The mist slowly unraveled, thinning like stretched silk as the cold wind drifted through the snow-laden forest.

What had been a dense veil moments ago now exposed the truth underneath—carnage, swift and silent.

Venak stood amid it all, his blade dripping, his breath steady.

Around him lay the slain bodies of awakened cultivators .

Their blood soaked into the snow, steam rising faintly as warmth met frost.

Some had fallen in mid-swing, others with wide eyes, unaware of the strike that ended them

    “War is truly a terrifying, unpredictable event sometimes,” the old veteran whispered, his low, gravelly voice drawing the immediate attention of the surrounding soldiers. They listened intently, the crackling of the fire emphasizing the gravity of his words. His eyes were wide, staring blankly into the dancing orange flames with an expression that looked as if he had entirely given up on the grand pursuit of cultivation itself. “How is it fundamentally possible for individual cultivators to attain that level of overwhelming, monstrous strength? I am completely certain that those three demonic masters could have killed every single one of us resting in this camp by simply gazing in our general direction from a mile away. Did you all feel the residual pressure radiating from that battlefield earlier? Some of our strongest disciples here were barely even able to breathe properly, their internal mana pathways completely locked down by the sheer weight of the aura.”He paused, lifti

    A few minutes earlier, after Oasis, the Six Daggers, and the Six Eyes had safely navigated the dark expanse of the plains and reached the primary rally points of the Western Alliance, a completely different atmosphere enveloped them.At this sector of the frontline, rows upon rows of temporary leather tents had already been frantically pitched across the uneven terrain. The camp was a hive of chaotic, exhausting activity; wounded warriors were currently receiving different kinds of medical treatments, healers were rushing back and forth with pungent herbal poultices, and soldiers were doing everything they could to process the lingering, heavy tension of the war. This was one of the central staging and camping sites of the entire Western vanguard, providing a brief haven for the broken forces to find aid and release the profound psychological weight of the slaughter they had barely survived.Throughout the camp, a turbulent mixture of human emotions and fragmented thoughts hung thic

    “Kenjiro is entirely right. We shouldn't be sitting here dwelling on useless speculations,” another one of the leaders spoke up, his deep voice carrying a stabilizing weight. This was Mabok Huano, the venerable leader of the Huano Village. He spoke while slowly brushing his long, thick beard, a classic physical habit of his whenever he was deep in thought. “We should focus our collective attention on tomorrow, for this war has only just begun. We may have won these initial frontline battles, but our ultimate focus must remain entirely on winning the war as a whole.”Mabok paused, his eyes reflecting the soft glow of the mana lamps as he maintained a great, unshakeable calmness. “Therefore, I also have a practical suggestion. We should immediately send a formal dispatch to call out that mysterious person to come here to our headquarters.""That way, we can properly understand their true stance in this conflict, discern exactly why they are aiding the Western Alliance, and determine

    Meanwhile, at the sprawling, fortified headquarters of the Western Alliance, perched high atop the jagged, wind-swept peak of a towering mountain, another battlefield report was flying in with breakneck speed. The atmosphere within the grand strategic pavilion was thick with a heavy, agonizing tension that had been weighing on the commanders for hours.Suddenly, a blurred figure burst through the heavy silk entrance of the chamber, moving with frantic momentum before dropping hard onto both knees, bowing deeply toward the assembled leaders.“We have won! We have completely won this round of the war!” the messenger cried out, his voice pitched high with an overwhelming excitement. He spoke with a rapid, staccato delivery, the words tumbling out of his mouth so fast that he didn't even pause to take a breath or swallow his own saliva. He was visibly caught in a tempest of pure exhilaration and residual terror from an outcome that had seemed utterly impossible to attain just moments p

    “Looking at him from this close…” Kyoku Shirabe thought to himself, his knee pressed firmly against the cooling, glass-like molten rock.While keeping his posture perfectly straight and his head deeply bowed, he dared to steal a brief, calculating glance upward at Oasis’s profile.“There is absolutely no room for doubt. He looks incredibly young. If I had to guess based on his physical features, I would say he is barely seventeen years of age. I myself am already twenty-eight, and yet he possesses this level of terrifying strength. Not only that, but he already has a child as old as Vesta! What kind of place is the Lunaris Sect to allow children to have children at that age? Unless…”A sudden thought struck Kyoku's mind, a desperate attempt to rationalize the absurd disparity in front of him.“Father always said that if I don't want to look like an old man, I must cultivate at an explosive pace so that my physical body can remain young even when I reach hundreds of years of age. Yes,

  • Chapter 747: Gathering of the Ashes.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM__________!!!!!!!!!!The entire massive war zone violently vibrated as the total, concentrated energy from the ultimate form struck the ground dead-center. The catastrophic discharge created a massive, incredibly wide crater in the plain, but unlike the prior attacks, the properties of this specific technique did not cause a messy eruption of earth. Instead, the intense, primordial heat simply ate away and dissolved the very composition of the ground itself. Terrifying, scorching shockwaves erupted outward in all directions, turning the entire surrounding environment into a glowing sea of bubbling molten stone as everything melted from the sheer, ungodly heat. Mezic’s severed left arm, which had been resting in the dirt, along with every single piece of debris and weaponry within the epicenter, was instantly turned to liquid slag. The heat wave rippled far outward, traveling even beyond the two-kilometer marker where Vesta and the others stood watching, forcing V
