Chapter 328
The window on the western side of the room overlooked the sky at a wide enough angle, and the daylight that usually poured through it suddenly changed.It did not go dark, but dimmed in a way that could only happen when something enormous passed between the sun and the window.Bravan turned.The elderly official before him turned as well.Outside the window, four silhouettes hovered in the sky above Vaelthorn Royal Palace.Their wings, even without beating, dominated their entire silhouettes from side to side. Their bodies were so disproportionately large compared to what a terrestrial creature should have been that their presence in the air seemed impossible without something extraordinary supporting them from below.The elderly official recognized their forms one second after Bravan did, and the moment he did, his legs chose the floor before his mind could issue any command."Four Auranveil." His voice came from the floor, half-collapsed, both hands already raised in front of his fa

In the western wing of Vaelthorn Royal Palace, Bravan sat at his desk.Before him were three stacks of documents, each arranged according to an order he had determined himself: reports from territories that had already pledged their allegiance, drafts of agreements that had yet to be fully negotiated, and a thinner file than the others that had nevertheless been read more than everything else on his desk. It contained the names and positions of those who had yet to choose a side and could still be influenced before the line between too late and not too late disappeared.Bravan read the way a man did not merely read words, but everything hidden behind them—the implications, the intentions, the gaps between what was written and what was meant.Then came a knock at the door.Bravan did not immediately raise his head. The way the door was knocked was enough for him to read it: faster than usual, with an uneven rhythm, the kind of knock made by someone who needed to enter but also needed o

The two of them walked through the eastern wing's corridor.A corridor that usually felt wide enough for two people to walk with comfortable distance between them now seemed narrower than usual, perhaps because Carath was walking in a way that left no room around him for air that had no business being there.They passed a large window overlooking the southern sky.Carath had no intention of stopping.But the shadow forced him to.Not a small shadow. Not something that could be ignored at the edge of his vision and forgotten as he continued walking. A shadow large enough to darken part of the corridor through the window, moving in a way that immediately triggered something in Carath's mind, a mind that had been trained for years to recognize threats before those threats had even finished announcing themselves.He stopped.Turned.In the sky beyond the window, four silhouettes hovered.Huge. Their wings, even while motionless, dominated their entire silhouettes from edge to edge. Their

In the eastern wing of Vaelthorn Royal Palace, Carath sat alone.His chamber was silent in exactly the way he preferred. No servants, no officials, no reports waiting to be read. Just him, his chair, and the window overlooking the palace courtyard below.There was a smile at the corner of his lips.Small, the kind of smile worn by someone who had already calculated the entire game board and found that every piece was exactly where it was supposed to be.More than six thousand people.Fifteen Sky Realm cultivators. Four hundred and eighty Star Realm cultivators. Five thousand six hundred Spirit Realm cultivators. The entire military force he had gathered, trained, and entrusted with a single purpose was now moving through Vrethkaar Forest, sealing off every possible escape route for an adventurer who thought he could provoke Carath simply by announcing himself throughout the palace.Provoke me?Carath almost laughed at the thought.The adventurer was clever, that much could not be deni

Lein opened his eyes.Nothing had changed in Vrethkaar Forest. The Ironcrown trees still stood where they had before. The four Auranveil corpses remained scattered across four different locations. The two remaining spirit stones still glowed beside him, their shifting colors continuing to dance beneath surfaces that were neither fully transparent nor completely solid.But the way his eyes perceived all of it had changed.Not because the world was different.Because the one observing it was no longer the same person.He raised one hand and looked at it.Spiritual energy flowed beneath his skin in a way he could now see—not with the same perception he had possessed before, not as something that required concentration or searching, but as something as naturally present as air within the lungs.He clenched his fist.Between his fingers, the air itself reacted in a way it never had before, retreating from his fist as though it already understood that the space surrounding this object deser
Chapter 323
The spiritual energy from the stone began to flow into him.Lein had absorbed more than a hundred spirit stones since arriving in Xollos, from the lowest grade to the highest, and through that experience, he had become intimately familiar with the sensation.He knew how the energy entered through his meridians, like water finding a channel and flowing along paths that already existed, filling the narrowest passages before spreading into the widest, calm and predictable.But this one was different.It did not feel like flowing water.It felt like crashing waves.The first surge of energy from the Auranveil's spirit stone slammed into his primary meridian with such force that every energy channel within his body instantly tensed—not because they were being damaged, but because they were suddenly forced to contain a volume they had never been designed to hold.Like a river that suddenly receives the combined flood of ten other rivers at once, and within seconds must decide whether to ove
