Chapter 001: The Rebirth of the True Martial
The Eldravan Empire. Thornreach County.Deep inside a long-sealed chamber of the once-mighty House Hanwynn palace, a scream shattered the stillness.Kaelen Viremont jolted upright, gasping, eyes wide with terror.“Where… where am I?” His voice trembled as he took in the dimly lit room. Ornate furnishings surrounded him—elegant, alien. Confusion twisted his features.“Wasn’t I dead? What is this place?”Then, like a floodgate opening, alien memories surged through his mind. Vivid. Unstoppable. He clutched his head as the torrent consumed him. Moments later, his breath evened out. His gaze sharpened.“I… I’ve been reborn?”“And it’s… three thousand years in the future?” The words barely left his lips before disbelief shook them.He frowned. “How can I even be sure? These memories… foreign, yet carved into my soul.”Once, in another life, Kaelen had been the crown prince of the Empire of Creation—a divine empire ruling the Spirit Realm with unmatched might.But fate had cursed him. Born u
Chapter 002: The Second Young Miss and the Gifted Sword
The guard froze in place, clutching his throat as his knees nearly buckled. Just a heartbeat longer, and he would have been dead.Next to him, the second guard trembled, muttering under his breath, “Even a stable boy in House Hanwynn… he could crush us. Talent blooms where you least expect it.”Inside the ancestral hall, the air felt thick with reverence. Hundreds of spirit tablets lined a towering sandalwood altar, each etched with the names of House Hanwynn’s ancestors. Candles flickered against the stone pillars, casting dancing shadows across the sacred space.Kaelen stepped inside, calm as ever, ignoring the ancestral tablets entirely. His gaze settled on the inner courtyard, where an old man slumbered at a wooden table, head resting on folded arms.A gentle knock broke the silence.“Who’s there?” the elder groaned, eyes half-lidded. “Can’t an old man nap in peace?”But the moment he saw Kaelen, he shot upright, blinking in disbelief. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, pressi
Chapter 003: This Life and Monstrous Talent
Kaelen’s eyes glimmered with quiet intensity.“Though the Divine Empire of Creation vanished three thousand years ago, my father once spoke of a hidden treasury,” he murmured to himself. “Deep within an unknown land, only he and a few trusted retainers knew the location. Inside… unimaginable wealth, ancient treasures…”But Kaelen shook his head. That pursuit was far beyond him—for now. His strength was still too limited.He turned to the elder before him, robes coarse, expression calm but serious. “What grade could that sword possibly be?” he wondered.Even a Yellow-grade sword—a step above Mortal-grade—would give him a huge boost in House Hanwynn.“Please… let it be that.”Clang!The sharp ring of steel echoed through the room as Kaelen drew the blade from its case. His heart sank immediately.“What? This… broken thing?”The sword was rusted, dull, edges chipped like it might crumble in a single strike. Kaelen’s face darkened.“You old geezer… are you messing with me?”The elder only
Chapter 004: The Bronze Battle Body and Bounty
For days, Kaelen hunted relentlessly through the vast Wild Forest.Blood, torn flesh, and beast cores from the savage creatures he felled fueled his cultivation. Each strike, each kill, sharpened him—body, mind, and soul.Three days later, deep in a misty, fetid marsh, a silver-scaled, eight-armed monstrosity screeched as Kaelen’s sword pierced its heart. The creature crashed to the ground, lifeless.Calmly, Kaelen retrieved its core, rinsed it, and swallowed it whole.Boom!Demonic essence surged through him, spreading like wildfire through his limbs and bones, converging in his spiritual core, feeding his true energy.Crack!A formidable aura erupted.Third Heaven of the True Martial Realm.In just days, Kaelen had leapt two realms. His cultivation had skyrocketed at a pace that would stun anyone who witnessed it.Beast cores were toxic to humans; their essence clashed violently with true energy. One wrong move, and death was guaranteed. Yet Kaelen defied the rules. He refined, absor
Chapter 005: Hunt in the Vyrecrest Mountains
Darian Vexmoor, Deputy Commander of the Frostfang Mercenaries Group, Ninth Heaven cultivator… relentless. For days, he had tracked Kaelen, forcing the boy into constant retreat with his Wind Thunder Bow.This was no ordinary weapon. Forged from refined iron, runes etched along its limbs, the Xuan-grade bow carried lethal energy with every shot. Even Kaelen’s Bronze Battle Body couldn’t fully tank it. Evade or die—that was the choice.Crouched beside a blood-streaked forest trail, Darian’s golden eyes gleamed.“You can run all you want, kid… but you won’t get far,” he muttered.Above him, his eagle soared, scouting ahead. Every inch of the Vyrecrest Mountains was now Kaelen’s hunting ground. And his trap.Half a million silver coins dangled over Kaelen’s head—a bounty set by Kael Draven himself. Mercenaries drawn by greed swarmed the mountains, yet Darian wanted it all.“Why share the reward,” he whispered, “when I can have the glory—and the silver—for myself?”He followed the blood tra
Chapter 006: Venom and Awakening
“Don’t celebrate just yet.”The voice cut through the canyon like steel. Kaelen Viremont stepped forward in his flowing white robes, eyes sharp, unyielding. He glanced at Seraphina Valemir.“That Venomous Mad Python behind us—I only took out one of its heads in a sneak attack. It’ll be even more furious now. We’re far from safe.”Seraphina paled. Her gaze fell. “I understand,” she whispered.They dashed toward the canyon’s edge, barely touching the ground. Yet the python moved faster, its massive body a blur of scales and muscle.“You’re too slow,” Kaelen muttered.Without hesitation, he swept Seraphina into his arms, hoisting her onto his back.“S-Savior… be careful…” she whispered, clutching him tightly. Cheeks flushed from exertion. Fear mingled with a strange warmth of safety in his embrace.Kaelen didn’t answer. His focus was on the monstrous serpent charging toward them.Buzz!In one fluid motion, he drew the Wind-Thunder Bow. Eyes, arrow, bowstring aligned—a lethal line aimed at
Chapter 007: Awakening of the Dragon-Elephant
The sun dipped low over the canyon, spilling molten gold across jagged cliffs. Kaelen Viremont’s white robes caught the light, gleaming so brightly he seemed less a man, more a young immortal walking on sunlight itself. Each step on the canyon floor carried quiet authority. The world bent subtly to his presence, though beneath that effortless grace lay an ancient solitude—a weight born of countless battles, past failures, and the venom still pumping through his veins.The Creation Divine Art pulsed relentlessly inside him, assimilating the demonic essence of the Venomous Mad Python. In just half a day, Kaelen had shattered two bottlenecks, reaching the pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven of the True Martial Realm. Each heartbeat sounded like thunder through the canyon. Mortals would have bowed—or fled.From the shadowed cave behind him, Seraphina stirred. She stepped into the fading light just as Kaelen paused, framed against the fiery sky. Breath caught. So radiant. So otherworldly. For a he
Chapter 008: Awakening the Primordial Sword
The great canyon lay silent behind him, shadows stretching like dark fingers across jagged cliffs. Kaelen tightened the strap of his pack, eyes scanning the wilderness ahead. Fortune had smiled these past days. Hidden in shadowed valleys, he’d found the rare spirit herbs—the exact ones listed in the bounty back in Raven Hollow.One hundred thousand gold coins. Enough to change a man’s fate.Yet Kaelen’s mind wandered elsewhere.True Martial Realm, Ninth Layer. Three Currents of Dragon-Elephant Energy. Art of Primordial Creation, First Layer, Bronze Battle Form.He murmured each milestone under his breath, memorizing every detail. The canyon that had witnessed his rise faded behind him. Ahead lay the wild, and his resolve was unshakable. A flicker of killing intent sparked in his golden eyes. Today, the Frostfang Mercenaries Corps would pay.Vyrecrest Mountains RangeAt the mouth of the treacherous peaks, the Frostfang Mercenaries waited. Their captain, Kael Draven, stood at the cente
Chapter 009: Savage Might and Unseen Power
The Sword Sect. Legendary. Not just famous—they were untouchable. Most people wouldn’t dare breathe near them, let alone step into their path.Two disciples stood in the center, unmistakable. One neat, embroidered “Sword” on their cuffs. That alone screamed prodigy. But prodigy or not, the opposition didn’t care. Dozens of black-clad warriors circled them like wolves, moving with deadly precision. Inch by inch, the two were cornered, battered, pushed toward desperation.“Heaven-Earth Blazing Sun Sword!”The male disciple roared. The sound ripped through the air like a blade itself. His sword flared golden, light erupting along the edge like a miniature sun. A sword beam shot forward—ten meters, maybe more—splitting the sky like divine judgment.“Shield!”The black-clad warriors didn’t flinch. Shields flared with glowing runes, merging into a massive wall of darkness that swallowed the sunbeam effortlessly.“Junior Sister,” he growled, teeth clenched, muscles trembling, “their methods…
Chapter 010: Boundless Power and Mutual Destruction
“Run away? Why would I run away?” Kaelen’s voice was calm, almost teasing. Aurelia Duskryn’s glare burned hotter than wildfire, but he didn’t flinch. Not a twitch. He spoke as if nothing at all had erupted around him.“Oh? Aurelia, you know Kaelen? Even better,” Serenya said, her surprise melting into a dazzling, almost heart-stopping smile. “Kaelen is an unparalleled genius of House Hanwynn. And when the time comes… I’ve decided you’ll be married to him.”“What?!”Aurelia’s shock exploded into pure rage. She nearly leapt from her feet, voice trembling. “Sister! You actually want me to marry this… this stable boy? The one who feeds our horses?!”Slap.Serenya’s hand struck her cheek—sharp, cold, and final. Aurelia staggered, mouth agape. Her sister’s eyes hardened, cutting through her like winter steel.“Aurelia… what did you just call Kaelen?”Tears sprang as Aurelia clutched her cheek. “Sister… has Kaelen bewitched you? He’s nothing but a worthless adopted son. Always feeding my hors
