Monsters using weapons wasn’t an uncommon sight. Many of the weaker humanoid monsters sharpened sticks or used rudimentary tools, becoming capable of creating more proper weaponry later. The problem was that it was never good news when a monster used what seemed like proper equipment. The lizardmen that jumped out of the portal all wore crystalline purple armor. They wielded predominantly spears and halberds shaped out of the same material. Many even held shields. They moved in formation and created a…-

Far out in the wilderness of the Yixine empire, a ridiculous sight was taking place. A large stretch of nature had countless priceless materials scattered about, roughly leading in a single direction. It was like an absurd path of breadcrumbs, designed to lure a greedy myth golem down a specific direction. The diamond-rank cultivators sat with their arms crossed as they waited. The Emperor eventually appeared, and they eagerly waited for news. “As far as it is readily apparent, our plan is…

Neave had never paid much attention to the golden runes surrounding him during a true strike. Well, it wasn’t that he didn’t try. It was more that he really couldn’t. The runes always felt just a little beyond his perception. As the tendrils of life force extended and poured into the golden runes, he got sucked into the writing instead. The entire world slowed down, frozen in an eternal moment. The tragedy and horror of infinite pleas washed over Neave’s soul. *** Ilkivir could only…

Several miles away from the Falken sect, Gabrias was sprinting as fast as he could. He had slipped away ages ago, and luckily nobody had stopped him. As he rushed as far as he could from the portal, and the insane fight between Neave and the cultivator, he was accompanied by a massive horde of people, all pushing over one another and trampling several others. Gabrias felt horrible for those caught beneath the crowds, but there was little he could do to help. He would have probably already been among them…

Neave was handed a dimension ring that held not money but around a billion platinum coins in treasures, cores, materials, and equipment. At a certain point, using money for trade became wildly unpractical. While it would be possible to use certain precious metals to make coins of value far higher than platinum coins, it was better to just use those metals to forge equipment. Thus, the default for doing trade at the highest level was barter. There was no debate about who won the dance battle. Maecy gave…

Ilkivir was getting anxious. The devil's influence was just about everywhere throughout the capital. Either there was something besides Neave spreading it, or Neave was constantly moving around without pause. Ilkivir had decided to change his strategy and use a deductive approach instead. He had their group teleported to one of the outer edges of the capital. The demons sniffed around. Once they were done, they teleported again. They repeated this several times. Ilkivir had covered around ten percent of…

Occasionally, the best way to hide something was to do it in plain sight. Large sects weren’t strangers to flaunting their wealth and influence with parades, so the group marching down the streets didn’t raise even a single eyebrow. Every once in a while, Ilkivir would signal them, and they would all collectively take a deep breath. No one demon could tell precisely where to go, which was why they would go in the direction most demons were pointing. This scouting group had spent a while just sniffing…

Marven maintained the same pace. Outwardly, there were no changes to his behavior. Inwardly, he was cursing himself. Large cities, such as the capital of the Empire, were horrifically hostile to spirit senses. There was an overabundance of people, and objects that interfered with spirit senses were everywhere. Not only were cloaking artifacts popular among the masses, but no sect also wanted someone to be poking their spiritual nose into their premises. Trying to maintain constant attention to the…

At every circle of Keyishin, there were dedicated areas for teleportation platforms. These were usually where the overwhelming majority of people arrived when they teleported to the capital. However, for the peak sects, these portal zones were nothing but the commoner alternative. Every major sect within the capital's center had its dedicated teleportation platforms. Many sects also had them outside the capital, but that was a different story. Teleportation platforms weren’t allowed to be placed too…

There was a large library within the inner circle of the capital. The Emperor owned this library, and the most extraordinary collection of publicly available knowledge was held within. Well, the knowledge was technically publicly available, but the monthly fee for using the library totaled over a million platinum coins. A handsome, tall young man was reading books on the library's first floor, in a corner dedicated to alchemy. His pink hair, streaked with red locks, washed over his shoulder like a…
