Zora grabbed Kai’s arm and tugged, her voice sharp with concern and irritation. “We should at least try to save them—what if they’re actually dying?”

Kai didn’t budge. He stood there like a statue, staring ahead like he hadn’t heard her. Then, with the laziest sigh imaginable, he turned his head and looked at her like she had personally ruined his day.

“Why?” he asked dryly, eyes narrowing. “So I can risk my life for a bunch of people who ask me to go to hell ten minutes ago? Yeah, sounds like a fantastic plan.”

Zora glared. “Come on, Kai!”

He groaned like a man being dragged into an unpaid overtime shift. “Fine. But if I die, I’m haunting you first.”

Rolling his eyes, he let her pull him back toward the chaos. But the moment they turned the corner, Kai froze mid-step—Zora too.

The beast was awake now.

Fully.

It wasn’t just a monster—it was a damn nightmare wrapped in fur and muscle. Its body was massive, easily the size of a small house, its limbs heavy and corded with unnatural stre

  • 321: The Figure.

    The moment those words about the illusion sank in, tension spread through the entire crowd, no one knew who had created the illusion, no one knew when they walked into it, and worst of all, no one knew how deep inside it they already were. Every group shifted uneasily, hands tightening around their weapons, eyes darting around as if the very air might suddenly strike them dead. The silence wrapped around them heavily, everyone quietly calculating the same thing, that a single wrong step could finish them all. Some swallowed hard, some attempted to look brave, and some simply stood frozen, trying to understand how they were supposed to fight an unseen enemy when they didn’t even know where the real world ended and the illusion began.They didn’t get the chance to think further.Without warning, without sound, without even a flicker of transition, the world around them twisted. Colors smeared, shadows warped, the ground folded inward, and before anyone could gasp, they were standing ins

  • 320: The Illusion They Walked Into

    The moment the bright light faded, the massive stone tablet vanished as though it had never existed at all. No fragments or any dust. No lingering glow. It simply blinked out of existence, and in its place stretched a long, perfectly straight path leading deeper into the silent village.Everyone froze and a few gasped but most stared in disbelief.The path was uncanny, smooth and seemed untouched by dust or time. Even the surrounding air felt different, as if purified.Of course, instead of appreciating the miracle they were witnessing, some people decided to be… themselves.“Tch, she’s acting like she solved some heavenly mystery…”“Is she expecting us to clap? It was just a guess.”“Whatever. Pure heart my foot.”Abigail walked calmly beside Jian, not giving a single crumb of attention to the ungrateful muttering behind her. She had long learned that trying to correct stupidity only made it louder, so she simply tucked a stray hair behind her ear and kept walking.The large group mo

  • 319:The Riddle of the Looping Stone

    The six groups marched into the heart of the silent village, their boots thudding on cracked stone, alert for ambush but met by only empty echoes and wind. The ruins looked old, ghostly walls, shattered gates, weeds tangled everywhere. But before anyone could get too deep, they all stopped as one, eyes widening at the same thing.Right at the entrance, carved in stone taller than a wagon, were giant words, “To be Worthy of the Inheritance, you…”And that was it, nothing more. The words trailed off, the rest swallowed by time, leaving only a jagged crack where the sentence should have continued.The whole crowd froze. Someone at the back coughed, the silence stretching. Then, as if on cue, everyone ignored the mysterious stone and started forward, maybe there was a clue deeper inside, maybe the old thing was just for show.But up ahead, the path split into three, each fork leading into dense fog. The six groups spread out, each picking a different road, the air buzzing with anxious sho

  • 318: Meeting

    The town stretched out before them, empty streets and faded city. Abigail’s group and the others came to a halt at the edge of the square, boots crunching on gravel as they scanned the horizon. But the emptiness didn’t last long. All around the ruined plaza, figures began to emerge, other sects, other alliances, faces both new and all-too-familiar, each one sizing up the competition like hungry wolves.Five groups had beaten them here or arrived at almost the same time. In a blink, the dusty square was teeming with cultivators, close to a hundred bodies in all. The air turned thick with tension, as if one wrong step would ignite the whole place.No one said a word at first, everyone was just watching, calculating, measuring who had the numbers, who had the power, who’d make the first move.Suddenly, Selene’s face lit up and she waved, her silver hair catching the sunlight. “Over here!” she called. Rina and Luna followed, grinning as a knot of girls in the distance recognized them. Ten

  • 317: The Mad Dance of Four

    The men growled, furious, Qi flaring around them, the air between them trembled as Kai rolled his shoulders, his muscles tightening, bones cracking as he decided that play time's over. Then, without another word, they all moved.The first man appeared behind Kai with blinding speed, his movement technique leaving a faint blur of afterimages. His fist glowed with compressed Qi as he aimed for Kai’s spine. But Kai pivoted sharply, his right elbow flashing backward and bang! meeting the punch head-on. The impact cracked the air, dust spiraling around them.“Not bad,” Kai grinned, “but you should’ve stayed home.”He twisted, his knee snapping upward into the man’s ribs. The attacker gasped, stumbling back, blood spurting from his mouth but before Kai could follow through, another cultivator appeared at his flank, his palm glowing white.Kai ducked just as the Qi wave tore through the space above his head, slicing a clean arc through a massive rock behind him. “Alright,” Kai muttered, teet

  • 316: Clash

    Kai stood still, shoulders relaxed, the three men before him puffed up their chests like roosters before a fight, their robes fluttering dramatically in the dusty wind. They were the kind of cultivators who thought volume equaled intimidation.“Boy!” the first one barked, his voice booming like a cheap gong. “You don’t know who you’re messing with! We are core disciples of our sect. Step aside before you die a death so painful, your ancestors will feel it!”Kai’s eyebrow twitched.The second one stepped forward, stabbing a finger toward him. “That woman behind you stole from us, a treasure we risked our lives for! Return her and the beast, and maybe we’ll let you crawl away with your limbs attached!”The third snorted and spat to the side. “Look at him. He doesn’t even have a weapon out! Probably one of those brainless muscle types. Kill him, and we’ll take his beast!”Kai stared blankly at them, blinking slowly as they were still talking.“Oh, there’s more?” he muttered under his bre
