The emperor opened his fingers, and Core Qi energy coalesced into the shape of a long sword. His grip tightened around the handle.Both cultivators clashed. Steel against energy, fiery sparks danced along their blades. The tiles didn’t just crack — they shattered inward as massive pillars erupted from the earth."You haven’t even lived up to a hundred years, and you think you know about the world of cultivation?!" The Fist Emperor roared in pure rage. His left fist slammed into Chris’s face with brutal force. Then he swung his sword, aiming to cut the Naija youth in two from the middle.SHEPE!Chris roared. For a few seconds, the Fist Emperor’s movements slowed.Seizing the moment, Chris dashed forward and sent the emperor crashing through five massive pillars, each one as wide as a bridge."Your logic and mine don’t align, guardian. I believe in what I want. You believe in what you want. We come from two different worlds. In mine, those in power cheated their way there, and no one st

The dust cleared, yet nothing had changed. Both fighters remained locked in a fierce tug-of-war between attack and defense. "Oblivion!" the Emperor roared. The air grew unbearably hot, a heat beyond heat. *Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come.* [Saint Title Activated] [Time Remaining: 28 Seconds]A multi-colored light sparkled like stardust. BOOOOOOM!The continent shattered. A concentrated flame-like attack erupted from the Emperor’s body seconds after activation, tearing across the land like an apocalyptic hurricane capable of swallowing entire nations. The first half of the continent became a massive crater sunk deep into the earth. Nothing remained standing. Everything had not only died—it had been erased. Only sand, superheated into glass, remained. The other half was a nightmarish wasteland of molten lava, ash, dust, and raging storms. The Emperor collapsed in the middle of the devastation. His massive form was gone; he had ret

"Hahahaha. Don't thank me so much, challenger. It’s your own efforts that earned you these gifts," the Creator said, stroking his long white beard."Still, I’m grateful, Creator," Chris replied, raising his head slightly while his eyes remained fixed on the ground."Mmmmm. When you grow stronger, return to the Void Realm to begin the second stage." The Creator smiled as he stepped closer to him."I… I will, Creator." The Naija (Nigerian) youth’s voice trembled. Slowly, he stepped aside as the Creator stood shoulder to shoulder with him."The Void grants you the opportunity to leave. Do you accept?""I accept. But first, I have some matters to handle. Please, Creator!" Chris clenched his jaw tightly as fleeting memories of Li Yan flashed through his mind."Hmmmm… I see. Alright, you’re free to do as you please," the Creator replied.Suddenly, thunder blasted across the sky. Rain poured down heavily like a hurricane.Chris raised his head, but the Creator was already gone. He scanned th

[Host Has Successfully Broken Through Into The Golden Core Realm!] [All Stats Greatly Increased!] [All Skills Leveled Up!] [All Talents Leveled Up!] [All Traits Leveled Up!]Chris floated gently down onto the platform. He suppressed his aura back into his body and took several deep breaths. His knuckles were still white from how tightly he had clenched his fists.“They are going to pay, Li Yan. I promise you,” he vowed, his eyes still glowing with golden Qi. “Those bastards are going to pay!”[3 Weeks Until The Lion Clan Expedition Team Arrives At The Fifth Trial Continent]“I will be waiting,” Chris muttered. “Now I just have to stabilize my new power and adapt to all my skills, traits, and talents. But before that…”*Void Storage.*He dipped his right hand into the dark, swirling vortex and pulled out a hot pot of wolf soup, some yellow fruit, a jug of water, and a white, soft substance.He inhaled deeply, taking in the rich aroma of the steaming soup and the familiar scent

"First of all, close your mouth when you eat, Hu. And secondly, before you stand up like that next time, give a warning first," Sung sighed deeply, cleaning the soup that had spilled onto his robe."Oh… erm, sorry," Hu chuckled awkwardly, picking up another piece of meat from the large tray."Now, explain what you mean by the treasure breaking soon," Sung said, shifting his focus back to Mia."Since he came into possession of that treasure, I've had one of my shadows studying him from the shadows," Mia explained while mixing her rice and soup. "From what I’ve gathered and analyzed, that treasure will break soon."Sung sipped his soup directly from the bowl. He exhaled with ease, white smoke escaping his mouth as he set the bowl down on the table."I'm still not getting you, Elder Mia," Hu commented, gulping down a jug of water."You're really slow, Hu," Mia mocked, giving him a powerful stare."Not understanding doesn’t mean I’m stupid, Mia," Hu replied, his voice turning serious."Ju
