaven’s shackles!
Even though Asher had closed the stone gate, Ethan wasn’t fully at ease.
He stretched out his hand and summoned the bronze puppet.
Boom boom boom—
Under his control, the puppet set up ninety-nine small formations around the chamber, each one blending perfectly with the stone floor.
Only after ensuring that no external threats could disturb their cultivation did Ethan finally close his eyes again.
And this ti—
He sank entirely into the Nine Emperors Dao Body.
.....
Nine years later.
At the site where Bram had fallen years ago, dozens of figures descended from the sky in streaks of rainbow light.
Every one of them carried an overwhelming aura.
They were from—
The Vernal Clan.
The leader, an elderly yet imposing man, stepped forward. His eyes were deep and filled with chilling resolve.
Seth Vernal, the Third Elder of the Vernal Clan.
He had spent nine years in seclusion just to step into the Supre Realm before personally coming here to avenge Bram.
Next to him stood a man wearing a black cloak—his presence so cold and sharp it cut the air itself.
Carlos Vernal, one of the clan’s four great guardians.
A Interdiate Supre.
Their arrival alone sent tremors across the region.
Seth Vernal knelt, touching the ground where Bram had last stood.
"According to the guidance of the Life Soul Jade Pendant... Bram died here."
His voice was calm—but everyone could hear the suppressed fury beneath it.
He rose slowly.
"Everyone, prepare to use the life soul detection thod. With it, we will see clearly who killed Bram."
"Understood!"
Dozens of clan elites spread out, forming a precise circular formation around Seth and Carlos.
Seth Vernal raised his palm, and the Life Soul Jade Pendant floated in front of him.
Inside it was sealed Bram’s blood essence and a sliver of his soul origin.
This pendant was the key.
The Vernal Clan possessed a terrifying bloodline secret art—
The Life Soul Reflection Technique.
A forbidden technique that allowed one to see the final monts before a person’s death.
But the price was steep— Life essence consumption. Loss of lifespan. Damage to cultivation foundation.
However—
A peerless genius of the clan had once improved it, allowing multiple cultivators to share the burden.
Thus, dozens of people now activated the technique together.
"Begin!"
Seth Vernal ordered.
He pressed his hands together, forming rapid seals.
Carlos Vernal extended his palms, both hands pointed at the jade pendant.
Around them, dozens of clan mbers pricked their fingers, letting blood drip as they murmured the ancient secret incantation.
Hum—
The pendant glowed.
A thin red mist rose, slowly thickening—
Until it beca a dense blood fog hovering in the air.
Dozens of blood threads shot out simultaneously, connecting the technique users to the jade pendant.
Carlos Vernal’s voice bood:
"OPEN!"
Two beams of blood surged from his palms, striking the pendant.
Seth Vernal’s eyes snapped open.
"Secret technique—unveil!"
He flicked his finger sharply.
BOOM—!
The mist expanded outward, flattening into a giant mirror.
And in that mirror—
The last monts of Bram’s life appeared.
A tall, black-clothed young man descended from the sky like a god of death.
One blade strike—
Bram’s head flew.
But that wasn’t all.
In another corner, Willow and the Imperial killer Gilbert were also slain by the sa man.
All three fell the sa way.
One sword.
Instant decapitation.
They died without resistance.
Everyone turned pale.
"What kind of monster is he...?"
"This speed... this blade force... absolutely not an ordinary genius..."
So trembled.
The backlash of the secret technique surged then, worsening their condition.
Seth and Carlos felt their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
If they continued, their foundations would be damaged beyond repair.
"Rember this face!"
Seth Vernal’s voice was hoarse, filled with murderous hatred.
The image of Ethan’s cold expression—his black hair whipping in the wind—was burned into their mories.
"Receive!"
Seth Vernal ordered.
All cultivators stopped at once.
Dozens coughed violently, faces pale.
Even shared among many, the backlash of such a forbidden technique was still brutal.
Seth Vernal exhaled long and slow, then waved his hand.
"Rest for now."
He grabbed the Life Soul Jade Pendant with trembling fingers.
