The name Master hung in the stale air of Madame Lin’s wretched apartment, a chilling promise of professional death. She was still weeping, clutching at her dress, body trembling, oblivious to the fact that her confession of betrayal had just handed me the single most critical piece of intelligence: the Li Family’s fear of the Shadow Heir was absolute, and their next move would be lethal, not financial.

I looked at her for a long moment, letting the weight of her fear settle over the room. Then

  • Chapter 118: Falling Star

    The sky wasn't blue anymore. It was a searing, friction-burnt orange that screamed against my retinas."System! Status report! Now!" I roared, but the only response was a sickening, hollow silence in the back of my skull.The golden light that usually cocooned my body—the manifestation of my Sovereign-level Qi—flickered like a dying lightbulb. Pop. Then darkness. A thick, acrid trail of white smoke began to pour off my limbs as the atmosphere started to cook me alive. I wasn't flying anymore. I was a terminal velocity rock."Lumia! Do you hear me? Redirect the essence to the kinetic dampeners!"Silence."Damn it!"The clouds rushed up like a solid wall of grey wool. I punched through them, the cold hitting me like a physical hammer. Below, the jagged, white-fanged peaks of the Kunlun Mountains rose up to swallow me. I didn't have the breath left to scream. I hit a snow-covered slope at three hundred miles per hour.The world didn't go black immediately. It went white. A cold, suffocat

  • Chapter 117: Meng’s Final Prescription

    The heat wasn't just burning my skin; it was boiling the Sovereign Qi in my veins. I hovered at the edge of the atmosphere, the Primal Needle gripped in a hand that was turning into a charred claw. Below me, the Earth was a marble wrapped in golden thread. Above me, the Sun was a screaming god, and the final ten percent of the rift was acting like a magnifying glass for its fury."Hao! The golden thread is melting! The energy from the Titan was powerful, but it can’t withstand the thermal output of a G-type star at this proximity! The suture is liquefying!" Lumia’s voice was distorted by the solar radiation."I can see it, Lumia!" I roared, squinting against the blinding glare. The golden stitches I had just laid across the final gap were turning into glowing droplets, dripping into the void. "I need a coolant! Give me something from the inventory! Anything!"[ERROR: NO NATURAL COOLANT DETECTED IN KNOWN MULTIVERSE CAPABLE OF STABILIZING SOURCE ENERGY AT THIS PROXIMITY.]"Then find som

  • Chapter 116: The Primal Suture

    The white light of the Titan’s detonation didn't just blind; it erased. But I wasn't ready to be erased. I tore through the final membrane of the Dimensional Gap like a bullet through parchment. I didn't just arrive in A-City; I exploded into it. The air around the clinic shattered as I materialized, my boots slamming into the roof with enough force to crack the concrete foundations."Hao!" Lin Yue’s voice was a ragged sob. She was trembling in her crystal form, her prismatic shield seconds away from total collapse."Get back, Lin Yue!" I roared. My hand was no longer holding a simple tool. I had forged the Primal Needle in the furnace of the void—a weapon made of pure, distilled source-intent.The Void Overseer loomed over us, its chest a pulsing sun of crimson death. It looked down at me, its eyeless face radiating a mockery of shock. "You... survived the Anatomist’s gaze? You crawled back from the void?""I’m the one who performs the check-ups here, you overgrown shadow," I hissed.

  • Chapter 115: The Siege of A-City

    The sky over A-City didn't just darken; it bruised. The violet rifts that had been leaking Source Energy suddenly coagulated into a singular, pulsing eye of obsidian storm. I felt the connection to Jiang Mei snap like a dry bone, and the feedback sent me reeling across the Dimensional Gap."Hao! The entity has manifested in the primary reality!" Lumia’s voice was screaming through the static of my soul. "It's not just a hand anymore! It’s a Void Overseer—a Titan class harvester! It's coming for the Anchor!"I forced my eyes open, my vision shimmering between the void and the clinic. "Luo Bing! Lin Yue! Do you hear me? Get her back!"In the clinic, the atmosphere had turned into liquid lead. The ceiling had vanished, replaced by the towering, faceless visage of a creature made of compressed starlight and ancient hunger. The Void Overseer. It stood three hundred feet tall, its feet crushing the skyscrapers surrounding the GMC district as if they were made of dry graham crackers. Its mas

  • Chapter 114: The Blood Anchor

    The Dimensional Gap was no longer just a wound; it was an active slaughterhouse, and I was the primary carcass. I stood in the center of the collapsing Mirror Reality, the shards of the Dark Jiang Hao still glittering on the ground like shattered obsidian. The Great Anatomist was coming. I could feel his gaze—a cold, clinical pressure that made my soul feel like it was being pinned to a corkboard."Lumia! I can't hold the rift from this side anymore!" I roared, the silver thread of the Universal Life-Suture vibrating so hard it was cutting into my palms. "The Great Anatomist is using the spatial tension to pull the entire sector into his domain. I need a physical anchor. I need something rooted in the primary reality to pull against!""Hao, the only thing strong enough to anchor a Sovereign-level rift is a blood-match!" Lumia’s voice was a jagged shard of static in my mind. "You need a biological bridge. You need Jiang Mei!""No! The strain will kill her!" I slammed my fist against a

  • Chapter 113: The Trial of the Mirror

    The Dimensional Gap didn't just swallow me; it digested me. As I dove into the first jagged rift, the screaming of the fourteen thousand Calamity Beasts was cut off by a silence so absolute it made my ears ring with the sound of my own frantic heartbeat. The iridescent Source Energy didn't just coat my skin—it pulled me through a membrane of frozen light and shattered regret.I slammed onto a floor that felt like polished obsidian. I stood up, coughing out a mouthful of that black, oily virus-sludge, my hand still white-knuckled around the Universal Life-Suture. I wasn't in the gap anymore. I was in a hospital corridor, but the walls were made of dark, reflective glass and the lights hummed with a sickly, violet frequency that vibrated in my marrow."System! Location report!" I barked, wiping the black bile from my chin.[WARNING: COORDINATES UNDEFINED.][SPATIAL FREQUENCY: MIRROR REALITY.][BIOMETRIC MATCH DETECTED: 99.9% ACCURACY.]"Welcome home, Jiang Hao," a voice echoed. It was m
