last update2025-09-08 16:12:08

The Blackwind Trio—the infamous Three Fiends of Blackwind—turned as one, their lips curling into cruel, mocking sneers.

“Boy, even when that little girl had two Martial Kings guarding her, they didn’t dare touch us. And you? You actually think you can provoke all three of us?” Their laughter cut through the mountain air, sharp as a blade. Each step they took was heavy, deliberate, radiating a suffocating aura of death that seemed to swallow the space around them.

Arwyn Caelith darted to Kaelen’s side, voice low and urgent. “These three… they’re not ordinary foes. You’re unguarded. Don’t clash with them head-on.”

To her, the white-robed youth looked no different from some unremarkable clan boy—no famous backing, no legendary lineage. Just arrogance too big for his strength. And Arwyn knew arrogance like that often ended in tragedy.

Kaelen’s gaze remained calm, almost amused. “These Blackwind Fiends… countless atrocities mark their path. Since they’ve chosen to cross me today, I’ll act

    Clang!Steel screamed through the frozen air. A sharp, piercing cry that made the snow tremble.Pfft!The Martial King guard—just moments ago sneering like he owned the world—froze mid-laugh. Pain tore through his throat. His eyes bulged in horror as his head lifted clean from his shoulders, spinning through the icy air before slamming onto the snow.Bang!The body toppled, spraying crimson across the white ground before finally lying still.“One sword… instant death?!”The second Martial King’s eyes shrank to pinpoints. He hadn’t even seen Kaelen move. One moment his comrade had been arrogantly boasting; the next, gone. Just like that.“This boy… this boy is a monster!”Panic surged. He grabbed the Third Young Master of the Venomspire Sect, dragging him toward the valley’s edge.The young master’s face was deathly pale. Eyes wide, haunted by that single, merciless strike. He had marched into this valley certain of his untouchable status. Now? One of his elite guards—feared across pro

  • Chapter 047: The Treasure of Ice and Poison

    The ground shook. A deep, hungry trembling that rattled through the roots of ancient trees.Through the forest thundered a massive figure. Black scales glinted like polished obsidian under the weak sunlight. Each step crushed roots, split stones, and sent centuries-old trees toppling like matchsticks. Its roar tore through the sky—raw, primal, unstoppable. Birds erupted in a flurry of wings, snow rattled from high branches, and dust swirled like a storm in its wake.The Black-Scaled Rhinoceros was running for its life.But behind it came Kaelen. Another predator, relentless.“You won’t escape me!” His laugh cut through the chaos. Not the kind of laugh that comes from amusement. Sharp, wild, dangerous. His boots smashed into the frozen earth with every stride. No wings, no fancy movement techniques—just raw, explosive speed that tore through the wilderness like a hurricane.The chase stretched for miles. Trees fell behind them. Hills rolled by like shadows. Until the wild expanse sudde

  • Chapter 046: Primordial Might Awakens

    Kaelen’s eyes flicked toward Princess Ardenya. Surprise. Admiration. Both danced across his gaze. He hadn’t expected the crimson-clad young woman to move so decisively, so ruthlessly precise. The moment she saw him strike down Arion Voidreaver, she acted—no hesitation. Each strike she delivered to the remaining heirs of the noble families was surgical. Cold. Efficient. There wasn’t a single misstep, no trace left behind that could betray their presence.“I never imagined Brother Kaelen had such strength,” Ardenya whispered, returning to him, voice low and awed. “Even Arion Voidreaver… one of the top ten outer sect disciples, a half-step Martial King—he couldn’t withstand a single strike.”Her eyes lingered on him. It was as if she were seeing him for the first time. The white-robed youth before her had concealed his true power with such subtlety, it was almost unreal. His cultivation, his skill… almost incomprehensible. She wondered briefly why he’d hidden it during the entrance asses

  • Chapter 045: The Fall of Proud Heaven

    Ardenya’s eyes flicked nervously across the courtyard. The tension coiled in her chest like a living thing, each heartbeat a tiny drum of warning. Her voice barely rose above a whisper. Even saying Lorian’s name out loud made her shiver, as if the sound itself carried some terrible weight. To speak ill of him was almost sacrilegious. Dangerous. Reckless.Kaelen noticed. A faint frown tugged at his brow. So it was true. Lorian wasn’t just strong. He was terrifying. His presence didn’t demand respect—it claimed it. And more than that, it planted a deep, gnawing fear in anyone who came near.Yet Kaelen remained calm. He held no anger toward Ardenya. Her caution was natural, even sensible. Still, beneath his composed exterior, a quiet fire sparked—a relentless, gnawing hunger he couldn’t ignore. Facing Lorian wasn’t something to take lightly. Not yet.Elder Myrian had whispered the Sword Sect’s most guarded secret: the Dragon Transformation Pool. Even someone like Myrian—Martial Emperor l

  • Chapter 044: Awakening of Divine Strength

    Kaelen stepped onto the trial grounds, calm and measured. Every motion deliberate, every step purposeful. His gaze swept across the arena before settling on the black-clad elder overseeing the Iron Puppet trial. He cupped his fists in respect and gave a slight bow.“Elder, we are ready. Please activate the Iron Puppet,” Kaelen said, his voice steady, unshaken despite the murmuring crowd.The elder’s eyes narrowed, sharp and calculating. “You’ve got some nerve,” he said, dismissive yet curious. A subtle wave of divine sense swept over Kaelen, probing his cultivation—a silent test of potential.Kaelen’s lips twitched faintly. Unfazed. He had inherited the supreme Creation Divine Art, a cultivation so refined even a Martial Emperor–realm elder could not gauge his true strength. To the elder, Kaelen’s power remained hidden, a flame veiled in mist.“Nothing remarkable,” the elder muttered inwardly. “A sixth-level Sky Martial Realm youth. Hardly worth noticing.”Then Kaelen moved.Instantly

  • Chapter 043: The Iron Puppet’s Wrath

    A flash of crimson caught Kaelen’s eye across the arena. A girl, barely sixteen or seventeen, stood poised with a slender scarlet sword strapped to her back. Every movement she made was fluid, precise—as if the strictest discipline had molded her. Her frame looked fragile, almost delicate, but those piercing eyes were anything but. Steel. Pure, unyielding steel. Pale, flawless skin stretched over high cheekbones, her face sculpted like carved jade. Beautiful, yes, but there was something else too—an aura of authority that seemed completely out of place in this ordinary world.Kaelen hesitated. “You are…?” His voice was careful. He was sure he’d never seen her before.“My name is Ardenya,” she said, calm and deliberate, each word carrying weight. “I sensed your aura. Solid. Steady. Not ordinary.” She gestured toward the sprawling testing grounds. “This trial requires pairs. We must face the Iron Puppet together. I want you as my partner.”Recognition flickered in Kaelen’s eyes. She mea
