The atmosphere around the Ancient Tomb Ruins turned into a field of intense tension. The auras of experts from various clans and sects mingled, creating a pressure so heavy that it made the air feel suffocating.

Zhi Hao and his group stood at a strategic distance—not too close but positioned well enough to observe every move of their competitors. Ling Xue’s keen eyes scanned the surroundings, her hand reflexively resting on the hilt of her sword.

“Entering the crowd now would draw too much attention,” whispered Black 3. “We should wait for the right moment.”

However, Zhi Hao raised his hand, signaling them to stay alert but avoid rash actions. “No need to rush. Let the impatient ones clear the path. If we go in first, we’ll only make ourselves targets.”

On the other side, Huai Cheng stepped forward confidently, disregarding the disdainful glances from other Young Masters. Backed by five Earth King Realm experts, his demeanor was unshakable.

“The path is open,” Huai Cheng declared loud

    Zhi Hao glanced behind, ensuring his group stayed together. "Stay alert. This place might not be as straightforward as it seems."Ahead, the corridor split into two paths. Zhi Hao’s Dragon Perception revealed that one led closer to the center of a powerful energy, while the other was shrouded in an aura of danger.“We’ll take the left,” Zhi Hao said firmly. “The energy there feels more stable.”The group followed his lead, moving cautiously but swiftly. The sounds of battle from the main path grew fainter, replaced by an oppressive silence.At the end of the corridor, they found a massive door adorned with carvings of a dragon and a phoenix, glowing faintly in the darkness. The ancient aura emanating from the door was so overwhelming that Ling Xue shivered.“This is our destination,” Zhi Hao said, his voice full of certainty. “Prepare yourselves. Whatever lies beyond this door is either immensely valuable or extremely dangerous.”Zhi Hao stood before the door, his eyes scanning the in

    The tension in the chamber thickened as Zhi Hao's group remained on high alert. Meanwhile, Huai Cheng and his guards approached the altar confidently. The oppressive aura from both sides clashed, saturating the air with palpable tension.Zhi Hao gave Ling Xue and Black 3 a subtle signal to stay vigilant. Qianlong whispered again in his mind.“Let them go first. Their arrogance is their downfall. If the trap is triggered, you'll have a chance to act.”Huai Cheng stopped in front of the altar, staring at the glowing orb with greedy eyes. “A pure energy core… This must be a treasure capable of altering anyone’s destiny. With this, the Huai Clan will rise even further in the cultivation world.”One of his guards, a burly man wielding a massive sword, hesitated as he approached the altar. “Young Master, this energy feels overwhelming. I recommend studying the formation first.”Huai Cheng shook his head. “You're overthinking it. If we delay, they”—he cast a disdainful glance at Zhi Hao—“mig

    Zhi Hao and his group emerged from the main chamber, panting heavily. The sound of collapsing rubble echoed behind them, like a final warning from the ancient place. However, their relief was short-lived.The corridor they had entered suddenly branched into several paths, each shrouded in a faint golden mist radiating an enigmatic aura.“What is this?” Black 3 muttered, narrowing his eyes as he tried to pierce through the mist.Ling Xue, standing beside him, examined the surrounding energy carefully. “This isn’t an ordinary corridor. The energy here... it feels like a spatial formation. If we choose the wrong path, we might never return.”Qianlong’s voice resonated in Zhi Hao’s mind, sounding more serious than ever.“This is the Trial of Divided Fate. Each path leads to a different destiny. If you choose wisely, you’ll find the core of this Tomb. But if you’re reckless, you’ll be lost forever.”Zhi Hao took a deep breath, trying to remain calm under the mounting pressure. Activating h

    The grand hall was filled with an oppressive silence. The dragon and phoenix carvings on the walls seemed alive, as if they were observing every move made by Zhi Hao's group. Though they had endured the grueling trials of the separating corridor, the atmosphere here offered no respite.Zhi Hao gazed at the black sword in his hand. The blade appeared simple, unadorned by any extravagant embellishments. Yet its energy felt dense, as if it harbored a power capable of destroying anything.Ling Xue approached, her eyes fixed on the sword. “That sword… Are you sure about your decision?”Zhi Hao nodded firmly. “This isn’t about right or wrong. It’s about taking control of my destiny. This sword symbolizes my path.”Black 3 interjected, his gaze sharp. “So, what’s our next move? This place clearly holds more mysteries.”Before Zhi Hao could answer, the floor beneath them trembled slightly. A bright light emerged from the center of the hall, forming a teleportation circle etched with dragon an

    The Dragon and Phoenix Palace stood majestically before them. Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, but the heavy aura emanating from within reminded Zhi Hao and his group that this was no ordinary palace. An ancient power resided here, waiting to test them.As they stepped inside, the grand main hall greeted them. At its center stood a massive altar, glowing with a dazzling golden light. Atop the altar rested a large golden crystal, radiating a searing heat that enveloped the entire room.“The Solar Crystal,” Ling Xue whispered, her eyes sparkling with awe. “This must be the core of this Tomb.”Black 3 stepped forward, but Zhi Hao quickly raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t act recklessly. This place is undoubtedly protected.”Qianlong’s voice echoed in his mind. “Indeed. The Solar Crystal is an artifact of immense power. Approaching it without completing the final trial will only bring destruction.”As if in response to this warning, the walls around them began to glow. The images of dragon

    The morning breeze gently brushed Zhi Hao’s face, carrying the fresh scent of dew—a gift after a long and grueling journey. They had emerged from the Tomb of the Dragon and Phoenix, but the sense of relief lasted only a moment. Zhi Hao knew their struggles were far from over.The Solar Crystal in his grasp radiated a peculiar warmth, as if it were alive. Its aura felt like waves of power constantly flowing into his body. Ling Xue and the others stared at it with mixed expressions—admiration, weariness, and curiosity mingled in their gazes.“You know this will bring trouble, don’t you?” Ling Xue’s soft but concerned voice broke the silence.Zhi Hao nodded without hesitation. “I know. But this isn’t something we can just ignore. It’s far too valuable to fall into the wrong hands.”Black 3 stepped closer, scanning their surroundings. “I doubt this is over. If Young Master Huai made it out alive, he’ll surely come after us.”“He’ll make it out,” Black 4 said flatly. “People like him have

    Black 3 and Black 4 had cornered their two opponents. With perfect coordination, they attacked simultaneously, creating pressure their enemies couldn’t withstand. One enemy fell after the combined strike of Black 3's "Shadow Strike" and Black 4's "Thunderous Blow" smashed into his chest.Ling Xue, supporting from the rear, saw the enemy's defenses weakening. She created an even larger ice spear and hurled it at the last enemy attempting to escape. The spear struck the ground in front of him, sending a wave of frost that froze him in place, rendering him immobile.Zhi Hao noticed the battle was nearly over. Gathering all his strength into his Black Sword, he unleashed a crescent-shaped dark energy slash that sped toward the enemy leader.The leader attempted to block the attack, but his spear couldn’t withstand the full power of the strike. The weapon snapped in two, and the energy wave slammed into his body, throwing him several meters backward.The leader staggered to his feet, his f

    Clang!Black 3’s sword clashed against the spear of his opponent, sparks flying from the impact. “Too slow!” he taunted, spinning and driving his knee into the enemy’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.On the other side, Black 4 charged forward, his fists colliding with his opponent’s shield in a thunderous blow.Bang!The force of the punch shattered the ground beneath them, forcing the enemy to stagger backward.Standing at the rear, Ling Xue’s expression was cold as ice. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a rain of ice spears that shot toward two of her enemies.Swish! Swish! Swish!The spears struck the ground, erupting into frozen explosions that froze everything within their reach. One of her enemies tried to escape, but a spear pierced his leg, rooting him in place.Meanwhile, Zhi Hao faced the woman with the purple sword.Clang!Clang!

    ZRAASSHH!The sky trembled violently. Zhi Hao's aura changed drastically—or rather, it was the aura of the Qianlong Sword, now taking control of his body. His eyes gleamed gold, his hair flowing wildly as raging energy surged around him.First Disciple, Ham Ra, narrowed his eyes. “So, you’ve truly taken over his body?”Qianlong stared at him sharply. “I had no choice. If I let you live any longer, this world will be destroyed sooner than it should be.”Ham Ra scoffed and raised his hands. Dense black energy enveloped his body, forming a shadowy armor that seemed fused with his soul.“I want to see if you’re still as strong as before, Qianlong Sword.”BOOM!Ham Ra shot forward with speed almost impossible to track.But—CLANK!His attack was stopped effortlessly by a single finger from Qianlong.Ham Ra's eyes widened. “What—?!”Before he could react, Qianlong had already moved.DUARRR!A golden energy wave exploded from his body, forcing Ham Ra back dozens of steps.Qianlong raised his

    Silence.Xuan Ji, Rin, and Tie Shan stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Zhi Hao from three directions. Even though they had just witnessed their Dark Hand Technique being shattered effortlessly, they were not fools who would retreat without a fight."Let's finish this together!" Xuan Ji shouted.Without hesitation, the three of them charged at once.BOOM!Tie Shan swung his giant sword from the front, creating a shockwave that shattered the ground around him.At the same time, Rin moved like a shadow, circling to Zhi Hao's left with incredible speed, her dagger aimed at his vital points.Meanwhile, Xuan Ji stayed at the back, forming a complex seal with his hands before unleashing the Deadly Shadow Technique—a dark energy attack capable of paralyzing an opponent instantly.Their coordination was flawless.There was no escape.But Zhi Hao simply stood still.Until—WHOOSH!In a fraction of a second before their attacks landed, Zhi Hao vanished.Tie Shan's eyes widened. “What—?

    The thick night air trembled under the overwhelming pressure of the three Night Shadow executioners. Yet, standing before them, Zhi Hao remained unmoved, his expression calm, as if completely unaffected.Tie Shan, impatient, stepped forward, swinging his massive sword into the ground with a thunderous boom. “I don’t care who you are! Tonight, I’ll show you true strength!”In an instant, he lunged forward, his speed defying his massive build. The colossal sword sliced through the air, sending a violent gust that shook the ground.BOOM!The attack struck the earth with devastating force, creating a massive crater. But—Zhi Hao had vanished.Tie Shan’s eyes widened. “What—?”WHOOSH!Before he could react, a shadow flashed behind him. A chilling sensation crept up his spine.SLASH!Blood sprayed from his arm. He stumbled back with a shocked gasp, eyes locking onto Zhi Hao, who now stood behind him, his sword gleaming under the moonlight.“You’re too slow,” Zhi Hao said coldly.Tie Shan gr

    Black 4 dropped to one knee, his sword embedded in the ground as his only support. His breaths were ragged, wounds multiplying across his body. Blood dripped onto the earth, mixing with dust and scattered leaves.Around him, enemies still stood. Some were wounded, some had fallen, but those remaining still far outnumbered what he could handle in his current state.The man in the purple robe stepped forward, his face filled with satisfaction. “Enough. You’ve lasted longer than I expected. But this is the end.”He raised his hand, giving the final signal. Several men prepared to lunge, their weapons gleaming under the moonlight.Black 4 exhaled. Was this really the end?But before the attack could land—WHOOSH!A shadow streaked through the air. A flash of silver sliced through the darkness, and in an instant—SLASH!Two men fell silently, blood spraying from their wounds.The purple-robed man’s eyes widened. “What—?”The figure landed in front of Black 4, standing tall with an aura tha

    Explosions echoed through the forest. Trees trembled, leaves scattered, and the ground quaked from the overwhelming clash of energy.Black 4 stood amidst the swirling dust, his sword still vibrating from the force of his last attack. His breathing was slightly labored, but his eyes burned with determination. In front of him, the man in the purple robe remained standing, only having taken a slight step back.The man smirked. "You're strong. But... are you strong enough to survive alone?"Black 4 said nothing. He already knew the answer—because he truly was alone.Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Zhi Hao sat silently in his headquarters. Ling Xue and Black 3 stood nearby, awaiting his orders. One thing was clear—no allies were coming to their aid.Ling Xue sighed. "They're all just watching."Black 3 clenched his fists. "Cowards. They're waiting until one side weakens before deciding who to support."Zhi Hao closed his eyes briefly, then gave a faint smile. "It doesn't matter.

    Night descended with a tense silence. The air felt heavier than usual, as if carrying an ominous premonition lurking within the darkness.Standing on his balcony, Zhi Hao gazed at the dimly shining moon. His sharp eyes reflected the swirling thoughts in his mind.Black 3 appeared behind him, speaking in a low voice. "They've made their move."Zhi Hao nodded slowly. "As expected. After today's incident in the arena, they can no longer afford to wait."Black 3 handed him a small piece of paper. "A message from Ling Xue. She has traced the individuals targeting the Heaven-Shattering Codex. They’ve entered the city in small groups, scattering to avoid drawing attention."Zhi Hao read the message and then folded it back. "They're careful, but they've overlooked one thing."Black 3 raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"Elsewhere, in a secluded inn at the city's outskirts, a group of figures sat around a wooden table. The flickering lantern light cast shifting shadows on the walls.At the center

  • Chapter 194: Chaos in the Arena

    The midday sky stretched vast, thin clouds drifting lazily, while below, the Zhi family’s training arena bustled with dozens of people practicing. Some engaged in sparring duels, while others focused on breathing techniques to enhance their energy.Yet, amidst the seemingly ordinary atmosphere, tension slowly crept in.In the main stands, Zhi Hao sat calmly, accompanied by Black 3 and several elders. He observed the ongoing duels with a neutral expression, but his mind was working swiftly.“Any movements?” he asked quietly.Black 3 nodded. “Ling Xue successfully thwarted their kidnapping attempt last night. Black 4 also reported an encounter with a group of assassins at the border before managing to escape.”Zhi Hao tapped his chair’s armrest with his fingers, his gaze sharp. “They’re getting bolder.”Before Black 3 could respond, a loud noise suddenly echoed from the center of the arena.Boom!The ground trembled as one of the disciples was sent flying, landing harshly after being st

    The sharp sound of swords slicing through the air echoed in the dark forest. The man in the purple robe felt a chilling presence as Black 4's blade neared his neck.However, just before the sword could strike, the robed man's body suddenly dissolved into shadows and vanished.Srak!Black 4’s blade sliced through nothing but empty air."Shadow techniques as well?!"Before he could react, a whisper came from behind him."You're fast, but I'm far more accustomed to the darkness."Black 4 immediately leaped forward, dodging a counterattack that nearly pierced his back. He twisted midair, landed on a tree trunk, and propelled himself back to the ground in a defensive stance.From within the shadows, the robed figure emerged once more, his eyes gleaming with intrigue."You're more interesting than I expected. I thought Shadow Fang only had ordinary assassins, but it seems I was mistaken."Black 4 remained silent, his eyes scanning for an opening.The man smirked. "Unfortunately, I don't hav

    Deep within the dark forest, Black 4 stood still, his sharp eyes scanning the hooded figures now surrounding him. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, glinting off the blade of his slowly unsheathed sword."You think you can stop me?" His voice was low but carried immense pressure.One of the hooded figures stepped forward. "You don’t have to struggle. Give us information about Zhi Hao, and we will spare your life."Black 4 smirked coldly. "You think I would betray the Young Master?"Without warning, he lunged forward, his sword slicing through the darkness. Srak! A sharp sound echoed as one of the hooded figures fell before they could react.The others immediately sprang into action, drawing their weapons. Some wielded daggers, while others unleashed energy attacks from a distance.Black 4 dodged nimbly, leaping back before twisting in mid-air. His sword danced, reflecting the moonlight as he swiftly took down another opponent.But just as he prepared for the next strike
