Clara stepped quickly to his side, her face still pale with concern as she looked at the dark emblem."Austin, you shouldn't have accepted that badge so easily," Clara warned, her voice hushed."The Death Division isn't just a tough branch—it is a meat grinder.""The Academy uses it to discard rogue elements, dangerous renegades, and lower-realm talents

Chapter 169: The Nether Abyss Invasion
The sky above the Grand Colosseum didn't just darken; it shattered. Thick, tar-like abyssal mist poured down from the thousand-mile Void Tear, drowning the floating cloud-palaces in suffocating shadow. THOOM! THOOM! THOOM! Giant black iron war-rigs—each the size of a floating mountain and bristling with jagged obsidian cannons—pushed their way out of the rift. Behind the war-rigs streamed millions of void demons. They were hideous, winged horrors with glowing crimson eyes and razor-sharp scythe arms, screeching with a hunger that vibrated through the soul. Chaos erupted across the Grand Colosseum. Millions of spectating nobles, sect elders, and young disciples panicked. They trampled over one another, scrambling frantically toward the outer teleportation platforms, trying to flee the descending swarm. "Save us! The void demons have breached the realm!" "Where are the imperial guards?!
Chapter 168: The Final Sixteen
The central arena rings of the Grand Colosseum were cleared of General Vorak’s blood within minutes. Yet the heavy atmosphere hanging over the Central Realm could not be washed away so easily. The public execution of an imperial enforcer had permanently fractured the crowd's blind trust in the High Sovereign's authority. Austin stepped off the central ring with the same calm, measured pace he had arrived with. His hands rested comfortably in his tunic pockets, his golden dragon eyes paying no mind to the millions of whispering spectators in the soaring stands. The duel rounds proceeded at a relentless, staggering pace. In Ring 2, Princess Clara delivered a masterclass in spatial tactical warfare. Facing an aggressive Tier-8 sword-master from the Sun-Shatter Sect, she didn't cast a single offensive spell. Instead, her silver star-compass hummed smoothly, laying down overlapping spatial-bending arrays that
Chapter 167: Unmasking the Veteran
The central arena ring of the Grand Colosseum hummed with latent killing intent. Standing thirty paces across from Austin, the disguised warrior known as "Kaelen"—in truth, General Vorak of the Imperial Shadow Vanguard—grinned savagely. With a low, grinding sound, Vorak unslung not just his heavy broadsword, but summoned a shimmering set of obsidian-plated Divine Armor and a six-foot long, blood-red Tier-9 Sovereign Halberd directly from his spatial ring. The weapon vibrated with ancient, suffocating pressure, casting a crimson haze across the ironwood floor. "A thirty-year veteran using a Tier-9 weapon against a lower-world freshman?" Princess Clara observed quietly from the team prep chamber, her fingers flying across her console. "The proctors are completely ignoring the weapon tier restrictions for him. The High Sovereign’s influence is blatant." On the arena floor, the proctor raised his hand and brought it
Chapter 166: The Dual Tournament Tactics
The vast staging arena beneath the Grand Colosseum hummed with chaotic energy, but inside the private prep chamber reserved for the top-ranking team, the air was dead silent. Outside, the cheers of millions of spectators vibrated through the reinforced obsidian walls. Austin’s historic record-breaking performance in the survival round had shattered the arrogance of the upper-realm crowds, turning silent disbelief into frantic, hushed speculation. Inside the chamber, Clara stood behind a sleek, multi-screen holographic console connected directly to her family’s private corporate intelligence hub. Her fingers danced across the glowing keypads with cold, professional efficiency, her expression sharper than ever. "The encrypted data packets have been distributed," Clara said quietly, her eyes reflecting the pale blue light of her interface. "Using our private commercial lines and relay satellites, we bypassed the imperial grand
Chapter 165: Breaking the Shadow Syndicate
The cold wind howling across the elevated stone plateau carried a sharp, metallic stench. Over three hundred elite cultivators from the Blood Moon Pavilion, the Eclipse Sword Sect, and the Shadow-Vein Enforcers stood in immaculate formation. They blocked the swirling silver gate that served as the sole exit from the collapsing sub-world. At the front of the army, the pale leader of the Eclipse Sword Sect rested his jet-black longsword on his shoulder. His hollow eyes locked onto Austin with cold, venomous delight. "Austin Vance," the leader sneered, his voice amplified by dark spirit energy. "You made a grand display on the black sand plains, but mindless brute force means nothing against organized, high-tier martial factions." He raised his black sword high into the air. "Activate the 9th-Tier Abyssal Binding Seal! Do not allow him a single inch of spatial movem
Chapter 164: Navigating the Void Jungle
The air inside the Void Jungle was thick with the copper stench of old blood and decaying spatial energy. Towering crimson trees—their leaves shaped like jagged obsidian blades—stretched thousands of feet into the violent, storm-streaked sky of the collapsing sub-world. Every few minutes, a deep, grinding roar echoed through the forest floor as spatial fissures split the earth, swallowing massive roots and ancient boulders into the dark void. While other surviving groups moved through the jungle with absolute terror, clinging to the shadows and jumping at every crack of a twig, Austin walked at a measured, unhurried pace. Behind him, Clara kept her silver star-compass floating at eye level, while Linus strode alongside his three-tailed golden fox, its ears constantly twitching to monitor the treacherous terrain. "Austin," Clara murmured, her scholar mind analyzing the erratic spatial distortions ahead. "The spatial flux in
