A blast of swirling light shot forth and collided with a large blockade of defensive formations. It looked like a giant snapping turtle with a spiky shell after multiple smaller such formations connected with each other. Even though the creature looked massive it started crumbling under the pressure of the spiritual energy.
“We have to hold!”
“Give it your all, even if it kills you!”
Some of the cultivators inside the formation cried out in pain. Others spit out a co...

“How did it go, Mary?”
“I’m sorry Lord Arthur, I’ve failed…”
“Don’t beat yourself over it, most fail the first time around, I’m sure that you’ll make it next time…”
Arthur smiled at Mary who lowered her head. After reaching the maximum level that she could, her attempt at the tier 3 class had been a failure. This was quite normal but the maid wished to become her lord's sword for the future as fast as humanly possible. She knew that her liege also w...

Long Shen who was acting as the leading general proclaimed after his long speech had ended and no gates were opened. The other side wasn’t budging at all, no one was willing to join their side. Usually, the name of the Azure Emperor was enough to open all doors before them but this time around, they were getting noth...

“Hey, calm down, just give me a moment…”
“Awoooooo!”
Roland was looking at an over-excited ruby wolf that was jumping around his backyard. The moon was peeking out from behind some clouds and barely illuminating the night sky. Even with no natural light, the two could casually see everything. There was no need for runic lights thanks to easily produced spells that allowed for night vision.
Agni knew that today was the day that he would be allowed ...

“Open up the gates! The Emperor has made a verdict. The one called Long Dong has brought great shame to the Azure dynasty and needs to be punished for his actions. He is guilty of colluding with demonic cultivators that have sought to destroy peace in these lands!”
A loud voice echoed throughout all the lands as a man spoke out. Long Shen was his name and he was the oldest of the three children from the royal line. Behind him stood Long Fengge the youngest son and Long Yanyu the mid...

A blue shield of light pushed up into the sky. Instantly it stopped many projectiles that slammed against the protective energies. The tremendous explosions would have leveled any average building in one hit. Yet, the barrier of light stood strong without buckling under the pressure.
With the shield standing strong the ships firing could not get to the generators on the other side. Soon the people that were ordering ...

Roland looked at a small sack filled with various precious gems. After letting his calculation-related skills do the work he was given a gold price of around two hundred gold coins. For a normal person, this was quite the amount of cold hard cash but for someone that could spend more in a week, this was nothing.

Screams of thousands of people echoed through the city. Even if they attempted to run there was nowhere to go. A giant black shroud surrounded the whole city and whoever got close was shredded by unspeakable shadow horrors that resided in it. There was no escape and soon only a handful of nascent soul masters remained.
The crunching of bones and flesh being devoured by strange beasts was everywhere. Even when some of the demon...

Roland was leaning against the corner while watching Armand use the divine spell scroll he created. The spell was constructed in a way to guide itself toward undead creatures. Even if they aimed it at the ceiling the bolt would bend and fly at the giant spawning skeleton in the middle of the room.
The area he found for the three to go through had two respawning monsters with one more...

‘I made the right choice of not using that talisman. There are a lot of people here, old and young…’
Zhang Dong was in his shadowy form looking from afar. When searching for the place the teleportation talismans led to, a large settlement popped into view. There were at least a hundred thousand people here and all of them seemed to belong to various other clans and sects.
‘There are a lot of various banners. Bob, can you analyze them and give me their point of origin.’

‘Just as I expected, good job with the analysis Bob. Now, how do I handle this…’
Zhang Dong had returned to his own fortress after things had cleared up. After helping his sect push the enemy soldiers away he had some time to wind down. The respite would probably be short and he expected the next charge soon. Now that the cat was out of the bag and his enemies knew about the strongholds, they could send in a more organized force.
Thus he focused on a way of sabotaging his en...

“There was a pattern in the dungeon.”
“A pattern? I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”
“Most people don’t do things like me so they wouldn’t be able to find it.”
Roland replied to Mary who was astonished by the opening secret door before them. Inside was a small room of around twenty square meters. Right at the end was a lone chest with unknown contents. It was a secret room just like t...

Zhang Dong looked at the passed-out man in his grasp. Just a moment ago the two had been exchanging blows in the air but now the previously strong man looked like someone’s grandpa. This was already his tenth battle at the border region and the enemies weren’t really letting up.
Just as he previously expected, the man that escaped had called for some reinforcements. Even though their count...

The battle was over and Zhang Dong was looking at a particular scene playing out.

It seemed that there had been an order to not leave anything with spirit energy inside left.

A rough-looking man dressed in a dark robe nodded at the lady that greeted him. The woman’s eyes focused on his face which had a lot of scarred tissue. It was as if he was mauled by some beast and barely came out on top. There were ways of removing such wounds but perhaps the injuries were done by a ferocious demonic being which would hinder healing.
