Kai glanced at the figure that had suddenly stepped in front of him, and without hesitation, he moved past him like he wasn’t even there. His grip tightened on his halberd as his focus returned to the two enemies ahead. To him, this man was still a stranger, someone who had just tried to deceive him minutes ago, so there was no reason to suddenly trust him now.

Trust in battle wasn’t something Kai gave easily and this… this was not the time to gamble blindly.

But before Kai could take another s

  • 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

  • Chapter 599: The Aftermath of Power

    Zora didn’t rush anything after that. She turned her attention slowly, almost lazily, and her gaze landed on the group of old men who had earlier stood aside, watching everything unfold like spectators at a show they thought they could control.And the moment her eyes settled on them, the air around them tightened even though she didn’t release any pressure. Her lips curved just a little as she spoke, “Nice plan,” and that simple sentence carried more weight than any threat because it wasn’t praise, it was acknowledgment, and they all knew it. Their spirits trembled instantly, not visibly enough to embarrass them, but deep inside where it mattered, because they understood she had seen through everything,.She'd seen the hesitation, arrogance and the silent expectation that Kai would fall and they would benefit from it. No one replied, not even a nod, because saying anything felt dangerous, and even breathing too loudly felt like a risk in front of her.Then her gaze shifted, smoo

  • 598: What Comes After Fear

    The four men didn’t move and it was not because they didn’t want to but because they couldn’t.If they were giving just even a speck of opportunity, they'll bolt away from here faster than lightening!Cause right now amd, for the first time since they stepped out of that portal, since they laughed, mocked, and cut through everything in their path like it meant nothing, their confidence was gone completely, stripped away so cleanly that what remained underneath was raw, unfiltered instinct.Fear.Their throats tightened as Zora walked toward them, her steps slow, unhurried, almost casual, but to them, every step felt heavier than the last, like something invisible was pressing down on their souls, forcing them to understand a truth they didn’t want to accept.“Wh... what... what is she…” one of them thought, his eyes trembling slightly as he tried to look away but couldn’t.Their instincts did not only whispered but screamed loyal warned about the danger that was slowly approaching the

  • 597: The One You Don’t Interrupt

    No matter how much they tried to move, the four men simply couldn’t.At first, it felt like resistance, like their bodies were just a little slower than usual, like the air had thickened around them and was pushing back against every movement they made, but within the span of a single breath, that feeling escalated into something far more terrifying. Their limbs locked completely, their muscles refusing to obey, their Qi collapsing every time they tried to circulate it, and it didn’t matter how much force they used or how violently they pushed, nothing responded. It was as if something invisible had taken hold of their entire existence and frozen it in place.One of them gritted his teeth, veins bulging at his neck as he forced his arm to move, but it didn’t budge, not even slightly, and the more he tried, the worse it felt, like his strength was being swallowed the moment it surfaced. Another tried to release his aura outward, hoping to break whatever was binding him, but the energ
