Fearing discovery by the Supreme General, Julian drove frantically toward the outskirts of the city, the night swallowing his car as it sped down the dimly lit highway. The silence inside the vehicle was suffocating, broken only by the muffled sobs of Winda and the terrified gasps of Tessa. Their pale faces reflected in the window glass, eyes wide with dread, while Julian’s jaw clenched in determination.

He grabbed his phone, his fingers trembling slightly despite his outward bravado. “Father,” he said as soon as the line connected, his voice low and urgent. “Something’s gone wrong. I may have provoked the Supreme General. You need to prepare yourself.”

On the other end, the head of the Marlowe family, Lazarus Marlowe, nearly dropped his cigar. His face drained of color as Julian’s words echoed in his mind. For a man who had always prided himself on being untouchable in Coastal Flair, fear was an emotion he rarely entertained—but this time, it surged through him like ice water.

    Adam shook his head with a bitter smile.He had finally uncovered the secret of the divine code, yet the triumph tasted hollow. The cultivation method carved into the metal piece was beyond priceless, but it was useless to him for now. A treasure he could see but not touch.A pang of disappointment pressed on his chest, but he forced it aside. Self-pity was a luxury he couldn’t afford. With a steadying breath, he adjusted his mindset and pushed open the door to leave his chamber.The moment he stepped out, Dante rushed toward him. His eyes were wide, his expression tense, as if he had been pacing for hours waiting for Adam to emerge.“Supreme General, you’re finally out!” Dante’s relief was obvious, but there was no time to savor it.Adam’s gaze sharpened. “What happened?”Dante hesitated for only a second before blurting out, “Stacey just called. Lord Nyra has been kidnapped.”Adam froze. The words struck him like a blade to the heart. His face darkened instantly. “What?” His voice w

    Yet Adam did not rush to practice the technique.The first requirement alone was madness—abolish his cultivation base.He had spent nearly twenty years climbing the path of martial cultivation, enduring blood, pain, and countless life-and-death battles to reach his current level. Every scar on his body, every victory and defeat, every sleepless night of training—it had all built the foundation he now stood on. To shatter it willingly, to start again from nothing… it was unthinkable.Starting over was easier said than done. And even if he had the courage to do so, the timing could not have been worse.The world was watching him.Phoenix King was already circling like a vulture, exploiting Adam’s identity as the Supreme General while plotting behind his back. The Deadskull Organization, the Red Blood Organization, and other foreign powers had all fixed their eyes on him as well. If he abolished his cultivation now, he would not even last a single day. The moment his strength faltered, t

    Just as Adam was about to give up in frustration, something caught his eye.The droplet of blood he had placed on the divine code was thinning, sinking into the surface as if the metal were alive. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, it disappeared.His pulse quickened. His instincts had been right.Though the metal remained unchanged, the fact that it had absorbed his blood meant there was a hidden mechanism within. His heart pounded with renewed determination as he pricked his finger again, allowing more drops to fall.To his surprise, the relic was far hungrier than he expected. One drop vanished. Then another. Then another. Dozens of milliliters of blood soaked into it, greedily devoured until Adam’s arm grew weak.A lesser man would have collapsed by now, but Adam’s cultivation kept him steady. Even so, a thin sheen of sweat appeared across his brow. The process was draining—but with each pulse of his lifeblood absorbed, something within the divine code began to stir.At first, it was o

    After the funeral, Adam and Winda returned to Storm City. The air felt heavy, weighed down by the silence that followed grief. Lord Hammer had been laid to rest, but his absence lingered like a scar that would never heal.For Adam, there was no luxury in mourning. The dead had passed on. The living still had duties, battles, and enemies waiting in the shadows.He knew exactly what he had to do next.The divine code.That strange relic held mysteries he had yet to unravel, and Adam was convinced it was the key to pushing his strength to the next level. If he could comprehend the divine code hidden within it, his power would rise beyond his current limits. And when that time came, he would be ready to reclaim the two amulets that the Deadskull Organization had stolen.Without hesitation, he made his decision. He entered Hollow Reach Villa and sealed himself away from the outside world. His seclusion began.But while Adam sought enlightenment, his enemies sought his downfall.Julian, the

    Tessa kept quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. Her silence spoke louder than words—she didn’t believe Adam. No one in Coastal Flair would.The Marlowe family wasn’t just wealthy; they were a pillar of power, prestige, and influence. Generations of dominance had cemented them as untouchable. To go against them was to court certain destruction. For as long as she could remember, that truth had been carved into her bones.Adam ignored her doubts. He didn’t waste his breath explaining himself to anyone. Instead, he crouched beside Winda, gently lifting her limp form into his arms. Her face was pale, blood trickling from the corner of her lips.His jaw clenched. She had endured too much.Placing a pill between her lips, Adam channeled his energy through her meridians, stabilizing the damage and knitting her internal wounds back together. A faint glow pulsed from his palm as warmth spread through her battered body.Minutes later, her eyelids fluttered. Winda blinked, confusion flashin

    Warriors lived and died by their cores. Every ounce of strength, every drop of cultivated energy was stored there. Now that Julian’s core was shattered, his foundation was ruined forever.For someone at his level, the loss was worse than death. It wasn’t just power that was stripped from him—it was identity, status, pride. A noble young master, reduced to a cripple in a single night.Julian’s body trembled violently. His breathing turned ragged, shallow, uneven. His eyes, once arrogant and full of contempt, were now bloodshot, filled with despair and hatred. In that moment, he lost the will to live. He no longer dreamed of ruling, no longer thought of pleasure. All he wanted was to drag Adam into hell with him.But he couldn’t.His four limbs hung broken, twisted in unnatural angles. His ribs stabbed at his chest every time he gasped for air. His body was little more than a mangled heap of flesh. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t fight. All he had left was his voice and his gaze, spitting
