Today's chapter delayed until tomorrow

Unfortunately, I have to delay today's chapter until tomorrow due to health reasons. I'll try to get it out as soon as possible, so hopefully in 13-14h.

Chapter 749.

Ogras grunted with disgust as he chewed on the astringent mixture of herbs. The sickly heat radiating from the wound on his back was soon replaced by a cooling wave, proof that his makeshift antidote did at least work to some degree. It would take a lot more to rid himself of that sinister poison, but there was no opportunity to properly rest until he reached the next checkpoint.

He didn't know how, but his location was always exposed by those bastards, no matter how well he hid.

...

Chapter 748.

Zac woke up with a start, his still mind scattered by the electrifying experience he'd just endured. He instinctively raised his arms to block the punishment from above, but he soon realized the oppressive presence of the Heavens was gone. It still took him some time for his mind to snap back into focus, and he breathed in relief upon realizing his surroundings weren’t shrouded in oppressive darkness.

He was still illuminated by the dark gold of the sky above the surface, meaning he h...

Chapter 747.

Zac felt like he was tearing through the veil of the heavens as he pushed through the haze, embraced by life and death as they had joined each other into a nebulous soup. Of course, Zac believed something even greater was brewing in the depths of the valley, and [Love’s Bond] was already stirring in anticipation. The chains gingerly stroked the runes in the tunnel, and the Dao clouds shuddered in turn as the two resonated.

Each physical step also felt like a metaphori...

Chapter 746.

[E] Pillar of Desolation - Proficiency: Early. Stuck and struggling. Inexorable desolation. Upgradeable.

Zac looked at the skill screen, endlessly relieved he didn’t listen to the whispers of doubt in the back of his mind that told him to give up on his drug-induced ambition and instead try to salvage the skill. Its description didn't seem any different compared to any other of his skills, but he knew that it most likely was the most powerful one in his repertoire at ...

Chapter 745.

The cultivation cave where he had spent the better part of a year no longer felt like a secure sanctuary, like a home that had been burglarized.

Zac knew that he was mostly to blame for getting wrapped up in this mess. Staying in one place for this long was to tempt fate, but the location was simply too good to give up on. He had been making rapid progress, both in levels and in regards to his soul. Over the past three months, he repeatedly considered finally setting out, only to feel t...

Chapter 744.

Zac looked back and forth for the source of the voice, but no matter what method he used, he couldn’t pinpoint the source. The voice belonged to a man, but Zac couldn’t place him at all. The stranger's ability to analyze his situation so easily was extremely disconcerting though, but Zac had thankfully activated the array hiding his Duplicity Core the second he sensed something amiss.

His mind went through all kinds of possibilities. Was it perhaps Ykrodas who had finally managed to...

Chapter 743.

Emily’s brows were furrowed from a mix of worry and hesitation as she hurried toward the Dao Repository. Something was going on, and not just with the emergency meeting the Stargazer had called. Something was different with the atmosphere in Port Atwood since she had returned from the Tower of Eternity.

It wasn’t just the seemingly endless amount of resources that had appeared out of nowhere just before she left. They were sent back by Zac according to Joanna, and it wasn’t out of...

Chapter 742.

The humongous crystal was like an emperor among its subjects, but it wasn't hard to see that it wasn't actually a Twilight Crystal. It looked more like an oversized tiger's eye gemstone or an agate if anything. He didn't immediately approach, but he first scoured his information packages to find something similar.

Eventually, he found something promising, though he looked up at the man-sized gem with some hesitation. There was a rare gemstone called [Mind's Eye Agate] t...

Chapter 741.

Zac eventually woke up from his comatose state, and his eyes feeling like they were full of gravel as every part of his body hurt. He swallowed another Healing Pill with a grimace as he stowed away the Void Beast organ. It looked shriveled like an oversized raisin compared to when he bought it, and Zac guessed that it had lost more than eighty percent of its remaining energy while he was unconscious.

Part of it was probably because of him absorbing some of it while unconscious, but most...

Chapter 740.

“What the hell!” Qirai screamed, her eyes almost bulging out of her head. “Am I seeing things?! Has this cursed ocean finally driven me insane?”

“If it did, then it dragged us all down,” Catheya sighed as she looked at the screen in front of her.

Chapter 739.

A/N: Small update. I have decided to start writing bloodline talents the same way I do skills, [Like this]. This will only affect Patreon going forward, and RR releases where I will do a simple replace thingy.

However, with Zac's new ability it does get a bit confusing. If it's written as void zone rather than in brackets, it's referring to the actual area of nullification around Zac rather than the ability itself.

------------

Clearly, Zac wasn’t the only...

Chapter 738.

A/N: And we're back! Thank you all for the support during my vacation, and your continuing support here in September! 

No more breaks, this month at least, so let's get right into it!

----------------

Various incipient plans for the near future were thrown out the window as the whole mountain once more shook under the weight of the Beast King's wrath. There was no way Zac could stay in the area and work on his cultivati...

Chapter 737.

Zac woke up, and he was immediately beset by an intense hunger as he sat up with a grunt. He pushed away the sense of starvation as he looked around, and he was relieved to see that the situation wasn't too bad. He had been completely consumed by his Bloodline Vision even after having his soul evolved, but his surroundings were still somewhat intact.

Some time during his breakthrough the cave had been breached and flooded, but he was still protected from the currents outside. The cave i...

Chapter 736.

Evolving his bloodline was risky considering the chaos he had caused when awakening it the first time, but he didn't have many options if he wanted to get out of here. It was either that or wait in this cave until the trial ended. This place seemed safe enough with the flowers eating all the Twilight Energy, but he refused to just sit around for over two whole years.

Besides, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity? There shouldn’t be a single cultivator able to reach these depths, and ...

Chapter 735.

The situation was grim, but it wasn’t all bad. Where there was danger, there was also opportunity. Zac's cells suddenly came alive with greed while climbing, and he spotted a secluded cave not far away. He entered it cautiously after switching to his undead form, and he found himself face to face to a flower that had once juicy bulb at the top that reminded Zac of a dumpling.

It emitted an earthy aroma that was extremely enticing, but Zac forcibly ignored the primal hunger as he took ...

Chapter 734.

Searing pain woke Zac up with a start and he found rampant energies wreaking havoc inside his body. It wasn't something Uona had done, but rather terrifying amounts of Twilight Energy, far more than his bloodline could handle. His whole body was barely holding together from all the wounds, but the energy was an even more immediate threat.

Perhaps he should consider it a relief that there was no kill energy occupying space inside his body. He had no idea how Uona had managed to survive b...

Chapter 733.

A/N: While Zac is an agent of chaos, it appears the Heaven's Chosen are not. So I guess we're doing all of August's chapters this week in a nice and orderly fashion. 

-------------------

Zac knew he wasn't thinking rationally, but his desires muffled the voice of caution in the back of his mind. Using the mark of creation to forcibly take control of the egg was worth a try. He could sense that mysterious energies that filled the runes of the ...

Chapter 732.

A/N: This is the last chapter of the month, hope you've enjoyed the middle chunk of the TA Arc.

This is a final reminder before the end of the month: There will only be 5 chapters released in August as I'm taking a vacation.

Some answers to clear up some questions I've seen on the Discord:

- The chapters will be 'normal chapters', not slice-of-life POV's or interludes or anything like that.
