"Shirong, stop!" The voice echoed among the members of the Yuntai Kingdom's entourage. Although the others were too intimidated to confront Shirong directly, this young man dared to address him by name. Shirong's face twisted in anger, his eyes blazing as he turned to face the speaker.

"Brother Shunyuan, are you going to let them go just like that? After the injured Renyi so badly?" he asked, his voice almost a growl.

"Shirong, aren’t you ashamed of what happened? Look how easily Renyi was defeated—doesn't that sight open your eyes?" Shunyuan said calmly. Then he stepped forward and clasped his hands respectfully toward Xiao Tian and the others. "Friends from the Supreme Sword Sect, please forgive my younger brother and the other members of my kingdom for their rudeness."

Shirong’s anger flared even more at Shunyuan’s actions, but he didn’t dare challenge the prince’s authority, who was also the strongest member of the young generation within their group. Realizing his powerlessness,

    Xiao Tian closed his eyes. “Damn, I need to control my eyes. If this keeps up, I won’t be able to focus on training.”Their journey on the ship proceeded without significant obstacles, although they had to stop a few times when the ship was intercepted by pirates. However, this ship was filled with martial arts experts, including one of the Elders from the Misty Cloud Sect, who wasn’t just an Earth Realm warrior but a Sky Realm warrior at the fourth rank. The Elder easily dispatched the pirates who tried to block their way.After months of travel, they finally arrived at the Empire’s center. Daniel, Liu Qingyun, and Shu Hen couldn’t hide their amazement at the grand sight of the Imperial capital. However, to Xiao Tian, the sight was nothing special. He had often been brought to the Empire by his father, so this view was familiar to him.The Ming Dynasty was much stronger than the She Dynasty, and its Imperial center was more grand and awe-inspiring.As they disembarked from the ship,

    Seeing Daniel manage to hold his own against his three opponents, the young dark-skinned man felt he couldn't just stand by and watch. "Attack together! He's only a first rank. No matter how strong his fighting skills are, he will tire out over time."The dark-skinned youth pulled out a pair of iron gloves, his weapon of choice, different from other warriors who typically used swords.*Tssut—*The three other warriors quickly joined their comrades who were already attacking. Daniel now faced attacks from two swords coming from the front, while two more came at him from the right and left.With incredible speed, Daniel wielded his sword, his movements graceful as he parried the barrage of incoming sword strikes. However, the sheer number of opponents eventually gave him trouble. From behind, the dark-skinned youth attacked with lightning speed.*BANG!*A hard punch landed on Daniel's back, causing him to wince slightly in pain."You cowardly scoundrel! Since you all intend to kill me,

    After ensuring Daniel’s safe return, Xiao Tian immediately set off again. In his hand was a large amount of gold coins he had obtained from the young black-skinned man earlier. "With this much money," he thought, "it shouldn't be difficult for me to get a quality sword."This time, his destination was the Phoenix Dragon Association, located in the heart of the Empire. Known as the place that provided all the needs of warriors, Xiao Tian was confident he could find a sword that suited his needs there. With a determined stride, he began searching for the way to the association.Meanwhile, Ling Faizhe had arrived at his residence. As soon as he passed through the entrance, an overwhelming sense of nausea struck him. This was the first time he had witnessed such a brutal and merciless murder scene. In front of Xiao Tian and Daniel, Ling Faizhe tried hard to maintain his composure, attempting not to show that he was someone who had just entered the world of martial arts. "Damn," he muttere

    The elders immediately handed over the data of the students participating in the competition after She Xongjan received the complete list of all participants. In a loud voice, She Xongjan invited the participants to enter the Martial Arts Arena."Everyone, gather first," She Xongjan ordered his voice echoing powerfully and reaching everyone in the spectator stands.Xiao Tian and Daniel immediately entered the Martial Arts Arena to gather, with Daniel continuously observing his potential opponents. Only Xiao Tian remained calm and unaffected by the surrounding crowd.When all the participants were in the arena, the elders from Yunlang Valley, Qiantu Sect, and Black Lotus Sect started to appear restless. "Where is Hujian? The event has started, but he hasn't shown up yet," they murmured anxiously. They seemed panicked because the most talented student from their sect hadn't arrived.Meanwhile, Shunyuan kept a sharp eye on Xiao Tian and Daniel. Internally, he cursed, “Damn, those two bra

    She Xongjan announced the next match. “Next up, number 14,” he said with a thunderous voice. Xiao Tian sat calmly, his eyes observing the ongoing battles in front of him. However, his expression reflected boredom. Match after match passed without anything catching his interest.Finally, She Xongjan's voice resounded in the air again. “Number 13, please enter the Martial Arts Arena!”Whoosh—Whoosh—Two figures immediately darted into the centre of the arena. She Xongjan continued, “Ling Faizhe from the Ling Kingdom versus Shaiming from the Endless Valley.”Without hesitation, Shaiming drew his weapon—a silver spear that gleamed sharply under the sun.Buzz—Instantly, Shaiming’s domain became apparent. He, like Ling Faizhe, was a third-ranked Earth King warrior. Ling Faizhe merely snorted coldly as he sensed his opponent's aura. “If you think you’re capable, come forward! There’s no need to show off your strength in front of me,” he said in a mocking tone.Shaming smirked disdainfully,

    Peizhi raised his sword and shouted, "DANCE OF A HUNDRED SWORDS!"A powerful surge of sword energy erupted like a whirlpool, flowing into Peizhi's body. Xiao Tian immediately recognized this technique; it was one that Xing Han had displayed when facing him in the Supreme Sword Sect.Xiao Tian had to admit that Peizhi's technique this time was far stronger than the one Xing Han had shown. However, thanks to his previous experience, Xiao Tian had thoroughly studied this technique and knew its weaknesses.Peizhi glared sharply at Xiao Tian. "Tian, why haven't you drawn your sword yet? Are the two swords on your back just for decoration?"Xiao Tian gave a small smile. "To face you, I don’t need a sword. My bare hands are more than enough!"Peizhi felt his blood boil, the veins on his forehead bulging with uncontrollable anger. "Arrogant! Don’t blame me if I become ruthless!" he shouted at Xiao Tian, who merely responded with a mocking grin.Peizhi didn’t wait any longer; the energy within

    Xiao Tian had proven his abilities beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, admiring gazes were directed at him, especially from the women of the Misty Cloud Sect.Shouxue, Yi Min, and Ershita'er—who usually wore expressions as cold as ice—watched Xiao Tian from a distance.Shouxue whispered to Ershita'er, "Sister, you keep staring at him. Could it be that you’re interested in him?""Sister, don't joke around. Even though he’s strong, he’s still a child, only ten years old. Besides, I’m not interested in thinking about men at my age right now. I must focus on becoming stronger so that our Sect can be more respected, not only in the She Dynasty but across the Continent!" Ershita'er said, turning her face away, no longer looking at Xiao Tian from afar.Yi Min, who stood between them, simply shook her head at Shouxue's behaviour. However, she added, "Sister Shouxue, I feel that the boy named Tian shouldn’t be underestimated. During the previous match, I didn’t see him use any combat techniqu

    After Xing Han conceded and She Xongjan announced the winner, Daniel turned around and began walking away from the Martial Arena.However, before leaving entirely, Daniel paused for a moment and coldly said, "Xing Han, you should be grateful that you only lost one hand. If I hadn't shown mercy, your life could have ended here. So remember, you should thank me for being alive. But I warn you, if you're not satisfied with this outcome, you can challenge me anytime. I'll fight you until your last breath!"Without waiting for Xing Han's response, Daniel leapt and returned to his seat beside Xiao Tian. All eyes in the Spectator Stands were now on the two disciples of the Supreme Sword Sect. No one expected a third-tier sect to win the battle so impressively. The most humiliated in this competition was the Boundless Valley, as they lost three of their representatives on the very first day.She Xongjan, who was hovering in the air, looked around the arena and at everyone present. "Today's ma

    Not a single person moved. Not a single voice spoke. Everyone now gazed at the golden pillar not with mere awe, but with reverence—with realization. That before them stood not just a symbol of immortality, but a path to true destiny. A path only for those willing to risk everything—even their pride and self-belief. Xiao Tian's expression remained calm. But everyone could see, in the stillness, a light ignited within his eyes. There were no cheers. No commentary. Only rising tension, as the awareness spread that the true trial had just begun. But before anyone could step forward, a sarcastic voice shattered the silence. "You all can carve your names first. Consider it a gift for those from the lower realms," Xiao Rui scoffed. Yet his voice no longer carried the weight it once had. Even his mockery felt hollow. The arrogance in his tone had already been eroded by the truth everyone had just witnessed. No one responded. Not a single person cared to engage. Even the geniuses from majo

    The golden light fused with him. It didn’t just surround him—it was absorbed. Every strand of his hair glowed softly. Every pore of his body drew in divine energy flowing from every corner of the inheritance realm. No one could deny it—the world was offering its deepest essence to Xiao Tian. This phenomenon was different. Whereas the golden light had previously only healed and slightly empowered those who emerged from the gate, now the inheritance realm was surrendering its essence. It was a supreme acknowledgment. A complete reverence. BOOM— An explosion of aura erupted. But it wasn’t a wild aura—it was an inward explosion, condensing the surrounding world. Xiao Tian opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed like lightning, then vanished. He clenched his fist. It felt like holding the world itself. "Just by standing here, I made two breakthroughs at once," he murmured quietly as if speaking to himself. His lips curled into a faint smile—not arrogant, but firm. "I’ve now reached the

    As Xiao Lian's steps had yet to fully stabilize amidst her resurgence, and her breath still intertwined with the golden world's aura, the light from the 'death' gate surged violently once more. BUZZ— A powerful tremor swept across the golden land. The previously serene air quivered under the energy waves emanating from the dark gate that had earlier accepted Xiao Lian. Now, with a vortex of dark light intermingled with divine radiance, three figures emerged from within. Xiao Rui, Xiao Zimo, and Xiao Yue. However, their emergence starkly contrasted with Xiao Lian's earlier return. There was no tranquility, no honor—only the aftermath of a journey through a concealed hell within that gate. Xiao Rui appeared in a dire state. His battle robe was torn, revealing bruised and bleeding skin. His body bore numerous injuries, and his breath was ragged as if he had narrowly escaped being buried alive. His legs wavered upon touching the golden ground, yet sheer willpower kept him upright

    Moments later, the gate marked ‘Life’ began to tremble gently. From behind the golden-white light that flowed like living water, figures began to emerge one by one. Members of the Xiao branch clan stepped out from the gate, most of them unharmed. Yet none of them bore expressions of satisfaction. There were no signs of victory or relief. Their eyes instead turned toward the other gate—‘Death’—with gazes full of worry. Silence hung on their faces, and in the breeze scented with divine fragrance, anxiety cloaked them all. Elsewhere, Bai Ruochen, who stood among the elite geniuses, watched their movements closely. Her eyes narrowed, then shifted to the tall young man wearing the badge of the Eternal Dragon Shadow Pavilion. “Long Hotian,” she asked quietly, though her voice carried a pressure that could not be concealed, “did Xiao Lian enter the Gate of Death and fail to return?” Long Hotian shook his head slowly. “I can’t be certain, but judging by the fact she hasn’t emerged with th

    “Young Miss, please don’t take such a risk. It’s better to go through the Gate of Life. It’s been proven safe. The Starry Sky Inheritance is far too rare—perhaps it doesn’t even appear once in two thousand years. If you miss this, there may never be another chance.” His tone conveyed sincere concern. He wasn’t just a subordinate. He was one of the few who still dared to speak up with courage amidst such a heavy atmosphere. But Xiao Lian simply shook her head slowly. There was no doubt in her eyes. “You don’t need to worry. If I fail, it only means I’m not worthy yet. I won’t regret it.” Her voice carried a firmness that left no room for argument. Before anyone could reply, her body moved. Her robe fluttered gently, her hair streamed behind her, and the aura around her fused with the wind as she flew straight toward the gate marked ‘Death.’ Everyone held their breath. But what happened was different from before. There was no scream. No body thrown back. No spray of blood. No fire

    The scream that rang out was not a cry of pain—it was a scream of the soul. A wail from someone who had felt their entire body and consciousness shattered all at once. Every face turned pale. The young man's body was flung out from within the mist. His body was no longer whole. Burns and slashes covered nearly every inch of his skin. Flesh peeled away. Bones were visible in many places. His eyes had lost focus. His aura was broken. His body crashed to the ground and bounced once before lying still, barely breathing. With the last remnants of strength, he tried to speak. His voice was hoarse, barely audible, but strong enough to make everyone hold their breath. “Don’t go into the Gate of Death… It’s a purging fire. There are many demons inside…” His hand lifted, pointing toward the golden gate. He dragged his body in that direction, trying to rise. But before he could touch the glow of light, an invisible layer repelled his presence. THUMP! His body was thrown back. He hit the gr

    While the atmosphere was still thick with tension, without warning, the entire Starry Sky Heritage World trembled violently. It was as if the earth itself roared from its core. Thunderous rumbles echoed from all directions, striking the ears like thousands of bolts of lightning erupting at once. The once-still wind began to howl—not carrying coolness but tearing through the air with force, ripping the sky apart as it began to change color. The ground shook like a giant stirring beneath it. Massive cracks spread from the ends of valleys to the peaks of towering mountains, shattering the stability of what once seemed eternal terrain. The air turned hot, sharp like needles slicing into the lungs. Every breath carried pressure—not from a technique or someone's power, but from something greater. Something that felt like it came from the will of the heavens themselves. Clouds gathered into a dark vortex in the sky. The color wasn’t just stormy—it was the shade of death drifting slowly f

    The younger generation of the Starry Sky Realm stood frozen in place. No one dared to cheer, no one raised their voice—not even a gesture of victory was made. Though deep in their hearts, many harbored hatred toward Xiao Rui. Many had been oppressed, humiliated, or belittled by him. But they were not fools. They knew that even though Xiao Rui had been thoroughly defeated and humiliated before countless eyes, he was still a core member of the Xiao Clan. Behind that status lay power and influence that couldn’t be ignored. If anyone cheered, if anyone openly voiced support for Xiao Tian, it would be the same as trampling on the pride of the core Xiao Clan before the world. The consequences wouldn’t just be their own deaths—but the destruction of the powers backing them. Any family, sect, or faction that dared show sympathy toward Xiao Tian would be uprooted completely. Amid that restrained crowd, Xiao Lian stood motionless. Her breathing was still labored, but her internal wounds had

    Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Tian calmly. Her face carried neither anger nor pretense. Amidst a battlefield filled with fractured energy, the stench of death, and remnants of destruction, her voice sounded clear and sincere. “Xiao Tian, stop the fight. Xiao Rui is wounded and can’t continue. I won’t question why you use the name Xiao or why you carry the Xiao Clan’s bloodline. That’s not my place to interfere.” She took a slow breath, then continued, this time with a calmer tone filled with respect. “However, I must remind you—once you leave the Starry Sky Heritage World, many elders from the core Xiao Clan will seek you out, and they will investigate everything about you. Even so, I hope we are not enemies.” Her gaze was clear, hiding neither intent nor falsehood. Unlike many core clan disciples who only knew how to flaunt their name and bloodline, Xiao Yue radiated sincerity—a rare quality among those raised in power. Behind her eyes lay a will and principle forged through her own exp
