Then, when those initial two stones were completely dried out and turned to dry grey ashes, Zareth shifted his hands effortlessly, maintaining his razor-sharp concentration deep within his inner sea.

The way he perceived the Aether Stones arranged around his knees was akin to observing concentrated, glowing pockets of dense Aether Qi amidst a vast, dark sea.

He simply picked up two more stones, placing them firmly in his open palms. Because the liquid sphere floating in his lower abdomen was

  • Chapter 116: Holy Son's Curse.

    As the sun set beneath the distant mountain ridges and the gang leaders of the four major syndicates began arriving at the Town Lord’s manor, at that exact same moment, something monumental was transpiring millions of kilometers away from the Barrow Valley.A solemn gathering was taking place within a sacred, towering chamber inside the heart of the Heavenly Ember Sect. Deep inside the grand inner hall, a majestic figure sat upon a massive throne.Surrounding the perimeter of the vast chamber were dozens of braziers, their fire blazing violently into the air.Hovering high above the ground on suspended, floating platforms sat four imposing figures whose flowing robes obscured their faces from view; yet the terrifying weight of their presence pressed down upon the room like a mountain.Below them, arranged along the low seats lining the left and right sides of the throne room, sat numerous figures, every single one of them exuding a terrifying aura. This was a supreme council gathering

  • Chapter 115: Impending Dilemma.

    Everyone got more surprised at that moment from what Zareth had just said. In that moment, what on earth was he trying to say, and was what he was saying even making the slightest bit of sense to anyone present?"Brat, we are not fooling around here! Do you even know whose presence you are standing before right now?!" the high commander barked out sharply at that moment.He felt with absolute certainty that Zareth was simply making up absurd fabrications, things that really didn't exist within the established hierarchy of the Red Panda Gang at all, for none of them had ever heard of such a title.So it was either the kid was lying, or he was utterly out of his mind.A brief moment of hostile, dismissive murmurs swept through the room as the officials scoffed at Zareth's ridiculous claim, before the hall went dead silent once more under the weight of the high commander's outburst."What does the truth have to do with whose presence I am standing before?" Zareth said at that moment. His

  • Chapter 114: The First Successor.

    Everyone stood up at that moment."Brother!!" Lord Ringo said, profoundly surprised as his face hardened and his expression became exceedingly serious in an instant.Then Dona scoffed, followed by a series of deliberate, resonant chuckles that echoed off the high stone pillars of the main hall."You miss me already, brother?" Elder Dona said, a smirk dancing on his lips. "I am back like I have never left! So tell me, what is the progress? I have been gone long enough that I am certain you ought to already have made a definitive decision."As he spoke, he gestured casually with his hands, taking center stage within the grand chamber.Ringo and every single official present looked at each other in bewildered silence.Their eyes shifted from Dona to Zareth, and then back to Dona.They were utterly shocked by what was transpiring, and more than anything, by the identity of this strange kid standing beside a sect elder, a youth who didn't even fear to maintain direct, unflinching eye contac

  • Chapter 113: Refined Prisoner.

    Zareth froze at that moment, and as he froze, he intentionally relaxed his muscles, letting his body drop its physical resistance to prevent his shoulder bone from being completely shattered under the terrifying pressure.!!!In that exact second, Gao moved as fast as he possibly could.Driven by pure protective instinct, the brute surged forward across the floorboards, lunging with all his explosive strength to violently smash Dona and rescue Zareth from the elder's lethal clutch."Mmmh..." Dona muttered under his breath, his eyes darkening as he instantly condensed a lethal, highly concentrated surge of violet Aether Qi at his fingertips, preparing to obliterate the approaching giant.Zareth realized the incoming catastrophe in a breath.!!!Before Gao could even reach their radius, while still heavily clutched in Dona's iron grip, Zareth violently dropped his weight.He bent down with speed and explosive force, twisting his frame so aggressively that his tunic tore at the shoulder

  • Chapter 112: The Elder's Ultimatum(2).

    “Huh!”Zareth thought at that moment, surprised by what the Elder had just proposed.But more than mere shock, a violent surge of dark wrath erupted deep within his chest. It was a searing, anger born from a single, agonizing memory: the last time he had ever been in a grand sect, it had ended with him being burned alive by the very sect he had proudly called his own.And now, this elder from some regional faction was casually demanding that he join a sect?Even so, with his mental discipline, Zareth forcefully locked down and suppressed the surging wrath threatening to break through his expression.“I am sorry, Elder,” Zareth stated instantly without wasting a single second, his voice remaining level and completely steady. “I am the designated next leader of the Red Panda Gang, so I cannot possibly join a sect.""Doing so would force me to leave this town behind, and you will have to forgive me, Elder, I have far too many unfinished matters to take care of in this town before I can e

  • Chapter 111: The Elder's Ultimatum.

    Murmurs started rippling across the hall at that moment, though they were kept low and cautious. The whispers were entirely driven by sudden curiosity and shock among the patrons.All eyes in the main hall instantly converged toward their table as Zareth calmly settled into his seat, positioning himself directly opposite Elder Dona."Mmh... now if I look carefully, that man seated there is Dona. It's Elder Dona of the Peaky Mist Sect!" a guard whispered in disbelief from his table across the room, where he and his squadmate were enjoying a break. "What is he doing sitting with a thug? It hasn't even been that long since the convoy from the Peaky Mist Sect arrived in town, has it?""It is common knowledge that he despises these thugs," the second guard replied quietly, taking a sip of his tea. "Do you think he's going to slaughter the kid right there at the table? After all, he is Lord Ringo’s brother, meaning even if he executes a person right here in the middle of the Central Region,
