Lydia stood proudly in the sky. The gale howled straight at her, yet it couldn’t stir even a corner of her clothes. She looked like a celestial being who had descended into the mortal world, towering above all living things.

If Leander and Ethan had been there, they would have been utterly stunned. Lydia had always shown herself to be an ordinary woman. She had always been a gentle, capable wife and mother, never once revealing the slightest hint of martial power.

But now, she stood in empty air, suspended between heaven and earth. Her aura was so vast and boundless that even Gareth, standing behind her, was clearly inferior.

“Gareth,” Lydia said softly, “during this time–after Ander returned, and with you by my side as we traveled the world–these truly were the happiest days of my life. But now, this kind of life has to end.

“I still have my own destiny to fulfill. I promised the family twenty years back then. The time has come to honor that promise.”

Her voice was low and distant as she lifted Gareth’s face in her hands. Below them, countless tourists and passersby stared upward, their faces frozen in shock and disbelief.

Gareth ignored everyone else. His eyes were filled with sorrow, his voice heavy with grief.

“Lydia… do you really have to leave?”

She was his wife–his partner for twenty years. Even though, for eight of those years, Lydia had withdrawn from worldly life because of Leander, devoting herself to prayer and faith, their bond had never weakened.

The thought of Lydia leaving him, leaving the Ashcroft family, felt like a knife twisting in his chest.

“Gareth,” Lydia said with a quiet sigh, “you know the answer to that better than I do.

“The Brookhaven family’s strength–what you saw back then was only the tip of the iceberg. You should understand by now that they’re not something the Ashcroft family or the Florian family can be compared to.

“In the eyes of the Brookhaven family, even the world’s great powers don’t necessarily matter.

“Without using nuclear weapons, even a major nation couldn’t shake them in the slightest. That place exists on a completely different level from the secular world.

“Because of my promise, you and I were granted twenty years of peace. But I am a daughter of the Brookhaven family–and a chosen saintess. They won’t let me go.”

Gareth clenched his fists, as if trying to vent the last of his defiance. His voice dropped.

“Lydia, the Ashcroft family is nothing like it was twenty years ago. Even if the Brookhaven family tried to force the issue, it wouldn’t be so easy now. And Leander has risen. With his talent and potential, there may come a day when he can stand against their strongest figures.”

Lydia shook her head helplessly and sighed again.

“Gareth, you said it yourself–that’s the future.

“Leander’s talent and potential would rank at the very top even within the Brookhaven family, where geniuses are everywhere. Give him ten years, and more than ninety percent of their experts wouldn’t be his match. But that’s ten years from now.

“Right now, Leander hasn’t reached that level. If the Brookhaven family’s experts truly went after him, his chances of survival would be slim.

“As a mother and a wife, I cannot put you all in danger. I must return to my family.”

Resolve flashed through her eyes. Gareth stood frozen, knowing her decision was final.

He stepped forward, standing beside her in midair, and tightly grasped her hand.

“Lydia, I know I can’t change your mind. But one day, I will go to the Brookhaven family myself and bring you back–openly and honorably.

“That’s my promise.”

Lydia looked at the man she loved, standing there with such passion and determination. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she nodded softly.

The next instant, she suddenly tightened her grip on Gareth’s arm.

A surging force poured directly into his body. Gareth was shocked and hurriedly circulated his innate vitality to block it, but the power shattered through his defenses, flowing into every part of him.

“Lydia, what are you doing?” he cried, his face changing as realization struck him.

“I’m giving you a farewell gift,” Lydia said with a smile. “This is the last thing I can do for you. My man should stand above the world.”

The power grew even more violent, filling every cell in Gareth’s body to the brim. His cultivation surged at a terrifying pace. His innate vitality circulated, becoming denser and purer under the scouring force, gradually transforming into a far stronger, more refined Primordial Energy.

f any Infernal Crown Transcendents stuck at the King’s Triple Turn had seen this, they would have been stunned speechless–and mad with envy.

Gareth skipped the King’s Triple Turn entirely. His innate vitality transformed directly into Primordial Energy, and he was charging straight toward the King Phase.

“Ah!”

Feeling the overwhelming power within him, Gareth roared. The shockwave rippled across the sky. A radiant halo appeared above his head, blowing away the clouds as a brilliant canopy soared upward.

Throughout Etrax, countless martial experts turned toward that pillar of light, their expressions tightening. They all knew what it

meant.

A King Phase master had been born.

Inside the hall of Ashcroft Residence, Leander, Daphne, Ethan, and Reginald had gathered together. Mira, a young woman from a side branch of the family who had been awakened by the disturbance, stood nearby as well. She looked at Leander with curiosity and barely concealed excitement.

This cousin of hers–who dominated the world and stood at its very peak–had finally set foot inside the Ashcroft Residence. She
