Following the creaking sound that broke the silence of the red world, a figure stood in front of the door. It was a tall, slender man, perhaps barely over six feet tall. This man was probably seventy years old, but he guessed he was over five hundred.

The man's face was pretty ordinary—not handsome, but not ugly, either. His white hair was left down, with a little mustache and white beard adorning his flat face.

The clothes he wore were made of expensive satin fabric, which was made of layers of all-white color, almost matching his pale skin and face, which was as pale as the moon. That face looked cold and expressionless.

Despite having had countless encounters with various humans and other races over the years, the youngster was taken by surprise by the cold appearance before him. Without realizing it, his legs reflexively moved backward.

"Who are you? And what brings you to this Rose Castle?" a voice echoed in Suma Fen's mind, but he didn't see the person in front of him open his m

    With a look of disbelief, Suma Fen replied, "I—this... well, it's impossible. You can't be that old, right?" His hand gripped the Black Immortal Sword even tighter.The old man replied flatly, "I am over twenty thousand years old." Although Suma Fen wore a shocked expression, the old man did not care about the change on the young man's face. In reality, the words of being twenty thousand years old hit Suma Fen hard.He continued, "This place is called the 'Border.' I should have killed you when I found you in this forbidden place. But since you are the heir of the two sword kings and considering my friendship with them in the past, I decided not to take your life.""You can live here accompanying me with those thousands of coffins over there," he pointed at the rows of coffins with his eyes."Is there no way out of here?" asked Suma Fen frantically."No! There is no way out of here. You will be here forever. Maybe I'll even consider you my successor, as a 'Guardian'! Guardian is my na

    Unlike Elves, who only need to die and then sail to the afterlife, you need to know that when Elves reach the Enchanted Land, they will not retain the cultivation they had when they died. Everything will start from zero: a new body, a new mind, and a new cultivation..." Suma Fen took careful note of this explanation. Only now did he truly understand what an immortal was and its benefits."That's why I accepted the job as a guard, living in a world where time has come to a standstill," the Guard explained. "Then, the Judges and Angels of Wonderland, who took pity on my condition—not immortal but also nothing—offered me a job as a Guardian in this Border world, guarding the bodies of thousands of practitioners who died when they failed to break through to become Immortal.""Here, my age seems to have come to a standstill due to the miraculous actions of the Angels and Judges of Wonderland. My age was consumed when I had to go to the world, pick up practitioners who failed to become immo

    Suma Fen became highly grateful. Cultivating in this Red Realm, apart from cutting down on time, he felt as if he had been bestowed with the incomparable gift of the Scarlet Rose.The passage of so much time had also changed the young man's appearance. Although his age seemed unchanged—like two months of growth—the growth of his hair, beard, and mustache had visibly adorned his youthful face.As a result, aside from his more mature demeanor, at first glance, one would hardly recognize him as Suma Fen with that mustache and beard. He even looked like a noble—a hermit."Twenty years in this Red Frontier World, my dantian has been in turmoil. Soon, the stronghold of my dantian will be breached; the half-immortal world is in sight," the young man thought. His lips curled into a smile—he smiled happily.+++Silver Continent, Western Region.The appointed time, according to the agreement between the Eastern Empire and its alliance with the Western Region against the Northern Region, had pas

    Tuiiitt!The sound of a flute rang out, sinking deep into the heart as if breaking the silence.The birds of the forest flew around chaotically, disturbed by the rhythm of the flute, which was becoming increasingly oppressive by the day. The girl's face paled as if the sound of the flute had sucked her blood out. Without hesitation, she immediately handed over her baby to the ascetic man. A sword was drawn, gleaming like silver in the moonlight."The rhythm of death," the girl hissed hoarsely, full of fear.Soon, the flute's sound turned low and became silent. A single figure stood floating halfway up the willow tree, staring coldly at the girl. Its cold aura seemed to pierce through her bones."M-Mao Ren Hao..." the girl's voice stuttered, choked with fear.In front of her, hovering with a cold gaze, was a man wearing an all-black tunic, with hair as black as ink and an ordinary appearance but a powerful aura. He was quite young—around 30 years old—yet so young that he could play the

    He deliberately emphasized "Demon Race Clan" so the ascetic would be scared upon hearing his clan's big name. So far, their Demon Race Clan had dominated the West, so any practitioner in the Western region would think a hundred times before crossing people associated with their clan.However, Mao Ren Hao was surprised that the young ascetic wasn't startled at all; instead, he just smiled blandly. The ascetic, like other wise men, said..."It is not good for a man to kill his baby—his flesh and blood. You must repent because your actions will anger even the demons in hell." His face had the serene look of a saint.Mao Ren Hao was shocked. In his entire life, this was the first time a simple person had given him advice and considered his actions wrong. All this time, everything he did was according to the instructions of his Demon Clan ancestor. No one dared to blame his ancestor—the current Supreme Leader of their Clan.With a face filled with anger, Mao Ren Hao stood up straight. With

    A breathtaking battle unfolded before the eyes of two small children."Let go of that ice rose, or it will be your memories that you will carry, demon! Besides, why should a despicable figure like you defile our Ice region?" Cold sounded the grey-white-robed man's voice.Meanwhile, the man's aura refreshed the surroundings and formed a freezing cold snow. His hand was pointed straight ahead while holding a long sword that continued to emit icy vapour."Hehe, so you're Suma Chen, an Elven noble. Don't be so haughty. I see this plant lying in vain like a field of ice roses. There's nothing wrong with me picking a bunch for someone's medicinal purposes.""You have no sense of humility at all. Fine, I will compensate you accordingly.""We urgently need this ice flower to treat someone important in the Western region," replied the black figure in a low tone almost like a whisper. However, faintly visible behind the black smoke, a masked face with horns on its head, flashed a mocking smile

    Yi Zan looked at the admiring Yuan Fen. He was getting more and more confident and fiery. Yi Zan rarely got any attention. Kioni saw that Yuan Fen was amazed by his explanation, and Yi Zan immediately shared all his knowledge."All of his weapons are engraved with the greatest Technique symbols, so that his armour, gloves, shoes, and weapons all have their abilities increased by 70% after he inscribed inscriptions and power symbols on all of his weaponry," Yi Zan explained. Yuan Fen listened in awe, letting the story of the great Sword King Rank Ruler flow."In the Western region, at that time the region had a Sword King who used the blood element for his cultivation, and the Sword King was from the demon race. Their race were dark cultivators who were extremely dangerous and were avoided by most cultivators. Dealing with dark cultivators of the demon race from the West was extremely risky. All of these demon races have small horns on their heads and often wear masks to cover their fa

    Ice-shaped Qi energy, resembling sharp snow lotus beads, thrown at high speed from Suma Chen's sword tip towards Duan Anming's chest turned hundreds of ice lotuses gliding towards Duan Anming."Go away...!"Duan Anming shouted, and his body spun like a whirlwind, releasing dark and perverted spirits from the tip of his short sword. The spirits glared and opened their mouths, brutally swallowing all the lotus petals.What a meaningless attack," Duan Anming mocked.However, just as he finished speaking, the shadow of a sword beam approached his neck with the speed of a reaper. With a strange speed, the sword beam was suddenly in front of his eyes, delivering a deadly slash to his neck. This was accompanied by a gust of icy vapor that carried murderous air, leaving him asphyxiated.Duan Anming released Qi and formed a dark shield to protect himself from the strange attack. He slid backwards, away from the mysterious attack."Insolent! This Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique is strange

    ...ARC 8. The struggle for the title of supreme...Suma Fen awoke from his sleep on a dry land filled with rocks and hills. As far as the eye could see, everything looked like a dry, reddish-colored expanse of rocky soil, carrying a terrifying aura. This world was absurd, lonely, and dimly lit, with not a single living thing to be found.The only natural lights in this strange world were the moonlight, which looked full like a full moon, and the twinkling stars in the distance. He looked up and gazed at the clear sky—without moving clouds like in the human world. As for the air? Of course, under such circumstances, everything felt cold there. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the moon's energy.(Later, he would finally discover that in this world—this red world has never experienced daylight.)"Am I dead?" he thought.However, when he checked his entire body condition, he started by trying to flow energy from his dantian and then throughout his meridians, "Everything is fine.

    The wind was blowing very hard inside the portal room. Hair and all floating objects fluttered in the storm."Keep holding on to each other; don't separate!" shouted Suma Fen.He tightened his grip on the Phoenix's neck while Atid tightly held the Elephant's neck, and the Elephant's trunk wrapped securely around the Phoenix's legs."How long will it take us to move through this portal?" shouted Atid."No more than an hour," Suma Fen replied."Perhaps in about a heartbeat, we will land at the opening portal in the western region of the Silver Continent.""Alright!" replied Atid with satisfaction.Meanwhile...While engrossed in their shouting match, none of them realized that a small explosion had occurred at the very front of the time tunnel, creating sparks.The Phoenix was the first creature to notice the sparks. The mythical creature began to twitch restlessly, sensing an ominous premonition.The Fire Phoenix began to scream at the top of her lungs—repeatedly screaming with a whoos

    The jet of water that came out of the snout of Ryu, the water dragon, instantly froze and turned into sharp, long ice crystals like swords.There were more than five thousand menacing flying swords—locked and ready to roast Bai Chan Cheng into frozen meat."Dead! I'm dead!" Bai Chan Cheng resigned himself and closed his eyes.The flute-like voice of the Elf once again sounded melodious, "Enough! Stop it!"Bai Chan Cheng opened his eyes slowly. He saw the thousands of ice swords standing still. Then they melted and fell to the sand in the form of liquid. Bai Chan Cheng broke out in a cold sweat, with grain after grain dripping down his forehead.After a while, everything became quiet. Slowly, Bai Chan Cheng said, "Lord Baron Wei, please tell me your terms. I will inform our emperor."The Elf remained silent with an expressionless face. Then he said, "Tell your Emperor. A year from now, a practitioner from our northern country will represent us in competing with the most vigorous practi
