Chapter 190. The Crimson Revelation.
Kirin’s steps were quiet as he moved through the war-torn landscape of Malakar. The air was thick with ash and smoke, and the occasional wail of survivors echoed across the shattered plains. Even now, weeks after the first rift appeared in the sky, the world seemed fragile, as though one wrong movement could tear it entirely apart.He had returned to the battlefield repeatedly, cutting through hordes of demons, saving soldiers, and forcing open collapsing portals. And yet, despite his efforts, something gnawed at him—something more than the endless carnage. The attacks were too precise, too deliberate, too… organized for a mindless surge of monsters.It was during a rare moment of rest that the truth began to reveal itself. Kirin had taken refuge in a ruined temple, high on a cliff overlooking one of the major battlefields. Soldiers and survivors had left traces of campfires below, their movements hurried and cautious. But it wasn’t the smoke or the distant clashes that caught his att
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
