Chapter 406: Dawn of Vengeance

Dawn of Vengeance

"Enough."

Julian waved his hand casually.

"Focus on your breakthrough."

Lucas nodded heavily.

Without wasting another second, he carefully sat cross-legged on the polished wooden floor of the guest residence.

Taking a slow, steady breath, he picked up the first Mystic Life Fruit and swallowed it.

The moment the fruit entered his stomach, an astonishing wave of pure spiritual energy erupted throughout his body.

His muscles tensed.

The restored nervous system trembled slightly under the immense medicinal force.

Sweat instantly appeared across his forehead.

Lucas immediately circulated his cultivation technique, guiding the violent energy through every part of his body.

The room fell silent.

Only the faint sound of his breathing echoed through the air.

Julian remained seated nearby, calmly observing.

There wasn’t the slightest concern on his face.

He had already perfected the medicinal bath that restored Lucas’s shattered nervous system.

The Mystic Life Fruits would simply push his cultivation further.

Nothing unexpected would happen.

Meanwhile, Shera and his Thunder Mammoth Elite Squad of twenty-four had already absorbed the Mystic Life Fruits awarded by Julian.

Within one of the D’Aurelius family’s secluded training courtyards, powerful waves of spiritual energy surged continuously into the night sky.

One after another, breakthroughs erupted.

The pressure released by more than twenty experts shook the surrounding air.

Servants passing nearby instinctively slowed their footsteps, their expressions filled with awe.

Inside the training grounds, Shera slowly opened his eyes.

An overwhelming aura burst from his body like a roaring tidal wave.

His strength had risen from the middle stage of the Silver Realm to the middle stage of the Gold Realm.

He slowly clenched his fists.

The explosive power flowing through every muscle far exceeded anything he had possessed before.

His eyes shone with excitement.

The strength Julian had granted him wasn’t something he could have obtained through ordinary cultivation, even after years of effort.

Around him, every member of the Thunder Mammoth Elite Squad completed their breakthroughs one after another.

All twenty-four of his men had advanced from the early Silver Realm to the early Gold Realm.

The entire courtyard became filled with powerful cultivation auras.

Each soldier looked at his own hands with disbelief.

Only yesterday, the Gold Realm had seemed like an unreachable mountain.

Now...

Every one of them had stepped into it together.

Shera slowly stood.

His gaze swept across his brothers.

A proud smile appeared on his usually cold face.

"Remember this."

His deep voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Everything we possess today was given to us by Young Master Julian."

The twenty-four men immediately straightened their backs.

Every one of them nodded firmly.

Their loyalty had already been absolute.

Now it had become unshakable.

Just these twenty-plus Gold Realm experts.

Their presence alone was enough to make the Old Martial Arts sects shudder.

Any household foolish enough to underestimate the D’Aurelius family would pay an unimaginable price.

And that wasn’t all.

With Lina Ashford and Liza Voss both standing at the peak of the Gold Realm...

Julian no longer needed to fear the Twelve Earthly Branches sent by the Obsidian Wing organization.

The balance of power within Valemont had already begun to shift.

Back inside the guest residence, Lucas continued refining the medicinal energy.

The second Mystic Life Fruit dissolved within him.

Another powerful current flooded through every part of his body.

His cultivation surged upward once again.

Bones cracked softly.

Muscles tightened.

Every strand of spiritual energy became denser than before.

His breathing gradually stabilized.

Julian quietly watched without disturbing him.

His foundation was damaged before.

Now that it’s been rebuilt, these fruits should allow him to recover much faster.

Only Lina and Liza, standing silently nearby, heard Julian’s inner thoughts.

Neither woman’s expression changed.

Neither revealed that they had heard anything unusual.

Julian himself remained completely unaware that his thoughts had reached them.

After nearly an hour, Lucas swallowed the third Mystic Life Fruit.

The final surge of spiritual energy exploded throughout his body like a raging river breaking through a dam.

The surrounding air trembled slightly.

His clothes fluttered despite the complete absence of wind.

An invisible pressure rippled outward from his body, stirring the air around him as if the very atmosphere recognized the shift taking place. His aura climbed higher and higher—a relentless tide of power surging past barrier after barrier—before finally stabilizing at an immense height that made the surrounding space seem to tremble beneath its weight.

Julian watched with a knowing smile, his golden eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

His strength had also advanced to the peak of the Gold Realm.

Lucas slowly exhaled.

The pressure surrounding him gradually faded.

When he finally opened his eyes, they shone with renewed confidence.

His strength had also advanced to the peak of the Gold Realm.

However, compared to Lina Ashford and Liza Voss, there was still a noticeable gap.

Julain slowly sensed the spiritual energy flowing through his body before letting out a long breath.

Although he had reached the peak of the Gold Realm, he could clearly feel that his foundation was more solid then their.

That difference wasn’t caused by talent.

It was caused by timing.

The two women had reached the peak of the Gold Realm with just two Mystic Life Fruits.

As for the third, it had only failed to push them into the Platinum Realm.

Even so, the tremendous medicinal energy from the third fruit hadn’t gone to waste.

Instead, it had continuously tempered and reinforced every part of their bodies, making the foundation of their Gold Realm cultivation incomparably stable.

Breaking through to the Platinum Realm in the future was only a matter of time.

Julian silently nodded to himself.

He wasn’t discouraged.

Otherside Lucas his excitement only grew stronger.

Feeling the terrifying strength surging through every corner of his body, he slowly tightened both fists.

His muscles responded instantly.

His spiritual energy circulated freely through his restored nervous system without encountering the slightest obstruction.

Every breath felt lighter than before.

Every heartbeat carried explosive power.

He had once believed his cultivation journey had already come to an end.

Now...
