“Are you talking about the Transcendent Realm?” Leander’s gaze lifted slightly at Grayson’s words, his expression shifting.
Over the years, Leander had journeyed through perilous lands and faced countless life–and- death situations. In those travels, he had stumbled upon ancient treasures and secret texts. Among them, he had come across records about the “Transcendent Realm.” Indeed, there were mentions of those who had reached this realm, but they existed only in history. As for what the “Transcendent Realm” truly entailed, Leander had never seen it with his own eyes, nor did he fully understand its nature.
Grayson’s face remained calm as he observed Leander’s reaction. “It seems you’ve heard of the Transcendent Realm p>
Leander shook his head. “I have, but as for what it truly is, I know very little p>
Grayson nodded in understanding. “That’s to be expected. You’ve only been in the martial world for a few short years. It’s impressive enough that you’ve even heard of the Transcendent Realm. Not knowing its true nature is perfectly normal p>
Grayson’s gaze deepened, and his tone became more solemn. “Most martial artists in the world believe that the Martial Sovereign realm is the ultimate end of the martial path. But the truth is, martial arts are far more complex than that. Even those of us at our level can’t claim to stand at the very peak. Beyond the Martial Sovereign lies the Transcendent Realm p>
His eyes gleamed with a rare intensity, shining brightly even in the dark night. “The Transcendent Realm refers to surpassing the Martial Sovereign, transcending the limits of mortal men, and breaking free from worldly constraints.
“It is a level where one possesses power over all beings and is able to roam the heavens and earth freely. Even a Martial Sovereign would be nothing more than an ant in comparison. Every top–tier Martial Sovereign in the world today is striving for this realm p>
Tsaric stood with his feet firmly planted, gazing at the night sky above. “Indeed. From the moment I learned that there was a realm beyond the Martial Sovereign, I dedicated my life to reaching it. Once you step into the Transcendent Realm, you gain unparalleled power, the ability to control everything. Even the outcome of wars can be changed by a single person.
“During World War II, there were whispers of Transcendent masters manipulating events behind the scenes, swaying battles between nations. Many brilliant victories were only possible because of their hidden influence, Compared to our current strength, the Transcendent Realm is what we truly seek. Once you reach that level, your power and lifespan increase tenfold. That is when we will truly stand above the rest of the world p>
Lionel looked from Tsaric to Grayson, his mind reeling. Although he had just entered the

Martial Sovereign realm, this was the first time he had ever heard of the existence of the Transcendent Realm. What shocked him even more was the immense allure of this realm. Even legends like Tsaric and Grayson, who were already considered unmatched in the martial world, had been striving for decades toward this ultimate goal.
With the power Grayson and Tsaric currently wielded, they were already capable of dominating any battlefield. The thought of an even higher realm–one far more terrifying than Martial Sovereign–left Lionel struggling to comprehend the sheer strength of the Transcendent Realm.
Suddenly, Lionel understood why Grayson and Tsaric had always remained ahead of their peers. From the very beginning, their sights had been set far higher than those of ordinary martial artists.
While Grayson and Tsaric revealed their burning desire to reach the Transcendent Realm, Leander’s gaze remained calm, showing no interest in the concept. It seemed that this so–called “Transcendent Realm” held no allure for him at all.
When Leander had his marital power destroyed by Gareth and was left abandoned in the wilderness, he relied solely on his willpower to create the powerful technique “Devourer’s Ninefold Path” and rebuild his martial cultivation. It was then that he realized the path of martial arts was limitless, filled with mysteries and unknowns. The Martial Sovereign realm could never be the ultimate peak of martial arts. Even the Transcendent Realm, as mentioned by Grayson, might not represent the final summit.
What Leander sought was to continuously ascend, always striving toward higher peaks without ever resting. As for the so–called Transcendent Realm, it held no significance to him.
Seeing that Leander remained silent, Grayson’s gaze sharpened as his eyes filled with a murderous gleam. “Jeff Ashcroft, I challenged you before because you injured my disciple and provoked me. But now, after seeing your current level, those trivial grudges no longer matter. You and I have both reached the pinnacle of the Martial Sovereign realm, with nowhere further to go
unless we break into the Transcendent Realm. This battle is no longer about personal vendettas–it’s about achieving Transcendence! Tomorrow, I will kill you p>
There was no hatred in Grayson’s words, only the sincere heart of someone devoted to the pursuit of martial mastery.
“Very well, I’ll be waiting!” Leander smiled faintly, his tone casual. He turned, stepping forward and gliding several dozen yards through the air, returning to the valley below. His figure quickly disappeared into the mist, but his voice lingered in the valley, echoing with an air of finality. “Tomorrow, only one of us will leave Glidewing Mountain alive p>
As Leander vanished, Tsaric’s eyes gleamed with intense light, and he spoke to Grayson in a low voice. “Tomorrow’s fight–regardless of which one of you wins–the victor will become my opponent p>

With that declaration, Tsaric’s body surged with sword energy, and he began his descent from the mountain, taking Lionel with him.
“This journey out of seclusion has been full of surprises,” Grayson muttered, gazing at the starry sky. His inner strength quietly merged with the swirling mist as if he were weaving something from the night itself.
Meanwhile, on the mountain path, Lionel had countless questions swirling in his mind, but Tsaric remained silent, leaving Lionel hesitant to speak. Finally, just as he couldn’t hold back any longer, Tsaric broke the silence. “I sense you are wondering why I struck at young Ashcroft earlier, Lionel, only to stop afterward p>
Lionel nodded, eyes filled with curiosity.
Tsaric chuckled and shook his head. “Lionel, with your current cultivation level, it’s difficult for you to grasp our true intentions. That strike wasn’t meant to harm Jeff—it was merely to test his strength. With my sword, I could easily cut through metal and stone, yet I couldn’t even scratch the pillar beneath him. That shows his level has already reached mine, making him a worthy opponent. I am only one step away from the Transcendent Realm, but that step requires a fated opportunity. It could happen tomorrow, or it might never happen. The simplest way to take that step is to find an opponent of equal strength and engage in a fierce battle that sparks a breakthrough. Both Shire and young Ashcroft are perfect candidates for this p>
As he spoke, Tsaric’s sword aura erupted, splitting the dark sky above as his voice grew cold and resolute. “They’ve already set their battle for tomorrow. All I have to do is wait for the result. After their duel, one will fall, and the other will survive. That survivor will be my greatest opponent, the one who will help me break through to the Transcendent Realm!
“This battle may seem like a duel between Ashcroft and Shire, but in reality, it’s a struggle between the three of us for the opportunity to enter the Transcendent Realm. Only the one who survives will have the right to ascend to that realm and reach the peak of martial arts p>
Lionel gasped, his body trembling with shock. He now understood that the next day’s battle would not just be any ordinary duel–it would become a legendary fight that would be remembered in the annals of history.
