Fight with everything you’ve got — or die trying.

That thought beat through the Ninth Arena like a drum. It tightened throats and sharpened stares until everyone felt it in their bones.

Kaelen stepped onto the arena stone with the kind of calm that hides a storm. His feet sounded ordinary, but every eye seemed to ricochet off him. The platform hummed beneath his boots, charged with the gathered spirit power of a thousand onlookers. He kept his shoulders loose, breathed even, but inside him a river of tension ran swift and cold. This wasn’t just another match. This sort of fight carved names into the sect’s history.

The elder presiding over the Ninth felt impossible to ignore. She drifted to the judges’ dais like a comet — robes trailing, hair a dark frame around a face both beautiful and merciless. Whispers rose like wind. Elder Helara, they called her. Rumors had already crowned her: the only female Inner Sect elder, pretty enough to stop hearts and sharp enough to break them.

  • Chapter 157: Cooperation

    Kaelen Viremont didn’t answer right away.The dark-gold demon loomed in front of him, huge and unmoving, its body half-buried in ancient sealing runes. Faded golden light crawled across its thick scales, pulsing weakly, like a heart that refused to completely stop beating. The air around it felt wrong—heavy, crushing, pressing down on Kaelen’s chest until even breathing took effort.This thing was dangerous. Ancient. Older than anything Kaelen had come across since stepping into this ruin.And now it was talking about cooperation.That alone was unsettling.Kaelen’s eyes narrowed just a little. His face stayed calm, but inside, every instinct was screaming at him to be careful. Deals with demons—especially ones this old—were never clean. There was always a price. Usually one you notice too late.After a short pause, he finally spoke.“The common enemy you mentioned,” Kaelen said evenly, “who are you talking about?”The demon’s lips slowly pulled back, exposing jagged, uneven teeth. Th

  • Chapter 156: Spring of Life

    Buzz.A strange vibration rippled through the air.At that exact moment, a deep black glow bloomed within Kaelen Viremont’s pupils, spreading like ink dropped into clear water. His vision shifted instantly. The world around him no longer looked the same.Layers of falsehood peeled away.Illusions collapsed.Hidden structures revealed themselves as if they had been laid bare by an unseen hand.“So it really is a formation,” Kaelen murmured.What had once seemed like endless darkness was now filled with countless intersecting lines of power. They crisscrossed the sky and earth, weaving together into an ancient and terrifying array. Every strand pulsed faintly, alive with suppressive force.And more importantly, Kaelen could see where it was weakest.Boom.Lightning crackled violently as Kaelen gripped the rusted sword in his hand. The blade hummed as if awakened from a long slumber, arcs of blue lightning dancing along its surface.Without hesitation, he stepped forward and slashed at a

  • Chapter 155: Creation Divine Eye

    “What was that?”The Flame Woman’s sharp cry sliced through the air, making everyone jump. Heads snapped around almost at the same time, following her stare toward the distant horizon.What they saw made their stomachs drop.At the edge of the world, darkness was pouring in—layer after layer—like a massive black tide rushing forward. Thick clouds crushed the sky from above while shadows crept across the land below, devouring everything in their path. In the span of a few heartbeats, the blazing sun vanished, erased as if it had never been there to begin with.The world dimmed.The air turned cold.Then came the silence. Heavy. Smothering.“The boundless darkness… it’s finally here.”The words slipped out of a Shadowfang Sect disciple’s mouth, barely audible, but packed with fear. The kind you couldn’t fake.Several people swallowed hard. Almost all of them remembered the same thing at once.That voice.The one that had echoed through the ruins earlier. Vast and emotionless. Cold in a

  • Chapter 154: Tremor

    Kaelen stepped cautiously out of the ruined pavilion. The chill of the ancient stones seeped through his boots, biting at his feet. The Flame Woman was already there, standing tall amidst the wreckage. Her eyes, sharp and luminous, scanned the shattered palace like a hawk hunting secrets hidden in the rubble. The faint glow of lingering magical residue clung stubbornly to the walls, reflected in her gaze. There was curiosity there—and a hint of wariness, as though she knew the ruins could bite back.“Did you find anything?” she asked. Her voice was soft, but urgent, like a note of alarm tucked inside a lullaby. Her gaze never left him, as if his answer could rewrite everything that was happening.“You could say I found a little,” Kaelen replied, calm on the surface, almost casual. But the faint flicker in his eyes betrayed unease. He had felt it even before stepping out—a barely-there shift in the air, a pulse of latent energy whispering of things best left untouched.Then—Boom!The s

  • Chapter 153: A Majestic Voice

    “Let’s go.”The words were simple, spoken without urgency, yet they carried an unquestionable authority.Talan’s presence stirred within Kaelen Viremont’s mind, and in the next instant, the faint shadow of his form dissolved into a streak of condensed black light. It pierced straight into the center of Kaelen’s brow, vanishing into his glabella as though it had never existed at all.Kaelen remained standing where he was.He did not immediately follow the others out of the ruined pavilion, nor did he rush to reunite with the crowd beyond the shattered stone pillars. Instead, his gaze slowly swept across the desolate structure around him.The pavilion was ancient beyond measure.Its once magnificent roof had collapsed long ago, leaving only broken beams and fragments of carved stone scattered across the ground. Moss crept along the cracked walls, and time had erased nearly all traces of its former splendor. Yet despite the decay, a faint pressure lingered in the air, as though something

  • Chapter 152: Divine Shrine

    Kaelen’s eyes went wide.The sensation of leaving his body—of his soul stepping free—was beyond anything a normal cultivator could imagine. It was like waking up inside a dream that stretched to the edges of the universe. Every fiber of him buzzed with awareness. Fresh. Strange. Wondrous. And yet, even in the midst of that shock, Kaelen stayed sharp.Hovering above his own body, in that intangible, illusory form, he trained his gaze on the source of the pure yang energy. What he saw made him pause.Floating in the distance was a mass of power that could rival the sun itself. Golden light radiated outward in waves, twisting and flickering like a living fire. Pure yang energy surged through it, thick and tangible, almost breathing. It wasn’t just light—it was presence, demanding attention, daring anyone to approach.“So dense… such intense pure yang,” he muttered under his breath. “My mortal eyes can’t even penetrate it… but my soul… my soul sees everything.” He focused, every subtle ri
