The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns Chapter 159: Clash Of Divine Domains

Listen While Reading: Well Matched

As the spider thought she finally had me, I waved my hand, a shockwave of Time Essence was released, and her grip over my own time was destroyed.

And instead, I skipped through time, appearing behind her through one of the techniques I used against the Barbarian God.

OP Sister Chapter 246: Trial Of Desire

Fang Shuan walked across the Golden Mountain Range until he finally found his destination, an abandoned set of ruins composed of black and purple stone. The entrance was open; the gate had been shattered by what seemed to have been a single, incredibly strong punch.

“Hah, that monster probably opened this place forcefully after it didn’t allow him entrance, huh?” Fang Shuan wondered.

The Temple of One Hundred Demon Souls, according to what he had been told by the...

(Bing Xue’s POV)

In front of me, something I had slightly predicted was happening.

The strange presence that had been summoned into this world a day or so ago, which had been mostly dormant and slowly expanding across the wastelands of the USA.

Suddenly appeared all the way here on Egypt, a Divine Entity of some sort, most likely summoned here from a different world or timeline.

I believe this thing might have some connection to the third tribe of Cavemen...

The city of Elderbridge was bustling with people moving everywhere. Most citizens were told to evacuate to the underground areas that Vlad had dug up for them to hide from invasions, but the Players, who had no idea of these things, were left wondering what was even happening, looking around in confusion. The citizens would mostly ignore them even when they asked them questions.

And in between the chaos that was happening, a beautiful and cute-looking demon girl was looking ...

OP Sister Chapter 245: Growing Even Stronger

I fell into the volcano, and the Heavenly Demon didn’t go to rescue me.

He let me fall into the boiling lava, right over the melting Black Steel.

The burning pain was mind-numbingly horrendous.

Yet Temperance made of that pain almost nothing.

I could bear it, so I swam in the boiling, melting steel.

“W-What is this?”

I couldn’t understand what was happening. I breathed the Black Steel, and it melded with me and my entire body.

Without a doubt, the moment he saw that, Vlad immediately knew what these plants were. Despite how shocking it was, something within him immediately clicked—an innate connection to all these plants, overflowing with Ki and Demonic Energy at the same time.

Yes, these were the plants he had planted on the farm just yesterday; it only took a night for them to grow to this enormous size, and above all, they didn’t even look fitting for consumption, instead becoming things si...

The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns Chapter 156: The Lurking Spider Makes Her Move

Her spiderwebs extended across the world’s spiritual plane, which had been mostly unexplored since Earth’s “Awakening” by the arrival of the Tower. Mana permeated the world and twisted reality; Gates expanded and sometimes gave birth to Dungeons. And every time this essence was left behind, space was more distorted and transformed.

A plane where the spiritual and ethereal exist was ripe for the taking, and completely unused by any person within the entire globe. When...

OP Sister Chapter 244: Trial Of Temperance

“It seems you’ve surpassed my own expectations once more,” the Heavenly Demon admitted as he carried us outside the pit. At least he did that, or I would have eaten his head off for being such an inconsiderate piece of shit.

“Is that so? And did you have to make the trial so ruthless and hard? You sure lack empathy even for your disciple…” I sighed. “You piece of shit of a master…” I didn’t even hold back with my words.

We were already deep within a pit of over three hundred meters of depth. Surrounding us, there were over a thousand Martial Beast, in power, they were comparable to S- Rank Monsters.

Yes, they were that freaking tough! And these were the weakest of them all within his Inner Realm. After all,...

“Anubis, you dummy! Don’t let those words affect you!”

Everything became a sphere of golden energies, which she expanded, giving her the ability to ...

I went through a lot, more than I had imagined.

When they merged with my Chaos Ki, they became incredibly powerful, a power I simply could have never achieved otherwise.

It felt so… good to let it all out.

But at the same time, once I realized what was happening, I felt afraid of my own strength.

The path of the Demon.

It doesn’t mean to become an actual Demon like the Death Apostles.

Though their doctrines and way of life are similar to the “Demon” meaning of Murim.

It means to be unrestricted by the law, to walk your own path, without morality to stop your conviction.

You kill if necessary, you steal, you destroy, and you crush, all to get to your goals. You don’t adhere to any laws; you don’t make friends... nor allies.
