Jeevian drank a cup of liquid. The power within made his entire body course with unimaginable might, and he couldn’t stop himself from cackling in joy. If his father could witness this crazy child turning a dragon monster into an incredibly potent elixir, he would have spat blood and resigned from his position as an elder of the Descending Heavenly Dragon sect. After a while, the transformation of the dragon who had attacked Neave and his companions was undone. The small, humanoid form expanded into a…-

The sound of blood dripping on the stony ground was all that could be heard as the air in the room froze. The blurry image of the creature before them stood there for another few moments, and then it vanished. By the time it did, the woman was already gone. “Fuck!” Neave yelled. “Heavens fucking damn it! I wish I had realized it's an illusion sooner! Damn, that was convincing.” “Hahaha…” Dukean’s dad chuckled. Then, he started cackling like a lunatic. “I can’t believe it! Everyone I…

Jeevian didn’t consider himself a cold person. Many would deem his intentions as malicious, but he truly didn’t think there was anything evil to what he was doing. He would save a realm from destruction, so it was only natural to become the one who ruled it. But at that moment, he had a thought that anyone would agree wasn’t particularly moral. As he looked at Xondir, Zhaore’s successor, he had the brief thought that the man’s death might have been fortunate. Zhaore had been old, really old,…

Marven stood in his spirit realm. It still took the form of the golden fields he used to toil in, but it had been thoroughly wrecked by that point. Destruction spread all around him. Unknowingly, he had almost the same thought as his companions at roughly the same time. They hadn’t ascended to the diamond path yet due to the demigod and the emperor’s ability to track them if they did so, so they were only at the level of a Master. But that didn’t matter one bit. The emperor archgoblin stood before…

It had been a warm, pleasant evening above the empire capital when the emperor told Kingean, under spirit oath, the secret to his ascent up to the second step of the diamond path. A hundred years had passed since then. And he hadn’t made a single step of progress toward achieving that goal. A rope-thick strand of potential spreading seemingly infinitely in both directions, so long and glorious that it must have held a secret of the universe itself. And the emperor had grasped one for the potential of…

The Abyssal Depths were much richer in qi than the surface. And monsters were attracted to energy density. However, that didn’t mean that the surface was wholly unappealing. A place like the empire's capital is still attractive enough that veritable hordes of monsters charge at it all the time. The former Empress was a wise woman, however. With an Earth Manipulation spirit power, she formed intricately shaped caverns beneath the capital, and their unique shape prevents energy from flowing underground…

The capital of this dingy empire might have been prominent by the standards of these lower realm hicks, but from Hosolar’s perspective, it was little more than a corner a rat was trapped in. After a whole week of tireless searching, he was sure beyond doubt that that child, together with what they had gathered to be five allies, had escaped into the underground. That was, to Hosolar, a minor inconvenience. Even if it took years to track the child down, it was no problem for him. To higher-realm beings…

In the central hall of the Falken sect, three domes of spirit stood undisturbed. With a flicker, Neave and Dukean appeared before them. “You remember what we agreed upon?” Neave asked him. Sighing, Dukean answered, “Don’t worry. I’m not going to say anything. I’m not an idiot.” He nodded at the young master. “Good.” then, with a swing, he shattered the first of the four domes. The person inside flinched and jumped as the dome dissipated and the liquid spirit from within flowed out. It…

Kingean had believed that he could never forgive Beanna for her mistake. Their comrade’s life—and the failure to subdue a great calamity—was an unacceptable price to pay. Yet, it didn’t take long for the ice around his heart to be melted by the eternal fire burning from within. Indeed. Although he would never admit it, as he couldn’t act on these feelings, he had been deeply in love with Beanna for a long, long time. From even before he met his late wife. Or so he had been. But those feelings…
