271: Zora's Technique
Abigail and Kai wasted no time. The moment the beast’s roar split the air, they both dashed forward, two streaks of light cutting through the dense fog of the Black Forest. The earth trembled under the sheer momentum of the beast’s charge, claws gouging deep trenches into the soil, but neither of them flinched.Kai met it head-on, muscles coiling like drawn steel as he clenched his fist. He inhaled deeply, channeling every ounce of energy within him into his arm. Punisher Fist. His golden aura flared violently around his knuckles, rippling the air as his feet smashed into the ground, propelling him upward and forward with explosive speed.The impact landed square on the beast’s chest.BOOM!A sound like thunder echoed through the clearing. The shockwave blasted dust, rocks, and shattered bark in every direction, creating a crater where they stood. But instead of hearing the satisfying crack of breaking bones, Kai’s eyes widened in surprise.His punch had connected but the recoil that
272: Down.
Darius and Liang both stiffened, eyes widening. For a split second, they thought Kai’s arm had finally given out under the overwhelming force of his own attack. Darius even took a half-step forward, ready to intervene before the fool snapped his own bones apart. But then the sound of cracking turned into something else and it was something unnatural. The faint golden light running across Kai’s arm shimmered, and before their disbelieving eyes, the twisted flesh and bruised bones straightened themselves. The fractures healed instantly, smoothly, as though the damage had never been there. His veins pulsed faintly gold, and the wounds sealed shut like the heat of the lava itself was flowing through his bloodstream. “What the...?” Liang breathed, his jaw dropping. “He just... he just healed that?” Darius let out a low whistle, grinning despite the shock. “Hah… so that’s what the old man’s been teaching him. That’s not body cultivation anymore... that’s cheating.” Kai didn’t respond
273: Deeper.
The entire forest seemed to go still after the echo of that last clash faded away. The scent of scorched earth and blood lingered in the air, while the four of them stood motionless, their chests rising and falling from the aftermath of battle.Dariu let out a long, shaky breath, wiping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. “Damn…” he muttered, his voice low but full of awe. “Remind me never to spar with that kid when he’s in a bad mood.”Liang nodded beside him, eyes still glued to Kai, who was catching his breath a few steps away. “That… wasn’t ordinary,” he said slowly, his usual calm tone replaced with genuine unease. “The technique he used, those three punches, it wasn’t like any body cultivation technique I’ve ever seen. The first one looked manageable, but by the third…” He trailed off, shaking his head.“The third didn’t just hit,” Darius said, his brows furrowed deeply. “It devoured everything around it. Even the air bent under the force. I could feel it from
274: Drug In The Air
The forest grew darker as they pressed on, shadows stretching long and restless beneath the canopy. The air had changed, it was heavier now, even quieter. Even the birds had gone silent, and that alone was enough to make Darius’ instincts flare.They were halfway through a narrow path when movement flickered to their left. Leaves rustled, boots crunched over fallen branches and then, emerging from between the trees, came Wei and his group.The moment Kai saw him, his expression cooled. Wei, on the other hand, looked far too relaxed, his lips curving into that smug grin Kai had come to dislike. The man’s robe was spotless despite the bloody forest trail, his team following closely behind him, carrying beast parts in sealed sacks.“Well, well,” Wei drawled, folding his arms as his sharp eyes swept over them, pausing for just a moment on Abigail before locking onto Kai. “Didn’t expect to see the Grand Elder’s golden boy out here on this path so soon. Looks like someone’s been getting com
275: Berserk Beasts
The moment they said that, the entire forest erupted into chaos.A thunderous roar shook the ground beneath their feet as trees trembled and shadows darted between them. One after another, pairs of crimson eyes appeared from the darkness, beasts of all shapes and sizes crawling out from every direction. Their howls echoed across the forest like the cries of a nightmare come alive.“Shit,” Darius spat, his voice hard as steel. “We’re surrounded.”Dozens, no, hundreds of beasts emerged, each one drooling, their bodies trembling from the berserk drug coursing through their veins. Even the smaller ones, normally too timid to approach humans, were now baring their fangs.“Perfect,” Liang muttered, drawing his blade and glancing at Darius. “He’s really done it this time. That damned bastard Wei’s powder spread farther than we thought.”Darius’s eyes narrowed, his aura bursting out. “No time for cursing now. We fight.”“Like hell I’m dying here!” Abigail yelled, drawing her sword and steppin
276: Counter-powder
Another blast from Kai’s halberd shook the clearing, dust and broken roots flying everywhere but when the light faded, the beast still stood. It staggered a step, smoke rising off its scales, yet there wasn’t a single wound on its body. Only a faint scorch mark that vanished as its skin pulsed with energy again.Kai’s breath came out ragged. No damage?Before the beast could recover, Darius blurred past him. “Step back!”His sword gleamed like a bolt of lightning, and with one clean motion he sliced through the creature’s neck. The head fell with a heavy thud that made the ground tremble. Black blood sprayed into the air as the beast’s body twitched and went still.But there was no time to breathe.From the distance, two more monstrous shapes crashed through the treeline, their roars shaking the heavens. The ground split beneath their steps, and the pressure from their combined auras made the air ripple.“Two more ...Void Infant Realm!” Liang cursed, spinning around. He cut down a wav
277: Back To Sect.
When the last echo of the beasts’ roars faded into the forest, silence returned. The group stood there for a moment, panting, blood-smeared and exhausted, before slowly turning toward the figure who had saved them.The haze cleared, revealing a tall man, his expression was calm but firm, his gaze sharp.“Senior Brother Yun…” Darius exhaled, shoulders sagging in relief.It was Yun Fei, the one in charge of all the hunting teams, and seeing him, everyone let out a collective breath they hadn’t realized they’d been holding. The battle fatigue, the adrenaline, the fear, they all crashed down at once.Abigail wiped her blade clean with shaky hands, muttering under her breath, “Finally…”Kai said nothing, but the way his fingers loosened around his halberd spoke enough. His golden aura dimmed, and in a flash of light, the weapon vanished back into his body.They were all weak, drained beyond words. So, each of them immediately took out pills to recover their Qi. The faint smell of herbs fil
278: Another Challenge.
When they finally arrived at the sect gates, the golden insignia of the mountain peaks rising behind the mist felt like a long-awaited sight of home. Everyone most especially Kai's group, looked drained, clothes torn, faces pale, Qi depleted and yet the air around them was heavier than exhaustion. It carried the silent understanding that what had happened in the forest would not be forgotten easily.As the disciples dispersed toward their respective peaks, Kai paused when a disciple came running down the stone steps,“Brother Kai,” the boy said between breaths, “the Grand Elder asked for you and is waiting for you.”Kai’s brow lifted. “Waiting for me?”“Yes, he said it was urgent.”Kai gave a curt nod, glanced once at Darius and Abigail, both of whom waved him off tiredly and immediately turned toward the towering stairway leading up the mountain. His pace quickened the higher he climbed, his heartbeat echoing faintly with every step.The mountain air was cool and still, broken only b
279: To Get Stronger
After the Grand Elder left, silence filled the vast chamber. The faint hum of lingering spiritual energy echoed through the air, but Kai stood unmoving, his eyes fixed on the scroll in his hand. The old man’s words played over in his mind, strength, survival, and preparation for the Secret Realm. He exhaled slowly and clenched his fists.He knew what he had to do.“I’ll cultivate first,” he muttered to himself, his tone calm but resolute. “Maybe this time… I’ll break through.” His gaze softened slightly as he added under his breath, “And after that, I’ll forge the armor for Abigail. She’ll need it more than anyone.”With that decision, he turned and began walking toward the lava region, the only place where he could truly temper his body.The deeper he went, the air thickened with unbearable heat. Waves of molten energy shimmered in the distance, the fiery glow of the lava reflecting off the jagged stone walls. Each step burned against his skin, and the metallic scent of heat and sulf
280: Determined.
Two months passed in a blur. Time lost its meaning in the endless roar of molten fire and the rhythm of Kai’s steady heartbeats echoing through the Lavare region. The disciples who once whispered about the screams from the depths no longer did because Kai no longer screamed. The agony had been replaced by silence.Deep within the inferno, the figure that once howled in pain now stood unmoving. His skeleton no longer gleamed gold. It shimmered a translucent brilliance like crystalized light. The bones were no longer metal… they had evolved into something far beyond mortal comprehension. Diamond bones.When Kai finally opened his eyes, flames danced within his sockets, the reflection of the molten sea below him. Slowly, he clenched his fists, and the air trembled. Even the lava reacted, rippling outward from the sheer density of power rolling off him. A faint grin curved his lips.He whispered softly to himself, his voice rough but steady, “Diamond bones… finally.”According to the Eter
