Chapter 680: The Sky Had Owners
The tower was very far.Far enough that even with the thunder bird moving at frightening speed, tearing through layers of clouds with lightning curling around its wings, the distant structure still looked like a thin shadow hanging between heaven and earth. Sometimes it appeared closer when the clouds opened, then farther again when spiritual mist swallowed the horizon, as if the tower itself was deliberately mocking anyone foolish enough to approach it directly.Kai stared at it for a long time then he sighed.A deep, heartfelt sigh.The kind of sigh a man gave when he had survived more than a thousand years of death training only to realize that traveling was still annoying.“This is unreasonable,” he said.Abigail sat behind him on the mother thunder bird’s back, her posture steady despite the violent wind around them. The three younger thunder birds circled around playfully, sometimes shrinking and landing on Kai’s shoulders or Abigail’s arms, sometimes expanding again and flying
Chapter 679: To The Sky
Seeing them properly, the thunder bird immediately became excited.Its massive head lowered and nudged Kai first, nearly knocking him off balance despite how powerful he had become. The giant beast let out a deep cry that echoed across the mountains, and for the first time in a while, Kai found himself smiling without any hidden calculation behind it.The bird genuinely seemed happy.After all, while only two years had passed in the outside world, Kai and Abigail had lived through more than a thousand years inside Zora's training realm. To them, the last time they had seen the thunder bird felt unimaginably distant.The bird rubbed its head against Kai again and Kai laughed."Alright, alright. You're acting like I abandoned you."The thunder bird chirped.One of the younger birds shrunk in size and immediately jumped onto Kai's shoulder.Another landed on Abigail's head.The third boldly climbed onto Kai's arm and started pecking at his sleeve.Kai stared at the little criminal.The l
Chapter 678: The Old Mount Returns
Abigail watched Kai then at the point where Zora disappeared and thought Nothing about that woman had changed.She appeared when she wanted, disappeared when she wanted, dropped impossible missions like casual greetings, and somehow expected them to treat realm unification like a normal travel plan. Eight years with powerful people to challenge, unknown enemies waiting somewhere above the clouds. And knowing Zora, the moment they completed this part, she would not even let them breathe properly before dragging them into the next ridiculous stage of her plan.Kai let out a long breath and rubbed the back of his neck after thinking for a long time“That woman really knows how to hand out work without providing salary.”Abigail shook her head, but she didn’t argue further with Kai. After all those years inside Zora’s time world, she had learned something important about Kai. His mouth complained because his mind was already moving. He joked because he was calculating and beneath that
Chapter 677: Time To Unify Realms
Zora smirked immediately she saw them properly.It wasn’t the soft kind of smirk either. It was the kind that made Kai’s instincts tighten, because after thousands of years inside her terrifying time domain, he had learned one simple truth with absolute certainty. Whenever Zora looked pleased, someone else was about to suffer. Usually him. Sometimes Abigail too. Occasionally it was HIMShe looked them over slowly, from Kai’s quiet silver-blood pressure to Abigail’s almost invisible sword intent, and for a moment, the air between them carried a strange silence. Kai and Abigail had changed so much that anyone else from their earlier days might not have recognized them at first glance. Their faces were still the same, their bodies still young, but their eyes were not. Their eyes carried years, too many years. Deaths stacked upon deaths. Battles that lasted decades. Cities crushed, beasts fought, formations broken, realms crossed inside an artificial world that refused to let them rest. T
676: Two Years Outside
Two years later in the outside world.The time Zora had set for Abigail and Kai inside the time-accelerating world was now complete.Of course, saying two years made it sound simple. Clean, and easy to understand but inside that realm, two years outside had stretched into a number of years so terrifying that even thinking about it too carefully felt exhausting. Kai and Abigail had lived through centuries upon centuries of battle, cultivation, death, recovery, wandering, learning, failure, breakthrough, humiliation, and victory. They had died so many times that neither of them knew the number anymore. At first, they had counted. Then they stopped. Then they forgot why they ever bothered counting in the first place.There were deaths by beasts, cultivators, formations, storms, poison, strange heavenly phenomena, old monsters who looked harmless, children who were not children, cities that turned out to be living formations, rivers with minds, deaths by mountains with mouths, techniques
Chapter 675: Dying Was Becoming A Habit
Then they woke up again, sat in silence and Kai stared ahead, Abigail did the same too and after a long moment, Kai said, “I don’t like valleys.”Abigail replied, “Noted.”They cultivated again.This time, Kai added lightning pressure and crushing weight into his training ground. Abigail added collapsing terrain and unstable footing into hers. They trained until their bodies and instincts could at least respond better to sudden environmental death, then they left again.The next death came from something even more ridiculous.They avoided valleys and the beast forest.They chose a calm river path instead, moving carefully along the bank while watching for beasts, formations, guards, and natural disasters. The river looked harmless, flowing quietly with clear water and faint spiritual mist. Kai even crouched once to examine it.“Looks safe,” Abigail said.Kai frowned. “That’s suspicious.”“You say everything is suspicious.”“And I keep being right.”A moment later, the river opened it
