The moment Kai’s Heavenly Eye opened, the atmosphere collapsed. The power that burst from his gaze was ancient—no aura, no movement, just raw dominance. Time didn’t stop, but everything else bowed.

King staggered. His body, already worn from the battle, convulsed slightly under the sheer pressure flooding the room. He gritted his teeth and attempted to lunge, but Kai was already gone from his sight.

He appeared behind him.

One sharp blow to the neck.

King coughed out blood.

Before he could reco

    Zora then added, “Anything you obtain here will leave with you when the time comes.”Kai, who had already been standing there with the face of a man trying not to offend the only person who could increase his sentence by another few centuries, suddenly lifted his head. His eyes sharpened instantly.“Anything?” he asked.Zora looked at him.Kai cleared his throat and immediately adjusted his expression into something more respectful. “I am only asking for academic understanding.”Abigail gave him a side glance. “You mean treasure understanding.”“Resources are part of academics.”“No, they’re not.”“They are when I’m studying how to survive.”Zora ignored their little exchange and continued, “Anything you earn here, anything you take, anything you forge, refine, tame, steal from enemies who deserve it, or obtain through opportunity will remain with you after you leave. This world is not an illusion in the simple sense. It is a constructed cultivation domain tied to the time array. The

    Soon enough, they arrived at another place.The first thing Kai noticed was the Qi.It was abundant, heavy and alive.It pressed against the skin like warm water, slipping into the pores naturally without needing to be pulled too hard, and the quality of it was not much different from the place they had just left. In fact, if he closed his eyes and ignored the absence of frozen wind, the environment still carried that same oppressive richness of a higher cultivation land, the kind of Qi that made Earth feel like a starving field beside a spiritual ocean.The only difference was that there was no ice or strange terrifying pressure sleeping somewhere deep in the white wilderness.Instead, they stood in what looked like an ordinary but vast cultivation land. Tall mountains rose in the distance, green valleys stretched between them, rivers flowed with faint spiritual mist, and ancient trees covered the land like a living sea. The sky above was clear but strangely deep, almost too perfect

    Just as Kai expected, the people chasing them didn’t dare go deeper into the cold forest.At first, the group behind them still rushed forward with killing intent thick enough to stain the wind. Their auras pushed through the blizzard like angry flames refusing to die, and their voices occasionally echoed through the trees, threatening slaughter, vengeance, sect punishment, and all those serious things cultivators loved shouting when they were too far away to actually hit anyone. But the deeper Kai and Abigail rode into the frozen forest on the thunder bird’s back, the slower those people became. Their speed dropped, formation tightened and their anger remained, but their courage began to thin under the strange pressure hidden within the forest.Kai glanced back once and smiled.“They stopped pushing.”Abigail turned slightly, her eyes narrowing as she sensed the distant pursuers. They were still there, but the gap between them was no longer shrinking. In fact, some of them had alre

    Abigail froze, not quite believing her ears.For a moment, the powerful wind around them seemed to quiet in her mind. The thunder bird was still cutting through the sky at frightening speed, its massive wings tearing through the clouds while the three hatchlings remained tucked safely into the nest behind them, yet all Abigail could focus on was what Kai had just said.They were being followed.She slowly turned her head toward him. “What did you say?”Kai leaned against the bird’s neck with that relaxed expression that always made serious situations feel even more ridiculous. “I said we’re being followed.”Abigail stared at him, then looked back toward the sky behind them. At first, she saw nothing but clouds, distant mountain lines, and the faint spiritual mist that drifted naturally through this world. There were no obvious figures, flying swords or beasts. Nothing that looked like immediate pursuit. But she knew Kai well enough by now to understand that when he said something lik

  • Chapter 665: Clean Up Time

    Kai dusted his hands lightly after killing the Protector, as if he had only finished removing dirt from a table instead of ending the strongest cultivator in the city with one punch.The entire execution square remained frozen in silence.Nobody moved or spoke.Even the wind seemed to have become careful.The Protector’s corpse lay broken on the cracked platform while the City Lord sat stiffly in his high seat, face drained of blood, lips trembling so badly that he looked nothing like the arrogant ruler who had been roaring a few moments ago. His grand purple robe, the golden pillars, the crimson banners, the guards, the execution platform, all of it suddenly looked like stage decoration around a man who had only borrowed power and mistaken it for his own.Kai slowly turned his gaze toward him and the City Lord flinched.Kai smiled.It was not a kind smile but a calm, almost lazy, but anyone with a brain could feel the danger beneath it.He raised one hand and pointed directly at the

    Just as expected, a man walked out.He emerged from the tallest tower behind the City Lord’s viewing platform, dressed in long black robes with silver patterns running along the sleeves. His hair was tied neatly behind him, his hands rested behind his back, and his chin was raised in that calm, irritating way weak men used when they had spent too long being worshipped by people weaker than them. The moment he appeared, his aura rolled across the square, making many of the citizens gasp and step back, while the guards instantly looked relieved as if heaven itself had answered them.The City Lord’s eyes lit up with desperate hope. “Protector!”The man ignored him at first and only stared at Kai with cold arrogance. “You are the one disturbing the order of this city?”Kai studied him for one breath then chuckled.“So this is the weak-ass man you wanted to use to kill me?”The whole square froze.Even Abigail, still standing among the crowd, slowly lowered her eyes like she had expected
