  • Chapter 14 — Legend of the Empyrean Blacksmith Cover
    by Matthew Jones Chapter 14 CHAPTER 14 IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST Lino was escorted into a small house at the very edge of the impromptu-city within the valley . It was more akin to a shack rather than a proper house, but he didn’t mind . Inside the house he only found a single bed, a table, a chair and a simple fireplace . He quickly lied down atop the bed and felt exhaustion overcome his body as he sighed out . His mind drifted away into countless thoughts, some having to do with Vyeala, Endo Clan, as well as…

An immense wave of pain surged from the depths of his soul, but he stifled the cry inside his throat, trying to breathe as little as possible . Definitely a Soul Realm cultivator... he thought as information about the realm above his surfaced inside his mind…

As he stepped in, the two of them opened their eyes and looked at his self-satisfied expression with a strange gleam . Coughing lightly, Lino ignored their gazes and sat back down before taking out the and before putting them down . appeared almost like an ordinary piece of ore, yet purple-lustered…
  • Chapter 10 — Legend of the Empyrean Blacksmith Cover

While Lino was unaware of many things, including his own strength in regards to other cultivators,…

    by Matthew Jones Chapter 7 CHAPTER 7 UMBRA MOUNTAIN RANGE Soon enough, an entire year had passed since Lino began living with Eggor and Ella . He had already reached Level 25 in the meantime, and he felt his body was firmer than even ordinary plate armor . In addition, old bastard Eggor finally allowed him to craft again, but, after his , all his creations either weren’t, well, created, or they were at most sub-par .
