For the first time, the Elementalist felt what absolute satisfaction truly meant. He had long since heard about the champion of Destiny who had managed to evolve into a true and pure aspect of existence, and that meant that he could do it too. And yet, as that higher roof appeared above the infinitely high construct that were his aspirations, all the Elementalist could think about was not how to achieve what had already been achieved, but how to surpass it. Many other champions of Destiny had shared…-

Suddenly, the skin that had peeled off attached to Roley’s own, his flesh, now dust, seeped into his nostrils, and his bones, which had been swallowed by the concepts of darkness had not disappeared, but had joined the power of darkness as it went back into its summoner’s eyes. In just a few moments, the entirety of the Elementalist’s existence had disappeared, leaving no trace of him behind. Der looked on in horror. His attention instantly shifted to the formation that, in the distance,…

The two looked at one another in shock. Centuries they had spent looking for one another, always having the goal of reuniting lodged in the back of their minds, and only now they realized that, for years, they had shared the same universe. “Der.. What are the chances..” Roley muttered to himself as the man’s rough hands squeezed his shoulders. As his eyes met his old friend’s, however, he noticed something odd. Happiness, but also confusion and, to some degree, compassion. “What happened to…

On the elemental’s planet the roar of cheering was deafening. Millions of elementals looked at their defeated foe with eyes filled with pride and satisfaction. Human emotions they were only feeling for the first time, and which had erupted at the sight of their God’s might, and his proud and noble figure. In deep space, however, the atmosphere was quite different. While the elemental civilization had vastly underestimated the military prowess of the Immortal Armada, at the same time, the army…

While many within the Immortal Armada felt some modicum of relief following the successful sealing of the universe, almost no one looked back at the day with fondness. The death toll had been immeasurable.. And it mostly consisted of either harmless mortals who had never set foot into the world of cultivation, and whose only desires were to live a healthy life with their friends and family, or of some of the most competent and valiant members of the Armada’s military, who were first to give their…

Only a week had passed since the sealing of the universe, but of the joyous atmosphere that should have followed the cultivator’s success in staving off Horror’s invasion, there was no trace. On the contrary, the overwhelming pressure of war had intensified. On To’han, the leaders of the elemental civilization had regrouped in the Lord’s palace. There, they argued with one another over what had transpired the past few days. “Why so surprised? Our kind can have no permanent peace.. Not with…

In front of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, the once bright formation had slowly started to shut down.. And the cause was right there to see. The spatial treasures that had fueled and stabilized it had now begun to mysteriously disappear, leaving no trace behind. One by one, treasure after treasure left an empty spot within the formation, causing the barrier to rapidly fall apart. “..no.. no no no.. wha-” the lead Researcher muttered under his breath. His mind was in turmoil, for thousands of…

The news of the arrival of Horror’s horde affected the two civilizations in different ways. The cultivators, being the main target of Horror’s nature, were more wary of the threat.. While the elementals saw the imminent invasion as something not unlike any that preceded it. Horror’s domain wanted their territory, just like the cultivators before them, and they would either escape, or fight it. Nevertheless, a threat was a threat, and Horror’s arrival was a fight they had no much hope of…

The disembodied voice spoke respectfully, and reassuringly, yet it deeply alerted the three ancient elementals, who almost instinctively unleashed their power in an attempt to inspect their surroundings. If someone had been there listening to their conversation, they had failed to feel their presence. Like a supernova fighting the darkness of infinite space, the ancestor of light began to shine with impossible brilliance, lighting up the entire hall, and leaving only a few feet of isolated patches of…

“This isn’t possible. We have been monitoring the condition of the other universes!” A distressed old man clothed in military attire disclosed to his peers, who were currently seated by a long rectangular table. Some of them had their heads resting on their palms, while some others were slouched on their chairs, disheartened by the recent discovery. At the head of this table was the Warlord, who appeared to be staring at the uncomfortable figure of Okka while deeply buried in his own thoughts.…
