BOOM!The Great Elder’s foot struck the ground, and his figure shot forward.His right fist, wrapped in golden spiritual energy, tore through the air toward Kael’s chest.The attack was fast.Much faster than anything a Qi Refining cultivator could produce.The surrounding elders watched with tense expressions.“That’s the power of Foundation Establishment!”“Even though the Great Elder hasn’t recovered from his tribulation, his strength has increased tremendously!”“Guardian, be careful!”Kael didn’t move until the fist was almost upon him.Then he raised one hand.BAM!The two fists collided.A gust of wind swept through the courtyard, scattering fallen leaves and sending several tables sliding backward.The Great Elder’s eyes widened.Kael hadn’t taken a single step back.In fact, he was still standing in the exact position he had occupied before the attack.His expression hadn’t changed either.“Not bad,” Kael remarked.The Great Elder stared at him.What?Before he could react, K

Chapter 57: The Heavens Shattered Beneath His FistBOOOOOOM!The golden pillar of lightning exploded.Countless bolts scattered across the sky, illuminating the entire Ravenhart Clan in brilliant flashes of gold.The shock wave swept across the courtyard, tearing apart the remaining birthday decorations and sending clouds of dust spiraling into the air.The protective formation trembled violently.Several elders stumbled backward, their faces pale with disbelief.The Great Elder stood frozen.His eyes were wide.His lips trembled.The Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand had developed several deep cracks, and its golden markings were fading rapidly.The third strike had been unleashed.Its power should have been enough to destroy a small mountain.Yet Kael had shattered it with a single punch.No.The Great Elder suddenly realized something even more terrifying.Kael hadn’t merely endured the attack.He had destroyed it.The heavenly lightning had been unable to leave so much as a scr

The sky above Ravenhart Clan had become a battlefield.Golden cracks stretched across the heavens, splitting the clouds apart like shattered glass. Beyond them lay a vast, unfamiliar world filled with golden palaces and floating mountains. Countless figures stood within that distant realm, their silhouettes radiating terrifying pressure.Yet none of them compared to the enormous hand descending through the fissure.Its five fingers were wrapped in golden flames, and every movement caused the surrounding space to tremble. The pressure alone forced several Ravenhart disciples to their knees.Crack!The ground beneath the clan’s courtyard fractured.“What’s happening?!”“Is this the end of the world?”“Everyone, get inside!”Panic erupted as the disciples scrambled for shelter. Some elders attempted to raise the clan’s protective formation, only to discover that the spiritual energy around them had become unnaturally sluggish.It was as if the entire world had been placed beneath an invi

Golden palaces emerged beyond the enormous fissure, their magnificent towers surrounded by rivers of celestial energy. Countless immortal soldiers stood in formation across floating platforms, their armor shining like the stars.At the center of it all sat the Heavenly Emperor.Or rather, the thing that had stolen his throne.Its black eyes surveyed the mortal world with cold amusement.“How disappointing,” it murmured. “Three thousand years of searching, and this is where you chose to hide?”Its gaze swept over Ravenhart Clan.A broken courtyard.Collapsed buildings.Mortals trembling beneath its pressure.The being smiled.“You have fallen quite far, Guardian.”Kael stood with his hands behind his back.“You’re repeating yourself.”The false emperor paused.“What?”“You’ve been talking since you appeared. First, you called me a traitor. Then you told me I killed the Heavenly Emperor. Now you’re complaining about my living conditions.”Kael glanced at the ruined courtyard.“Honestly,

Kael froze.That voice.It was buried beneath three thousand years of sealed memories, yet the moment he heard it, his soul trembled with recognition.The enormous red eyes beyond the fissure blinked slowly.“Have you forgotten me already, little guardian?”Kael clenched his fists.A sharp pain pierced his skull, and fragments of forgotten memories flashed through his mind.A sea of stars.A battlefield littered with broken weapons.A little boy standing beside a towering black figure, holding a wooden sword in both hands.Then a gentle voice.When the day comes that even the heavens abandon you, remember that you are never truly alone.Kael staggered.“Who are you?”The question escaped before he could stop it.The Origin Devourer suddenly retreated.For the first time, the creature looked genuinely terrified.“No…” it whispered. “That thing should still be sleeping!”The red eyes shifted toward it.“Silence, parasite.”Two simple words.Yet the Origin Devourer’s enormous body convul
