My Descendants Are My Power

As Nathan achieved Basic Mastery in the sky, unlocking the sixth level of the Death Coffin, the coffin's aura intensified, carrying him through the air with almost blinding speed.

A hint of melancholy flickered in Nathan's eyes as he stood atop the Death Coffin.

Having broken through to Basic Mastery, he could sense his old friends from Cloudview County. That's why, after the tribulation, he didn't even bother with the fleeing Shane and immediately appeared before Patriarch Ralph.

Yet, when he actually saw his old friend, the joy of reunion unexpectedly vanished.

He thought he was still the same person, but after over a century, he realized he had truly changed. He had become more timid, even... afraid to connect deeply with his old friends.

Because before them stood the Heavenly Path, the old grudges. What lay ahead was a battle for the survival of his family!

With this thought, his eyes flashed with black light, and he shot forward once more.

Meanwhile.

Above the Endless Forest, Shane was also making his escape using his techniques. His prime spirit had sensed Nathan breaking through the fifth level thunder tribulation.

He had even witnessed the ghostly hands from the Ghostly Gates crushing the eight-armed King Kong. That was... a human prime spirit technique!

"How is that possible? He cultivated a prime spirit technique right after breaking through? And his domain, his aura... he's already at the mid-stage of Basic Mastery? How... how is this possible?!!"

He understood now. It was all because of that coffin!

The third level Basic Mastery tribulation transforming into a fifth level one, the bestowal of rules upon Nathan, it was all the coffin's doing.

Such fortune was beyond his imagination. He had cultivated psychic powers for over thirty thousand years and had only managed to master two prime spirit spells.

Moreover, prime spirit spells varied in strength. He could sense a dangerous aura from Nathan's prime spirit technique, one that surpassed his own.

"What exactly is that coffin?!! I've investigated it for over a hundred years, but I couldn't figure it out. Yet, it granted Nathan such immense fortune and made a fool of me!"

Shane frowned in frustration. But just then, a figure blocked his path, startling him. When he saw who it was, rage filled his aged face.

"Lester?!!"

Lester, who had participated in the massacre of the Blackwood family at Azure Cloud Border Town, now stood in the sky, his domain fully unleashed. Numerous magic formations completely blocked Shane's path.

As the formations shimmered, Lester's face remained expressionless beneath his hood, the wind ruffling his empty sleeve.

His thin lips parted slightly. "Within the territory of my Divine Bird Tribe, there are few places you can escape safely. If I were you, facing such danger, I would flee back to the Bird Totem's base without hesitation. Or... towards another Tribe. The Moon Dragon Totem is the closest from here."

That direction... wasn't that towards the Moon Dragon Totem?

Cold sweat dripped down Shane's forehead. He hadn't expected his long-time companion to block his escape route, nor had he anticipated Lester's meticulous planning in intercepting him on his only path. "Lester, we've been together for years, and you're stopping me for an outsider? I am an elder, a Tribe elder!"

"I know."

Lester's voice was devoid of emotion as more formations materialized around them. "But you are foolish. You still fail to see Nathan's value to us Druids. The Blackwoods were destroyed, and Nathan's enemies are not only the Heavenly Path of Sunshine Mansion but also the national advisor of the Emerald Empire. That's why I agreed when Mike asked me to save him back then."

"Don't... Don't act like you're so high and mighty for the Bird Totem!" Shane roared in anger. "Didn't you also agree to take Nathan's coffin back then?"

"Value requires assessment."

Lester remained calm as water. "The coffin couldn't be opened, so naturally, it lost its value. You've been trying to get rid of Nathan for over a century to obtain the Death Coffin, haven't you? Unfortunately, you made another mistake by making a deal with Austin of Kylin Mountain. Austin is a Heavenly Path projection. I've heard stories about him.

If he grows powerful, I fear he will endanger our Bird Totem."

"Nathan is different. He owes our Bird Totem a debt, and he will repay it. As a Basic Mastery expert, he will seek revenge, and I am happy to witness it. It's just a shame..."

"You don't understand."

Clouds drifted past, and despite the bright sun, Shane felt a pervasive chill as Lester's words reached his ears.

At this moment, Shane knew with certainty that Lester, this emotionless bastard, was truly going to help Nathan kill him!

Lester saw greater value in this, and after weighing his options, he, a Tribe elder... was expendable. Moreover, in Lester's eyes, he was no longer pure, just a petty man willing to disregard the Bird Totem's future for his own selfish gain by colluding with Austin!

"I..."

Shane wanted to speak, but sensing Lester's killing intent, he choked back his words, his face ashen.

Behind him, the sound of something tearing through the air!

Nathan and Mike arrived side by side!

...

In the vast expanse of the sky, Nathan stared at Shane silently.

Over a hundred years had passed. After being rescued by Mike and falling into the hands of the Druids, he had to endure everything he once despised for the sake of avenging his family one day.

He had to linger on within the Druids Tribe, a group he once considered his sworn enemies. He had to marry nine burly wives just to survive.

He knew the truth.

The day he was brought back to the Druids, except for Mike who genuinely wanted to save him, all the other Druids were secretly delighted by his misfortune. He was like a caged beast, and they enjoyed seeing him, the one who had once repelled millions of Druids at Azure Cloud Border Town, being treated like a clown within their midst.

Even Shane had been toying with him, manipulating his soul, and crushing his once proud spirit.

But today...

Like the Dead Souls buried deep within the Ancient Battlefield, he had risen from the depths of darkness, standing tall before these three Basic Mastery Druids!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He looked at Shane, who was feigning composure. However, Nathan's Soul Rule allowed him to sense a terrified soul within Shane's body, a soul that yearned to beg for mercy but couldn't overcome its final shred of pride.

"Thank you, Master Lester. I will repay my debt to the Druids, to Mike, and to you."

Nathan smiled at Lester and Mike. "I will handle the rest myself. I owe you both too much, a debt I can never repay."

Lester's lips curled up slightly in response, and he simply nodded.

Mike, however, frowned, worry filling his eyes. "Mr. Nathan, you've just broken through to Basic Mastery. Are you sure about facing Shane alone?"

But Nathan's resolve was firm, leaving Mike no choice but to relent. He and Lester retreated into the distance, setting up a grand formation to prevent Shane's escape... and Nathan's.

This was the way of the Druids, settling internal disputes within a sealed arena. The victor lived, the loser perished, and right and wrong were decided.

As their totems rose, Shane, who had been ashen-faced, finally cracked a smile upon seeing Nathan choosing to face him alone. He saw a glimmer of hope!

He had fled because he feared Mike joining forces with Nathan.

But in a one-on-one battle, what did he have to fear?

The totems were revealed, their fates sealed. No outsider could interfere. These were the rules of the Druids!
