Chapter 40: Wrath [2]As the days slipped away, ten sunrises and ten moonlit nights marked the passage of time. Half a month had elapsed since Arthur had received the invitation from the sky palace, and he found himself standing atop a rugged mountain peak.The wind howled around him, tugging at his cloak and rustling his disheveled hair. The mountain, reaching towards the heavens, seemed to mirror the heights of Arthur's own turbulent emotions. His gaze, fixed on the distant horizon, was a mixture of determination and anticipation.From this vantage point, Arthur could see the world spread out before him. The sprawling landscapes, the shimmering rivers, and the vast expanse of forests and plains were all part of the tapestry that he had fought to protect. But there was more to his journey than mere conquest and revenge. He had come to understand that true strength lay not in the annihilation of his enemies, but in the preservation of the world he held dear.Taking a deep breath, Arth
Chapter 41: Wrath [3]The ground beneath the combatants' feet quaked with an intensity that sent tremors rippling across the mountain's surface. From the epicenter of their clash, a fissure began to form, its origin hidden by a cloud of dust and debris. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, a man-sized tunnel emerged, its walls jagged and uneven, as if carved by the very wrath of nature itself.A cacophony of crushed rocks cascaded out from within the tunnel, their once-solid forms now pulverized into a fine, ethereal powder that danced upon the howling winds. The dust billowed upward, engulfing the surroundings in a haze of grit and obscurity, shrouding the mountain in an otherworldly cloak.As the dust swirled and settled, the true extent of the tunnel's creation came into view, an awe-inspiring spectacle that defied comprehension. In the blink of an eye, the tunnel spanned from the apex of the mountain to its very core, as if a colossal serpent had burrowed its way through the heart of the
Chapter 42: Wrath [4]"Your reign ends here, Earth deity!" Arthur's voice echoed with unwavering conviction. "I will show you that mortal determination can surpass even divine might!"The Earth deity's face contorted with a mixture of rage and disbelief. "You... you dare defy me? I am the earth incarnate! No mortal can defy me!"But Arthur's determination knew no bounds. With a final surge of strength, he unleashed a devastating strike, his sword tearing through the Earth deity's defenses. A resounding crack filled the air as the deity's heavy sword shattered under the impact.The Earth deity stumbled backward, his eyes wide with shock. "Impossible... how can a mere mortal... defeat me?"Arthur stood tall, his breath ragged but his spirit unyielding. The weight of his triumph bore down upon him, the realization that he had overcome a deity sinking in. He looked into the Earth deity's eyes, his own filled with a mix of compassion and determination."Even the mightiest of gods can be hu

Chapter 44: The Crimson Sky Sutra"Indeed, the grandeur of the sky palace is quite impressive," remarked one of the visiting elders from a different sect, his gaze sweeping across the opulent decorations. However, his expression soured as a foul stench assaulted his senses. With a swift turn to his left, his eyes landed upon a disheveled figure, clad in rags and drenched in blood. This beggar-like individual was a mere fifth ascension cultivator, someone who had barely reached the pinnacle of that realm. How dare he venture into the sacred grounds of the sky palace! It was a blatant act of self-destruction, an invitation to meet his own demise.The elder's eyes narrowed with disdain, his voice dripping with condescension. "You, who barely possess the strength of the fifth ascension, have the audacity to set foot in the sky palace? It seems you are eager to meet a swift and brutal end."The beggar-like figure, undeterred by the elder's words, raised his head, revealing eyes filled with
