"Wait! I have gold! I can tell you Julian's secrets!" Garm screamed, holding his hands up to protect his face. Seraphina swung the sword cleanly. Swish.The black and blue blade sliced perfectly across Garm’s neck. The dark, freezing magic instantly sealed the wound. There was no blood. Garm’s eyes went wide. He tried to speak, but his head simply slid off his shoulders and hit the frozen wooden platform. His body fell over, completely frozen solid. The proxy sect was shattered. The leader was dead. Seraphina lowered her sword. She took a deep breath. She did not feel guilty. She did not feel like a monster. She felt strong. She felt safe. She had protected her home. The remaining thugs in the camp dropped their weapons. They fell to their knees and pressed their faces into the dirt, weeping and begging for their lives. High up on the cliff, Lucien smiled. He raised his hand. "Shadows, return," he commanded softly. The thousands of terrifying shadow-dogs and ghouls instantly

The morning air was thick and cold. The severed head of the golden general sat in the dirt, right at Lucien’s boots. The man wrapped in red silk stood completely still. He hid his face behind a smooth, blank white porcelain mask. He waited patiently for Lucien to answer his offer. The massive, rival Azure Dragon Empire had just offered an alliance to the Graveyard King. They wanted to destroy the Saint-Aurelius Clan together. Lucien looked down at the dead general’s face. He recognized the golden helmet. It was a high-ranking soldier from his father’s personal guard. "Your Emperor is very bold," Lucien said. His deep voice was perfectly calm. "He kills a golden general and throws the head at my front door. He is trying to force me to be his friend."The masked man bowed his head slightly. "My Emperor is practical, Graveyard King. He knows you have power. He knows you have an army of shadows. But the Saint-Aurelius Clan has millions of soldiers across the world. You cannot fight th

"Do not speak, Master," Seraphina cried. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks, splashing onto his hand. "Save your strength. We will find a way to fix your core. I will go to the capital! I will find a grandmaster alchemist!""No," Master Tian whispered, shaking his head very slightly. "My time is done. The sun is setting for me."The old man coughed. A thick, dark drop of black blood rolled from the corner of his mouth. A healer quickly stepped forward and wiped it away with a clean white cloth. Master Tian looked around the room. He saw the crying teachers. He saw the sad guards. "Do not weep for me," the Sect Master commanded weakly. "I have lived a long life. I have seen the clouds soar. But I have also been a blind fool."He looked back at Seraphina. His cloudy eyes filled with deep, heavy regret. "I failed you, Seraphina," Master Tian said sadly. "I sat in my wooden chair while First Elder Shen poisoned our water. I drank his tea every day, smiling at a snake. I was blind to the

Master Tian took a deep, painful breath. He reached a shaking hand up to his own neck. He pulled on a thin, dirty piece of leather string that was hiding under his shirt. He pulled it out. Hanging on the end of the string was a key. Seraphina looked at it and frowned in confusion. It was the ugliest thing she had ever seen. It was a giant, heavy key made of dark black iron. It was covered in thick, orange rust. It did not glow with magic. It did not look special. It looked like a piece of garbage dug out of the mud. "What is that?" Seraphina asked. Master Tian took the string off his neck. He held the heavy, rusted key out to her. "This is the greatest secret of our mountain," Master Tian whispered. "A secret that only the Sect Master is allowed to know."Lucien stepped closer to the bed. His purple-black eyes scanned the rusted key. He felt a very faint, incredibly ancient magical signature hiding deep inside the rusted iron. It felt like the magic from the Eternal Ossuary. "The

The mourning gong still echoed in the valleys below. DONG. DONG. It was a sad, heavy sound. It meant the old Sect Master was gone. But Lucien and Seraphina did not have time to cry. They did not have time to rest. The Grand Tournament of Sovereigns was coming in three months. If they did not find the ultimate weapon hidden at the top of the mountain, the entire Cloud-Soaring Sect would be slaughtered. They walked out of the Inner Court. They passed the last of the beautiful red wooden buildings. They stepped onto a narrow, broken dirt path that pointed straight up into the sky. This was the forbidden path. No disciple had walked on this dirt for five hundred years. "Stay close to me," Lucien commanded softly. He walked in front. He did not wear his dark shadow-cloak. He wore a simple, warm grey shirt and dark pants. His heavy iron boots crunched loudly on the frozen dirt. The jagged black blade of the God-Slaying Spear

Lucien walked up to stand beside her. He looked at the rusted key in her hand. He looked at the stone bowl."The Founder built this sect," Lucien said softly. "He left this test for the Sect Master. You are the Sovereign now, Seraphina. You hold the Jade Token. The mountain belongs to you. Give it your blood. If it rejects you, I will break the door down with my spear."Seraphina nodded. She trusted him completely.She lifted her right hand. She brought the sharp, jagged edge of the rusted iron key to her own palm. She pressed the rusty metal against her soft skin and pulled.Slice.A thin line of bright red blood appeared on her palm. It stung sharply in the freezing cold.She held her bleeding hand directly over the small stone bowl.Drip. Drip. Drip.Three drops of her warm, red blood fell into the ancient stone.The moment her blood touched the bowl, the massive stone doors reacted.HMMMMMMM.A deep, powerful vibration shook the entire mountain peak. The thick white snow on the gr

"The inheritance," Seraphina gasped. She pointed at the wooden chest. She took a step forward, eager to grab the weapon that would save her sect. Lucien threw his arm out, blocking her chest. He pushed her backward roughly. "Wait," Lucien commanded. His voice was suddenly very hard and very cold. Lucien’s purple-black eyes scanned the empty, circular room. The air in the room was changing. The green crystals on the ceiling began to flash violently. "We are not alone," Lucien whispered. He drew his black spear and held it with both hands. The solid stone floor of the grand antechamber began to shake. On the left side of the room, a massive hurricane of freezing white wind suddenly erupted from the floor. On the right side of the room, a giant mountain of jagged, solid blue ice exploded upward. The wind and the ice swirled together. They began to take physical shape. "Guardians," Seraphina whispered in pure terror. She gripped Winter's Howl tightly. Two massive Golems fully for
Chapter 178
Lucien’s eyes went completely wide. The realization hit him like a lightning bolt. "Wait," Lucien whispered out loud. He looked at the giant stone doors they had just walked through. He looked at the deadly traps. He looked at the Golems. The history books in the library said the First Patriarch of the Cloud-Soaring Sect was a master of pure, holy ice. They said he was a righteous, perfect warrior of the light. But the magic powering his personal tomb was not light. The magic powering this entire room was pure, undeniable, heavy dark Abyssal Chaos. It was the exact same magic that lived at the bottom of the Eternal Ossuary. The founder of this "righteous" sect was not a holy warrior at all. The First Patriarch was a creature of the dark. He was a master of the Abyss. Just like Lucien. "Seraphina!" Lucien roared across the room. "Stop fighting!"Seraphina was busy dodging a deadly wind blade. "Are you crazy?!" she yelled back, panting heavily. "It is trying to kill me!""Hold on
Chapter 179
The small, yellow piece of paper rested in Seraphina’s trembling hand. The words written in dried blood stared back at them. “The weapon is not here. I hid it at the bottom of the Ossuary.”Seraphina’s pale blue eyes filled with fresh tears of despair. She dropped the piece of paper into the dusty wooden chest. She felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest. They had climbed the highest mountain. They had survived the deadly magical blizzard. They had defeated the giant Golems. And for what? A cruel joke? An empty box? "We lost," Seraphina whispered. Her voice was broken. She fell to her knees on the hard stone floor. "Julian is at the bottom of the mountain. My students are waiting for me to bring back a miracle. And there is nothing here. We are completely out of time."Lucien did not fall to his knees. He did not cry. He stared at the empty wooden chest. He looked at the purple-black, glowing magical runes carved into the stone floor beneath their boots. He remembered

A bright, clear, musical chime rang inside his head. Ding!A brilliant blue screen exploded in front of his eyes. [System Alert: Supreme-Grade Location Detected!][Location: Cloud-Soaring Ancestor's Inner Sanctum.][Would you like to Sign-In?]Lucien’s heart beat faster. The last time he signed in at a major location, he received the [Army of Shadows]. This was the absolute deepest, most sacred room on the entire mountain. “Yes,” Lucien commanded fiercely in his mind. “Sign in.”The blue screen flashed violently, turning a blinding, magnificent gold and green color. [Ding!][Sign-In Successful!][Congratulations! You have received a Legendary Tier Reward.][Reward Generated: Wind-Dragon's Breath (AoE Elemental Skill).]Before Lucien could even read the description, the reward crashed directly into his brain and his body. It was not a physical weapon. It was pure, ancient knowledge. A massive hurricane of magical information flooded into his mind. He closed his eyes tightly. He saw
