Chapter 57: Two Rising Stars Shake the City
Two Rising Stars Shake the City
As the Salvatore Family continued to flourish, two names gradually became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Nux.
And Damien Salvatore.
Although every disciple had benefited from the family’s rapid rise, these two young geniuses advanced at a pace that left even the elders speechless.
After receiving Victor’s guidance that day, both had entered deep enlightenment within the courtyard.
Neither moved.
Neither spoke.
They stood there for an entire day and night, completely immersed in the truths they had glimpsed.
No one dared disturb them.
Everyone understood that opportunities like these came only once in a lifetime.
When Damien finally opened his eyes, an invisible Sword Intent burst from his body.
The air around him trembled.
His expression remained calm, yet the sword in his hand seemed to come alive.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, the blade released a soft hum.
The next instant—
Countless phantom swords materialized behind him, filling the sky like a magnificent river of steel.
Every disciple present stared in stunned silence.
Some instinctively stepped backward, while others forgot to breathe entirely.
The astonishing phenomenon quickly attracted experts from every corner of Aurelia City.
Within a single day, the news spread throughout the surrounding regions.
Damien Salvatore of the Salvatore Family had comprehended Sword Intent at only thirteen years old.
The announcement spread like wildfire.
His reputation exploded across the Celestial Dawn Empire.
Everyone understood what Sword Intent represented.
To countless swordsmen, it was the ultimate dream.
A dividing line that separated ordinary cultivators from true masters of the sword.
Many dedicated their entire lives to pursuing it.
Some reached the Heavenly Genesis Realm.
Some climbed even higher.
Yet they never managed to take that final step.
Not because they lacked effort...
But because they lacked talent.
Sword Intent could never be forced.
It required enlightenment.
It required destiny.
It required extraordinary natural talent.
Yet Damien had comprehended it at merely thirteen years of age.
Calling him a genius no longer seemed sufficient.
He was a monster.
A prodigy unlike anything the surrounding kingdoms had witnessed in generations.
The entire Celestial Dawn Empire was shaken.
Major sects immediately dispatched representatives toward Aurelia City.
Powerful families began making inquiries about the Salvatore Family.
Even renowned Sword Masters who had spent centuries pursuing the sword found themselves unable to remain calm.
One expert from the legendary One Sword Sect, a mighty cultivator at the Stellar Sovereign Realm, publicly declared that he wished to accept Damien as his final personal disciple.
The announcement caused another enormous sensation.
For the first time in countless years...
The once-overlooked Salvatore Family became the center of attention.
Naturally...
Along with Damien’s name, another figure became the subject of endless speculation.
Victor.
The mysterious Patriarch who had transformed a declining family into an unstoppable force within only a few months.
The man whose single sword strike had split the heavens themselves.
Rumors regarding his cultivation spread farther every day.
Some believed he had already reached the Grand Saint Realm.
Others insisted he was an Eternal Immortal Realm expert who had chosen to hide among mortals.
Some even claimed he was the reincarnation of an Eternal Emperor Realm supreme existence.
No one knew the truth.
No one could see through him.
That uncertainty only made him appear even more mysterious.
...
Nux awakened shortly after Damien.
The moment his eyes opened...
A terrifying killing intent surged into the sky like a crimson ocean.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop instantly.
The murderous aura was so intense that many nearby disciples instinctively retreated several steps.
Even experienced elders felt their hearts tighten.
His cultivation had advanced directly to the Eighth Layer of the Arcane Meridian Realm.
At that exact moment, a wandering cultivator at the Celestial Gate Realm happened to be passing through Aurelia City.
Mistaking the disturbance for an attack upon the Salvatore Family, curiosity led him toward the estate.
Unfortunately...
Nux had only just emerged from his Samsara enlightenment.
His consciousness had not yet fully stabilized.
The endless battles he experienced within the illusion still lingered in his mind.
Seeing an unfamiliar cultivator suddenly approach...
His instincts moved before reason could.
Without hesitation—
He attacked.
Like a crimson phantom, Nux appeared before the man in an instant.
The battle ended almost before it began.
Within only a few breaths, the renowned Celestial Gate Realm expert had been completely subdued.
Nux’s hand closed tightly around the man’s throat.
His crimson eyes were icy cold, overflowing with terrifying killing intent.
The wandering cultivator’s face turned pale.
No matter how desperately he struggled, he couldn’t free himself.
Had Max Salvatore not intervened in time and awakened Nux from his battle trance...
That unfortunate cultivator would likely have died where he stood.
The incident spread throughout Aurelia City almost immediately.
From that day onward...
Everyone understood one undeniable fact.
After Victor...
The Salvatore Family had produced yet another terrifying genius.
A young God of Slaughter.
Before long, both Damien and Nux became idols among the younger generation of the Salvatore Family.
Every child dreamed of becoming like them.
Every disciple cultivated with even greater determination.
Yet they all knew one thing.
Neither of those extraordinary youths had reached such heights through luck alone.
The man who had personally guided both of them...
Victor...
Had already become an unquestionable deity in the hearts of every member of the Salvatore Family.
He was no longer merely their Patriarch.
He had become the pillar supporting the family’s future.
Their faith.
Their hope.
Their heaven itself.
