Chapter 460 - Whispers from Within
Nebulus managed to stay firmly on his feet, while Miralda was blasted back more than ten meters.Spurt!Blood surged up her throat, spilling past her lips in a thick crimson stream.“Damn it! Why can’t I defeat the Old Master yet?!”Her breaths came in ragged gasps as she glared at Nebulus. Her chest ached even worse than before, her blood circulation now utterly chaotic.The Phoenix Strike was a technique meant only for cultivators who had reached the pinnacle—level one hundred. Miralda, whose cultivation energy was only at level fifty, was lucky she hadn’t been fatally injured from the backlash.But there were limits. Judging from her condition, she had already reached hers. If she dared to use that power a third time, every vein in her body would burst apart.“Miralda, I strongly suggest you end this fight,” Nebulus said, his voice calm though part of his body still tingled with numbness from the earlier impact. “If you insist on gambling with that last attempt, I fear it will cost
Chapter 459 - An Ancient and Forbidden Technique
“What the hell…?! What kind of technique is this? Just how powerful is Miralda?”The masters widened their eyes, their faces twisted with unease and fear. They had already witnessed Miralda’s terrifying strength in her first strike. And now, the girl was unleashing something far more dreadful with her next move.Everyone finally understood—this was no longer some trivial spar. This was no less deadly than Varom’s previous duel.This was a battle of life and death.While most were still frozen in shock, Varom, standing not too far away at the edge of the courtyard, suddenly furrowed his brows. His eyes widened, as though he had realized something.“...The Phoenix Incantation?” he muttered, disbelief coloring his voice.“Then… my suspicions were right? Miralda’s already used this spell before?”Worry carved deep lines into the grandmaster’s face. Now he was certain—the technique that had nearly driven Miralda to unconsciousness weeks ago was none other than the temple’s most forbidden s
Chapter 458 - Phoenix Strike
Miralda’s dive toward Nebulus was as fast and sharp as an arrow loosed from its bow.All eyes were locked on her, unblinking, waiting to witness the might of her technique.Boom!The deafening blast was no less overwhelming than the earlier clash between Nebulus and Varom. The shockwave ripped outward, stirring a hot, forceful wind that made everyone shield their faces with their arms.“This power…” voices cried out in disbelief. “How can Miralda possess strength like this?”Aside from Varom, there were only four other senior masters whose cultivation had reached level fifty. Yet after witnessing Miralda’s display, none of them doubted she stood on equal ground with them.“This is terrifying…”It wasn’t just the low-level masters who were shaken. Flakor, a level-three master, and Prayag, who stood at level four, both widened their eyes in shock.“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” they shouted.Never before had they seen someone in their twenties climb to such heights. And ye
Chapter 457 - Miralda’s Turn
Varom’s body was blasted backward nearly ten meters. To stop himself from toppling over, he dug his heels into the courtyard floor, carving two deep grooves in the stone as he skidded to a halt.Spurt!He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, easing the pressure in his chest. There wasn’t any internal injury—but the pain was real.“You’ve grown pitiful, Varom. I didn’t expect this fight to end so quickly,” Nebulus sneered, his voice cold yet amused. “In truth, I’ve only used ten percent of my inner force.”“I’ve been out of practice. Next time, I won’t give you the chance,” Varom replied calmly. He clasped his hands together at his chest, gave a slight bow to Nebulus, and stepped back beyond the boundary line of the courtyard.As he walked toward Miralda, the grandmaster forced a thin smile. “Forgive me. It seems I’ve let you down.”Miralda shook her head. “On the contrary, you fought brilliantly, Grandmaster.”She knew Varom hadn’t fought with his full strength. If he had, th
Chapter 456 - Challenge Accepted
“If you can’t accept it, then try to stop me.”Nebulus spoke in a cold, detached tone, though in Miralda’s ears it sounded more like mockery.Anyone else would have brushed off those words, pretending the misty old man had never uttered them. No sane person would actually take that challenge seriously.But Miralda wasn’t like anyone else.“Really?”Her eyes narrowed.“Fine. I accept your challenge. If I defeat you, you’ll let those three men stay here. Deal?”Her voice rang with unwavering confidence, her expression fierce and resolute. That alone was enough to make everyone in the grand hall shake their heads in disbelief—caught somewhere between shock and confusion.“She’s insane! Miralda’s actually doing it! Who in their right mind answers the Old Master’s challenge like that?”Nebulus halted mid-step and turned back toward her.“Interesting. Of all the countless people I’ve met, you’re one of the very few who dares speak to me that way. Very well. I’ll grant your request—if you ca
Chapter 455 - Rising Tensions
Nebulus’s words sounded like a final verdict for Shambhu and the other two. Nothing could sway his decision.But then, after remaining silent all this time, Miralda finally spoke.“Old Master, forgive me. But if I may be honest, I can see that they’ve truly repented. I wish to plead with you to let them go.”Her voice rippled through the great hall, igniting a stir.“What? Did I hear that right? Miralda is asking for mercy on the very people who slandered her? That’s insane!”“Unbelievable! This is sheer foolishness!”Two hours earlier.“I’ll allow you to take those three men, but only for today,” Nebulus had stated coldly, laying down his terms to Miralda.“Whatever business you have with them, you must resolve it before nightfall. If you fail to return with them by then, I’ll come to claim them myself. And when that time comes… they will be my prisoners forever.”He narrowed his eyes. “Well? Do you agree?”When Miralda ventured into the forest to retrieve Shambhu and the others, man
