Energy from the spirit stones slowly seeped into his body, moving through his meridians and merging with the inner energy he had begun to unravel. His body temperature rose. Sweat formed on his brow. Yet he didn’t flinch. The process drained not only strength but also concentration and sheer willpower. Every fiber of his muscles felt stretched. The meridians in his body expanded and contracted, adjusting to the incoming new energy. The aura around him grew denser. Leaves caught in the breeze around the waterfall began to float midair, frozen in time, as if the space around Tian Chen was being recalibrated. He controlled the flow of Qi with precision. The inner energy that had once been dense and crude now slowly transformed into a flow of Qi—gentle, yet far more lethal. Thirty percent had already been converted before, and now the remainder followed. Day turned to night and back again, but Tian Chen remained in a meditative seated posture. The energy from the twenty spirit stones w

Not long after, Tian Chen arrived at his destination. In front of him stood a large shop with an iron fence surrounding it, resembling a prominent horse stable in the city. Before he could say a word, a chubby man with a round face and hurried steps came out from behind the building. The man's gaze immediately locked onto Tian Chen. His eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly, as if still unsure whether his eyes were deceiving him. “I really feel like I’m dreaming,” he muttered before exclaiming more loudly, “My place is being visited by the strongest young generation of the Tianwu Continent!” His tone was high, full of admiration. The man smiled widely until his eyes nearly disappeared. Even though his body was large and his stomach protruded, his movements were nimble and full of energy. “Tell me what you need, young friend. I’ll give you the very best,” he said, pounding his chest with his right hand, the echo from his body sounding loud. His gesture contrasted with his pla

The young man floating in the air gave a faint smile, his gaze directed straight at Simei’s face. “My dear little sister, I’m your older brother. It’s only natural that you don’t recognize me—we’ve been apart for too long. Now that we’ve met, it’s time for you to come home. This small world is not your home.” His tone was calm, but behind the softness was an arrogance that couldn’t be hidden. “I don’t have a brother,” Simei replied coldly. “I am the only granddaughter of the Head of the Sacred Dragon Sect. So, I’m sorry, but I won’t be going with you. Besides, I don’t know you.” That statement caused the young man’s expression to shift. His faint smile vanished. He looked sharply at Daoyan, who was standing not far from Simei. “You old trash, how dare you claim she’s your granddaughter? It seems that worthless servant of yours told you my sister was his child, so you believed she’s your granddaughter!” His voice rose now. The words he hurled were filled with piercing insult. The

The young man didn’t even have time to react. Tian Chen slowly raised his hand, his fingertip barely brushing the opponent’s forehead. It was a light flick—no aura, no shockwave. And yet— BAANG!!! “EAAHH!!!” The young man’s body was flung backward in a curved arc. The shock wasn’t just from the power he received, but from the fact that he couldn’t resist it at all. He flew like a doll hurled violently, crashing into a hill outside the Sacred Dragon Sect. The earth trembled, large rocks tumbled from the slope, and dust burst into the air. Tian Chen remained floating in the sky. His gaze didn’t change. No pride, no anger. He merely intended to finish what had been started. But before he could move to pursue, two figures on his left and right suddenly vanished from their positions. The two women who had been standing calmly since the beginning now darted forward, flashes of fury clearly visible in their eyes. They had just snapped out of their earlier shock. “You bastard! Who d

The two women soared higher into the sky. The sky, once a dull gray-blue, now turned dark, covered by mist from the pressure of their expanding dragon forms. After reaching a certain altitude, both opened their mouths wide. WHOOSSHH!!! Two orbs of energy shot out from the mouths of the white dragons, each glowing like miniature suns. The energy was so intense that it forced the surrounding clouds to retreat, forming a clear circle around them. The energy spheres moved slowly, but they were dense. As they began to merge, the surrounding light dimmed, being drawn into the point of fusion. But just before the two orbs could fully combine— CRACK! The air split. A rift in space tore open with a deep sound, as if the sky had been slashed open by force. From the crack, a streak of golden light emerged, cutting through the wind and striking directly toward the two white dragons. WUUUNG The golden light didn’t burn, nor did it destroy. Instead, it wrapped around the two dragons with a
