Chapter 142:Collapse Of The Fifth Rift Chambers
Kai stepped out of the fading illusion and felt the solid floor of the awakening chamber under his feet as the entire structure trembled.“System, status,” Kai said.“Chamber integrity dropping. Forced stabilization field deploying,” the System replied.The Silent Rift Sect elders stumbled back as cracks ran along the walls.One elder shouted, “We need to leave now.”Kai said, “Move. I will hold the field until the sequence completes.”Another elder hesitated. “But if the chamber collapses—”“Go,” Kai said. “You will only slow me down.”The elders turned and ran toward the exit tunnel just as a blast shook the chamber.“System, incoming presence,” Kai said.“Warning. True Path operatives breaching the southern wall,” the System announced.The wall burst open and several masked figures entered, weapons charged with rift energy.One operative pointed at Kai. “Stop the shutdown now.”Kai stepped forward. “You will not touch the core.”The closest operative rushed him, but Kai struck once
Chapter 141:The Forced Trial Sequence
Kai placed his hand on the pillar and the chamber shook as the system linked to the ancient mechanism. A sharp sound rang out and locks snapped into place around the platform beneath him.“System, what is happening?” Kai asked.The ground vibrated and a ring of symbols lit up around his feet. The air thickened as the entire chamber tightened like a trap.“Shutdown attempt detected,” the system replied. “Ancient protocol has recognized the host as the trial candidate. Forced sequence triggered.”Kai tried to step back, but columns of rift energy rose around him and held him in place. “I did not agree to any trial.”“The chamber does not recognize refusal,” the system said. “Original cycle rules are still active. Host is being transferred.”A pull grabbed Kai from all sides. The walls dissolved into light and the elders shouted in panic from behind him.“Kai! Step away from it!” one elder yelled.Another shouted, “The chamber thinks you are the chosen mortal! Stop the system before—”T
chapter 140:The Awakening Chambers
Kai walked toward the center of the chamber as the floor shook under the pressure of rising energy. System spoke in a steady tone and filled the air with a blue projection.“Energy levels are rising at dangerous rates. The awakening process has already begun.”Kai kept his eyes on the circular platform ahead of him. “How fast?”“Current rate suggests a critical threshold in twenty minutes. Full activation in less than two hours.”Kai stepped onto the platform and looked up at the tall control pillar. Symbols glowed across its surface. “This is old. Much older than the other rift structures.”The surface flashed once, and a holographic record formed in the air. Figures from a past cycle appeared, showing a battlefield that shook under massive bursts of light. People screamed and fell as the ground broke apart.Kai narrowed his eyes. “A disaster record.”System responded. “The record is displaying the consequences of a failed Ascendant Trial. The rift collapsed in on itself and destroye
Chapter139:Descent Into The Core Zone
Kai landed on the unstable ground as the sub-rift floor gave way beneath him. Dust spread through the collapsing chamber, and the deep cavern below opened with a heavy tremor.“System, stabilize my descent,” Kai said as the ground fell apart under his boots.“Energy dampening field active. Fall impact reduced,” System replied.Kai dropped through the final layer of debris and landed in a dim cavern. The air pulsed with deep rift energy, and sharp cracks moved across the walls.Three True Path operatives appeared from a side tunnel. Their movements were fast, and their weapons flickered with unstable glow.“Stand down,” Kai said.They attacked instead.Kai moved in at once. His strikes were precise. He hit the first operative in the chest, forcing him to crash into the wall. The second tried to flank him, but Kai grabbed his arm and pulled him down with a firm twist. The third swung a blade at his neck, but Kai blocked with his forearm and pushed him back.“System, confirm identities,”
Chapter 138:Lost Scouts
Kai moved with steady steps as he crossed the northern barren region with the rapid-response squad close behind him. Cold wind hit their clothes, but no one slowed down. The ground carried faint tremors, and the sky above them flickered with thin cracks of rift light.“System, confirm coordinates,” Kai said.“Coordinates locked. Rift distortion thirty meters ahead,” the System replied.An Azure Cloud scout ran up to Kai. “Sect Master, the distortion is unstable. It is shifting every few breaths.”“We keep moving,” Kai said. “No one spreads out.”“Understood,” the squad responded.The ground under them shook again. Kai looked at the flickering air beyond the ridge. “System, what is the nature of the distortion?”“Signatures resemble time displacement fields. Caution advised.”One of the elders glanced nervously around. “Time displacement at this magnitude should not appear unless a rift is being tampered with.”“True Path is here,” Kai said. “Stay alert.”As they approached the next ri
Chapter 137:The Fifth Rift’s Coordinate
The system projected a large map into the strategy hall. Blue lines formed a steady pattern, then shifted into sharp red spikes that moved across the northern region.“Kai,” the system said, “the Fifth Rift spike pattern is now fully generated.”Kai stood in front of the projection with his arms crossed. The elders gathered behind him in silence, waiting for him to speak. The map kept pulsing as if responding to a rising force.“Show the final coordinates,” Kai said.The red spikes narrowed until they converged on a barren zone far to the north. The land appeared empty, with no settlements and no stable energy veins.Elder Jian stepped forward. “This region has unstable weather barriers. Sending anyone there without preparation is reckless.”Kai turned his head slightly. “We will prepare.”Elder Yao frowned. “The weather alone can break formations. The rift activity will make it worse.”“System,” Kai said, “confirm the rift fluctuation range.”“Range confirmed,” the system replied. “T
