Chapter 167: Power Up
Clap, Clap, Clap!
Inside the main street of Guava City, the crowd stretched endlessly along both sides. Waves of applause echoed warmly for the warriors of the new ruler who had taken the city by storm.
Igaris stood atop Serynthia, arms folded across his chest, eyes steady as his army marched forward in unison toward the Vance Estate, which was formerly occupied by House Ecrox.

The estate sprawled over nearly a kilometer, its grand halls lined with towering pillars, precious stone flooring, and carvings of ancient heroes. House Vance had once stood second only to the Skadi Empire. The majesty of its domain still echoed through the corridors.
Now, that power had returned. And it belonged to Igaris.
After a thorough inspection of the estate, Igaris discovered something priceless.
Hidden deep within the treasury were immense stores of cultivation resources: Spirit Stones, Beast Cores, Mana Orbs, Qi Stones, and various rare energy cores. Their quantity was staggering—more than one hundred thousand, ranging from low grade to top grade.
Igaris remained calm as he swept them all into a sealed space within his inner world, a secret domain where he could summon them at will.
