Hei Tian Palace - Qi Tu DaluA heavy and tense atmosphere filled every grand hall and corridor of the majestic Hei Tian Palace, its walls adorned with intricate golden carvings that shimmered faintly under the dim light. The high-ranking officials of the empire stood in perfectly aligned rows before Emperor Jue Tian Yu, a man of commanding presence, their faces etched with anxiety so profound it was almost palpable.Seated upon the towering golden throne, Emperor Jue Tian Yu, the imposing ruler with eagle-eyed sharpness and a stern masculine aura, wore a grim expression that suppressed every soul standing beneath his gaze. None dared to lift their heads to meet his piercing stare, lest they invite his wrath.“It has been nearly one full month since I commanded the arrest of Zhan Fengxie,” Emperor Jue Tian Yu’s voice thundered through the vast hall, heavy and booming like a tempestuous storm raging across the sky.“Yet, until this very moment, not a single trace has been uncovered! Are
Ghost Town - First.
“What happened?” hissed Eadric Rong, the young and formidable State Master, his voice sharp with surprise and a hint of cautious curiosity.When the massive gates of Hundun Yaosai creaked open with an ominous groan, Eadric Rong did not find himself inside a dim, shadowy chamber as he had anticipated. Instead, before him stretched a vast expanse of lush green grassland that shimmered under the rising sun’s warm embrace.Surrounding him were towering willow trees, their massive trunks thick and ancient, with their sweeping leaves almost brushing the ground like delicate emerald curtains. Rows upon rows of hundred-year-old oak trees stood resolutely, their gnarled branches reaching skyward as if they were eternal guardians watching silently over this mystical place.“This scenery… what a stark contrast,” Eadric Rong murmured in awe, his deep voice filled with wonder.The golden rays of the ascending sun cast a gentle, warm glow that enveloped the entire area, bathing it in a serene beaut
Ghost Town - Second.
In a gloomy hallway shrouded in ancient miasma, deep within the first floor of Hundun Yaoisai - the legendary Ghost City that harbored countless secrets of cultivator legends."The archer is a girl?" thought Eadric Rong, the young State Master with piercing dragon-like eyes, as he took a closer look at the sturdy figure where a glimpse of feminine aura appeared like a lotus blooming in muddy waters.His keen senses, honed through countless battles, immediately discerned the truth behind the warrior's appearance.TRANG!The deafening sound of a sword clashing against demonic scales echoed through the ancient corridor like thunder splitting the heavens. The blade of the swordsman's spiritual sword struck the giant lizard's armored side with tremendous force.The vibrations shook the surrounding air with enough power to crack ordinary stone, but instead of being wounded, the lizard growled even more ferociously, its rage intensifying like an inferno.A terrifying grinning smile spread ac
Ghost Town - III.
"You have spilled innocent blood and threatened the weak," Eadric Rong pronounced coldly, his voice carrying the weight of final judgment."As the ancient Heavenly Scripture says: 'Those who disturb the balance must pay with their existence.' You must die." The words were sharp as celestial blades, almost hissing with power.In one swift motion that seemed to bend the laws of time itself, Eadric Rong swung the legendary Phoenix and Dragon sword, its blade singing through the air like a divine instrument.A brilliant flash of silver light shot out with unparalleled speed, splitting the very fabric of reality. The deadly sword aura split the air before finally slamming into the giant lizard's body with the force of a thousand thunderbolts.Cresk!The demonic creature's body was split cleanly into two perfect halves in a single slash of the sword, as though cut by the hand of heaven itself. Thick black blood sprayed onto the ground like dark rain, while the beast collapsed without being
A Small Village.
Eadric Rong followed Ayong's lead at a leisurely pace, his powerful stride relaxed yet purposeful, though his vigilant gaze remained alert as befitting a warrior in foreign territory.He slipped between the crowds with the grace of a hunting tiger, carefully watching the passers-by with their various weapons and belongings.The distinctive smell of demonic beast blood mingled with the exotic herbal scents and the smoke rising from the small furnaces of busy alchemists, creating an atmosphere that spoke of danger and opportunity in equal measure.In another lively corner of the Market, several practitioners were seen offering specialized alchemy services to eager customers. Some demonstrated the delicate art of spiritual weapon distillation, while others sold healing elixirs and energy-boosting pills of various grades and potencies.This small village was completely alive with the rhythm of commerce and adventure, full of hustle and bustle that spoke of life persisting even in dangerou
The Hunt for the Fire Elemental King
"Come on, Brother Guo, let's go hunt for the Fire Elemental King!" exclaimed Ayong excitedly, while running a little ahead. "Opportunities like this don't come along every day. World monsters like that rarely come out of hiding, especially since this class is often generous with their gifts!"Yizhan trailed behind him, his steps also quick in an attitude of anticipation.Before long, the three of them joined the other hunting groups. The more they stepped into each corner of the Ghost City, there was always a hunter that appeared.As time passed, more and more hunters joined their group.And now, the sound of the hunters' footsteps echoed along the street, creating a thunderous rhythm that made the heart beat faster."Ayong, what exactly is the Fire Elemental King like?" asked Eadric Rong, trying to keep pace with Ayong and Yizhan who were now walking fast.Ayong turned his head, his face serious even though his breathing was slightly labored. "The Fire Elemental King, or Fenghuo King
Confrontation with the Fire Elemental King
In no time, he was already about half a li away from the hunters he had left behind. Behind a bend in the winding Ghost City road, Eadric Rong slowed his pace.Eadric Rong's eyes were fixed ahead. In the dark sky, a reddish-orange light burned brightly, like a small sun rising amidst the darkness of Ghost Town. He looked up, watching the light source closely.While the air around him grew hotter, it felt like the embers of an ever-growing fire."Haha, you're the only one?" A hoarse voice echoed from the firelight. It sounded like it came from another dimension, full of vibrations that bounced in the hot air."Where are the other hunters?"Eadric Rong showed no trepidation at all.He straightened his body, staring directly at the source of the voice. "I'm alone. Why, are you afraid?" he asked in a provoking tone.A low laugh echoed out, mixing with the roar of the flames.Slowly, the orange light changed shape. The flames coiled, forming the silhouette of a ten-meter-tall giant man. Hi
The Mystery of the Vanished Fire Elemental King
However, when they arrived at that place, the atmosphere they encountered was completely unexpected.The area that was previously filled with an aura of heat and flames was now eerily quiet. There was no longer any sign of a fierce battle. Even the dust or debris that should have remained from the Fire Elemental King's body had vanished without a trace."Hey, what's going on? Didn't we see red and orange lights burning here earlier?" asked a cultivator in a confused tone. He cast his eyes around, looking for anything that might have gone unnoticed."That's right," said his colleague. "The heat that filled the streets earlier is gone. Even the Fire Elemental King's aura pressure has disappeared completely. Did he return to where he came from?"Doubt engulfed the hunters. None of them were able to give a definitive answer to those questions.Suddenly, a low but firm voice broke the silence."Perhaps there is an expert who preceded us," said someone from the crowd. "Perhaps he destroyed
Empowering the Phoenix and Dragon Swords
Eadric Rong gave them a quick glance, then handed the two friends a thousand Energy Stones each. "These are for you. I hope it's useful," he said with a faint smile.Ayong and Yizhan's faces immediately lit up, unable to hide their happiness and deepening respect for Eadric Rong. In their hearts, they vowed to maintain this relationship. Big Brother Guo was not only strong, but also generous and loyal."Now let's go. Do you guys have a place to stay? I need to settle something," Eadric Rong said as he walked slowly."Yes we do," Ayong quickly nodded his head.Actually, when all the hunters had not come to that place, Eadric Rong had opened four other boxes. From within those boxes, he found two objects that caught his attention: Pomegranate Red Stone and Black Stone.The Pomegranate Red Stone was a gift from the Fire Elemental King, an artifact that allowed the fire element to be incorporated into weapons, significantly increasing their attack power.Eadric Rong intends to use it to s
The Black Stone Refinement
However, instead of emitting glorious radiance, the stone only changed slightly. Eadric Rong opened his eyes and frowned."Low quality? Just like the Pomegranate Mirah Stone?" he muttered in a disappointed tone. But his resolve did not waver. He had already decided to continue the crafting process.In the world of cultivators, the quality of artifact stones played an important role in determining crafting success.Low-quality stones often have a very low chance of success—only about eight percent. However, for Eadric Rong, waiting for higher quality stones to come his way was not an option."It's better to take a risk now," he thought firmly, "than to keep hoping for something uncertain."The process of elemental unification began. Eadric Rong spent two full days in that cramped tent, struggling to combine the energies of the Phoenix and Dragon Swords with the Black Stone core.His hands moved non-stop, while Qi and spiritual energy continued to radiate with great intensity. He was ev
