Chapter #262. ChangeThe cloaked man threw his robe into the air. Zhao Yun was slightly surprised upon seeing the man's body. How could he not be! The man's body was full of stitches across his chest, abdomen, and shoulder joints. Just one glance revealed that his arms were artificial attachments, different in color from the rest of his skin.Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Tian rolled up his right sleeve. On his arm, there were also stitches, and the skin sewn onto it was a different color, with markings drawn across its surface.Back to the cloaked man, he struck his own chest with one hand, which bore a symbol in the center of his palm. That hand hit the area over his heart, where a black crystal was embedded.With just one blow to the crystal, the man’s body transformed instantly. His form shifted into a hybrid between man and bear.In just two breaths, the cloaked man had become a bear-man hybrid, with the upper body, arms, and head turning into that of a black bear, while his l

Chapter #234. SkinningZhao Yun placed the unconscious Li Tian into his small world. He didn't kill Li Tian because he wanted to extract a lot of information from him.“Ukh…”“Where is this?” he muttered softly.Li Tian’s groan marked his return to consciousness from his fainting.He awoke from his “sleep,” sat up while holding his head still spinning and looked around. He was convinced he was now inside a pit with scaly walls that acted as his prison.“He definitely locked me up in this place!”“I have to get out of here!” he muttered to himself.Li Tian stood from his sitting position and began inspecting the area. But before he could examine the surroundings, he froze, sensing something was wrong with his body.“Why can’t I use my power?”“I... I really can’t access my qi! What exactly is going on? Where am I?” said Li Tian in utter confusion.Creak... Creak... Creak...“I need to get out of here!” he shouted quickly.Still overwhelmed by confusion, Li Tian was startled when the la

Chapter #236. RevelationZhao Yun approached Duan Ying and confirmed the existence of two soul fragments within the storage ring. It was from the dark sorcerer none other than Duan Ying’s own disciple that the answers were finally obtained.She explained that the two soul fragments of the demon prince were retrieved from two different continents: the elf continent and the mixed continent. The black-robed groups assigned to search those lands were the ones who found them.“So you’re the one who placed them into the spirit sword?” Zhao Yun asked the demon woman.“Yes, I’m the one who did it,” the demon woman answered honestly.“Then where is the final soul fragment?” Zhao Yun asked again.“That’s exactly why I’m here on the demon continent. It’s my duty to find it. According to the information I have, the last soul fragment of the demon prince is within the demon empire.”“One of the demon kings is said to be keeping it. Rumors say the second demon king is the one holding the ancient so

Chapter #238. Old FriendZhao Yun returned to the real world. As he opened his eyes, he saw Ancestor Baiyin standing before him.“Let me handle the purification of the two ancient demon prince spirits.”“You should focus on advancing your realm,” Baiyin said flatly as his soul power drew the crystal orb from Zhao Yun’s hand. The crystal had now changed color after the battle between the three of them.Zhao Yun immediately focused on what was to come. Now, the tribulation clouds for his breakthrough began to gather above his small world. Those clouds seemed impatient to unleash their lightning upon Zhao Yun’s body.Without a long pause, the first bolt of lightning struck Zhao Yun’s body, marking the beginning of his breakthrough.Elsewhere, Baiyin calmly shattered the black crystal orbs in both his hands. The fragments released two silhouettes those of the demon princes Zhao Yun had just defeated.Wush! Wush!Two black silhouettes appeared before Baiyin. The three stood there, silently

Chapter #229. MessageZhao Yun spent the journey conversing about many things with Zhi Long and Tao Qian. What truly surprised him during their conversation was that both of them had taken significant steps he hadn't anticipated.Tao Qian had decided to merge his group with the Eastern Continent Dragon group that Zhao Yun had founded. Meanwhile, Zhi Long had left his sect. Zhao Yun's suggestion to re-examine the existing evidence had truly unveiled a new layer of truth. As Zhao Yun had suspected, Tao Qian was not the one responsible for the incident.Tao Qian made this decision after finding enlightenment from Zhao Yun’s words and their shared battle. That was why he ultimately decided to join the group Zhao Yun had formed.“I don’t know why, but I feel like there’s something else hidden behind all of this,” said Zhao Yun, staring at Tao Qian with suspicion.“Of course, because you’re my rival! Besides, only I get to defeat you.”“And beyond that, I’ve begun to understand that if I tr
