From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Aldrich effortlessly subdued his Monarch Level adversary with just one move, not relying on his own power of Bloodline but instead on a battle skill.

Battle Skill Three

"Falling Mountain."

The principle of "Falling Mountain" is quite simple, which is to consume a massive amount of one's own physical strength, gather an enormously great power at the palm of the hand, and suppress the target downwards like a mountain range.

Even powerful experts using "Falling Mountain" could directly crush and grind weaker ones to death.

Mr. Brandy could very strongly feel the surprising amount of power in Aldrich's palm.

So heavy!

Although the middle-aged man was also an Extraordinary Exponent of the low-level Monarch like himself, the gap in strength was very significant. Mr. Brandy couldn't help but recall the leader of the Tranquility Words!

Back then, he and Aldrich achieved the breakthrough to low-level Monarch at the same time, but his strength far surpassed his own, and now he was continuously advancing toward high-level Monarch.

Those genius strongmen who had hopes of reaching even higher levels could practically crush other opponents of the same level, even when they themselves were at lower levels of strength!

Even Zayne, who had become liquid in the massive water ball, could vaguely see red and black scales on Aldrich's face.

Could that possibly be the power of a dragon?

Zayne suddenly realized.

He significantly strengthened his physical strength and base power by borrowing the power of two giant dragons, making the battle skill "Falling Mountain" more effective and lasting!

Aldrich spoke indifferently.

"Who are you?"

The successor of the Romann family asked the other calmly and composedly.

In a dire moment, the strength of a Forbidden rare artifact was activated. The man who was unable to move under Aldrich's palm did not answer, but instead, his eyes emitted a silver light!

Mr. Brandy's Forbidden rare artifact with a three-digit number was 375.

It was named "Prisoner of Purification," a silver bracelet marked with an Angel symbol. If not covered, it would continuously emit silver light and even reveal the phantom of an Angel imprisoned.

Currently, "Prisoner of Purification" was in his stomach.

Because the previous Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent who carried the "Prisoner of Purification" wore it on the wrist and, before dying, had not managed to activate it in time, so his entire hand was chopped off by Mr. Brandy.

Therefore, he swallowed the bracelet into his stomach.

"Prisoner of Purification," being a three-digit strong Forbidden rare artifact, undoubtedly demanded a heavy price for its use. The user's lifespan would instantaneously burn away a full fifty years, and even Monarch powerful experts could not misuse it!

Aldrich suddenly realized that something felt very wrong with what was beneath his hand!

"Ah!"

At this moment, the powerful forbidden force was activated, and intense silver light burst from Mr. Brandy's eyes!

Suddenly, a huge silver light ball appeared in the sky a hundred meters high!

Shining brightly, dazzlingly brilliant!

It was like a silver sun!

It kept radiating an attractive force and silver light all around, making all the Extraordinary power in the vicinity disappear completely.

Under the illumination of the silver light, the giant water ball collapsed instantly, copious amounts of water leaked out, and even fish were seen scurrying away. The next moment, all of them were flying towards the sky together!

Aldrich, too, rapidly felt his own power dissipating in an instant, and his body, out of control, flew upwards. Everything around him was being drawn to that glowing orb!

Zayne was also drawn into midair and found himself unable to liquefy, yelling: "What's happening?"

Aldrich didn't reply.

He made a swift and clear judgment.

The enemy had activated some sort of Forbidden rare artifact, and that artifact generated a silver light ball in the sky, which then produced two potent Extraordinary effects.

The first effect was a wide-range neutralization of Extraordinary power, making it difficult for any Extraordinary power, at least up to low-level Monarch, to take effect.

As for the second effect, it was a powerful attraction. All things around were uncontrollably drawn towards it.

As for the fate of those who had been drawn in, he noticed that the trees and stones around him, as well as live people, all disappeared without a trace after being drawn into the silver light ball.

Carefully observing, Aldrich decisively found that the volume of the silver light ball was gradually shrinking.

So that's how it is. It seems its absorbing attraction has a limit.

On the ground, Mr. Brandy and those Tranquility followers slowly got to their feet, and although they were not drawn in, they also could not use their Extraordinary power under the illumination of the silver light ball.

Fifty years of full lifespan were consumed in an instant. Mr. Brandy's youthful appearance changed in a flash, with wrinkles visibly growing on his face.

He had had a considerable chance of aspiring to a Middle Rank Monarch future, but now his chances were slim!

Aldrich stretched out his left hand.

Among the ten rings on his hands, seven were treasured rare artifacts, and the other three were all Forbidden rare artifacts.

Many of them were not originally rings; they were transformed into rings by someone Lord Aldrich had commissioned using a Transmutation Spell.

The three rings on the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger of Aldrich Romann's left hand were respectively an ancient-looking jet black stone ring, a eye-catchingly dazzling gold ring, and a verdant wooden ring.

All of them were very powerful Forbidden rare artifacts.

The jet black ring was the number 779 "Black Eye-Pupil," which had the ability to "turn all living things in the line of sight into stone statues," and the cost of using it was the permanent, random loss of memories about a person known to the user.

The gold ring was number 3428 "Giant God"; it could conjure a powerful giant phantom, one strike of which could seriously injure a common Monarch powerful expert, but the cost of using it was to suffer the same amount of damage oneself.

Once, Aldrich had used them together to quickly kill a Monarch powerful expert from the Stars Embrace Order.

Now, after some thought, Aldrich fully activated the powerful force hidden within that wooden ring.

"Deep Green Forest"!

Although it was just a four-digit number 8276 Forbidden rare artifact, and its effect was far inferior to those with three-digit numbers, the power of "Deep Green Forest" was particularly suitable for this occasion.

The next moment, the verdant wooden ring emitted a strong light!

Suddenly, a vast, hundred-meter-spanning mini-forest appeared overhead and plummeted down from the sky, then was drawn in by a silver orb, continuously absorbed by the orb, as Aldrich and Zayne both clung to the giant roots of the forest, watching the entire forest being sucked away by the silver orb!

Aldrich felt a bit dazed; the price he paid was not great, merely a few days of ongoing dizziness.

In fact, many times, the Forbidden rare artifacts with lower numbers are more cost-effective.

Even the lowest Collectible class Mysterious rare artifacts had their uses; he had always thought so.

The strength of a power always depends on how it is used.

"Are you Aldrich of the Romann family?"

Mr. Brandy suddenly realized who the other person was and couldn't help but speak up!

The Words of Tranquility had naturally looked into the Monarch powerful experts of Cyart when entering, and "Aldrich" as the heir of the Romann family had a well-known reputation, always ranked among the top few threats, just below those mid-level Monarch experts!

He had heard about it before.

That man was the "Omnipotent Hand," who always had a preparation and an ace up his sleeve in battle!

After the silver orb devoured the entire mini-forest, it finally disappeared, leaving Aldrich and Zayne completely unharmed, a pity that it had also swallowed dozens of innocent citizens of Fein City.

"I am the person you mentioned. Now tell me, who are you?"

There was a faint hint of murderous intent in Aldrich's voice. For nearly a century, he had never felt anger or rage, the only negative emotion that could arise from the depths of his heart was a cold, merciless killing intent.

"Humph!"

Mr. Brandy was just about to speak when Aldrich suddenly approached him rapidly again, that mountain-like palm coming once more in front of his face, pressing him fiercely against the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground cracked instantaneously, and Mr. Brandy lying on the ground, once again found himself unable to move.

"Who are you, and what is your objective?"

Aldrich's face showed red and black dragon scales while remaining remarkably calm; he waved his other hand, and the head of the frail half-elf old man among the four Tranquility followers suddenly exploded, blood and brains spilling everywhere.

"Answer me."

"I will ask one more time; one more of them will die for each time you don't answer."

"Humph!"

Mr. Brandy was finally thoroughly infuriated, unable to maintain his composure. He erupted with all his strength, attempting to push himself up from under Aldrich's hand!

"Crack!"

The ground further cracked and crumbled, waves of white mercury wildly escaping from his body, formidable power pouring out from his limbs, but the harder Mr. Brandy tried to exert his strength, the more he felt his face being pressed down by an immense mountain!

He was exerting all his might!

Yet, he couldn't rise!

"Bang!"

The head of the female student-looking Tranquility follower wearing silver bracelets also exploded, equally as gruesome in death.

Now only two of the four Tranquility followers remained: the man with white hair and a black eye-patch and another man tall like a tower. Both of their faces turned unsightly, tremors running through their bodies.

Too strong!

They had fully realized the strength of the "Dragon Taming Lord." If this composed man continued to grow, he would sooner or later become a successor not inferior to Duke Black Iron!

Unable to rise from the ground, Mr. Brandy heard Aldrich Romann's indifferent voice once again.

"Who are you? What is your objective?"

He did not answer.

The man of faith in Tranquility was silent for a moment before regaining his calm, then he slowly began to speak, his voice low and malicious.

"Respected Lord Aldrich, I have a secret... about the Fischer family that you would definitely be interested in."
