Power!
That was what Bradley was feeling now.
He knew that he was far from the pinnacle of the cultivation world of this universe but with he current strength, he knew that the Immortal Realm wouldn't be able to contain him.
"Nora, haven't I become too strong within such a short period of time?" He asked Nora but she didn't answer.

[System Is Undergoing A New Version Update]
"For real?
It is ndergoing a new version update like phones and computers do?
I can't believe this.
So how long is it going to take?"
[Time Limit:---]
"Fuck! You don't even know when you are going to complete your update.
Well advanced version updates takes long so I guess you taking long would mean you version later would shock me." He said.
"Now let's me go check on Alexandra and see what surprise she has for prince charming.
Oh no! I forgot that I'm rather her Peter Pan now."
He got up from the Dragon Throne and left the throne room to the Exotic Chamber. He entered the room and saw no one there in the room.
"Alexa?"
Where are you?" Bradley called out her name but there was no answer.
He began to search the who room but he couldn't find her.
He stopped for a while and his eyes lit.
His Dragon Vision was activated.
Everything in the room became naked in front of him. It was then did he notice something was hiding within his shadow. He pretended as if hadn't noticed anything weird and continued to look for Alexandra.
How long could he pretended that he hadn't noticed anything weird.
Just as he was about to act, a lady's figure in a black wear emerged from his shadow with a speed of light and sent a sharp dagger attack aiming Bradley's neck. But who was Bradley?
How can he be assassinated in his own domain while he's aware of what's going to happen.
"Dragon Sovereign Aura!!"
"Boom!"
Everything within 100km of Bradley was oppressed by his Dragon Sovereign Aura.
With his right index and middle finger was a black dagger made from an ancient bone of an unknown creature.
"Ah! Why do you have to be hard on me like that? You nearly broke my bones with that aura of yours." The lady who came from Bradley's shadow to attack him asked.
"What's with all this drama and how did you become like this?"
"I became like this after awakening my Martial Spirit." Alexandra who was the lady in black said to Bradley.
"You know of Martial Spirits?"
This scenario was different from Elaine's own. It seems that Alexandra is more knowledgeable than Elaine in terms of cultivation.
"How did you know about Martial Spirits? Bradley asked with curiosity.
"She told me about it. Wait let me introduce you to her.
Meet Alexandre, my new sister."
A majestic, spectral figure of a woman wearing a crown of black dragon thorns. Her dress is made of "Void Silk" that flows like liquid shadows. In her right hand, she holds a translucent Stellar Bone Dagger, and in her left, a Latern of Lost Souls appeared behind Alexandra.
She looked at Bradley with her black eyes that was screaming death and bowed to him.
"It's a great honour to meet you again Primordial Oracle Dragon Ruler."
Alexandra's Martial Spirit said to Bradley with a voice from hell which gave Bradley goosebumps.
"Do you know my husband?"
This time around, it was Alexandra who was confused.
"Yes sister. Back in the days when you were fighting along with him against Chaos, I was there with you as your Martial Spirit. After you chose to reincarnate with him, I also did same with you and now that we have reunited again, I'm really pleased about that."
She explained to Alexandra who was now shocked and confused at the same time. She looked at Bradley for answers but she didn't find one.
'So Alexandra is one of my wives that chose to reincarnate with me?
Does that mean Elaine too is my wife from the past?' He asked himself.
"Alexandra, there are lot of things about us that doesn't make sense right now but trust me, you will understand all of them in the future as we grow stronger together. Okay?"
Alexandra nodded to Bradley and looked back at her Martial Spirit and smiled.

[System Update Completed]
"Nora, since you are back, check this Martial Spirit of Alexandra for me."
He said.

Bradley couldn't help but to be impressed with this fearsome Martial Spirit his lady was having.
With her Martial Spirit, she could be the Universe's most deadly assassin ever.
Bradley knew that if it wasn't for his Dragon Vision, there was no fucking way he could see Alexandra enter his shadow. She was also fast with her dagger attack which could kill many cultivators who are weak in defense and speed.
"Alexandre, I believe that is what you are called now right?"
The Martial Spirit of Alexandra nodded to Bradley.
"I know that you won't harm my wife and you would help her become stronger and for that I would love give you a gift for you to use in making my wife stronger."
After saying that, a black liquid like a drop of blood appeared floating in his right palm.
"This is Pure Darkness Essence condensed from my core with my Dragon Qi. I hope it would help you."
The black liquid flew from his palm and entered the chest of Alexandra's Martial Spirit.
