Three days later.The entire extraterritorial battlefield got hit by a wave of shocking news—like a sudden storm rolling in without warning.A second Hundred-Lord-level genius had appeared in the northwestern region.And that wasn’t even the most shocking part.Another piece of information followed right after, leaving everyone completely stunned.In just seven days… seven medium-sized shelters in the northwest had fallen one after another.All of them.Taken by a single rising force—the Wind God Alliance.At first, most people didn’t even register the name. It sounded too ordinary. Too forgettable.But now?Everyone was talking about it.The Wind God Alliance had risen.Not slowly. Not carefully building strength.No.It rose like a violent storm ripping through the entire northern landscape. Fast. Ruthless. Impossible to stop.And at the center of it all… was one man.Kaelen Viremont.A name that was now spreading everywhere—battlefields, camps, even among hidden factions that usuall

Deep in the northwestern lands, somewhere inside a snow-covered mountain range, the quiet was suddenly shattered.Boom.A huge explosion ripped through the silence.A white-furred giant ape—massive, easily seven or eight hundred meters tall—stumbled backward. A rusty long sword was already buried deep in its throat.For a moment, everything just… froze.Then it fell.Like a mountain collapsing in slow motion.The ground shook hard when its body hit the snow.Kaelen Viremont calmly pulled his sword free.A thin line of blood ran across his cheek. He wiped it off casually with the back of his hand, like it was nothing.No change in his expression.Still calm. Still focused.Like killing something that size was just… part of the day.No big deal.Without wasting a second, he raised his hand.The Creation Furnace activated.A dark vortex ignited in the air—burning, twisting, swallowing everything nearby.In an instant, it devoured the remaining essence of the giant ape.The massive corpse

Shui Bingyan’s expression didn’t change at all.Not even a flicker.Her eyes stayed calm, almost too calm, like nothing in this world could really shake her.Then her lips parted slightly.Cold. Flat. No emotion at all.“The Longevity Tree… I will obtain it.”That was it.The moment those words fell, her body exploded with a brilliant blue glow.Light poured out of her like flowing water under moonlight. In just a second, she didn’t feel human anymore. Not even close.More like… something above it.A goddess, maybe.A pure silver holy sword appeared in her hand, radiating a chilling divine aura.No hesitation.She swung it forward.But strangely, her target wasn’t the Three-Headed Barbaric King.It was the mountain behind him.“Impudent!!”A furious roar shook the entire battlefield.The Three-Headed Barbaric King’s eyes burned red with rage. His massive body trembled slightly, like even he couldn’t hold back anymore.“The Longevity Tree belongs to my barbaric clan! I already showed r

The second half of the night was still drowning in heavy rain.No signs of it slowing down. Not even a little.The savage forest had basically turned into a submerged world. Water collected everywhere—between roots, under rocks, across broken ground—until the whole place felt like one giant, silent swamp.But weirdly enough, all that chaos outside made things feel… quieter.The usual beast roars were gone.Only rain remained. Constant. Steady. Almost calming strangely. And somewhere far off, faint insect cries mixed into it.Inside a small wooden hut under a cliff, everything was quiet.Then—“Mm…”A soft breath.Shui Bingyan slowly opened her eyes.Her vision was blurry at first. Just shapes, nothing clear.Then it slowly came back.She blinked once.“…I didn’t die?”Memory hit her in pieces.The brutal battle.That overwhelming pressure from the Three-Headed Barbarian King.And then… the collapse. Losing everything inside the wilderness.She had genuinely thought that was it.End of

The Wind God Alliance shelter stood like the last real stronghold on this barren edge of the extraterritorial battlefield. Massive ancient stone walls stretched across the horizon, carved with old runes and layered defensive formations. It looked solid… unshakable even.But right now, it was shaking.Boom.Another massive impact slammed into the sky above.From the wasteland outside, huge boulders—each one like a small mountain—were being launched through the air. They cut through the wind like falling meteors and smashed straight into the barrier over the Wind God Alliance.Rumble… rumble…Each hit sent violent shockwaves rippling through the sky. Even the heavens seemed to twist under the pressure. The ground below trembled in response, like it couldn’t decide whether to hold or collapse.Buzz… buzz…The grand protective formation covering the entire shelter flickered violently. Golden light kept flashing in and out, unstable, as it could break at any second. Cracks of glowing energ
