Chapter 021: The Vault of Legends
Time gnawed at Kaelen relentlessly, every second like a predator’s teeth sinking in. Chaos bellowed at the city gates, threatening to spill into the central hall, yet he remained calm—serene, almost untouchable. The golden Celestial pill in his hand pulsed with power, scanning the hall like a living radar.“Wind boy… meditating at a time like this?” Scar-faced Uncle’s voice trembled, a mix of awe and worry.Kaelen’s eyes snapped open, a sharp grin splitting his face. “Found it.”The uncle froze. “What? Found it?”“Just follow me.” Kaelen strode to the golden dragon throne in the hall’s center and slammed his hand down.Boom!The throne shattered into countless fragments. Beneath it yawned a hidden passage.“An underground passage!” Scar-faced Uncle’s eyes widened. If he’d searched alone, he might’ve torn the hall apart. Kaelen found it instantly, eyes closed.“Wind boy… are you the son of some great martial master, or a descendant of an ancient family wandering the mortal realm?” Curi
Chapter 022: The Awakening Inheritance
Kaelen’s eyes went wide. “You… practice demonic cultivation?”Scar-faced Uncle shook his head slowly, a sly, unreadable smile tugging at his lips. “Yes… and no.”Kaelen frowned, suspicion flickering across his face. “What do you mean by that?”The older man extended a hand. True qi spiraled around it, a dazzling whirlpool of pure Yang energy, demonic aura, and forces Kaelen couldn’t even name.“Multi-attribute true qi?” Kaelen’s curiosity sparked. “You’re cultivating multiple inheritances at once?”Scar-faced Uncle chuckled, low and almost bitter. “It’s a secret. If the wrong people found out, ancient families would hunt me down without a second thought.”Kaelen nodded slowly. The tavern owner—so ordinary, so unassuming—harbored a past far beyond what anyone could guess.After a moment, the older man leaned closer. His voice was low, commanding, almost hypnotic. “Wind Boy… aren’t you curious about an inheritance like mine? Don’t you want it?”It was obvious. He had fended off countles
Chapter 023: The Purple Wings of Fate
“Kill!”Kaelen’s body exploded in dark-gold light as the Demon Lord Armor roared to life. True qi surged like a storm, flooding every fiber of his being. The colossal corpse before him loomed like a mountain—twisted, grotesque—but he stepped forward anyway, without a flicker of hesitation.Boom!His gauntleted fist slammed into the giant’s chest with a thunderous crack. Crimson demonic energy snaked across the dark-gold metal, forming a beam that shredded the monster’s armor like paper.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!The giant shuddered, a roar shaking the ground. Its armor—once Kaelen’s own—mocked every movement, now turned against him.“The Demon Lord Armor… unbelievable! Wind boy, forget clearing the path—we should bring this beast down together!” Scar-faced Uncle shouted, eyes sparking with fiery intensity.Kaelen shook his head, golden light flickering across his form. “Even with this armor, I can’t hold this power forever. We won’t kill it. You have to blast the path ahead.”“Understood.”
Chapter 024: The Awakening of the Demon Lord
“If this were the old me… I would have run a thousand miles. But now?” Kaelen’s voice boomed, deep and unyielding, echoing from the metal mask of the Demon Lord Armor. “I feel no fear. I sought only peace in cultivation, yet you dare strike and threaten my life? Very well. Today, both of you will pay.”Boom!A surge of pure, relentless true qi erupted from him, amplified by the armor. His aura instantly rivaled the mightiest of Celestial Martial Realm experts.“Ancient Dragon-Elephant Fist!”He lifted his fist high, and the air around him seemed to shiver. It was as if an ancient god had awakened. Dark-gold gauntlets shimmered, radiating molten demonic light.Boom! Clang!Six colossal, ethereal dragons and elephants fused with his strike, their roars shaking the heavens. One blow shattered the Qiankun Blazing Sun Sword and Tian Yangsheng’s golden halberd midair.“What?! One punch… destroyed two supreme Celestial Martial Realm experts’ attacks?” “There’s… a practitioner of demonic arts
Chapter 025: The Demonic Prodigy’s Rise
“Pfft!”“Ah!!”Taryn screamed as his arm was wrenched from his body, blood spraying across the battlefield like molten fire. He stumbled, clawing at empty air, face pale and twisted with pain.“You cannot escape.”Kaelen’s voice was cold, final—like death itself whispering through the wind. He surged forward. His right arm shifted, transforming into a massive azure dragon claw, stretching to seize Taryn completely.“Blazing Sun Sword! Light! Slash! Break! Shatter! Tear!”Taryn roared, pouring every ounce of sword energy into his attack. Golden rays flared, striking Kaelen’s dragon claw—only to shatter harmlessly against its unyielding strength.“Submit to me!”With a single crushing motion, Kaelen snapped the claw shut, pinning Taryn.“Ah!!”The Sword Sect’s first disciple screamed—humiliation and rage mingling with utter helplessness. Around them, the battlefield murmured in awe:“This… this demonic prodigy… such terrifying power!”Suddenly, a booming voice rolled across the skies abo
Chapter 026: The Faint Smile and Bitter Laughter
Serenya of House Hanwynn stood alone by the quiet pond, watching the koi drift lazily beneath the water. Her blue silk gown rippled with the breeze, brushing against her form with effortless grace. But no amount of elegance could hide the sadness shadowing her delicate features.A bitter, almost fleeting smile tugged at her lips.“Fish… little fish,” she whispered, voice trembling. “If only I could be as free as you.”For a heartbeat, her thoughts flickered to him—a young man, snow-robed, eyes steady and unwavering.“Kaelen…” she breathed, the name trembling from her lips. He had been her anchor, the one person who could cut through the darkness weighing on her heart.It had been over a month since he disappeared into the wilderness. She’d searched tirelessly, every day gnawing at the edge of hope and despair.“But Father…” her voice faltered, “he needs the Dragon Blood Pill from the City Lord’s Mansion. If I refuse Caius… he won’t give it to us.” Her chest tightened. The man she desp
Chapter 027: The Tianwu Reckoning
Valehart’s voice cut through the thick tension of the grand hall—sharp, strained, impossible to ignore.“Serenya has spoken of you before, Kaelen. You… are talented. Destined for greatness. I entrust her to you!”The moment he unleashed his aura, surging forward to shield both Serenya and Kaelen, the world seemed to blur. The elders froze, statues in disbelief. No one had expected the frail, wounded clan head to explode with such terrifying ferocity.“Impudent!”Lysarion, the Grand Elder, erupted like a storm breaking over mountains.Boom!It was as if an ancient beast had awakened. Nearly a century old, his presence swept over the hall like a tidal wave—vast, heavy, suffocating.“This… this is the Tianwu Realm!” Valehart’s face drained of color. A master of the Tianwu Realm—unstoppable. Unmatched. Today, maybe none of them would walk away alive.Whispers rippled across the hall:“The Tianwu Realm…”“Great Uncle has broken the final bottleneck!”“The House Hanwynn will rise like never
Chapter 028: Eternal Reckoning
“Ah! Brat! Die before me!”Lysarion’s roar tore through the grand hall like a thunderclap. He surged forward, decades of mastery coiling in his limbs, channeling the legendary clan-sealing technique: Lion Beast King Fist!Instantly, colossal golden lions erupted from the ground—fangs bared, claws slashing at Kaelen with lethal intent. The floor trembled beneath their phantom roars, dust shaking loose from the rafters.Kaelen didn’t flinch. Around him, the Ancient Dragon-Elephants stirred, their immense forms radiating a raw, primordial aura. Their trumpeting roars echoed like the birth of the world itself.Legends whispered of these titans—offspring of true dragons and celestial elephants, rulers of the earliest lands. Even Lysarion’s perfected golden lions looked trivial in comparison.Kaelen stepped forward. The Dragon-Elephants lifted their massive heads, their pillar-like legs smashing down with unstoppable force.Boom!Lysarion was hurled across the hall, crashing into stone. Bloo
Chapter 029: The White-Clothed Reckoning
“Whoosh!”Serenya’s words sliced through the tense streets like a knife. In an instant, the truth spilled out. Every threat, every coercion, every suffocating pressure—it had all been orchestrated by Young Master Caius. He wanted House Hanwynn to bend to his arrogance.“Shameless,” someone muttered from the crowd.“Detestable,” hissed another.Caius’s handsome face twisted, fury blazing in his eyes. “Serenya! How dare you speak to me like that! And you—Kaelen, right?—standing there. Don’t think that changes anything. Today, you belong to me, whether you consent or not! Interfere, and you die. Resist, and I’ll flatten this mansion with my Black Armor Army!”A cold shiver ran through the crowd. Even the bravest guards faltered.Valehart’s low, disdainful laugh cut the tension. “Young Master, perhaps think twice before spouting arrogance.”Caius erupted, mocking laughter echoing through the streets. “Consequences? What consequences? And you, Valehart—what right have you to lecture me?”“
Chapter 030: The Silver Prodigy
Valehart sat at the apex of the grand hall, flanked by Kaelen and Serenya. Every elder, every second-generation leader of House Hanwynn watched him with wide eyes, their attention rapt. Together, they were the beating heart of the clan’s power, a living testament to centuries of honor, influence, and resilience.Valehart held a letter, raising it high. His voice carried through the hall, firm and commanding:“The City Lord’s Mansion has sent word. They will exchange a Dragon Blood Treasure Pill for Caius’s life—but only in secrecy. Kaelen must go alone to a secluded forest outside Thornreach County tomorrow morning to complete the exchange.”A ripple of murmurs ran through the hall.“Could it be a trap?” an elder asked, suspicion heavy in his tone.“Unlikely,” another replied. “Everyone has seen Kaelen’s strength. No one in Thornreach County could challenge him. Massed forces would fail.”Serenya’s calm, steady voice cut through the tension. “I know the experts of the City Lord’s Mans
