2025-03-14 16:38:54The helicopter flew into the most top-tier villa district in the country.
On this lofty mountain stand twenty luxurious villas in a scattered pattern. The higher the location of the villa, the more exalted and unfathomable the owner's status. There are even rumors that the owner of the No.1 villa at the mountaintop is Blackwood Family, the most powerful family in the world! And Kai? The helicopter soared over the entire mountain and brought him to the No.1 villa. He was utterly astounded! The scene before his eyes was something he'd only seen in movies! A sprawling estate stretching as far as the eye could see, with fountains, sculptures, a swimming pool, and rows of sharply dressed men standing at attention. Was he about to shoot the next 007 sequel? Then a middle-aged man emerged, pushing a wheelchair forward. In one synchronized motion, the men in black bowed, and shouted. "Hello, Master.” The old man in the wheelchair raised his hand in a gesture, his gaze lingering on Kai, enigmatic and inscrutable. "I'm Atlas Blackwood, founder of Orion Global" He paused, as if weighing how to frame his next words. "And your grandfather." Kai was struck dumb. For a fleeting second, he thought his ears had deceived him. How could Atlas Blackwood, that most formidable figure, assert that he, a mere nobody, was his grandson? That is crazy! The Blackwood Family owns the world! Their business empire spans nearly 80% of the countries on Earth! Even in the most remote island nations, people have heard of the might of Orion Group and used their products！ “This has to be a mistake”, Kai’s voice lowered, “I’ve always been just Kai, not Mr. Blackwood.” "Give it to him", Atlas Blackwood ordered. A man in a sharp suit stepped forward respectfully and handed him an envelope with both hands. “Sir, this is the test result.” And the Paternity Test Result: 99.99% Match. Atlas Blackwood was his grandfather! After his mother died, after his girlfriend dumped him—now he suddenly had a goddamn billionaire grandfather! Was this a dream? Some end-level reward from a twisted game? Kai was stunned, mind blown, unable to believe a damn thing. “Kai, I owe you an apology.” Atlas continued. “You and your mother suffered because of my mistakes. I failed to protect you two. I failed your mother” Kai stiffened. He never imagined that the life he had lived was nothing but a nightmare—a nightmare caused by someone's negligence. And that someone else turned out to be his grandfather, his only remaining kin. Kai felt his stomach twist. “Why now?” Kai's voice came out hollow. “Because we finally found you.” Atlas said. And he suddenly exhaled “I must apologize too, for all you’ve been through. As your grandfather, I’ll do anything to make it up to you.” The entire room fell silent. “That is why I’ve made a decision.” His gaze locked onto Kai’s. “From today onward, all my enterprises and properties in Dominus City will be transferred under your name.” A murmur rippled through the gathered elites. Kai’s mind reeled. He had gone from a man struggling for survival to inheriting a fortune that could shift the tides of an entire economy. A fortune beyond his imagination. And this was just the start? “Three days later, there will be a promotion dinner held in your honor . You will be officially introduced to the world.” Atlas continued. After saying that, he waved his hand. A man stepped forward. A well known man. Thane Jackson. One of Atlas’s most trusted subordinates. Thane extended a sleek black card to him with both hands. “This is an unlimited black credit card.” Atlas continued, “It has no spending limit and holds a deposit beyond calculation. But more than that...it allows you access to any high-end establishment in the world, unrestricted.” Kai took the card and let out a bitter laugh. "Already worth more than my pathetic old life." His entire life, he had struggled to afford basic survival. Now, in his hand, he held more power than most men could ever dream of. “There’s something else,” Atlas added. “Our family possesses a special inheritance-Spiritual power.” “It is rare...ancient. And only those of our bloodline can possess it.” "Awakening spiritual power grants endless energy, but," Atlas paused, his voice sharp, "if uncontrolled, it can tear you apart." Kai’s heart skipped a beat. His mind raced. The power he had felt earlier. That suddenly emerging power. Those rapidly healing wounds. Was this what they meant? Atlas nodded, as if reading his thoughts. “That’s how we found you, Kai. Your power surfaced...and I could feel it.” Kai’s pulse pounded in his ears. Atlas exhaled. “But to control it, you need a special heirloom. A piece that has been passed down through generations.” "Priceless, just one shard of its diamond is worth more than ten entire cities like Dominus City." His eyes locked onto Kai’s. “Where is it?” Kai froze, suddenly remembering the necklace. The one his mother had left him, the one he wanted to give to Astrid. He held his breath—it was still at Astrid's house!

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
Chapter 674: Bad Weather
Kai and Abigail woke up again.This time, neither of them gasped violently like before.They simply opened their eyes, stared at the familiar sky of the array world, and remained lying there for a few quiet breaths, both of them looking so tired that even anger felt like too much work. The same rich Qi flowed around them, the same peaceful wind brushed against the grass, and the same mountains stood in the distance as if the world had not just killed them immediately after their first real victory.Kai slowly lifted one hand and covered his face.Abigail sat up beside him, silent.For a while, neither spoke.What was there to say?It had taken them ten years to kill one beast.Ten full years.Ten years of being torn apart, crushed, pierced, bitten, slapped into cliffs, trampled into the ground, and dragged through the forest like training dolls thrown into a grinder. Ten years of learning one creature’s rhythm until its every breath, every twitch of muscle, every shift of claws had be
Chapter 673: Ten Years For One Beast
Ten years later.The loud sound of a beast falling echoed throughout the whole forest.It was not a simple sound. It was the kind of fall that made the earth tremble, the kind that sent birds scattering from ancient trees and forced weaker creatures hidden in burrows to curl tighter in fear. The massive beast crashed through three towering trunks before its body finally slammed into the ground, carving a long trench through mud, stone, and roots. Dust rose. Leaves rained down. The thick spiritual mist hanging over the forest shook violently from the impact, and for a few breaths, everything went still.Kai stood several meters away from the fallen beast, breathing heavily.His clothes were torn in too many places to count, blood streaked the side of his face, and one of his arms hung slightly lower than the other, clearly dislocated or half-broken, but he remained standing. His silver blood pulsed beneath his skin, rapidly closing the deep wounds across his chest and shoulder. Every b
Chapter 672: Respawn
Kai and Abigail gasped at the same time.Their eyes flashed open violently, and for one terrifying breath, both of them reacted like people still pinned beneath the claws of that beast. Kai’s hand shot to his chest instinctively, fingers pressing against the place where the claw had punched through his body, while Abigail’s hand tightened around the hilt of her sword as cold intent surged around her for half a second before she forced it back down. Their breathing was rough, almost ragged, and the memory of death still clung to them with disgusting clarity.Pain, pressure, blood in the throat and the feeling of life draining too fast for the body to fight back then nothing.Kai lowered his head slowly and stared at his chest.No wound, blood or torn flesh.His clothes were whole too, as if the array had restored not only their bodies but the moment before failure itself. The silver blood inside him flowed steadily, strong and alive, without any trace of the beast’s destructive Qi. Abi
Chapter 671: First Death
Two days later, Kai’s eyes flashed open.The cold around him cracked.For a moment, the black glacier domain trembled as if something beneath it had awakened. Frost clung to Kai’s hair, his shoulders, and his robes, and a thin layer of dark ice had formed over half his body, but when his eyelids lifted, silver light flashed through his pupils before disappearing just as quickly. The frozen pressure that had been crushing his blood and marrow for two straight days loosened slightly, not because the training ground had become weaker, but because his body had learned how to push back against it better than before.Kai inhaled slowly.His silver blood moved like a cold river beneath his skin, stronger and smoother than it had been when he first sat down. Every heartbeat felt heavier, deeper, and more controlled. The cold that had tried to slow him now moved through his body like a sharpening stone. It still hurt, of course. It hurt terribly. But useful pain always had a different taste.
