Chapter 280.

Zac’s mind was screaming at him to get away, and he had learned to not question his danger sense by now. He unhesitantly pushed backward with the help of [Loamwalker] only to see a spurt of liquid metal from the sphere lash out at him like a whip.

The air cracked as the line of darkness ripped through it, and Zac sensed a horrifying finality contained inside it. He wasn’t simply being attacked by some liquid metal like when he fought Salvation. He was being attacked...

Chapter 279.

“The Lord of Cycles,” Zac said with resolve in his eyes. 

This was the final decision that Zac had arrived at after weeks of deliberation. He did consider taking Undying Fiend in hopes it was a Defensive Inheritance that might contain a Spirit Tool shield. But in the end, he chose the one that seemed to fit best overall with his current skillset.

Zac didn’t know exactly what to expect from such an inheritance, but there might be various things that might increase the sy...

Chapter 278.

“Great,” Zac said with some excitement.

He had been looking forward to the inheritance for quite some time now, and it was finally time to see what one of the old powerhouses had left behind for future generations. It could affect his whole future in a sense.

Inheritances weren’t as narrow as a heritage, who usually showed how to attain a certain class. An Inheritance didn't pigeonhole one's progress like that, but they were simply the treasures and insights a predecessor le...

Chapter 277.

Kenzie noticed Zac’s preoccupation and walked over next to him in front of the Cosmic Water pond.

“What is that flower?” Kenzie said with interest after seeing Zac's stare.

“A present from Abbot Everlasting Peace,” Zac explained. “He gave me a seed from a D-Grade Lotus, but I wasn’t sure it would germinate. But the effect here is even better than I anticipated. I thought it would take much longer for it to start growing.”

“What does it do?” Kenzie said. 2020-02-18 17:54:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 276.

Zac put away the last of the treasures before he deactivated the arrays surrounding his courtyard. In the end, he needed over thirty Cosmos Sacks to fit everything he wasn't keeping for himself, and it would have been higher if Calrin hadn’t taken care of the pile that was to be sold off. Luckily, all of the things he would keep for himself would fit in his personal Cosmos Sack without trouble.

Emily perked up the moment the shields surrounding the courtyard deactivated and rushed ins...

Chapter 275

It allowed Zac to relax somewhat about Emily’s situation since he could tell it wasn’t bad news going by Kenzie’s expression. She was apparently out on a hunting trip at the moment, but she should be back pretty soon. It made Zac worry a bit that she still pushed herself to such a degree, but she was always accompanied by demon guards to keep her somewhat safe.

Apart from the attribute fruits, there were also three Dao Treasures, and Zac unhesitantly kept those for himself. He had fi...

Chapter 274.

The more he thought about it the likelier it almost felt to Zac. He might not have an AI that guided him in his cultivation, but there had been several instances where he was fine when he should have died.

The most notable instances were the time he jumped into the pond of cosmic water and came out unscathed with an improved race afterward. Next, there was the incident where he killed almost a hundred thousand zombies and absorbed a huge amount of miasma.

That incident should have...

Chapter 273.

Zac’s heartbeat sped up in anticipation, and he almost wanted to smack himself when he realized he had forgotten about checking his cultivation talent in his Draugr form. It felt especially likely now that he learned that the Draugr was a royal group that had extra good control over miasma compared to other undead species.

But he forcibly put away the manual again and refocused on his real task. It was not like he could try it out at the moment in any case, since he was currently in h...

Chapter 272.

Zac panted as he popped a healing pill while looking at the surroundings. The large fortress largely lay in ruins, and much of it was his own handiwork. The battle between himself and the Incursion leader had caused widespread destruction, especially due to the stone-thaumaturgy of the rockman.

He bent over and snatched the cosmic sack of his opponent, but he didn’t join the efforts to drive the remaining rockmen toward their nexus hub. This time there were no quests rewarded or title...

Chapter 271.

Zac surveyed the battlefield as the Ishiate warriors were walking through it, making sure that all the golems were dead as they lay on the scorched ground. Of course, most of the time there was no need to check since the bodies were separated into pieces or completely destroyed from his onslaught. Ogras stood not far from him, holding his hand around the mold where his other arm once was. 

“You’ve gained a lot of power during your hunt,” Ogras commented from the side. “And ...

Chapter 270

Riverleaf sighed as she looked at the ravaged forest outside their town. The trees that their ancestors had tended for hundreds of years were gone, replaced with burnt-out husks, and the farms were turned into with ruins and war trenches. As the shaman of their village, she sensed the pain of nature around them.

They had truly underestimated these foreign invaders. For months they had been battling for territory, neither side showing a clear advantage. The invaders might have been the s...

Chapter 269.

"You shouldn’t slander others little Acorn,” the old man sighed with disappointment. “You know those days are long behind me.”

“Then why is that pouch belonging to that guard earlier tied around your waist?” the younger Sky Gnome said with a scathing glare.

“You! You just want the Lord to focus on my fingers so that he won’t notice you undervaluing the goodies!” the old man angrily spat as he quickly hid the pouch in an inner pocket of his robe.

Zac’s bro...

Chapter 268.

"Finally," Zac said with a smile.

He had almost started believing they were stuck in some parallel world. The ships he had bought from the Creators were extremely swift, but it had taken months until they finally found the mainland. It also showed just how huge the new planet was. It felt as though their current mass was far larger than just the combination of the four integrated planets. 

Perhaps the system had thrown some random landmass into the mix to make the distances l...

Chapter 267.

”Is this something common?” Zac finally asked, breaking the subdued silence in the room.

”No. Finding newly integrated planets before the Origin Dao disappears is notoriously hard. It’s hard enough to make me wonder you’re even in any danger at all,” the tool spirit shrugged. ”The greatest old monsters in the multiverse could probably do it, but they have no use for baby planets. They rather have their sights on whole galaxies.”

The discussion continued a bit on th...

Chapter 266.

“Why have so many come to beseech The Great Sage? I am sorry, but I do not accept disciples,” an arrogant voice echoed through the huge hall as the leaders of Port Atwood entered the Towers of Myriad Dao.

The next moment Brazla appeared, this time donned in a golden cultivator’s robe. Behind him was a huge golden sword that radiated a divine might, though Zac knew it was just an illusion. However, those who entered these halls for the first time couldn't stop themselves from gaspi...

Chapter 24X2

Author note: Ogras POV 2/2. Next chapter Wednesday, back to normal order. And schedule.

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

Ogras hesitantly looked around for a bit, unsure what to do next. This wasn’t the direction of the Mystic Realm he’d expected. He had imagined either a wild environment where his skills were put to the test against an onslaught of beasts or an ancient ruin containing a Title-Awarding trial or something equally valuable.

But there was ...

Chapter 265.

The huge black walls that delimited the hunting grounds had shrunk at a rapid pace, swallowing hundreds of mountains by the second. In almost no time the darkness was upon him, and Zac only managed to take a last glance at the Eastern Trigram Sect before everything turned black.

[Congratulations on receiving the third position on the Hunter Ladder. Awards distributed.]

The unfeeling voice of the System suddenly echoed in his ears as an enormous surge of energy ent...

Chapter 24X

Author note: Thanks for resubbing!

So, Chapter 24X, what the hell is going on? I have decided to add 2 Ogras POV chapters to the main story (this is the first of two), that will be put somewhere around chapter 240 on RR.

I didn't want to add them before now because that would cut the final fight of the hunt in two, forcing ppl to resub to read the end of the hunt-arc, so I'll add them now instead. I will post the second POV chapter tomorro...
