?In a moment of resignation, Atum closed his eyes and accepted his fate, sitting down on the hard cold ground. "That's the right call. Here, take this." Ken handed over a grey pill that the seventh-rank alchemist had no trouble recognizing. With a bitter smile, Atum swallowed the Qi Disrupting Pill. The pill rendered him unable to channel Qi inside his body, and it was the base of the Qi Disrupting Smoke Pill he had invented. As soon as the pill's medicinal effects mixed with his blood, his…-

?Atum knelt on one knee. His body was battered with holes. The area around him, tainted by his Demonic Qi-infused blood, lay dead and withered. The combatants listened to Atum's labored breath in the silence of the plain. He looked up at his opponent towering above him. Ken seemed like the god of death in his eyes, a natural enemy, a predator that was there to devour him. 'Mind-Poisoning Domain – Paralyze Mode.' "I commend your power. You have done well, surviving against the five of us while…

?Over 200 years ago: "How was your day at Miss Rosenfield's?" "I missed Mommy!" Atum held his mother's hand, the two walking side by side. Atum was eight years old, and he just finished his day at Miss Rosenfield's, the teacher of their village. He would sit there for a few hours with some breaks in between and listen to her teach different subjects that the residents required. "Haha, I missed Little Atum too!" His mom laughed and tweaked his cheeks. For some reason her face was blurred, only…

?"HAHAHA DEVIL'S HEIR, I'M COMING FOR YOU!" A crazed laughter echoed through the empty plain. The group of five heard it loud and clear from the net of burrows and tunnels they had dug for themselves. "Oh, it has been a while since someone called me that," Ken glanced at Vivienne as he recalled the name everyone used to refer to him in the secret realm of the Bloodthirst sect. She ignored him, pretending she did not have anything to do with it. "Team Leader, are you going to reveal our position to…

?After quickly packing his belongings, Atum bid Frank farewell. He knew how to return favors; not because he cared about repaying but because it was necessary in order to get other favors in the future. As a Supremacy Phase cultivator, he had enough money to pay for twenty years' worth of rent. "I will be going then. See you later when I pay for everything." The bulk of his payment wasn't just for rent; it primarily covered Frank's extensive healing expenses. Since he returned in a broken state,…

?"This city was fun." Ken and his group left the city the next day after the tragic wedding. They left behind them their last identifications as Serene Lotus disciples in the rented house, and three new members joined the team for the mission, namely Maria, Odette, and Yuri. Those three remained quiet the whole time, knowing that it was not their place to comment. There was no room for more on Emrys' back, and the wolf also did not deem them worthy of riding him, so Ken had to use his usual…

?"You, why do you get involved in this matter? You specifically said you had nothing to do with the wedding!" He turned to Alaric, his lips quivering. "If you don't want to take credit for your actions, it must mean those actions are evil – don't do them." "It still has nothing to do with you, why are you interfering with the inner politics of our city?" He blamed. People of Alaric's strength were normally above the mortal world. They were treasured by the best sects and their budget was higher…

?Before the groom could follow his instruction, a third man appeared on the rooftop. "There is no fire like passion. There is no shark like hatred. There is no snare like folly. There is no torrent like greed." "Hm, Henry? What do you mean?" Vivi asked, lifting her head from the wooden roof. A bed of flowers had cushioned it for her. The monk remained silent, letting the wedding unfold. The groom opened the box and took out a silvery sword with azure hues on the broad side of the blade. When…

?Tiara, Alaric, and Vivienne remained behind, watching the backs of their teammates get further away. "I don't feel like chasing them," Vivienne complained lazily, walking as slowly as a mortal woman on high heels. "If you keep walking at this speed, you might catch up with them by nightfall," Tiara shrugged and walked away at a more reasonable speed for a sixth-stage cultivator. "I'm injured, I can't run. Doctor's orders," Vivi retorted, letting her friend get away without any second thoughts.…

?Back to the present: "Ok, everyone, hop on." They all cramped on Emrys' back, and the wolf set out on the trip to the east. The five had nothing to do on the way; Emrys knew the map and was avoiding the dangerous places acting as habitats for Supremacy-rank beasts. As for the others, the most they dared do was growling while cowering away. Emrys' pure bloodline acted as a strong deterrent against beasts. The downside was that stronger beasts would take huge risks to hunt him down should they…
