BOOM!

A surge of energy shook the cave as Zhi Hao's breakthrough sent shockwaves through the surroundings. His newly acquired power radiated from his body, sending ripples of pressure into the air.

"Boss has reached Five-Star Earth King Realm… He’s truly unbelievable."

Black 4 sighed in amazement. "When will we ever catch up? We're older than him, yet in cultivation, we lag so far behind that it's impossible to keep up."

Ling Xue, listening to Black 4’s complaints, simply gazed at Zhi Hao, who remained seated in deep meditation. "That’s the difference. Talent, determination, and resources. He has all of them."

Black 3 let out a long sigh. "Maybe all we can do is rely on sheer effort..."

Suddenly, a low rumbling sound came from within Zhi Hao’s body. The golden-blue aura surrounding him slowly faded, replaced by an overwhelming sense of calm.

BOOM!

A final shockwave burst forth, shaking the cave momentarily before everything settled into silence.

Zhi Hao slowly opened his eyes. His gaz

    After the fierce battle in the Hundred Shadows Valley, Zhi Hao and his group finally found a safe place to rest. They set up camp in a small forest on the outskirts of the valley, far from the main path.That night, a small campfire crackled gently, casting a warm glow amidst the darkness. The cold night air began to settle in, but the atmosphere was far more peaceful than before.Black 3 and Black 4 sat near the fire, enjoying the simple meal they had prepared. Both of them looked relaxed after days of fighting and running non-stop."Ahh... it's been a while since we've eaten in peace like this," Black 3 said, biting into his roasted meat.Black 4 nodded. "Yeah. It feels like a reward after such a long battle."Meanwhile, Ling Xue sat a bit farther away, focused on cleaning her sword, which gleamed under the firelight. Zhi Hao stood not far from her, gazing at the star-filled sky.Occasionally, a soft night breeze carried the scent of burning wood and leaves.After a moment, Ling Xue

    The night in the small forest was eerily quiet. The campfire had begun to die down, leaving behind glowing embers that flickered softly. The sounds of crickets and the cool night breeze created a soothing atmosphere.Zhi Hao and Ling Xue remained on watch, seated on opposite sides of the fire. Occasionally, a gust of wind rustled the surrounding leaves.Ling Xue glanced at Zhi Hao, who seemed unusually focused as he observed the forest. Though the tension from their earlier awkward conversation had eased, something in Zhi Hao’s expression piqued her curiosity.“You seem more alert than usual. Do you sense something?” Ling Xue asked quietly.Zhi Hao gave a slight nod. “For a while now, I’ve felt like someone has been watching us.”Ling Xue instantly heightened her vigilance, her hand gripping the hilt of her sword, ready to act at a moment’s notice.“From where?”Zhi Hao narrowed his eyes, scanning their surroundings. “I’m not sure. But there’s a faint fluctuation of energy, as if some

    The night air remained cold, but the atmosphere in Zhi Hao’s camp was no longer as calm as before. Xiao Han’s warning had made them more vigilant.Ling Xue sat quietly near the campfire, her gaze empty as if her mind was drifting into the past. Black 3 and Black 4 exchanged glances but chose not to disturb her.Meanwhile, Zhi Hao remained on guard. His eyes scanned the darkness of the forest, trying to sense any signs of enemy movement."Jing Wu…" he muttered softly.He had never heard that name before, but if the man was from the Celestial Clan, then he was certainly not an opponent to be underestimated.Black 4 finally spoke, "Boss, who do you think this guy is? Is he really as strong as Xiao Han said?"Zhi Hao continued staring into the forest. "I don’t know. But if he’s truly one of the Celestial Clan’s best hunters, we need to be ready."Black 3 glanced at Ling Xue before asking, "Ling Xue, do you know anything about Jing Wu?"Ling Xue was silent for a moment before letting out a

    Chapter 179: Battle in the Darkness A faint chuckle echoed through the darkness of the forest, seemingly coming from all directions. No one could see its source, yet its presence felt overwhelmingly real. Zhi Hao and his team stood in a defensive formation, their eyes scanning their surroundings, trying to catch any signs of Jing Wu’s movement. "Don’t separate," Ling Xue whispered. "He will try to break our focus." Zhi Hao nodded, his grip on Qianlong firm. "He’s fast. But I can sense his energy." Black 3 and Black 4 stood back-to-back, ready for an attack from any direction. "Boss, we need to stay alert. He could strike at any moment," Black 4 said tensely. Suddenly, the night wind howled stronger, carrying a chilling presence. In an instant, a streak of light shot out from the darkness, heading straight for Zhi Hao! CLANG! Zhi Hao deflected the attack once more, but this time, he could feel the power behind it. "He’s strong," he murmured. Ling Xue frowned. "He’s testing us. J

    The Dark Storm raged on, engulfing the forest in a black energy that threatened to consume everything. The air was filled with such immense pressure that even breathing felt difficult.Zhi Hao stood firm in the midst of the storm, his hand tightly gripping Qianlong, the ancient sword that now trembled violently as if responding to the overwhelming energy surrounding it. A golden light slowly seeped from the blade, shining in stark contrast against the darkness conjured by Jing Wu.“If we let this storm continue, we’ll die,” Ling Xue said, her voice tense.Xiao Han nodded. “We have to end this now.”Zhi Hao looked at them. “I’m going to use the Heaven-Shattering Technique, but I need time to gather energy.”Black 4 immediately took a defensive stance. “We’ll buy you that time!”Jing Wu, standing in the distance, smirked behind his silver mask. “You think you can defeat me just by stalling? How amusing.”In an instant, he vanished.SRAK!Suddenly, Black 3 let out a cry. A deep wound app

    The scorched ruins of the forest stretched beneath the gray sky. The air still carried the sharp scent of ionized energy, remnants of the epic battle between light and darkness. Zhi Hao sat on the edge of the crater, his breathing heavy, his hands trembling as he gripped the now-dim Qianlong."Are you okay?" Ling Xue knelt beside him, her hand glowing blue as she ran it over his wounded shoulder. Tiny ice crystals formed on Zhi Hao’s skin, sealing the bleeding.He nodded weakly. "Qianlong… it feels like it's draining my energy."In the distance, Black 3 sifted through the debris, pulling out a shard of cracked silver. "Look at this," he called out, holding up a broken piece of Jing Wu’s mask. "The dark energy is still lingering."Xiao Han suddenly dropped to his knees, pressing his hands into the ground. "There’s something down here." He dug into the mud, pulling out a metal chain engraved with an inverted sun symbol. "The insignia of the Eternal Night Sect..."Creak!A sharp cracking

    The room grew colder, their breaths forming mist in the air. Dark shadows crept from the corners of the temple, slowly but surely surrounding them.Ling Xue swung her sword, creating an icy wall around them. Yet, the ice began to crack the moment the shadows touched it."These shadows are devouring spiritual energy," Ling Xue exclaimed, her eyes narrowing. "We need to finish this trial quickly, or we'll be drained completely."Zhi Hao stood in the center of the Dipper’s light circle, staring at seven glowing star points on the floor. "Navigate the light and find the path to the North Star... But how?"Xiao Han examined the star formation closely. "The Dipper is a guiding constellation. In ancient astronomy, the end of the Dipper always points to the North Star."Zhi Hao nodded. "That means we have to connect these points to find the direction."He raised Qianlong, and the sword began to glow with golden light. As if understanding its master’s intent, Qianlong emitted a beam that conne

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—?

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.

    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

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

    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
