Chapter 2563

Author: Marina Vittori

At the peak of Embercrest Hill, inside a quiet old temple, Grace stepped out of the hidden chamber just as a female guard rushed in.

"Your Highness, we've got a situation. A powerful intruder is breaking through the outer gates," she reported

"Who is it?" Grace asked calmly, as if she'd expected this would happen.

"Judging from their appearance, they look like elite fighters from the Hall of Gods, or royal gods," the female guard replied gravely.

The defensive and offensive formations around

Scarlet instinctively tightened her grip on the Wildfire Spear, but Dustin lightly pressed her wrist, signaling her not to act rashly.Elowen stepped toward the stall. Without even sparing the burly vendor a glance, she tossed down a pouch of celestial stones and reached for the sword."Hold it!"A voice cut through the air.Another man stepped out from the crowd. He appeared to be in his early 30s, wearing a blue-violet robe, and had a cold, predatory look on his face. Faint arcs of lightning coiled around his body, the unmistakable bearing of the Jornell family.He said with a strained smile, "Miss, the baleful aura on that sword conflicts with the stormcraft my family cultivates. It would make an excellent subject for study. Why not let me have it?"Only then did Elowen lift her gaze to look at him. Her eyes were as cold as frost."Who do you think you are?" she shot back. "You think you're worthy of competing with me for it?"The man's expression immediately darkened. "Don'

"If you're planning to trade, I recommend the stalls on the western side," Corvin continued as he guided Dustin and the others through the market. "The eastern section belongs exclusively to the Quinton family and the Moseys. The items there are good, but the prices are high. Some of them even come from questionable sources."The old man selling pills in the north is reliable. His goods are genuine, though he has a strange temper. The stalls in the south belong to rogue cultivators. Their prices are lower, but the quality varies, so you must know how to judge them yourselves."Corfin continued talking at length while leading them through the market until they had made a full circuit. Only after finishing the tour did he finally leave, but before departing, he gave one last warning."Remember this. Don't offend anyone from the Quinton family. A few days ago, a rogue cultivator at the late-stage Adept argued with one of them. Not long after he left the market, they found his body ha

After passing through Spiritfruit Valley and spending two full days climbing along the rugged mountain path, Dustin and his group finally arrived at a new place. It was unlike anything they had encountered before on Mount Aethermoor.The mountainside suddenly opened into a broad terrace, a relatively flat platform carved into the slope and large enough to cover several football fields. What surprised them most was the sight of a temporary marketplace appearing there. Dozens of crude stalls were scattered across the open ground. Some vendors spread animal hides across the earth and laid out a handful of faintly glowing spiritual artifacts. Others propped up rough wooden frames and hung cloth canopies from which rows of pill bottles and medicinal flasks were displayed. Many people threaded between the stalls, stopping to examine goods and haggling in low voices."This… This is incredible!" Scarlet exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the scene. "A marketplace in a place like this?""As

Zephyrin's expression changed sharply when he realized that Albus had grown stronger again. The discovery caught him off guard, yet the situation left him no room to retreat. Having already committed himself to the confrontation, he could only grit his teeth and charge forward.Moments later, the battle erupted again. Facing multiple opponents alone, Albus moved through the clash with relentless precision. Streaks of sword light swept across the field, and his frost sword aura was pushed to its absolute limit. Blanche and the other members of the Frost family fought beside him. They coordinated their attacks and defenses to support his advance while struggling to contain the relentless pressure from the Jornell family.Despite their efforts, the imbalance in numbers gradually became apparent. The Jornell family held the advantage in sheer manpower. Although Zephyrin hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, the foundation of a Core-Forged cultivator still made him a formidable fo

While Dustin and the others explored the ruins within the mountain, the region at the foot of Mount Aethermoor had already descended into chaos beneath the golden barrier.Tens of thousands of people had been randomly transported onto platforms scattered around the mountain's base. With no leadership and no order to restrain them, the only law that remained was survival of the fittest. The strong killed the weak, while those unable to resist became servants or even food.On the largest platform at the mountain's base, Evander stood with his hands clasped behind his back, observing the chaotic slaughter unfolding below with cold detachment. Beside him, Elowen idly toyed with a wildflower she had picked somewhere nearby."These insects are so noisy," she said, frowning."They won't be noisy for long," he replied calmly. "This place runs on survival of the fittest. Most of them will be gone soon.""But we're trapped here as well," Elowen complained with mild irritation. "We had plann

Dustin stepped forward and gave a respectful nod toward the skeletal remains. "Sir, I mean no disrespect. I only seek a way to survive here. If I manage to leave, I will remember your kindness."The moment his words fell, the withered bones stirred faintly. A dim wisp of light drifted out of the skeleton, gradually coalescing into the translucent figure of an elderly man with white hair and a long white beard."3,000 years have passed," he began as he studied Dustin, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes. "At last, someone has come here."Dustin felt a jolt of alarm. He hadn't expected the skeletal remains to conceal something so mysterious.The elderly man stroked his beard and chuckled softly."Don't be nervous. I died long ago. What remains here is only a fragment of my soul, left behind to wait for someone who might one day reach this place. You made it into this hall carrying that ancient token, so our meeting wasn't a coincidence. Tell me, are you willing to accept my
