Chapter 730: The Price of Passing
An evil smile appeared on Kai’s face.He looked Abigail up and down with absolutely no attempt to hide what was going through his mind, then slowly rubbed his chin as though he had just been presented with a very serious problem worth considering.“You know,” he said, drawing the words out, “it would actually be very nice for me to do that.”Abigail narrowed her eyes and Kai’s smile widened.“After all, you have such a nice body. It would honestly be irresponsible of me not to appreciate it properly.”The silence lasted for exactly one second then Abigail’s sword appeared in her hand.Kai’s smile disappeared.“Wait.”The blade left its sheath with a cold sound and Kai immediately jumped backward.“Abigail, think carefully. Violence is never the solution.”“You were very confident two seconds ago.”“I was speaking from the heart.”“That is exactly why I’m going to cut you.”Kai turned and ran but Abigail chased him.The peaceful area around them instantly became a mess as Kai dashed be
Chapter 729: We’ll Meet at the Top
On the other side, Abigail stood before Xander, practicing her sword techniques again and again.The space around them was quiet except for the sound of her blade cutting through the air. She had been repeating the same set of movements for what felt like hours, and each time she finished, Xander pointed out something new. Sometimes her wrist was slightly too stiff. Sometimes she released her sword intent a moment too early. Other times, her movement was technically perfect, but according to him, she was still thinking too much before striking.“Again,” Xander said.Abigail said nothing.She turned her sword, stepped forward, and attacked.The first slash was simple, but the moment it moved, the air around the blade seemed to become colder. Her second attack followed without breaking rhythm, then the third, each one flowing naturally into the next. Unlike before, she did not force her cold sword intent outward. She allowed it to move with the sword itself, gathering only where the bla

WritingChapter 728: A Fate Beyond WorldsHearing that, Kai froze.For a moment, he could not understand what the figure was saying. He had expected the inheritance test to reward them with a technique, perhaps a new realm of cultivation or some ancient treasure hidden inside the tower. Instead, the man spoke as though everything Kai and Abigail had achieved until now was only preparation for something much larger."The realm?" Kai asked "Yeah, in summary, the universe."“The universe?” Kai repeated.The figure smiled calmly. “Yes.”Kai stared at him, waiting for further explanation, but none came. The figure stood before him with the same relaxed expression, as though telling someone they were expected to unify the universe was an ordinary matter.Kai rubbed his forehead. “We just finished unifying one world.”“And you did well.”“One world,” Kai repeated. “Do you understand how much trouble that caused? Sect masters, emperors, hidden ancestors, entire continents joining together t

Chapter 727: Knowing When to RunThe figure looked at Kai for a long moment before finally speaking.“You are worthy to inherit everything I left behind.”Kai blinked.He had been expecting another trick, another impossible condition, or perhaps an attack from the second version of himself standing nearby. The figure had split a portion of his blood and created another Kai, then asked him to fight it. Everything about the situation had suggested that the final test would be brutal.Yet now, the man seated on the throne was simply telling him that he had passed.Kai studied his face carefully. “You’re not going to think about it?”The figure laughed.His laughter echoed through the empty hall, but there was no mockery in it. Instead, he looked genuinely pleased by Kai’s suspicion.“Think about what?”“Whether I deserve it,” Kai replied. “You brought me here, created another version of me, and asked me to fight him. I refused before the fight even began. Most people would call that cowa

Chapter 726: The Challenge He RefusedRealizing the problem, Kai fell silent.He stood in the middle of the wide hall, staring at the figure seated on the throne. The man had not moved since presenting the challenge, yet the pressure coming from him filled every corner of the place. It was not wild or threatening. It was simply there, calm and absolute, reminding Kai that the being before him was far beyond the opponents he had faced outside.The throne itself rested at the top of several dark stone steps. Strange symbols covered the walls behind it, some shaped like fists, others like bones and flowing blood. They gave off an ancient feeling, one that made Kai’s bloodline respond faintly even though most of his power remained restricted within the trial.A moment earlier, the figure had challenged him to fight.Under normal circumstances, Kai would have agreed without thinking too much. He had rarely rejected a proper battle, especially when the opponent appeared powerful enough to t

Chapter 725: His Bloodline Given FormBack with Kai and Abigail, Kai seemed to have passed all his tests.He could not say how long he had been trapped inside the different illusions. It might have been hours, days, or even years. Time had stopped making sense after the first few scenes. He had been forced to face his weakness, grief, anger, bias, and the possibility of betrayal until he finally understood what the inheritance was trying to expose.But there was still one last thing remaining.Currently, Kai stood before a figure seated on a throne inside a magnificent hall.The place was large enough to make him feel small even though there was no one else inside it. Tall pillars lined both sides of the hall, disappearing into a dark ceiling that seemed much farther away than it should have been. Ancient markings covered the floor beneath Kai’s feet, but he could not understand any of them. They were not ordinary formation runes, nor did they belong to any language he had encountered
