The warriors of the Origin Sect branch in Venninza City had all ingested the Apex Blood Pills concocted by Azaroth a couple of weeks ago.


    They had all experienced arge breakthrough and a couple of smaller breakthroughs in their energy.


    All the residual energy and their dormant potential within their bodies had been activated.


    Even Noah was no different. The Apex Blood Pill allowed him to break through to the 4 Star Rank.


    As a 3 Star Rank Warrior, he could already defeat some random 4 Star Warriors. But after this breakthrough, his power had been boosted significantly.


    Noah organized a team of fifty warriors and led them to the Heavenly Dragon Battleground Tournament.


    This Heavenly Dragon Battleground Tournament was different from a standard tournament. Instead of standard one-on-one fights, each participant had to bring a total of fifty warriors with him.


    An entire group would fight with amander leading them. Themander was the participant.


    Eachmander would be handed a special badge that couldn''t be replicated. They had to steal othermander''s badges.


    After 10 days, themander with the most badges would win this Heavenly Dragon Battleground Tournament.


    Unlike the Eclipse Battleground''s Tournament, this was an open tournament. All kinds of factions from the entire Glerian Kingdom could participate in it.


    Moreover, the rewards of this Heavenly Dragon Battleground Tournament were much greater than the Eclipse Battleground''s Tournament. It was the Royal Family of the Glerian Kingdom organizing this event.


    The King was going to appear as a guest for this tournament. The entire forest would be under his surveince.


    Unlike the Eclipse Battleground''s Tournament, where the random civilians were the audience and could view the fights, the same wasn''t the case for the Heavenly Dragon Battleground''s Tournament audience.


    Only the officials in direct service to the Kingdom could view the fights in this tournament.


    The seeded participants of this tournament were those retainers who had pledged their loyalty to one of the Royal Princes.


    Only if they had contact with one of the Royal Princes could they receive great resources required to build up a strong force and also work on their cultivation.


    ck Hurricane as the Fourth Prince naturally mixed his retainers among them as well. He had an uglyplexion because his retainers who participated in this tournament were very weak and ipetent.


    His truly strong and loyal human retainers had been burned to death by none other than Azaroth.


    This urred when ck Hurricane and his subordinates were nning to ambush Azaroth by staying in the fort.


    They had never expected Azaroth to purge that entire ce with his Hell mes!


    Only ck Hurricane found an opportunity to escape with his life intact. The rest of his retainers died.


    This Heavenly Dragon Battleground''s Tournament was a great opportunity for ck Hurricane. If one of his subordinates won or achieved a good ranking, he could begin to control a private army and use it to influence the other armies of the Glerian Kingdom.


    Just a bit of control over the Glerian Kingdom''s army would be sufficient for his n.


    But Azaroth''s intervention had destroyed those ns. He was now forced to change his ns and look for another method to control the army.


    This meant coboration with another Royal Prince of the Glerian Kingdom.


    Crario, the capital city of the Glerian Kingdom.


    The Crarian Forest near this City was where the Heavenly Dragon Battleground''s Tournament was organized.


    The King had pulled out ancient Draconic Bones from his treasury and buried them underneath the center of the Crarian Forest.


    Using these Draconic Bones as the center, arge array was constructed to prevent the Dragon''s Prestige and Aura from leaking out.


    The Dragon''s Prestige and Aura continued to build up within that array until it waspletely saturated with it.


    The purpose of these Dragon''s Prestige and Aura was to separate the diamond from the rubble.


    All warriors that have a weak aura surrounding them will be subdued to the point of immobility.


    A great general must possess enough aura that he and his subordinates wouldn''t be affected by this Dragon''s Prestige.


    Only then could they be useful for the Glerian Kingdom and deserved to be a general.


    Naturally, the Draconic Bones wouldn''t generate too great pressure for the 4 Star Warriors. The talented warriors at the 4 Star Warriors could resist it and safeguard their subordinates as well.


    When Azaroth had received the details regarding this Heavenly Dragon Battleground''s Tournament, he knew that these bones couldn''t belong to a true dragon.


    He was mostly sure that these bones belonged to a Flood Dragon.


    Even a 5 Star Warrior would find it difficult to resist its pressure if it was a True Dragon.


    For Noah, the pressure from a Flood Dragon would mean nearly nothing. He possessed an Enlightened Sword Heart.


    The sword in his heart was capable of resisting all sorts of illusions and suppressive aura. As long as he held a strong belief in his sword, no one could suppress him!


    Among Azaroth''s retainers, only Noah could resist the pressure from his Demon God''s Bloodline and fight back with the same intensity!


    Noah reached the Crario City with his subordinates. He remembered Azaroth''s instructions and took them to a tavern first and let them drink all the booze they wanted.


    The drinks in the capital were much more expensive than in Veninza City. However, their quality was much greater as well.


    After that, Noah handed over nearly 50 Gold Coins to each warrior under him.


    He then told them, "Do whatever you want with this money for the next 2 days. Have all the fun you want. However, you should be prepared for what happens next. You will be experiencing life and death battles every day."


    "There will be no time to rx. Only if you survive those next few days filled with life-threatening danger would you be allowed to enjoy to your heart''s content. So, go now," Noah''s tone was very grave and serious when he informed this information to his subordinates.


    Even though Noah was asking them to have fun, they could hardly rx. They knew that Noah wouldn''t lie to them. Since he mentioned that it would be a life-threatening danger for the next few days, they believed him.


    However, they maintained this mentality only until they reached the bar and had their drinks.


    Once they drank alcohol, it was as if their bodies were in a state of excitement. There was a feeling within them that they could do anything.


    Some were talking with theirrades. Some talked to strangers, and some were even dancing…


    The bar owners were astonished to see such arge and wealthy group. They thought they had struck a lottery.


    To make these warriors spend even more money, the bar owners sent their best hookers to seduce them.


    A lot of Noah''s subordinates ended up in a hotel room, enjoying one of the best nights of their life.


    The women who spent the night with Noah''s subordinates were utterly exhausted. However, they were happy because they knew they had struck it rich!


    Noah''s subordinates woke up and paid for everything they had done the previous night in the morning.


    They all gathered in the nearby za as instructed by Noah.
