Chapter 192 Velion Karl: A Soul Clone From the PastChapter 192 Velion Karl: A Soul Clone From the Past
Amid the chaotic battle in the forbidden grounds, a remarkable figure, Velion Karl, stood out among the crowd of formidable martial Emperor Realm powerhouses.
He was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties but his aura stuck out because of his cultivation realm.
Peak-Stage Martial King Realm.
He was the only Martial King Realm Cultivator participating in the battle.
Despite his relatively lower cultivation at the Peak Martial King Realm, Velion exuded an air of confidence and power that was hard to ignore.
Spectators from various factions commented fervently on Velion's origins.
He was known as the disciple of the Netherworld King, a title that bore immense weight and prestige.
His extraordinary talent had made him the center of attention, and now, he is fighting for the fabled treasure: the Nine-Dan Yin-Star Lotus.
The lotus was a renowned relic from the Nether Secret Realm, said to possess incredible properties capable of enhancing a cultivator's foundation and potentially catapulting them into the Martial Emperor Realm.
The allure of such a treasure was undeniable, sparking fierce competition among the Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses.
Those who were here were from three factions namely the Netherworld Palace, the Abyssal Sage Sect, and the Nine-Yin Sacred Land.
Amongst these three, the Netherworld Palace was the strongest. This could be seen as how both the Abyssal Sage Sect and the Nine-Yin Sacred Land had to team up against them but could at most bring the battle to a stalemate.
As the battle raged on, Velion who was besieged by two opponents had a cold expression on his face as he fought.
"You sure have guts don't you? You would offend me in my territory for this treasure?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hahaha! Prince Velion, don't overestimate yourself."
"That's right, you are not the Netherworld King. So why do I have to give you face? This treasure is very important to our sacred land saintess so you have to bear with me."
Velion frowned, "Mei Qing? I see, but unfortunately you won't win."
"Young Master take this!"
One of them suddenly unleashed a powerful attack at him while the other distracted him.
Bang!
An explosion rang out and many were startled. All except for the members of the Netherworld Palace.
"Master Kong, aren't you worried about your Young Master? You are still attacking me without a care in the world!"
"The young master will be fine, this is nothing."
"Oh, real-?!" Suddenly his pupils constricted as he saw a figure appear behind the one who just attacked Velion and pierced through his heart.
*Puchi!*
"Argh!"
Velion had unleashed his martial spirit, and an awe-inspiring transformation occurred.
His martial spirit took the form of a dark-winged, armored warrior with twin horns. Its menacing presence struck fear into the hearts of his opponents.
Velion engaged his other opponent, a formidable Martial Emperor Realm cultivator from the Nine-Yin Sacred Land.
His dark-winged martial spirit moved with unparalleled speed and precision, launching a lethal strike aimed at the heart of his adversary.
Those with him felt proud to be his followers.
Yes, followers.
A group of Martial Emperor Realm Powerhouses were happy at being the followers of this young man.
With the treasure secured and the future ahead, Velion Karl and his followers began their journey back to the Netherworld Palace, their minds ablaze with thoughts of conquest and the impending invasion that would shape the destiny of the Netherworld King's Territory.

As Arthur stood in the palace-like hall of the Battle Tower, the mysterious armored figure gazed at him with evident surprise.
The figure's armored visage hid any expression, but his voice held a tinge of disbelief as he uttered, "Who are you?"
At this time the figures face was revealed.
Initially Arthur had thought that this was the artifact spirit of the battle tower but that changed when he saw the face of that appeared.
With his senses sharpened, Arthur regarded the figure before him.
As the figure's face came into focus, Arthur almost couldn't suppress a widening of his eyes. He recognized this man, or rather, his soul did.
'One of my soul clones?! How come?!' he said in his heart.
Despite the jolt of familiarity that coursed through Arthur, he decided not to reveal his identity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead, he assumed an expression of mild confusion and introduced himself as Arthur Hartfield, a student at the Royal Academy.
"I just cleared the tower, Senior. May I be honoured to know your esteemed identity," Arthur said in a slightly humble manner.
Intriguingly, Arthur employed the power of the soul gem to veil his soul aura.
He knew that the man's recognition of his aura was due to his soul power leaking out as he used it to scan the place.
With his aura concealed, Arthur led the figure to believe that this sense of affinity they shared was nothing more than fate, a mysterious connection beyond explanation.
The armored figure, though still perplexed by the inexplicable familiarity he felt, seemed to accept Arthur's explanation.
The sense of affinity left a positive impression on him, and in the absence of any clear understanding, he allowed a measure of trust to develop between them.
"I see, Arthur you said? Good name."
"Thank you Senior."
"Hmm, it has been countless years and you are the first to arrive here. Wait a minute let me check..." The man's eyes glowed for a moment before being filled with understanding.
He let out sigh and said, "I see...It appears I failed in the end..."
His words made Arthur frown slightly for a moment as he wondered.
'Did he discover, something?'
The man's gaze turned to Arthur and within it Arthur saw a glint of intense desire.
'What is it?'
"Um, Senior?"
"Cough, cough...sorry about that. I was just thinking if you would want to make a deal with me?" He suddenly let out a smile that looked like those merchants who cheated people on the road.
"What?"
