605: Ambushed
They were halfway back to the barrier when the air changed.It wasn’t loud or dramatic, but it tightened in a way that made every instinct sharpen at once, and before anyone could speak, figures stepped out from multiple directions, cutting off their path in a clean, practiced formation. The same old men who had stood aside earlier now stood in front of them, with their sect members spreading out behind like a net being pulled tight, their positions closing every angle of retreat without even pretending otherwise.Emily slowed.Abigail stopped completely.Trouble gave a low rumble.Allen’s steps paused a fraction behind them, his grip tightening slightly around the massive crystal, his body still aching from the earlier fight, but his eyes already calculating and watching.Abigail tilted her head, looking at the group in front of them like she was mildly entertained instead of threatened. “You blocked the road,” she said lightly, “so I’m guessing this isn’t a friendly walk-by.”One
604: Zora’s Kind of Training
Soon enough, after what felt like hours of steady fighting, everyone began to slow down and stop. The weaker disciples had already reached their limits and were seated at different spots, absorbing the crystals they had earned, while the stronger ones were also beginning to understand that this formation was not something they could treat carelessly. It gave opportunities, yes, but it also demanded strength in return, and if anyone was stupid enough to reach for more than they could handle, the beast that appeared would teach them that lesson with blood.Allen had spent most of the time moving around instead of properly challenging the formation himself. Since he was now the strongest person from his sect and had only just broken through to Dao Fusion, he naturally took the role of guardian, helping to keep the disciples in check, stopping those who got greedy, and pulling out anyone whose opponent had become too much for them. He had not explored the deeper part of the formation.
603: Order in the Chaos
Allen slowed his steps slightly as they approached the now-active formation, his eyes scanning the shifting space with clear confusion, because unlike the others, he hadn’t experienced this place before, and even though he could feel the dense, refined energy leaking out of the array, he couldn’t fully grasp what it meant yet. He turned his head slightly and called out, “Explain,” his tone calm but carrying authority, and the sect master immediately stepped closer, almost like he had been waiting for that question.“This place…” the sect master began, his voice unable to hide his excitement, “it’s not just any formation. It’s a controlled hunting ground, one that produces beasts and, more importantly, pure spiritual cores.” He gestured toward the empty-looking land ahead as he continued, “When activated, the array generates beasts based on the strength of the one inside, and when those beasts are killed, they drop cores that are far more refined than anything we can normally obtain
Chapter 602: The Formation
As they stepped out of the barrier, the shift in atmosphere was immediate and heavy, not because anything physically changed, but because the moment they crossed that invisible boundary, they stepped back into a space filled with tension, calculation, and watching eyes. The other ancestors who had remained outside hadn’t moved far from where they stood earlier, and the instant Abigail, Emily, Trouble, and Allen’s group appeared, their attention snapped fully toward them, their expressions tightening as they carefully observed every detail.At first, their focus landed on Abigail and Emily, the two women who had already proven themselves far beyond what their realms suggested, but then it shifted to Allen, and that was when the silence deepened. His aura had changed completely. It wasn’t subtle and it wasn’t something that needed careful sensing. It was obvious, clear, and undeniable.“so he's the one who broke through,” one of the old men said under his breath, his brows knitting to
601: The Shift in Loyalty
It didn’t take long.Allen had barely settled into meditation when the pill began to take effect, and unlike anything he had ever experienced before, it didn’t forcefully surge through his body or overwhelm him with violent energy. Instead, it worked quietly at first, like something unlocking from within rather than being added from the outside, and that alone made his expression change slightly as he realized this wasn’t a normal medicinal pill.His breathing steadied, his posture straightened, and slowly, his Qi began to circulate on its own, smoother than before, cleaner, almost as if the impurities he had been carrying all this time were being stripped away layer by layer. At first, he thought it was just an enhancement, something that would refine his existing strength, but then the feeling deepened, and the barrier that had held him at the peak of the Spirit Severing Realm for so long began to tremble.“this…” Allen muttered under his breath, his brows tightening slightly.He
600: Regret Comes Late
The atmosphere inside the barrier didn’t settle immediately, not fully or cleanly, because even though the danger was gone and the invaders had been erased like they never existed, what remained was heavier in a different way.It was like everyone was still catching up to what had just happened.The old men stood together, not as confident leaders anymore but as people who had just watched themselves almost make a fatal mistake, and it showed in the way they avoided each other’s eyes and in the way their shoulders weren’t as straight as before.One of them finally exhaled and muttered, “We should have acted earlier.”Another gave a dry laugh, though there was no humor in it. “Acted? Or interfered and died together with them?”“That’s not the point,” the first one snapped, but his voice lacked the force it used to carry, and even he knew it. The point wasn’t what they could have done, it was what they didn’t do, and now that everything had settled, the regret crept in slowly, sinking
