The Grand Assembly Hall completely fell apart into a huge mess. Patriarch Mo stood tall in the center, and all the black snake scales on his arms started to glow with a super cold, scary light.The heavy air in the big room became hard to breathe because of his massive magic pressure. It felt like a giant stone wall was pushing down on everyone's chests.The broken pieces of the Chu family were running around in deep panic. They huddled in a tight circle around the bleeding, crying Chu Tianyou."Get up, Tianyou! You must stand up!" a Chu cousin screamed, his voice shaking with big fear. "The Mo family is trying to kill all of us!""I cannot move! My body is totally empty!" Tianyou wailed back, his face covered in dark mud and wet blood.Their long-standing rule was completely smashed and turned to dust in just a few seconds. They had no more pride left, only pure terror.Patriarch Mo let out a dark, mean laugh that sounded like a grinding iron mill. He suddenly flicked his old wrist w

Five pitch-black phantoms slowly materialized straight out of the solid stone walls, their scary shapes forming like dark clouds. Their faces were completely hidden behind heavy silver dragon masks that pulsed with a very bright, cold void energy."What is that? Look at the walls!" a heavy guard yelled out, his eyes turning wide with a very big fear."Stay in line! Do not break the formation!" Elder Julian shouted back, his voice shaking hard as he tried to look brave.Elder Julian did not even have time to lift his big, earth-infused saber up into the dark air. Before his hand could move a single inch, the very first phantom assassin slid soundlessly past his right flank.Slash!The sharp sound cut through the heavy quiet of the narrow tunnel like a quick whip. The heads of the first four Mo Clan executioners rolled straight down into the wet, cold mud on the floorboards.Their thick necks were severed completely by invisible, weightless cosmic wires that could cut through solid iron

The trio walked fast down the dark path and arrived at the massive, black stone door of the Sovereign Vault. The ancient, heavy stone threshold pulsed with a very bad, sickening red light that made the dark tunnel look spooky.This was the hidden inner room where the bad families had kept the true owners trapped like wild animals. For six long, painful years, they used the mom and dad as a living battery to steal all their magic juice."I can smell it," Xiaoxiao whispered, her small voice shaking with a very big, deep anger that made her body hot. "It smells like old blood and bad magic leaking right out of the cracks of the door."The nasty smell of old blood and wild magic made Xiaoxiao’s inner Empress core pulse with a huge, fiery rage. Her small fingers rolled into tight fists under her torn cotton rags as she stared at the big black stones."We are standing right outside their prison, brother," she said, her eyes turning into sharp, burning suns. "They are hurting our parents rig

Madam Mo’s jaw dropped so far down it looked like it would break. She stood completely still, staring at the floor with big, wide eyes filled with a sudden, deep shock.Her high-tier, world-melting corrosive acid was not burning anything at all. Right before her eyes, the entire big black wave had turned into solid, harmless pieces of violet ice that fell onto the ground."No! This cannot happen! This is not real!" Madam Mo screamed out, her voice changing from a proud cackle into a high-pitched, frantic panic.She shook her heavy bronze staff with her trembling fingers, her face turning green beneath her shiny black snake scales. "You have no magic power! You are just a broken, mana-less parasite boy from the mud!""You talk too much, old woman," Long Jingchen said, his voice completely flat, calm, and deathly cold like winter ice.He stood tall, his broad shoulders moving up as he took a single, thunderous step straight forward onto the wet jade tiles. He subtly dropped his SSS-rank

On the surface pavilion, the big room was very warm. Patriarch Mo was holding a fancy gold cup filled with sweet wine.Suddenly, a very bad pain shot right through his old chest. He felt like a sharp iron knife was tearing his magic pathways into tiny pieces.Clatter!He violently dropped his wine cup onto the floor, the red drink spilling all over the expensive silk carpets. He let out a loud, terrifying scream that made all the nearby servants jump in pure panic."My chest! My soul is ripping apart!" Patriarch Mo yelled, his face turning completely pale beneath his dark armor."What is wrong, Patriarch Mo? Did the wine have poison?!" a high elder from the third house asked, standing up fast."No! It is not the wine!" Patriarch Mo screamed back, all the black snake scales on his arms standing up straight with a wild fury.He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of glowing white jade. The jade stone was completely broken into tiny gray bits that fell through his long f

Long Jingchen and his companions moved quietly through the dark, hidden ventilation shafts of the big mountain. They walked on their hands and knees, making absolutely zero noise as they went over the cold metal vents.Down below them, fifty elite guards were walking in long lines with big burning torches and heavy iron spears. The guards were patrolling the main medicine paths, their eyes wide with fear as they looked for the secret enemy master."Stay very quiet, Xiaoxiao," Jingchen whispered, his voice as soft as a little breeze in the dark pipe. "Do not let your boots hit the iron sides.""I am being super quiet, big brother," Xiaoxiao whispered back, her small hands holding onto his torn janitor rags."The guards look very angry today," Ji Qingwu murmured from behind them, her beautiful porcelain face flushing a soft pink in the dark."They are looking for a ghost they can never catch," Jingchen whispered back, his vertical gold-violet eyes flashing with a cold calculation."We ar

BOOM!The central peaks of the grand palace shook violently like a giant toy basket. A massive, green alchemical explosion ripped through the entire Central Pharmacy tower with a terrifying roar.A roaring pillar of volatile chemical fire burst straight through the high roof. It melted the golden tiles and lit up the dark midnight sky like a massive, bright second sun.Hundreds of inner disciples began to scream in pure terror. They ran out of their bedroom pavilions in nothing but their soft white nightclothes."Help! The sky is burning green!" a young disciple shrieked, running in fast circles."The tower is falling down on us!" another student yelled, wiping black soot from his eyes."Get the water buckets right now!" a senior master screamed, his hands shaking in panic.The toxic smoke filled the air very fast, making everyone cough and cry as they stumbled over the grass. No one could see anything through the thick green fog that smelled like rotten herbs.Patriarch Mo and the ol

The subterranean vault cavern grew suffocatingly cold as the remaining high-tier leaders of the Three Sovereign Houses descended the stone stairs. Their heavy iron boots made a sharp, clanking sound against the wet steps, echoing through the dark space.The old Chu Grandfather walked at the very front of the line, his wrinkled hands trembling with an unhinged, wild fury. He was completely surrounded by ten high elders whose protective barriers flared with a blinding, colorful elemental light to keep them safe."Keep your eyes wide open!" the old man barked out, his teeth clicking together from the sudden, freezing temperature. "The thieves could be hiding behind any of these stone pillars!""We are right behind you, Patriarch Chu!" a high elder shouted back, waving a flaming sword that cut through the dark grey fog. "No one can ambush us here!"Beside him stood Patriarch Cao of the third sovereign house, a massive, towering man clad in thick, heavy iron armor that rattled with every s

The old Chu Grandfather stared up at the towering, majestic figure of Long Jingchen with massive eyes. His ancient, arrogant mind completely short-circuited from the terrifying sight before him.His wrinkled face turned completely white like a clean bedsheet, his breath caught inside his throat. He looked at the beautiful black robes and the shining gold lines, shaking his head."No, no, this is a very bad dream!" the old man screamed out, his voice cracking loudly. "You are just the mana-less trash slave boy who cleans our dirty floors!""Look at his clothes, Grandfather!" a high elder on the floor wept, his mouth full of red mud. "He is not a slave! He is a god!""How do you possess the supreme unbound pressure of a primordial god?!" the Chu Grandfather shrieked, his old hands scratching at the hard stones. "Where did you hide this crazy magic power?!""You asked for the master of this mountain, old thief," Long Jingchen said, his dual-toned voice freezing the air. "Now that I am st

The old Chu Grandfather fell down fast on his knees into the wet mud. His expensive dragon cane dropped right out of his shaking fingers, hitting the dark stones with a small clack.He looked up at Long Jingchen with very big, scared eyes, his old body shaking like a leaf. The proud master was now just a sad, crying old man in the dirt."Spare me! Long Jingchen, wait!" the old man begged, his wet face covered in black soot. "Do not hurt me! I can give you the whole big palace!""You want to give me a present now, old man?" Jingchen asked, his face looking like a cold piece of mountain stone."Yes, yes! I can make you the official Lord of the Manor tomorrow morning!" the Grandfather cried out, his hands reaching up to touch Jingchen's robes. "Everyone will bow to you!""You cannot give me what is already mine, old thief," Jingchen said, his voice deathly cold and completely devoid of any human mercy.He stopped right before the shaking man, his long shadow covering the grandfather's sh
