Chapter 189. Seeds of Suspicion.
The battlefield had quieted for a brief moment, a lull that felt almost unnatural. Kirin moved through the scorched remains of Blackwater Valley, boots crunching on broken stone and ash. Smoke still curled from the corpses of demons and soldiers alike, the air heavy with the metallic scent of blood. The Mid Soul Nascent power thrumming within him made every breath feel sharper, every heartbeat louder. He was alive, and he was strong—but the world around him was fragile.Voices drifted to him from a nearby encampment. Soldiers huddled together, exhausted, battered, and wary. At first, Kirin ignored them. Soldiers whispered constantly, half in fear, half in habit, and he had no interest in idle gossip. But the words caught his attention, dragging him closer like a magnet to a hidden fault line.“They’ve known… the nobles have always known,” one soldier muttered, voice low. “This was coming, and they did nothing. They’ve been sitting in their halls, hoarding what could have saved lives.”
Chapter 188. The Demon Horde.
The sun barely rose over the plains of Malakar when the horizon split open in a terrifying surge. A wall of darkness, moving and alive, crawled across the lands like a tide of shadows. Tens of thousands of demons poured through the portals, their grotesque forms stretching the imagination—clawed, scaled, horned, and screaming in voices that could crack stone.The ground shook with the weight of their march. Villages burned before the army even reached them. Soldiers tried to form lines, but the sheer number of invaders crushed every tactic. Spears snapped under the force of charging monstrosities. Arrows darkened the sky, but many demons ignored them, shrugging off even the strongest magical strikes.Kirin appeared on the battlefield as if born from the chaos itself. His black lightning-infused Qi danced around him, cutting through the air with a sharp hiss. His sword moved in a blur, each strike leaving scorched impressions on the earth, bodies of demons torn apart in a storm of bloo
Chapter 187. Return to the Battlefield.
The wind carried the scent of smoke and death across the plains of Malakar. Where villages had once thrived, only charred ruins remained. The cries of the wounded and the dying were faint echoes, barely carrying above the constant roar of battle. Portals still tore the sky, irregular tears bleeding energy from the underworld, and the occasional howl of lesser demons punctuated the air.Kirin emerged from the mist of morning, stepping over splintered wagons and fallen soldiers. The Mid Soul Nascent breakthrough had left him renewed—his veins thrumming with black lightning and chaos essence coiling around his Qi like living serpents. Every step he took resonated with raw energy, and even the slightest gust of wind seemed to bend around him.Soldiers paused mid-stride, their expressions frozen between disbelief and hope. They had fought for days, staggering beneath endless waves of demons, and now here was Kirin—alone, unannounced, and radiating a presence that could cut through despair
Chapter 186. Breakthrough to Middle Soul Nascent Stage.
Kirin returned to a secluded cliff far from the chaos of the war, where the air hummed with raw energy and silence reigned. Smoke from distant battles hung low, carried by the wind like a reminder of the destruction spreading through Malakar. He crouched on the jagged rocks, eyes closed, the world narrowing to the rhythm of his breath and the pulse of energy coursing through his veins.For weeks he had pushed himself beyond the limits of exhaustion, surviving venom, battles, and portals of chaotic energy. Every step had tested him, every fight left him drained. And yet, even now, his body still ached from the last trial at the Serpent’s Pool. The chaos essence within him stirred, restless, a feral presence demanding release. His Qi was sharper, heavier, but still not enough. He needed more. He needed transcendence.He seated himself cross-legged, palms resting on his knees, and drew in a slow, deliberate breath. Darkness swirled in his dantian, coiling like a living shadow, colliding
Chapter 185. The Serpent’s Pool.
The valley yawned before him like an unspoken challenge. Jagged rocks clawed at the sky, and thick mist slithered between them, carrying a faint tang of sulfur and decay. Kirin’s boots sank slightly into damp moss as he moved forward, senses alert. Somewhere deeper, the Serpent’s Pool awaited—a body of water whispered about in old scrolls, feared for its venomous essence that could either refine a cultivator’s body and spirit or consume them entirely.Legends claimed the pool was guarded, not by mortal warriors, but by a colossal serpent spirit, ancient beyond counting. Its scales shimmered like black glass under the faint light filtering through the mist. Its eyes were twin orbs of molten gold, piercing through shadows, through flesh, into the very soul of anyone who dared approach. Many had tried to claim the pool’s power. Few returned. Those who did were said to be forever altered, their energy flowing with a purity and danger unlike any other.Kirin paused at the edge of the clear
Chapter 184. The Road of Elixirs.
The wind whipped across the shattered plains outside Malakar, carrying the stench of charred earth and the faint metallic tang of blood. Kirin’s boots crunched against fractured stone, each step echoing in the silence that had fallen over the ruined countryside. The battle had ended—or paused—but the war was far from over. Every portal, every demon, every horror he had faced in recent days had only confirmed what he already knew: he was not strong enough. Not yet.He moved alone, the only sound his own breathing and the occasional rustle of wind through skeletal trees. The ruins of villages dotted the landscape—smoke still curling from collapsed roofs, doors hanging from their hinges, the scattered remains of lives interrupted. Survivors huddled in shadows, peeking at him with wide, fearful eyes. Some whispered prayers. Others shouted warnings or begged him to stay, to fight beside them, to protect them from the next wave of monsters.Kirin ignored them all.He had learned long ago th
