Chapter 1413 I need to prepare.
"I-I agree. I-I agree to be your slave!" The King shouted, pretty much begging for mercy. All his 'majestic' Aura had long disappeared, and how could it not? Nux, feeling bored, had stopped playing games. Honestly, with his current stats, overpowering Ricardus wasn't difficult, just using his higher stats to do that was possible. Yes, except for INT, Nux's current stats were higher than Ricardus's, after all, this time, he wasn't saving his Blank Points, he used them as soon as he got them and even though he used most of them to boost his stamina, he was still much stronger, strong enough to overwhelm Ricardus through sheer raw power alone, but... That wasn't fun now, was it? What? He still hadn't lost his playful side, you know? Despite being 1000 years old, he was still young in his heart. ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
The real problem was the Pseudo Sage, Nawdren. The Beast they found in the Wilderness, the Beast that had now taken over a Human Body and the body went through metamorphism.
Nux was strong, even though his stats were only stronger than a Peak King Stage Cultivator and were lacking compared to an Emperor, he was strong enough to face all the Emperors alone. The 'absolute' boundary between Phase 1 and Phase 2 Cultivators meant nothing to him because he used *Essence*. But the problem was, he couldn't enslave Emperors like others; this base version of the Slave Seal wasn't that strong. He needed to upgrade it and that is only possible when he upgrades his System, meaning that he himself would need to become an Emperor to do that. A time-consuming process without his dual cultivation ability and right now, time was what Nux didn't have. The Solid Earth Kingdom was moving forward with their plans, Ember was in a difficult position. Not to mention that in this 'world', Amletus Skadi, the Emperor of the Skadi Kingdom was not dead and he was definitely one of Herms's, the Emperor of the Solid Earth Kingdom's allies. Combined with Herms's son, Roone Lysander, the King of the Solid Earth Kingdom, the second Emperor of the Solid Earth Kingdom, the battle was a 3v2. With Astaria Skyfall, the Emperor of the Skyfall Kingdom and Alcimus Woods, the Emperor of the Woods Dynasty, on one side, the Herms, Roone, and Amletus on the other. The advantage the Solid Earth and Skadi Alliance have couldn't be more obvious, even Astaria, the 'strongest being in the continent' couldn't stop them. Everything seemed to be under their complete control and this is why the Solid Earth Kingdom's progress was much faster than Nux expected. With Solid Earth going full in, Nux predicted that Woods would fall within a week. Even if he saved Ember and took her away, in the end, in the all-out war, the threat wouldn't disappear. Of course, Nux could reveal Roone's secret to Amletus and start a feud between the allies, slowing them down, but in the end, it wouldn't matter. The real threat was still Nawdren. The mutation who hadn't even entered the equation yet. A mutation that needed to disappear. Thinking about it, Nux's golden eyes shined brightly as he clenched his fists, honestly, he was planning to get rid of Nawdren when he became a King Stage Cultivator, but, his progress was slower than his expectation, despite knowing everything about the cultivation stages, giving him an absurd advantage, his talent was simply too bad. 'How did I even make do with this body...?' Nux couldn't help but snort. He was already used to his body cultivating on his own, heck, rather than being unable to break through, he was now more used to holding himself from breaking through automatically. "Tsk." Nux snorted, then, he momentarily closed his eyes to calm his thought. A minute later, he opened his eyes, a serene calm could be seen in those pair of beautiful golden eyes. Nux had decided. He will get rid of Nawdren as a Master Stage Cultivator. 'I need to prepare.' With that thought in his mind, Nux disappeared. He only had 2 weeks, it was time to gather resources. He ordered Ricardus and his other influential subordinates to gather as many Mana and Health Potions as possible, while he himself rushed towards a place he recalled very well. A place that always awarded him with many things, something that was going to happen again. 'Ricardus.' Nux called using his connection with his slaves. 'Master.' Ricardus's voice was heard. 'All the Shadow Guards will be coming to the Bloodhill Wilderness, so make do without them, I need to gather points to buy a few 7-Star Swords and Armor.' There was no need to buy abilities, because, first, the abilities were absurdly expensive, 10 times the price of weapons of the same level, second, Nux had countless skills already assimilated into his Zenith Flow, even though he still couldn't use most of those abilities because his level was too low, the number of abilities he could use was more than enough to deal with a man-beast who wasn't even a complete Incomplete Sage. With a confident smirk on his face, Nux appeared in front of the nostalgic wilderness, this time, he rushed right into the deepest areas.
