Ho Chen sharpened his gaze. He focused on a building situated on an island surrounded by tall trees.

Even though the building wasn’t entirely visible, Ho Chen—who was used to exploring dense forests—could still confirm that what he was seeing wasn’t a mistake. But what puzzled him was, why would there be a structure in the middle of a lake located almost at the mountaintop? Who built it, and how was it constructed?

The twenty-year-old’s brows suddenly furrowed. He vaguely saw a large bubble of air rising from the island, moving toward Fang Yun, who was still enjoying a swim at the lake’s edge.

Not wanting anything bad to happen to his friend, Ho Chen shouted at the top of his lungs, warning Fang Yun to get out of the water immediately.

“Fang Yun, get out of the water, now!” Ho Chen pointed at the air bubble that was moving faster and faster.

Fang Yun thought Ho Chen was just joking around. He even teased Ho Chen to join him in the water.

“I’m not joking, look over there!” Ho Chen shou

  • Entering the Demon Realm

    Ho Chen ducked low and twisted slightly as the demon gatekeeper’s spear swung toward his neck. He aimed a punch with his left fist toward his opponent’s stomach, but the attack was narrowly dodged.The cave trembled slightly as Ho Chen’s missed blow released a surge of stray energy from the Drunken God Strike, which slammed into the cave wall.Fortunately, he hadn’t used his full inner energy—fearing that a missed strike could collapse the cave. His caution was justified. If the cave crumbled, he would be buried inside along with it.Before he could retract his palm, the demon’s spear slashed toward his arm. He barely managed to block it with the heirloom staff in his right hand.However, the force of the block left him vulnerable—a kick landed squarely on his chest, sending him hurtling backward. His body crashed into the cave wall, but not too violently, as he had driven his Yellow Iron Staff into the ground to slow his momentum, leaving a long scar along the cave floor.He hadn’t y

  • The Death of the Demon Beast and the Guardian Hound

    "I have to kill that damned hound first!" Ho Chen muttered furiously. Every time he launched an attack, it was always disrupted by the demon hound that aided the two demon gatekeepers. As a result, he couldn’t land a direct blow on his enemies.Ho Chen increased his speed. This time, he focused solely on the demon hound. He was convinced that once the hound was dead, he could take down the two gatekeepers much faster.Realizing that the hound had become the young man's main target, the two demon gatekeepers tried to protect it. They fought desperately to block Ho Chen’s swift attacks within the cave-shaped dimensional portal.Their large, towering bodies were also hindered by the cave’s ceiling, limiting their movement. So, defense became their temporary solution until the gate would close again.But Ho Chen didn’t let them breathe even for a second. He kept chasing them wherever they moved. His smaller frame compared to the demons gave him a distinct advantage, one he utilized to its

  • Battle Within the Dimensional Portal

    “You’d better avoid fighting the portal guardians, Ho Chen. Look for the right moment to sneak in. They won’t hesitate to kill,” said Qiang Mo.“Why should there be a fight? Can’t I just walk in?” Ho Chen asked, clearly confused. His expression said it all.“You are not one of them, Ho Chen. No matter how well you disguise yourself, the demon hounds will still detect you,” Qiang Mo explained briefly.“Demon hounds? You’re kidding, Grandpa!” Ho Chen chuckled lightly.“You’re laughing now because you don’t know what the demon realm is really like. Once you’re inside, you’ll encounter many strange things,” Qiang Mo said with slight irritation.“Sorry, Grandpa.” Ho Chen lowered his head apologetically.“It’s alright, Ho Chen. Let this be a lesson. People have different levels of understanding. What you think is right might not be so for someone with a deeper insight—and vice versa.” Qiang Mo smiled as he gently stroked the young man’s hair.“I understand what you’re saying. There’s still

  • the Green Turtle Talisman

    Ho Chen swallowed hard. Although he had never directly encountered the power of the Hell Serpent Demon, the fact that Qiang Mo was this concerned was enough to confirm that the demon’s strength was truly terrifying. “I have to stop it, Grandpa. No matter what it takes, that cursed creature must not rise again.” “There’s one more problem, actually, Ho Chen.” Qiang Mo let out a long sigh. “What now?” Ho Chen asked curiously. “Her Majesty Qiang Hui said your friend has already fallen in love with the demon king’s daughter. And that means your task will be even more difficult, Ho Chen. If your friend refuses to return, then you must kill him,” Qiang Mo replied. It was a heavy truth, but one he had to tell. “Does it really have to go that far, Grandpa?” Ho Chen rubbed his forehead. It was a situation he had never wished to face. Killing Fang Yun would be like killing himself. “If you don’t want to kill him, then you must take him away from that place!” Ho Chen blinked several times.

  • The Worries of Qiang Mo

    "Look, Zuan Lifeng. A new legend in the martial world has emerged. Once his name shines, the three of us will be forgotten even more," said Qiang Mo, the Medicine God."You’re right, Qiang Mo. At first, I thought Ho Chen wouldn’t be able to empty his mind without the help of liquor. But it turns out, he found his own method. His movements even look exactly like someone who's drunk," replied the Drunken God, then took a swig from the small jar at his waist."By the way, how is the Sword God doing? Does he already know about Ho Chen?" he asked."Her Majesty Qiang Hui must have told him long ago, Zuan Lifeng. About one full moon ago, I visited him at Mount Agung in Balidwipa, but he was still in meditation. I think he’ll only end it once Ho Chen finds him," replied Qiang Mo."Alright then, let’s go meet Ho Chen. He deserves our congratulations."Without waiting for a reply, the Drunken God vanished on the spot. Qiang Mo shook his head slowly before disappearing as well.---One day passe

  • Fang Yun’s Fascination

    As a normal young man, Fang Yun was immediately captivated by the beauty of the Demon King's daughter. Her angelic face shattered his assumption that a demon princess must look hideous, like the rest of her kind.His fascination was clear as he kept staring at the princess, who blushed under his gaze. From time to time, their eyes met, and shy smiles were exchanged between them.After the three of them had taken their seats, the female demon who had kidnapped Fang Yun knelt before the Demon King."I have fulfilled Your Majesty’s command. I have brought the human here. It was not easy—he resisted and even attempted to take his own life. But I managed to persuade him."The Demon King glanced at Fang Yun briefly before shifting his gaze to his daughter. A thin smile curved on his lips as he sensed mutual affection between the two."Is it true that you resisted earlier, human?" asked the Demon King."My name is Fang Yun, Your Majesty. What she said is completely untrue. The moment I found
