Yuan Li's attack meets Seo Eun-hyun's head-on. A colorless brilliance and a crimson light collides.Ting!A crisp, resounding note echoes throughout the battlefield.Its clear.And weak.A smirk fills Yuan Li's face."Putting on such a show of might, but is this all you've got?"Weak.Not even the level of cultivator.Just a mortal swinging a sword with all his might.Somehow, he managed to block Yuan Li's strike, but its a close call.That is it.Yuan Li wakes up in realization.'It's not just me who's weakened.'The small fry opposing him is also significantly drained of strength.'If I just take care of these bastards, I'll truly be the victor!'He grins broadly."Keep hammering away with that stupid glass sword all you want. I'll shatter it to pieces!"Blood light streams out as he forms a seal.Kugugugu!Blood clouds swirl around him.Among the blood clouds, blood trees grow, creating a forest of blood.Not only Seo Eun-hyun but also the Core Formation cultivators trying to help

With a dazed expression, I walk through the city.Shhhhhhhh...The sound of rain somehow feels pleasant to my ears.And at the end of the path, in the rain, stands the person I dreamed of.No, perhaps it's more accurate to say she is floating."Hyang...hwa..."With my throat parched and voice dry, I call out to her.A whirlwind of thoughts storm through my mind."How...?"Suddenly, I feel a gaze and look to the side.There is no one there.It seems to have been an illusion.She smiles gently.[How? I became a wandering spirit, waiting for Orabeoni.]"Surely... back then..."I still remember the moment when her spirit ascended to the heavens.Suddenly, she glances where I had looked and smiles at me again.[But isn't there something more important?]"..."Right.One died, and one survived.But our hearts are still connected.I immediately understand what she means.[In Yeon-do City, I wanted to dance with Orabeoni, but it seems we end up dancing here.]"...Please wait just a moment. I

Whooosh!Suddenly, as I regain consciousness, I find myself alongside the Mad Lord, having reached the front of Yuan Li's castle....It feels too anticlimactic.Thinking back to Song Jins strength.The Mad Lord, who beheaded Song Jin, could shatter Yuan Li along with his castle with just a swing of his hand.[Is he inside there?]"Yes, that's right."[Good, there's a massive amount of resentful souls under the castle. Your words werent baseless.]Mad Lord murmurs, chewing on his finger, then starts rummaging through his storage artifact.And then.Flash!Mad Lord pulls something out of his storage artifact.Its a small stone doll.A small statue, resembling a stone guardian.And when the Mad Lord throws that statue towards the black castle...Wo-woongThe statue grows larger and larger.Expanding and increasing in size, the statue becomes as large as a mountain range and falls onto the small black castle.Kuaaang!It sounds as if heaven and earth are colliding.The defensive barrier o

After distancing myself from Kim Young-hoon,I first begin to form the Inner Core in a nearby mountain.Wo-woog Wo-woongThe Inner Core is formed.I gather the energy from all over my body to the Baihui point, located at the top of my head. Baihui, meaning 'hundred meetings,' is called so because it is where a hundred meridians converge. It is also the most crucial part of the body that connects with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.As energy gathers at the Baihui, I can feel the Inner Core melting into it.The melted Inner Core disperses into the meridians of my body, connecting with the Formless Sword in my grasp.The Formless Sword permeates my entire body, flowing through my meridians.With my eyes closed, I gather the Formless Sword at the Baihui and integrate it at my upper dantian.Fully embodying the Formless Sword, I become the sword itself.I can feel the power to draw out strength from each and every cell through the Formless Sword.Conversely, I can also use my fl

"...leave it behind for future generations, relinquish your desires and ascend. Those who do not adhere will face calamity."I recall the contents of the stele I had seen on Ascension Path.The upper part that was torn off and couldn't be seen.'Clearly, given the edges on this stele, this must be the upper part of that stele!'I havent made the connection before as it seemed unrelated to Yuan Li.Thinking about it.Back then, I saw the stone tablet inscribed with Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder near the black castle.'I never imagined.'This guy is related to the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect.Of course, the details will have to wait...'I'll have to subdue him first and see.'As Yuan Li vomits blood, I charge right in front of him.Kugugugung!My Formless Sword, swung at tremendous speed, clashes against his defenses.As long as the castle isnt completely turned to dust, it seems he can still exert the power of the Nascent Soul within it.'But the situation is different from my
