The second spar against my babies started, and I couldn’t help but embrace them in the heat of the battle. Their little fists and claws come at me like tiny, destructive meteors and exploding stars. Their movements became more refined as we battled, and even though Orion was stubborn about fighting however he wanted, I taught him how to balance better his posture and fighting abilities, and he learned from them.
He acted stubborn, but whenever he found he was lacking or ea...

Vlad glanced at the corpses of these strange jackal-headed creatures, quickly pointing his hands at them and equipping his Skill that allowed him to drink large quantities of blood and assimilate bloodlines.
The moment he did, streams of black, miasmic blood emerged from the monster’s corpses, intimidating him slightly towards the idea of drinking it… However, he ultimately took the risk, detecting that despite how black the blood was, it was still considered edible for ...

I combined with Fang Shuan; his stats and skills became mine, temporarily. The strength of his metallic body, his mighty soul, his techniques, memories, experience, abilities, skills, everything. My body combined with his metallic alloy, becoming gold, glittering, and my hair turned into a long sea of blazing soul flames.
And his Skills, all of them were one with me, alongside his powerful soul, which had fully recovered once it fused with me thanks to all the Holy Nether wi...

“My body…! Why is it so heavy?! Heavier than ever before! I can’t… move properly?! UGH!”
She was imbuing her entire body with her Hope, trying to boost her movement speed enough to counter the debuff, but it wasn’t working; even now, the power of Skills seemed absolute.
Yeah, there was no Mana, but their effects still worked; as long as I replaced their Mana requirements with Ki, it worked.
And I’ve been cultivating to gain as much KI as possible to...

After checking on everyone, I made my way back to my palace, where, after a brief conversation with Fiery Hair and Mursha, I moved to giving all my attention to my kids.
“Mama! You’re finally back! Took you long enough!” Orion said. “Let’s fight alreadyyyy!”
“Hey Orion! Don’t be like that; Mama has a busy life!” Athena said. “I’m ready too, by the way!”

As both Venerables charged against me, I unleashed a sword technique combining all my equipped weapons and their abilities together; several slashing waves of darkness and light rushed towards them, the combination of Gram’s Draconic Modes combined with the Sword-Axe’s Cleave.

SLAAASH!

“You’re not ordinary at all!”

I activated every old accessory I had at hand; their buffs were small compared to the current powers I could wield, but fused together, they were still an almighty amount of buffs. And this was necessary for the Privilege I was going to utilize in this battle.
Even more, there were three other accessories I had to activate first; all of them were Murim-themed.
FLASH!
A golden aura encompassed me, the different auras of the buffs creating a spiraling stor...

Because of circumstances, the time inside the Inner Realm had to be accelerated some more so we could stay a couple more months. But we were already reaching the limits of how much I could accelerate it before my girls got upset, so I guess the most we could afford is for the other two babies to be around their two to three years of age in development-wise before we needed to get out.
If it were up for me, we would stay years, but the way I detect how time passes is differen...

The nine heavens of Murim trembled as rainbow lightning shook the skies. All life within these nine layered clouds started panicking, massively migrating from the areas affected, most of them even going towards the Earthly Realms below, causing great chaos and commotion as powerful, high-tiered Heavenly Martial Beasts started rampaging the land of Mortals.
The lightning constantly spread further but rapidly began to gather together, beginning to form a...

After fighting dozens of Immortals one after another, even if they didn’t truly have their complete original power, we became strong. My Skills leveled up, and my Martial Arts progressed as well. The more I guided my allies towards victory, the stronger their Hope towards me became, and the more my Heart of Hope was refined, and so the extension of its abilities.

However, he was only pushed back, realizing the tremendous prowess within the werewolf, whose huge body towered above the vampire prince with ease. The were...

Near the Wildlands outside of New York, a huge golden and red-colored portal opened out of nowhere. This wasn’t a Gate where monsters would randomly pour out, forcefully breaking the pillars of space.
No, this was a special Portal created using Magic or an Item from the Tower itself. The Portal opened, widening for over a hundred meters and then stabilizing, remaining open for several minutes.
Until someone started coming from the portal. A large, towering man wearin...

The world around us shook; light engulfed us completely. I felt as if the ground below us was beginning to change, dragging us elsewhere; there was no ceiling and no walls. When we finally realized where we were, there was just an endless, azure ocean and the sky above.
We were somehow standing above the water, which seemed like a solid floor, yet it wasn’t. With just a little force, I was able to submerge my foot beneath the water, getting wet and all.

My mother, my sister, and then the rest of my disciples were allowed to see my babies one after another through the day. I stayed by the side of Urbosa and Merkite through it all. In fact, I was completely glued here, and I really didn’t want to move anywhere else.
Why?
Well, they were simply too precious! They were the most beautiful, pristine, radiant, wonderful, valuable, heavenly, primordial, immemorial treasures of the entire universe, cosmos, and reality!

However, her resolve to gain more popularity was stronger, and with the thought that it was just a game, she was able to force herself to join the group.
Nonetheless, despite her trying her best to not look nervous, she couldn’t help yapping and asking a trillion questions.

Each color represents an element as well, and each Heaven has its own unique biomes, floating islands, or even a solid cloud to stand over. Alongside unique, Martial Beasts of even gr...
