"Why is Crux Pyron under a treason investigation despite going missing in the Mortal Realm?" Kaze asked Jacob coldly, "Two sentence answer, or you die." A crushing pressure assaulted the cultivator's back after his warning, indicating the man had no chance of escaping. "C-Crux went into the Mortal Realm without notice and hasn't returned even after the gate reopened." The cultivator stammered, "Since nothing poses a threat here, she deserted for a purpose." "How many people did they send to find her,…-

East of Meridian City, there was a large state-sponsored agricultural district. Due to the city's importance for maritime trade, grain and crop production comprised 60% of the area's economy. As a result, the reserved farmland was shockingly large, considering its proximity to a mega city. There were thirty square miles of farmland in the district. In the center was a large swath of cornfields in a rotation that around eighty people were navigating to. Three dozen cultivators were above the fields. They…

Kaze stepped out of a spatial rift on the side of the mountain, overlooking Meridian City. Only a day before, it was in chaos but still standing. Now, large sections of the city were on fire. Skyscrapers had toppled from the recent air bombing, creating a distinctively jagged appearance in the distance. It was a terrifyingly dystopian sight. "If they attacked the city, it meant the Killian faction cultivators created chaos for the military." He muttered pensively, "That must mean there's an event near…

"Reap." Kaze whispered, flying above the massacre site. A vortex of golden light radiated from the area, making the entire mountainside look like a valley of gold. It dazzled everyone present and astounded Crux. The souls of over a thousand low-grade swirled around him, getting drawn into his Soul Core through cultivation. Unlike before, he felt refreshed and alive as he had never before. After absorbing the Qi, he let himself drop to the ground, stepping on a tree trunk. Kaze closed his eyes, pulled…

Kaze flew above the lake at the center of the Immortal Skye campus, overlooking the Immortals and soldiers. They circled the lake, backs to each other. Their eyes were on the sky with Guided Arrows out front, awaiting the Airbreaker Unit's arrival. In the center stood Evalyn on a glacier pillar twenty feet in the air, circling everyone's backs. "Malta's approaching us!" Evalyn announced loudly, "To defend ourselves is natural; to fight back is to survive. Aim your arrows to the sky if you seek to fight…

The Immortals and soldiers stared at the reverse waterfall of blood rising to the sky in profound disbelief. It had all happened so fast. Less than a minute after they gathered outside the south side gate, the mountain got torn to shreds, killing thousands of soldiers before their blood rose into the air. Despite that, the speed, the images of crumbling trees, raging rivers of blood, and the sound from the attack breaking the sound barriers carved themselves into their minds. Now, the emperor was making…

After Kaze's battle harangue, he walked up to the military leaders with a cold expression. "What is it Kaze?" General Michaels asked with a beating heart. "The Maltian forces are already moving up the mountain." Kaze replied decisively. The general looked at him in confusion, unsure how he knew. "How long has it been?" After turning away, the emperor looked to the southside gate. "Around four hours." "The soonest they should be able to move is six!" General Michaels replied in confusion, "Between the…

White hot light tore through the sky, blinding anyone who hadn't prepared. The bending space broke up, and a violent ripple of Qi shot across the globe. Its impact was immediate and decisive. "GuuhhHHhhhHhhHhhHHhHHhh!" Groans waved through the members and soldiers as the Qi assaulted them. Every soldier had only learned the Fertility of Growth techniques two days prior, so they were unprepared. While the Immortals could cultivate it, that proved equally problematic because it stretched their meridians…

Kaze opened his eyes when he felt a pair of nails scraping against his chest. He looked at the ceiling in his dark room for a moment before glancing down and frowning. Kiera gripped his body involuntarily, her face wincing from a nightmare. He took a deep breath, reflecting on the speech and why she was so on edge. — "Now that you've bent your knee, you have vowed to protect Immortal Skye with your lives." The emperor began, speaking to the 1,550 ex-Maltian soldiers and officers kneeling before…

Kaze, General Michaels, and Kane Ryker stood on the balcony of Rein's mansion, where he had given the speech about Immortal Skye becoming a country. A sea of over two thousand Immortals and elites stood before him, awaiting his words. "Proud citizens of Immortal Skye." Kaze boomed, capturing cheers and grandeur from his people, "We have a heavy announcement to make." His subjects quieted down with nervousness in their hearts. "General Michaels of the Maltian Military has informed us that the worsening…
