Chapter 41: Eradicate the Roots
“Whoever dares to touch the Draven Clan… shall die!”Kael Draven’s voice ripped through the chaos like a thunderclap. He landed hard, the ground cracking beneath his boots, and what he saw froze his blood—his grandfather, barely standing, surrounded by corpses and blood-soaked dirt. Something inside him snapped. Rage surged through him, raw and blinding, spilling out as killing intent so thick it felt like a storm about to break.The warriors of the Veyne Clan froze. That pressure… that terrifying weight in the air—it could only mean one thing.An Innate warrior.Whispers spread fast, fear twisting their faces. So it was true. Kael Draven had broken through.No one in Emberfall Town knew yet what he’d done. They didn’t know he’d killed Roderic Valmar and Lucian Draven, or that he’d fought Alistair Draven head-on. If they did, none of them—especially not the Veynes—would’ve dared to show up here. And definitely not the man in black standing across from him.“So… you’re Kael Draven?”Th
Chapter 42: Love-Fool Rain Sound
It took Kael Draven nearly two hours to calm Aria Stormveil down. Two hours of silence, gentle coaxing, and quiet patience.Finally, he spoke. Softly. “Aria… there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you. I need you to tell me the truth.”She looked up at him. Close enough to see the steady determination in his eyes, close enough to feel the warmth of his breath. For a moment, her composure cracked. She turned away. Her eyes flickered with guilt, as if she already knew what was coming.“Aria,” Kael Draven said again, quieter this time, “ten years ago… you didn’t look like that. Why have you changed so much in such a short time? What happened? If you truly love me… please tell me.”That question had lingered on him for ten years. Ever since her appearance shifted, her weight changed. He couldn’t shake the feeling that it had something to do with him.A decade ago, she had been breathtaking—Emberfall Town’s most radiant beauty. But everything changed the day he failed to condense his
Chapter 43: Self-Exile from the Draven Family
For Kael Draven, Aria Stormveil was more than just a companion. She was his anchor, his constant in a world that offered little certainty.Through the strange and terrible power of the Blood Pool, Eldric had entered her body. Day and night, he worked to mend the damage done to her cells—damage inflicted over ten long years.Three days later.Aria Stormveil appeared again in Emberfall Town. At first, no one recognized her. They stared, confused. Then, one by one, astonishment spread. Whispers began. Eyes widened. When the truth dawned—that this radiant figure was indeed Aria Stormveil—shock rippled through the crowd like a wave.She had become a living miracle. A walking advertisement no one could ignore. From a woman mocked for her looks to someone who seemed sculpted by gods themselves—restored to her beauty from a decade ago. The news traveled fast. By the second day, not only Emberfall Town but even Thundercloud City buzzed with her name.In the wake of her transformation, Kael Dra
Chapter 44: Powerless
Edwin Valmar and his two companions never imagined Kael Draven would pull something like this — turning self-exile into a weapon.By cutting all ties to the Draven Clan, Kael Draven wasn’t just walking away. He was sending a message. If the three pressed forward to destroy the clan now, they weren’t just challenging a single branch. They were challenging the whole Draven Family.It wasn’t that an Eighth-Tier Draven Clan alone could necessarily draw the attention of the Draven Family — but who could be sure? What if they did intervene?That possibility weighed heavily on their faces. Edwin Valmar gave a cold laugh, without humor. “So, you exile yourself from your clan, Kael Draven. You think that keeps you safe? No. I’ll make sure you feel every pain in the world, and then I’ll break you… slowly. Until there’s nothing left.”“Kael, why go this far?” Ardyn Draven’s voice cracked slightly, edged with sorrow. “The Draven Clan will stand and fall with you.”Kael Draven ignored him. He igno
Chapter 45: Heart-freezing Devour
Edwin Valmar’s aura hit like a storm breaking through the heavens. It wasn’t just powerful — it was oppressive, crushing, something that reached deep into the soul. Kael Draven felt every bit of his strength drain away. There was nothing he could do to resist.His face turned pale. His knees wavered. For a moment, it felt as if the ground beneath him had vanished. And then — suddenly — a surge of energy burst from his Dantian, flowing through him like wildfire. Every vein, every muscle, every bone seemed alive with power."Master… the soul of the First-Heaven warrior you struck down earlier — I have refined it for you."Kael Draven’s heart clenched. Relief. Joy. That single sentence carried so much. Back in his battle with the Black Wind Daoist, he’d decided not to refine another Soul Servant. He already had one of First-Heaven caliber. Another — a Hundred-Scattered-Heaven soul servant — would have been overkill.The truth was, the Desolate Sacred Body demanded far more energy to adva
Chapter 46: The Innate Fifth Realm
Kael Draven had done it. Finally. He had broken through the First Sky Threshold. And more than that, he’d forged something entirely his own — an aura unlike any other. But even with this newfound power, he didn’t rush to challenge Edwin Valmar. Not yet.And he didn’t leave Emberfall Town, either. Sure, he had exiled himself from his clan. But Kael Draven knew better than to underestimate unseen dangers. What if Edwin Valmar decided to strike at the Draven Family while he was away? That was a disaster waiting to happen — and he wasn’t willing to gamble on it.That’s why Rowan Valen, Lord of Thundercloud City, stepped in himself. He took the matter of the Draven Family all the way to Starcloud City.Inside the Draven Clan — Rowan Valen included — people thought the Fifth-tier Draven Family of Starcloud City wouldn’t bother. But fate has a way of surprising people. By the next morning, messengers from the Fifth-tier Draven Family, and even the Royal House, were on their way to Cloudveil
Chapter 47: Advancing the Battle Rankings
“Brother Draven, there’s something else,” Rowan Valen said quietly, glancing around as if someone might be listening. “Those beauty pills and elixirs you made before… they’ve stirred up the Pill Alliance. They’re not happy. You should be careful — they might come after you.”Kael Draven nodded slowly. His voice was calm, steady. “I understand.”They talked for a little while longer before Kael Draven stood up and left.Behind the lotus pond, in the shade of a stone pavilion, Lady Valen watched him go. Her eyes were sharp and cold, a small smirk tugging at her lips.“Hmph,” she whispered. “Let’s see how you like the price of crossing me.”What Kael Draven didn’t know was that the moment he entered the Lord’s Mansion, she’d already sent word of his arrival — straight to his worst enemy, Edwin Valmar.When he finally stepped out of the mansion, Kael Draven didn’t stroll openly through Thundercloud City. He wasn’t foolish. He disguised himself a little, kept his head down, and found a sma
Chapter 48: The Ten-Move Duel
Thundercloud City, home of the Sixth-tier Draven Family.“The young master’s back! The young master has returned!”The shout spread through the manor like sparks on dry grass. Servants ran in every direction, excitement buzzing through the air. By the time Alistair Draven and the family elders stepped into the courtyard, everyone already knew.A young man walked through the gate. His eyes were sharp, his brows thick, his expression cold enough to make even the breeze hesitate. That killing intent—it wasn’t something you could fake.The moment he saw Alistair Draven and Hudson Draven, his pace quickened. He dropped to his knees.“Grandfather. Father. I’m back.”Alistair Draven reached out and lifted his grandson up, tears blurring his eyes. He kept saying the same thing over and over, half laughing, half crying—“Good, good, you’re finally home.”But the young man wasn’t smiling. “Father,” he asked quietly, “where’s Lucian?”This was Damien Draven—the pride of the Draven clan, and hones
Chapter 49: The Strongest Clash
The Ten-Move Duel raged on, fierce and unrelenting. Every strike was a gamble. Every movement is a test of will. Both warriors poured everything into this battle, desperate to end it before the tenth move.At the peak of the First Sky Threshold, their powers collided like crashing waves, a storm so fierce it seemed to shake the air itself. Then, in the blink of an eye, Damien Draven’s face changed. Astonishment carved deep lines into his expression.“Energy? Impossible… No, this can’t be,” he muttered, voice trembling. “You’ve only just broken into the First Sky Threshold—how could you have condensed energy?”For anyone who had reached the Innate Realm, it was a known truth. Energy—pure force—was not something granted lightly. It was the prize of evolution itself. Without breaking into that realm, no one could condense it. Every Innate cultivator knew this.Kael Draven’s lips curled in a cold chuckle. Calm, yet sharp as a blade. “Just because you can’t condense Energy doesn’t mean othe
Chapter 50: The Frenzied Counterattack
The final move. The fiercest clash. It all came down to this one strike—victory or defeat hanging in the balance.Heart-Freezing Devour flared into endless crimson blade light, surging down the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade with unrelenting force. It was like a river of blood cutting through the air.Damien Draven never imagined his Dragon Roar Triple Strike could be met head-on. And yet, the moment they clashed, his face changed. Shock. Disbelief. Fear. All at once. He staggered back, instinctively trying to evade the burning blade light, but deep inside… he knew.It was too late. His strength. His speed. Not enough.This move had won.Defeat.A bitter word. He hated it, but the truth was undeniable. Unless you were an Evolution master, nothing in the First Sky Realm could stand against such power.He stopped resisting. He let it happen.“Damien!” A sharp voice rang out, laced with concern.“Kael Draven… you dare!” Damien Draven’s voice cracked with anger, disbelief still lingering in ever
