His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0604 In the annals of ancient martial arts, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that flows was a well-documented phenomenon.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not uncommon in ancient martial arts records.

Many martial arts masters found themselves stuck at the Lord of War 's peak level, unable to progress any further, as they approached the final step of their martial arts journey. 1 In those days, warriors exhausted their wits in search of the elusive breakthrough, and they all agreed on one thing: they needed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth itself! A fighter's journey was one of self-refinement, transforming the body into a crucible, refining their physique, opening up meridians, nurturing their mental power, gradually forming vital energy, dominant strength, and spirit energy. After reaching the Lord of War realm, they can even unleash the Lord of War Domain. That was considered reaching the I peak level of human fighter ability.

Yet, that spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not something one could simply cultivate.

It was a stroke of destiny, a wondrous power birthed by the natural world, and the ancient Lords of War sought it with a fervor, for it was the key to transcending the Lord of War realm and entering a state of being that was nothing short of extraordinary.

"This sensation..." Alexander stood at the base of the volcano's mouth, the jade amulet in his grasp quivering with intensity. Waves of warmth surged through his body's pathways, converging in his core, and there, like a gentle stream, they began to coalesce into a distinct and powerful - sphere of energy.

Crack, crackle! Inside Alexander, a mysterious barrier that seemed to defy understanding was under siege by a powerful force. It was the Lord of War's barrier, the very threshold of martial mastery, the critical point that one must surpass to ascend beyond the rank of Lord of

War.

After an intense half-hour, the energy finally began to ebb. Alexander's eyes dimmed from their inner glow, his skin losing its ephemeral sheen, returning to normal as his breaths drew long and steady.

He remained at the peak of the Lord of War, not quite breaking through. Yet, he felt stronger, closer to shattering that final barrier.

"Alexander?" Amber's voice quivered in the pitch-black, her arms wrapped tightly around his. "It's so dark. Now that we've got the jade, can we go? I "And since the jade amulets seem to I connect... maybe we could take them to the “Northwest mines to try our luck? "You mentioned a magnetic field in the ninth mine, right? Maybe..." That's it! A spark lit up in Alexander's eyes, his face breaking into an eager grin.

"Amber, we're heading back to the Northwest, now!" "We're going to claim that third jade amulet, no matter what!" Wyverna's Northwest was alive with celebration at the Wafford Mining Corporation headquarters. Flowers lined the path, employees cheered, and fireworks lit up the sky—a spectacle of welcome, all orchestrated I by the ever-thoughtful Vinicent Reath. I The power players of Wafford Mining, Amber, the savvy General Manager of New Cheshire Group, and Alexander, the astute Security I “Minister, had come down personally, a testament to the weight of the situation.

"Alexander, Amber..." Vinicent watched from the building's entrance, his eyes narrowing with a flash of icy fury that most would miss.

The night before, the news had hit him like a punch to the gut: Hesberg was dead by Alexander's hand, and the Black Maple master

was left reeling from severe injuries. Every plan Vinicent had meticulously setup had crumbled to dust.

Then, it was down to him and the Northwest branch of the Black Maple Organization. They had their orders from the master: get that jade amulet hidden under the ninth mining area, no matter the cost.

"Vinicent, always the hard worker, aren't you?" Two kilometers from Wafford Mining, Alexander drove with a relaxed ease, glancing at Amber, who sat beside him. He flashed a knowing smile. "He's one of Black Maple's own, and yet he's clueless that we're onto him.

He thinks his secret's safe. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"And what do you think he's itching to do now? "he asked.

Get his hands on that jade amulet, obviously.

Amber turned to him, her expression playful as she stuck out her tongue. "Let me guess, you're thinking of letting him sweat it out, right? Use Vinicent to reel in the big catch, to sniff out Black Maple's hideout in the

Northwest? "Am I on the right track, Alexander?" She was every bit the General Manager of New Chesire Group, every bit Alexander's astute wife.

Alexander looked at her with adoration, his mind drifting back to that fateful encounter with Yevgen Jaquin on Yewspire Mountain, the memory igniting a spark in his eyes that grew brighter by the second.

Sinew-Melting Blood-Dissolving Powder! During the showdown at Yewspire Mountain, Yevgen, one of the Black Maple Organization's Four Guardians, fell to Alexander's swift strike.

-He had taken the lethal Sinew-Melting Powder beforehand, making interrogation impossible.

The poison took effect instantly, and he died without leaving a trace.

It was clear that the Sinew-Melting Blood- Dissolving Powder was a last resort for the Black Maple Organization's inner circle, a deadly secret kept to avoid capture and protect their clandestine operations.

"We'll need to outsmart Vinicent to extract any information from him." Alexander floored the gas pedal, and the armored car raced toward the towering Wafford Mining Corporation office, a subtle smirk playing on his lips.

"Vinicent is after the jade amulet, so let's make sure he gets it—on our terms." Whether it was the enigmatic Black Maple or Vinicent himself, neither could have imagined that Vinicent's every action was being watched by the vigilant Juno, the Duke of War.
