The last time Calron had accidentally made contact with the Dao Geyser, it had forcefully sucked him inside against his will.
This time, Calron would be prepared.
Sitting himself down on the ground, Calron started his preparations to ‘gaze’ once more at the Geyser. Since only his consciousness would be able to enter, he decided to arm his mind with the Blood Dao. It should provide ample protection against the onslaught of other daos upon entering.

It was evident that the Divine Bird shared a lot of similarities with the Seraph tribe. The notable metallic wings were a clear indicator. However, unlike the old Divine Bird transformation Calron underwent, the Seraph wings didn’t transform his exterior appearance.
He still looked like his previous self, besides the additional pair of wings on his back. This wasn’t to mean that the Seraph wings were weaker. On the contrary.
“It’s actually the essence’s hea...

A spectrum of colors filled up Calron’s range of sight. The numerous daos and their intents float before him as he swiveled his head to locate the Geyser. Calron was searching for a ‘window’ according to Martial’s description.
“Did he drop me off at the wrong place?”
Calron muttered to himself. Besides the dao from the grass, air, earth, and other objects in the environment, he couldn’t detect anything out of the ordinary. His blood-colored eye glowed a...

The sound of a tree snapping in two resounded as a ball of mass crashed straight into it. The splinters were drenched in blood as the wounded creature almost got impaled during the snap.
“Stop running, you dimwit!”
A childish girl’s voice hollered behind the injured creature, as a purple ray blitzed right out of the creature’s shadow, revealing the figure of a petite 10-year-old girl. The young child’s purple hair danced through the breeze as her bone dagge...

“It’s been years, and how is it possible that all traces of him have vanished completely?”
A low voice stated slowly in a cold tone. His aged voice contained seething rage, but there was also a hint of melancholy hidden within.
The whole room stayed still in silence as the old man slammed his fist against the wall, sparks of yellow lightning colliding against the hard concrete. Multiple shadows stood standing across the corners of the room, while a few robed fi...

“Hey, can you tell me more about the Dao Geyser?”
Calron had an inkling about the function of the Geyser from what Serina had told him, but he thought Martial might have more hidden knowledge that was not available to the general public. This was only highlighted by the fact that the Titans hid their base inside that very Geyser.
“Hmm, the Geyser itself is pretty unassuming. In fact, it’s just a hole in the fabric of space. Think of it like a window that lets...

A scorching fist whizzed past Calron’s face as he nimbly pulled his face back. He felt the heat from the flames sear his skin, but he successfully evaded it. Not even a second later, another fist flew across the back of his head, and Calron ducked in time yet again.
He exhaled, his chest heaved as an exhilarated thrill washed over him. He could track the golem’s moments now. His left eye could now not only see the dao flames, he could see the ‘intent’ behind them a...

The world turned dim.
As if enshrouded by a veil of darkness.
I can see it now.
In the center of his vision, Calron saw a figure cloaked in a sea of flames. The flames were intertwined with the shell of the figure, both on the outside and submerged on the inside as well. The flames were the dao.
Opening his right eye, Calron could see the original image of the golem, with the cracked, stony chest. But in his left eye, he could see the da...

“Haah… Haaah…”
Sounds of panting echoed in the empty meadow as the gentle breeze carried those sounds of exhaustion to the vicinity. Lying prone on the grass was a half-naked man with patches of torn fabric spread around him. His robes were in complete tatters.
On a closer look, a series of burns and coarse bruises spanned all over his exposed skin. Some of the cauterized wounds were even emitting faint traces of charred smoke. The man’s left shoulder appea...

“Possibly? You don’t know for sure?”
Calron took a moment to think about what Martial said. It made sense. The Titan core was acting as a separate pathway inside his body. It didn’t obstruct the dao circles, but neither were their pathways conjoined.
“Well, you’re the first one to use the Titan core, so we don’t really have a lot of information on it. Theoretically, other path walkers should be able to use it as well. However, we don...

“Is there something wrong with my domain?”
Calron asked hesitantly as he trailed behind the black pig. It looked like Martial was heading for the door.
“I’ll go see what’s the hold-up with Star.”
The Blood Titan glanced at the tiny dove before leaving the room in a flash of crimson burst.
“Heed his words, little one. Martial is the most adept at domain among all the Titans.”
The Nature Titan addressed Calron ...

“Do you feel any different?”
The dove flapped her wings and flew over to Calron, hovering and inspecting to see any other changes they missed.
“I feel invigorated. I can’t use both the essence and the dao at the same time, but I feel my body is much stronger than before.”
Calron snapped his fingers, and a bolt of golden lightning crackled over his fingertips. He tried to use his old abilities, but couldn’t transform into the golden bird. Eve...

Sparks of lightning danced around the golden core on top of the Blood Titan’s palm. The gem had a crystalline structure with numerous glossy facets. Calron could see the chains of lightning condensed within it as they kept ricocheting off the inner walls.
The feeling of familiarity returned. The same sensation he’d felt when he first saw the Ivy Green Python’s core. But this time, it was magnitudes stronger. It was almost as if the Titan core was c...

Calron was stunned at the revelation.
Titan core?
Calron recalled his encounter with the Ivy Green Python on Rendel Island. Back then, he’d felt an uncanny familiarity the moment he laid his eyes on that core. Was it because the Lightning Primordial created it?
“How is it possible to awaken an element within a path walker’s body?”
It was impossible for an element to exist inside a path walker. Calron co...

“It’s not opening.”
Calron attempted to turn the page over, but it was strangely glued shut. Not even his strength of a 4th circle was able to nudge it.
“It will one day. When you’re ready to protect the words contained in that book.”
The tiny dove gazed morosely at the rough rustic exterior of the book cover.
“Why can’t you just tell me?”
Calron tried once again to pry the pages open, but it was to no avail. Why did ...

The dead bark on the tree let out a soft hum, followed by an ethereal door coalescing in the center.
“Follow me.”
The Blood Titan smiled at the complicated expression on Calron’s face and walked through the shimmering door once it opened. Unlike the hard tree’s exterior, the door appeared to be made of magic and not of any physical matter.
Calron felt a strange emotion inside his heart. The Blood Titan looked at him like he was the sa...

Hello everyone!
Sorry I have been very busy for the past few weeks and I'm finally able to reveal why!
Ever since I started writing, one of my main goals has to dedicate full time and energy into my books. Which meant forming my own Publishing Company for my books. I wanted to have all my series' universe under a single branch.
For the past month, I've been dealing with lawyers to set up and incorporate the company. It was also a requirement ...

The world flashed with a bright light.
Calron squinted through his eyes until the light dwindled, and eventually, a new scene emerged before him. It resembled the previous meadow, but instead of the silver goblet in the center, there was a looming dead tree in its place.
He was still far away from the dead tree’s trunk, but despite the distance, Calron could tell just how gigantic the tree was. He twisted his neck to gauge its height. However, the top of the tre...

On a quiet and uneventful night, a gentle cool breeze swept over a motionless lake in the center, creating soft waves on the surface of the water.
The bizarre thing was that no creatures were anywhere to be found near the lake. No midnight critters, owls or predators came close to the lake. It was as if all the creatures in the vicinity knew that they should avoid this lake at all costs.
From the side, the sound of footsteps on grass could be heard, app...

The sound of a child humming a tune echoed within a small peach orchard. It was almost evening. The soft reddish hues of the horizon made the peaches glimmer with a rosy shine. The scent of the ripe fruit permeated every inch of the small orchard.

A young child muttered to himself with triumph as he stood in the back of the line with the other fruit pickers. The boy appeared to be around 8 years old, but his true age w...

A small fishing boat thrashed around the edge of the shore, the knot tying it to the rock already came loose.
“Damn, those crabs.”
An old man cursed out loud, his spit flying everywhere as he rushed to the boat and brought it back to the land lest it drift away.
The old fisherman was just back from his daily haul, and the meager number of fish he’d caught was not enough for the village. The people were going to be angry.

“We are the Lightning Primordial, Calron.”
Raizel’s muted voice resounded within Calron’s mind, as the azure lightning burst out from his chest and wrapped itself around Raizel’s body, boiling with rage.
However, the lightning had no effect on the demonic man as he simply held out his palm, and bolts of black lightning exploded outward, and drove back the Divine Element.
“If you’d awakened, I’d be in trouble. However, you’re barely a threat to me now.”

Hey guys,
Since last month, I've been working on an art project with a team of artists in order to make the first official TDE Poster exclusive for Patrons.
This is singlehandedly the most expensive art I've ever commissioned and I'm happy with the results. I uploaded the compressed version of the file, but the original one that will be made into a poster will be very high quality. The dimensions of the poster will be 18"x24"
At the moment, I will only be shipping this p...
