The disciples quickly finished pondering further over the spells on the stone slabs and stood up four hours later, which was the time announced by the 'elders' until the barrier's opening.
At that moment, they were all positioned at the edge of that transparent energy shield, which prevented their access to that fairy-tale land outside the mountain peak where they had appeared upon enteri...

It did not take long for this information to turn into fear and apprehension among all the cultivators, especially those who had considered leaving with the others before but, for one reason or another, ...

Although, with the fall of their king, the Shadow Beasts did not flee in cowardice like normal beasts and instead continued fighting the shadow soldiers, for Aotian, everything became easier than before.
During the battle, he no...

Millions of Shadow Beasts and Shadow Soldiers, battling each other, seemed, in the end, to exist only to compose a chaotic battle serenade, adding the final touch to a tragic composition called: War.
And at the center of the northwestern zone of the camp...

Hearing the cold order echoing in their minds, Wang Mei and Kong Huang did not dare to hesitate.

'Rising Claws of the Deep Sea… a Core-Tier spell. It is basically based on gathering water-element energy to form claws for a short-range, high-damage attack.'
He analyzed it thoughtfully as the spell's energy circulation patterns fille...

His calm walk through that corridor, which had previously seemed endless, in fact did not last long, and with the fall of the last needles, the path ahead was cleared, finally allowing the end of the long corridor to be seen.
There was, in fact, a large circular hall there, and as...

Kong Huang stammered, staring wordlessly at the absurd statement uttered by the shadow king.
Normally, he would not pay much attention to something like that said by someone else, but that alien and bizarre being saying such a thing made him, unconsciously, doubt whether it could be true.
While Kong Huang reacted in shock, Wang Mei did not. She merely s...

Heavy panting echoed through the forest as a girl staggered forward. With each step, dark marks crept across her skin, spreading like a sickness she couldn't stop.
Wang Mei breathed with difficulty as she struggled to follow the trail left by the bear's body, but even that small effort already left her vision blurred and her hope faint.

Uncomfortable with the fixed, vacant gaze his master had after reading the jade slip, and which was now staring at him, Shen He ended up asking, shifting awkwardly under the intensity of that look.
His words ended up snapping old Liu out of his reverie, and he soon sighed as his mouth twitched slightly.

Sweat ran down his face, trying to lower his body temperature, which seemed to be reaching a feverish state.

It was natural for human beings to seek the easiest path and flee from hardship, and the greater the difficulty, the stronger this escape mentality became.
