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'...

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 ...

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 Da...

[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 ...

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 t...

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.
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 ...

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-si...

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 uncons...

“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.

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 nullificatio...

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 ...

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 thi...

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...

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 ...

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.

Three core skills had been directly upgraded to their E-grade equivalent without any major issues, with [Forester's Constitution] mostly staying the same and [Loamwalker] being adjusted to the point that it was given a new name. The former skill was a passive buff that boosted his Endurance and Vitality, with the peak skill adding something like an inborn insti...

A/N: Sorry for the delay! The chapter needed some rewrites.

Zac felt he had accumulated enough to give it another go at upgrading his skills, but rushing things at this juncture would create a lot of extra work down the road. The better the state of his skills were post-evolution, the less effort he'd need to spend on slowly fixing the...

Zac glared at the restricted talisman in his hand, swearing at both the wily elf and the salesman who had guaranteed 'unparallelled ability to escape even inside a sealed domain' for the talismans.
"Don't be like that. Now hurry, my only preparations can only delay the big guy for a minute," the voice of Ventus echoed through the chamber, surprising Zac.
It looked like the elf had k...

The scorching sun blasted the badlands, and the lone Bodhi was still the only island of life in an ocean of death. The punishing rays had kept the vast desert in a deathly grip for an eternity, but the sanctified tree was not content with simply enduring. It was the agent of change, the key to life in this lifeless world. Year after year a golden haze would spread from its canopy, small seeds w...

The elf was clearly gearing up for a sparring session that would push them to reach a breakthrough. However, Zac had some reservations even if the opportunity seemed good.
“Why me?” Zac asked. “If you can’t give me a proper answer I’ll have to decline.”
That was the most burning question in Zac's mind. If he was giving off clues about his situation to the young elites of...

Zac swam out of his hideout after making sure the King Eel was gone and he swiftly followed the tree trunk until he reached the canopy. It was extremely dense, to the point that Zac eventually had to cut a path through the shrubbery, making a 30-meter tunnel until he reached the other side of the tree crowns.
He left the muted world of the ocean depths behind as he was greeted by distant ...

The group of cultivators was too far away for their bounties to show up, but Zac saw the leader’s bounty as he got closer; 250-500. That was essentially the average of those who managed to reach the Hollowtongue Mountains from what Zac had seen, making the members of the group footsoldiers.
The man hesitated a bit when he saw Zac’s own value, but he still approached a bit further befo...

Zac grunted as he looked down at the deep wound in his gut and swallowed one of the Dawn-series healing pills along with a soldier pill. A large ball of hard-to-expel Dao was lodged in the wound, but there was not much he could do about it at the moment because it was time to go. He turned his gaze inward and toward the brand, and with a push of Dao he completed his preparations and crushed it ...
