Blade Mastery: Thunderous Blade Wave! With a swift swing of his blade, a destructive arc of ice blasted into existence, emanating an intense chill that froze the ground and trees in its wake. The icy arc cut through the monsters like a hot knife through butter, drawing a red line in their bodies. The very next moment, each creature was cleaved in two, their bodies separated horizontally from the middle. The force of the blow was so powerful that a slash wound appeared in a hill far off. "Winter has…-

The ice bullets tore through her flesh with brutal efficiency, turning her into a sieve. Mia collapsed to the ground like a broken doll, her limbs splayed out in a grotesque and unnatural manner. Blood pooled beneath her, staining the ground with a sickening red hue. Her eyes remained open, staring blankly into the distance as her life slipped away. It was always sad to see lives end like this, but Evan knew he had no other choice. It was either them or him, and he couldn't afford to show any mercy.…

The second hound, a boy with jet-black hair and a mischievous grin, was engrossed in a game on his handheld device. Mia broke the silence with a confident tone. "Our target will be passing by here anytime soon." "Are you sure?" Alex raised an eyebrow. "My soul plate gave me a vision. He's close." Mia nodded confidently.

While the creature was still reeling, Evan struck it with a punch to the gut, sending it flying backwards. With a sickening thud, the creature collided with a nearby tree, leaving a massive depression in its head. But the impact didn't finish it off. With surprising speed, the beast regained its footing and took off into the air, desperate to flee. Evan was too powerful to defeat, and the creature knew it would only meet its demise if it stayed. "Looks like you're not so tough after all. A little…

"Now that we've weeded out the trash, let us begin the second trial, the Ultimate Test of Survival and Skill," Keldor said, his voice resonating across the field. "In this trial, your survival instincts and hunting prowess will be tested against the natural perils of Planet X, a non-developed planet, renowned for its ferocious beasts and inhospitable environment. Though it may seem like a straightforward challenge, do not be deceived, for it is far from easy. Each of you will be assigned a unique target…

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Kaboom! Keldor lifted the rough horn to his lips, feeling the instrument's coarse texture brush against his skin. He inhaled deeply, then blew into it with all his might, unleashing a thunderous blast that resounded across the field and reverberated into the distance. The first trial of fire had ended, and the inheritance war had claimed its first casualties. Out of the 3,000 ambitious participants who had entered the inheritance war, only 800 had emerged victorious, their…

Keldor stood before the participants with a stony expression, his gaze unwavering as he spoke, "The inheritance war is comprised of several trials." With a swift motion, he raised his hand, and a deep line etched itself onto the ground. The line stretched as far as the eye could see, reaching at least a mile in length. "Your first trial is to cross this line within three minutes. Those who succeed will advance to the next round, while those who fail will be disqualified. Now, let's…

Magnus held Evan's body firmly as they soared through the air. His heart was racing with fear as he focused all his energy on getting his son the help he needed.

Deviation in cultivation was no small matter. For cultivators, it was a perilous situation that could arise when their soul energy was thrown off balance or became chaotic, and the consequences were dire, not only hindering their cultivation progress, but also causing harm to their physical and mental well-being, as well as their soul pockets and soul plate. Overexertion, emotional instability, and practicing improper cultivation techniques were the most common culprits behind deviation. For awakened…

The Inheritance War was governed by rules that were etched into the very fabric of the clan's traditions. These rules were crystal clear and left no room for ambiguity. The first rule stated that only those who had attained the same level of cultivation as the Crown Prince of Frost were eligible to participate in the war. There were no exceptions to this rule, which ensured that all contenders would have an equal chance to prove themselves. The second rule was equally important - the better a…
