The process was lengthy and required intense concentration, accompanied by soft music emanating from hidden speakers within the room. Yara and Dr. Anita could only wait anxiously, observing Darian's every move, occasionally whispering to each other, conveying their worry and support.

After a while, Sekar began to show signs of consciousness. She slightly opened her eyes, her gaze still a bit dazed, but no longer displaying the blinding obsession. She found herself in Darian's private room, adorned with photos and awards.

Surprise filled her face, mixed with confusion and the lingering effects of the drug that made her slightly dizzy. However, even in such a state, Sekar's characteristic sarcasm surfaced.

"Hey, beggar," she said, her voice still a bit hoarse, "what are you doing here? Have you become the pet of these two beautiful women? No wonder your clothes are expensive and nice now. You've managed to move up in the world, haven't you?" She tried to sit up, but her body still felt

  • Chapter 88 Third Soul Resonance

    The sound of spiritual cracking echoed. The first monster exploded, and the second followed shortly after.Successive explosions swept across the arena.The Underworld sky was filled with swirls of burning black Qi. As the dust settled, only two figures stood in the centre of the arena.Darian almost fell to his knees, but restrained himself. The aura on his body began to decline. He was alive. They were alive.Liria stepped quickly toward him. Her steps were firm. Her eyes were no longer cold-but turbulent. It was like something inside her was about to explode along with the bodies of the monsters.Wordlessly, she grabbed Darian by the collar and kissed him. Quickly. Deep. Spontaneous. Like the final eruption of an inner war that had been stifled for too long.Not out of love. But because of the victory. Because of relief. Because they were still breathing in a world that knew no mercy.Blood, dust, and melted Qi still hung in the air as their lips touched. But it wasn't the body tha

  • Chapter 87 – The Resonance Arena

    The black ground of the Resonance Arena trembled. Natural stone pillars rose all around, forming a giant ring with bloody runes glistening on their surface.The sky of the Underworld remained red, but purple flashes began to streak across the horizon—a sign that the previous ritual had awakened something older than time.Darian stood in the centre of the arena. His qi burned with a colour he had never felt before—a mixture of burning Nyxtherion and a subtle hint of Yin that enveloped him like jade mist.Liria stood beside him, her dark cloak fluttering gently. There was no smile. Only calmness. But in her eyes, there was conviction, not attachment."Your union with my energy is complete," she said, her voice as calm as a starless night. "But make no mistake… you are not free from this arena. You must win to escape."Darian nodded, gripping his sword. "I won't lose. I must return." A thunderous roar erupted from the stands.The Demon Race gathered in large numbers, their cheers and how

  • Chapter 86 The Bound Soul Market

    When Darian regained consciousness, the world had changed. He was in a stone cell with bone bars, red light flickering from the walls like the heartbeat of a world in pain.Outside, the clanking of chains and low howls echoed from all directions. The air was thick with a feeling of suffocation, as if every breath came at a price.Across from him, another cell stood empty… except for one. A woman sat cross-legged, her hair long and tangled, but her skin was clean, pale, and her eyes—bright red like fire in a blood crystal—were wide open, staring at Darian."Finally, you're awake."Her voice was calm, but like a sharp shadow in the middle of the night. Darian raised his head, breathing heavily. His onyx necklace glowed faintly, and… sensed something. Qi resonance. Soft. Deep. Restrained."Who are you?" Darian muttered. "Liria," she replied. "I was once a princess of the Zarka Clan. Now? Just a discarded slave."Darian's eyes narrowed. His Qi tried to feel around him, then suddenly coll

  • Chapter 85   The Spirit That Would Not Die

    “We have to fix this portal,” Yara said, her voice firm despite her teary eyes. “Darian… I can feel him, Anita. He’s scared, but he’s fighting. We have to bring him back.”Anita nodded, her hands clenching Yara's arms. “I feel it too,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “But this bond... it feels weak, like a thread that's about to snap. How can we reach him?”Kai’s hologram appeared beside them, flickering more steadily in the air of Imperium City. “[Your soul bond is weakening due to the dimensional gap, but you can strengthen it through cultivation meditation. By aligning your Yin and Yang energies, you can send Qi to Darian, even to the Underworld. It’s like lighting a spiritual lighthouse to help him find his way home. But you must do it together, with complete trust.]“Yara frowned, staring at Kai's hologram suspiciously. ”Wait, Kai. If you were supposed to merge with Darian, why are you here with us? And... you said you can feel what he's feeling. What kind of feeling is that?

    They stepped toward the rune portal, jade green light glowing around them, but the unstable vibrations from the rune circle made Darian pause. The varion onyx necklace on his chest throbbed loudly, as if warning of danger."Something's wrong," he said, his voice low, his eyes scanning the runes beginning to flicker erratically.Yara nodded, the wind swirling restlessly around her. "I feel it too," she said, her hand tightening around Anita's. This portal... it seems unstable. Kai, what's going on?"Kai's hologram flickered beside them, its blue light trembling violently. "[I detect a disruption in the portal's energy flow. The residual Qi of Ryu Tsukikage we neutralized earlier has weakened the rune structure. There's a risk this portal won't take you to the same destination. You must enter together, but I can't guarantee you'll arrive at the main base intact.]"Darian clenched his fists, the flames of Nyxtherion igniting in his eyes. "We have no choice," he said, his voice filled wit

  • Chapter 83: The Effect of the Bond — Harmony of Souls

    The mist of the Eternal Sakura Valley began to fade, leaving behind traces of jade green petals floating slowly in the air, as if mourning the departure of Ryu Tsukikage's shadow.Inside the Tsukikage Sky Temple, Darian, Yara, and Anita still sat in the rune circle, their breaths now in sync, though their bodies were weary from the Yin-Yang Energy Union ritual.Moonlight slipped through the temple roof's cracks, reflecting off the Sacred Moon Relic and creating a serene aura that contrasted with the unease beginning to creep into their hearts.Darian felt something strange—a sudden pang of sadness spreading through his chest, like an unspoken burden that wasn't his own. His eyes, still glowing with the remnants of Nyxtherion's fire, looked at Yara and Anita.With her brown hair gently swaying in the wind she had created, Yara looked restless, her fingers twirling to create small, unnecessary swirls.Anita, who had just recovered, bowed her head deeply, her face hidden behind her loose
