Chapter 320: What to Do? Only Kill!

"The Sheng family."

Azrael recalled the task his teacher had assigned him and couldn't help but glance back at the red-robed judge standing beside him.

While his mission this time wasn't entirely different from a property confiscation, he certainly couldn't go as far as Wei Xiaobao had.

At the very least, he couldn't bring women home for torture, and of course, he had no desire to do so.

Of course, for someone like the Sheng family patriarch, who had clearly participat...

Chapter 134: Alchemy Frenzy

Victor stood at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, surveying the medicinal herbs growing in abundance around the dual springs.

From his spiritual sea, he summoned the alchemy furnace that Stelle had gifted him.

Compared to before, the furnace had undergone a dramatic transformation. Its entire surface now gleamed with a deep azure hue, golden runes covering the outer walls in intricate patterns. The ancient Yin-Yang Bagua formation encircled its body, radiating a potent s...

Chapter 87: The Moshu Poison Fruit

"Ah!"

The dark-red-skinned World Master roared, countless tiny wounds appearing across his body. Each wound carried a chilling sword aura, preventing them from healing naturally and constantly draining his strength.

The other World Master, weaker than his dark-red companion, was losing strength even faster. He teetered on the verge of collapse.

Yaoguang's second son performed far better than Han Jue had expected. The clothing he wore seemed crafted from exceptionally high-qu...

Chapter 86: Ice Wasteland World

Han Jue's arrival didn't cause much of a stir in the dimly lit chamber.

Aside from the cultivator who had spoken initially, the others merely glanced in his direction before returning their attention to the tense standoff. Their wariness of each other far outweighed any curiosity about a newcomer.

Han Jue's Six Eyes scanned the chamber methodically, cataloging every detail. His gaze settled on an intricate mechanism embedded in the stone wall, surrounded by elegant script carved d...

Chapter 133: A Treasure Trove Unrecognized

"So this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? It certainly lives up to its name."

Gazing down at the massive dual-spring formation beneath her feet, Gu Yuena's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Ice and fire were inherently opposing elements, yet the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before them achieved a perfect balance between these two extremes. Never had she imagined such a miraculous place could exist on the Douluo Continent.

Then, she sensed two familiar auras emanating from deep w...

Chapter 319: The Streets of Heaven Shall Be Paved with Noble Bones

After seeing Lucian off, Azrael settled onto the sofa and began contemplating how to explain these matters to Jin.

Since Lord Lioren had told him to proceed freely, there was no need to worry about the impact of leaked information on the Association's plans.

After a moment's deliberation, he decided to change the reason for the Association's actions to the dire situation in Antarctica.

[Six: President, the Association is preparing to take action against the Imperial ...

Chapter 85: The Ambush Unfolds

"Two targets? This won't be easy."

Han Jue concentrated his gaze on the airship gliding through the sky above and the intact caravan trailing behind it. Besides Yu Jinchen and Fang Hai, the caravan's guards included numerous Domain Lord-level fighters. If combat erupted, he'd inevitably face a coordinated assault from multiple opponents.

Fortunately, Han Jue's current strength didn't lie primarily in offense, but in his defensive capabilities granted by [No Limit]. Offens...

Chapter 132: Encountering the Golden Angel

"Where should we go next?"

Faced with Gu Yuena's question, Victor didn't rush to answer.

He spread out his spiritual sense, instantly covering the entire Sunset Forest in a sweeping mental scan. Within moments, he discovered a volcanic area near the forest's center, brimming with spiritual energy but completely surrounded by poisonous barriers.

The medicine garden. Finally found it.

"Follow me, this way!" Victor's form blurred into a stream of light as he flew toward t...

Chapter 318: Preparations for War

Azrael had been pondering a question lately: whether Alice's card counted as a dowry gift.

Obviously, he couldn't ask his senior sister directly, so he could only contemplate it in private.

"Speaking of which, it's time for Shiraori to advance," he mused aloud.

With no reliable source of points income, Azrael had barely received any advancement materials recently. Fortunately, he'd already prepared the necessary materials for Shiraori's promotion with Memphis's help.

Chapter 131: The Age of Shouting Skill Names Has Passed

"In that case, you will be buried with my students! Give me your lives!"

Zhao Wuji's voice boomed through the hotel hall as his power surged. "Seventh Soul Skill: Soul Form, Mighty Vajra, "

Bang!

Before he could finish invoking his martial soul ability, Victor's palm struck Zhao Wuji squarely in the chest.

The sound was thunderous. In an instant, Zhao Wuji exploded into a cloud of blood mist that dispersed through the air, following his students into oblivion....

Chapter 84: The Water-Sky Sacred Flame

Within Wanqing Prefecture City, inside the City Lord's Mansion, a slightly plump man with thinning hair, resembling a middle-aged merchant who'd indulged in too many fine meals, raised a wine glass before Han Jue with an enthusiastic smile.

"Young friend, you saved my daughter's life. Allow me to toast you!" Du Lan Changwen declared cheerfully.

The indigenous humans of the Seven Flames Palace bore striking resemblance to Earthlings, with only subtle physiological differences that ...

Chapter 317: Moonlit Confessions

Hearing Lucian's ominous words, Azrael froze for a moment.

Master Tempest had said something similar earlier. Though he'd later claimed it was a joke, considering his teacher's current tone, there was clearly more truth than jest in the sentiment.

But soon, Azrael felt a surge of anticipation, eager to see those corrupt nobles in the Imperial Court wiped out.

As for whether it would cause chaos, that wasn't something a mere Emerald-level Lore Cardian like him should worry ab...

Chapter 70: Arming the Hero

Dawn broke over the quiet town, painting the sky in soft shades of orange and gold.

"Oh, Max, are you leaving so early?" Aunt Vera stood at the door, her expression melancholic as she watched Max, Asher, and the others finish loading their bags into the Rust Bucket.

"Yeah, we've got to keep moving. The whole summer vacation is fully scheduled," Max replied warmly, his tone upbeat despite the early hour.

"Did we not treat you well enough?"

Chapter 69: Heroes Without Glory

Four Arms didn't bother chasing down the remaining aliens. They were obviously terrified and just wanted to escape home. Besides, even if he rushed in to fight them, killing wasn't necessary, and with so many of them packed into the spaceship, a real battle inside would turn into a chaotic brawl with no guarantee of victory.

He glanced down at the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. The transformation time is almost up. No point continuing this fight.

"No, don't worry! There are so many of us!" one shapeshifter roared. "Let's kill this four-armed freak together!"

"Our bodies are immortal! We can't be permanently destroyed by any means of attack!"

"No matter how powerful he is, we'll exhaust him eventually!!"

Although Four Arms radiated an overwhelming aura that struck unprecedented fear into these aliens, a primal terror that made their stolen human forms tremble, the thought of their immortal bodies rekindled their fight...

Asher tilted his head to look behind him, and his eyes widened in shock.

Dozens of shapeshifters pursued him through the underground passage, and their numbers were growing denser with each passing second. The sight was terrifying, an entire horde of alien creatures hunting him down with murderous intent!

He glanced in every other direction!

Whether to the left, right, or even climbing along the walls and egg pods, shapeshifters converged on his position from all sides. Ther...

In addition to the shapeshifters already blocking the entrance, several more aliens appeared during the conversation and joined their companions. The alien army was rushing toward this location from all directions!

"Asher, your watch..." Gwen looked at Asher beside her with concern.

"Not enough time."

Asher glanced down at his wrist. The Omnitrix was still glowing red in its charging state, though the light was rapidly pulsing as it recharged.

He had an idea. Looking u...

Chapter 65: Underground Truth

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Wildmutt aimed at the three plasticine-like monsters on the ground. One shot, then another, completely obliterating them until nothing remained but scattered debris. Only then did he retract his massive claws with satisfaction.

Even the shapeshifters with their terrifying regenerative abilities could only slowly reform into their humanoid shapes after such devastating attacks.

Chapter 64: Instinctive Awakening

"Fusion complete!"

The system's mechanical voice echoed in Asher's mind as Wildmutt's transformation finished. But something felt off. He expected to sense some change, enhanced perception, heightened awareness, something tangible to indicate the spider-sense had successfully integrated with his alien form.

Instead... nothing.

His massive orange head neither ached nor tingled with newfound power. His already extraordinary senses felt no different than before. The gill-like n...

With that familiar sound effect, Asher's body began to grow exponentially. Thick fur erupted across his skin as his waist curved sharply forward, forcing him onto all fours until he'd transformed into a massive canine creature, larger than any terrestrial predator like tigers or lions!

The moment the transformation completed, his vision vanished entirely. Darkness consumed everything, but in its place came something far more powerful. An inte...

Chapter 62: Into the Darkness

Ten minutes passed.

Asher, Ben, and Gwen crouched in a narrow alley about a hundred meters behind the building that served as the shapeshifters' base. The entrance to the aliens' underground facility was protected by a broken fence gate, and at least twenty to thirty shapeshifters stood guard around the perimeter.

This was where Asher's carefully calculated plan would swing into action.

"Next up," Asher said, pulling out the mobile phone trigger with a flourish, "prepare to ...

Before this transformation, Asher had always struggled with complex mathematics. He'd attempted Olympiad-level problems and found himself thinking so hard his brain felt like it might overheat.

"Wait, if we go back, we'll definitely run into one of those shapeshifters!" Ben's voice dropped to an urgent whisper, his eyes wide with worry. "We're dead if they catch us!"

"Do we have any other choice?" Asher shot back, his tone brooking no argument. "At least it's a place they've already searched. That makes it the safest spot we've got right now. Come on!"

He didn't wait for further debate. Bending low, Asher immediately began moving toward Aunt Vera's yard with practiced st...

XLR8 stepped through the fence gate into the alley, approaching the basement entrance with cautious curiosity. Peering through the gap, he could see nothing but endless darkness stretching downward, like the mouth of some massive creature waiting below.

XLR8 spoke with certainty, but he made no move to tear through the entrance with his razor-sharp claws. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and glided back out of the alley with practiced...
