2026-07-17 13:00:00Silence suddenly settled over the underground chamber.
Gerry remained standing, Obsidian Fang gripped tightly in his right hand. His breathing was still ragged after falling into the mysterious chamber, while blood from the wound at his waist continued dripping onto the stone floor littered with human skeletons.
Before him, the elderly figure who had once lain motionless had slowly opened his eyes.
Their gazes met.

The First Strike
Caelum’s face was fully illuminated by the glow of the magic torches. The entire underground corridor was instantly paralyzed by a suffocating silence.Alex Sterling took a step back by reflex. The face of the Clan Head, usually radiating cold dominance, had lost all color and composure.For the first time in decades... the ruler of the Sterling Clan displayed genuine fear.However, Gerry paid no mind to that psychological reaction. His burning gaze remained locked squarely on Alex Sterling.SHING!Gerry slowly raised Obsidian Fang, aiming its blade directly at Alex’s chest."That’s enough..." Gerry cut in, his voice rasping like burning air. "Today... I will settle all your blood debts."Gerry stepped forward. Gone was the trepidation, the hesitation, or the desire to flee.Every dark memory surfaced in unison: the day his mother met her tragic end, the suffering of having his meridians forcibly sealed, the humiliation of being discarded into the bottom of the Forbidden Abyss like re
Blood That Is Not Sterling's
The rhythmic clanking of the Black Raven unit’s iron armor echoed louder against the stone walls. Red magical torches flared around the corridor's bend, closing the distance mercilessly.[SYSTEM ALERT!][ESTIMATED TIME TO ENEMY CONFRONTATION: 90 SECONDS.]Gerry did not budge. He turned his back to the corridor entrance, ignoring Vesper’s combat cues. His weapon remained sheathed. His eyes stared at Caelum with pure, soulsearing rage."Before they set foot in this room..." Gerry spoke in a low tone, trembling with suppressed fury, "...answer my question."The entire corridor froze. Magnus stepped forward, trying to soothe Gerry’s anger.Gerry lunged forward, closing the distance until he was a mere meter from Caelum."Who is my real father?!" Gerry demanded pointblank.Caelum remained silent, standing with his arms crossed beneath his cloak. Magnus lowered his head, his lips pressed tightly together.The cold silence pushed Gerry’s rage to its breaking point.Gerry drew the Obsidian Fa
I am Not A Child Who Needs Saving
A massive golden light radiating from the forest canopy near the Forbidden Abyss illuminated the entire valley, sparking mass hysteria. Tens of thousands of cultivators charged forward in unison, risking their lives for a chance to touch the artifact hovering in the air.However... not a single one of them had managed to close the distance to within fifty meters.BOOOOOOOOOOM!!A violent explosion of energy brutally shook the earth’s structure. Alex Sterling swung his blade faster than anyone else. A thick, golden slash tore through the front lines, toppling dozens of cultivators and cutting off all access to the path."That artifact is mine! Anyone who steps forward will die!" Alex roared, his voice thundering with rage.That declaration did not stop the crowd; instead, it officially ignited a Great InterClan War.The battlefield instantly turned into an lawless slaughterhouse. Alex Sterling went headtohead with the Crimson Clan Leader, their sword clashes shattering the stone cliffs
The Shattered Sky
No sooner had Caelum finished his sentence...BOOOOOOOOOOM!!The entire underground tunnel structure shook violently. Thick dust, chunks of wall, and stone shards rained down from the ceiling, threatening to collapse the evacuation route.However, it was not the physical tremors that froze Gerry, Magnus, Edgar, and Caelum in their tracks, but an immense, crushing pressure descending directly from the sky above.This pressure was no ordinary cultivation aura. It was not the spiritual energy wave Gerry had felt from Alex Sterling. It originated from something far older, purer, and more oppressive than the Guardian of the Forbidden Abyss.The Obsidian Fang in Gerry’s hand vibrated intensely, emitting a black glow that pulsed in response to the heavy silence in the air. At the same moment, every heirloom dagger stored in the secret chamber began to hum in unison.The Vesper module in Gerry’s left eye erupted with a rapid sequence of flashing red notifications:[CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR!][EN
The Legacy Hunters
Amidst the tense silence of the mountain forest, the sound of footsteps abruptly ceased.However, the rushing air that followed no longer came from a single group of soldiers.From the east, the thunderous galloping of dozens of steelarmored warhorses shook the ground. From the north, the fluctuating auras of dozens of highlevel cultivators surged rapidly through the gaps in the trees.The forest atmosphere instantly transformed into a suffocating field of spiritual pressure.The Vesper interface in Gerry’s left eye exploded with a barrage of red Emergency Warning notifications in realtime.[CRITICAL ALERT!][DOZENS OF HIGHLEVEL CULTIVATION ENTITIES ENTERING SCANNING RADIUS.][ENTITY COUNT: CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY.]Gerry straightened his posture, tightening his grip on the Obsidian Fang. "They... are not Alex Sterling's troops."Magnus closed his eyes tightly, letting out a heavy, desperate sigh. "Too late..." Magnus whispered hoarsely. "...they have all arrived."From
The Sterling Clan's First Sin
The roar of Alex Sterling’s shout still echoed through the Sterling main hall, bouncing off the walls of the majestic structure."Do not let Caelum leave those mountains alive!"Without wasting a second, Alex immediately led his guards toward the mountains.Back in the heart of the mountain forest, the lingering silence transformed into a heartcrushing tension.Caelum stood calmly with his hands clasped behind his back, acting as if the death threat from the Sterling Clan Head were nothing more than a passing breeze.Conversely... Magnus, beside Gerry, looked increasingly tense, his body trembling as he suppressed both rage and pain."You didn't hear him..." Magnus whispered hoarsely, staring intensely at the distant trail. "This time... it isn't just Gerry who is being hunted by Alex Sterling."All the Sterling soldiers looked on in confusion. Magnus shook his head slowly, delivering a final sentence that made their blood run cold, "Alex is hunting his own past."Caelum stepped forwa
