After the devastating battle that had just taken place, the Skull Field became eerily quiet as Mr. Dermawan collapsed and lay on the ground. The rumbling sound of his body falling to the ground was so loud that it seemed to wake up the black crow, which had been disturbing him with its noisy voice since the beginning of the battle.

"Koak-koak!" the crow's horrified screech could be heard, and it swiftly took off into the sky, disappearing behind the clouds. The crow fled as soon as Mr. Benefactor was killed, flying towards the City of Peace.

"Don't expect you to get away," Suma Fen's cold, sharp voice rang out, followed by his body flashing faster than the crow blocking before him. Suma Fen's fingers were pointed straight ahead, his middle and index fingers forming a sword strike, piercing right through the black crow's neck.

"Sreet!" a sound similar to a knife slitting sounded thin.

The sword energy generated from Suma Fen's two fingers mercilessly decapitated the crow. When the blac

    The Roc Clan City, a jewel in the sky, is the legacy of the Roc Clan, descendants of the Eagles, legendary birds known for their incredible strength. The city is built on a towering rock, and masters of the various races in this Realm carved its unique shape.With its modern and exotic architecture, this Roc Clan city stood majestically above the clouds, providing an almost unreal sight. Except for a few groups of bird race descendants, only those with high skills could enter this city above the clouds.At noon that day, two figures were seen flying up the high cliff where Roc Clan City was located. They were Suma Fen and Mismaya, a beautiful fairy girl. With almost perfect skills, Suma Fen laughed at the challenge of climbing to a high place like Roc Clan City. Fortunately, Mismaya had a new pair of wings that allowed her to fly high through the clouds."The entrance fee is 10 Pink Elixirs per person," said one of the city gate guards, blocking Mismaya's steps with his spear."Since

    However, Suma Fen then threw ten pink Elixirs at Nokin and passed through the city gates. Mismaya immediately put on a sullen face when she saw Nokin and his friends looking so happy.They thought this young master was too spoiled and had too much money. He unhesitatingly paid ten high-ranked Elixirs just to enter Terminus City.Mismaya, with a hidden tone of grumbling, walked past Nokin and his friends. In a barely audible voice, she said,"You have no idea who my young master is. If only you knew his skill and prowess... I'm sure you'd be on your knees begging for mercy." She hissed in a hateful tone as she passed through the crowd of gatekeeping soldiers.She then held her head high, displaying the haughty demeanor of a noblewoman.As soon as the two people, the human and the elf, disappeared into the crowd in Terminus City, Nokin immediately summoned all his subordinates and started a small meeting. No one knew what their topic of discussion would be.In the midst of their little

    You look so different, Young Master," Mismaya squealed, fascinated.The young man, Suma Fen, came out of the dressing room. Laopan, the owner of the fashion shop, had selected the gray Roc woven fabric he wanted.The clothes were actually made on the spot by the shop workers, using the magical techniques of a shape-controlling wizard. The wizard instantly transformed the gray cloth into the model that the customer wanted.Suma Fen seemed satisfied with the shape-shifter's work. The cuts and models it produced were very neat and matched the model he wanted."This shapeshifting controller's skill using magic, although useless in battle, is of great benefit. This latest cut of clothes, if done by hand, might take days. But that shapeshifter woman made these clothes in just a few moments," Suma Fen thought, amazed.After that, Suma Fen and Mismaya left the fashion store and walked around the modern Atmotide City.Even before Suma Fen took her anywhere, Mismaya managed to persuade her youn

    Politely and gently, the Kinnari woman bowed in respect. Then, one person from her group was seen approaching the guests and handing out some sort of gift box as a token of appreciation for the girl's performance.Suma Fen gave over twenty pink Elixirs, having heard the story of how the Kinnari girl came to be in the Silver Continent's Magical Beast Realm. It was said that on the other side of the country, in the southeastern continent of the Silver Continent, the Kinnaras lived as celestial beings that were revered by the locals.However, this Kinnari girl suffered an unfortunate fate. She was kidnapped at the age of eleven and sold as fodder for wandering profiteers. Luckily for this Kinnari, she was bought by the owner of VillaAtmotide when she was sold in the slavery market, and then later employed as an art worker in Villa Atmotide's Tea House.Suma Fen saw the change in the Kinnari girl's expression when she saw a number of pink Elixirs in the guests' gift box. Then, the man co

    Without realizing it, all of them felt their scalps tingling and the hairs on the backs of their hands stood up.He's an expert at the Immortal Passing Realm rank," cried one of his comrades. Meanwhile, the other two looked pale—trying their hardest to fly higher and disappear behind the clouds.Too bad for the three escapees. The three crystal swords formed from the puddles of dew seemed to dart quickly after them.Without being able to let out any screams, the three escapees died on the spot as the crystal swords mercilessly pierced their backs and tore out their hearts.The opponent's technique of turning the morning dew into such a dangerous sword was rarely mastered by anyone of any race.Of course, you can all guess who the waterbender who killed the three intruders was, right?That's right, it was Suma Fen. He stared blankly at the three figures that fell freely from the cloud heights, then turned to mush when their bodies hit the rocky cliff shaped like sharp swords below.I'l

    "Do you doubt the financial capability of the young master I serve?" challenged Mismaya in a confident tone.The Aros shopkeeper silently glanced at the young man standing confidently before him. He began to assess, from the clothes the young man was wearing to his overall appearance. He knew that the fabric that made up the young man's beautiful outfit was made from a special material called Roc bird feathers, which were sold at a very high price. Not to mention that the youngster's appearance looked neat and clean, as if it had been done by the experts at the beautification shop in Terminus City."What's your name?" asked Mismaya in a slightly pressing tone."My name is Alres, miss," replied Armady, the shopkeeper, bowing respectfully."Listen carefully, Lord Alres. Immediately call the owner of this Aros shop, tell him that the young master I serve intends to buy many valuable items. This young master I serve is a very rich man and has many Elixirs. All payments will be made in cas

    With the wealth you gained after defeating Mr. Benefactor, even if you want to buy the complete Aros store and its contents, well that is a trivial thing for you"Suma Fen nodded inwardly. His question was answered. Why was this Alchemist Alrin so kind and friendly with him?"In this magical animal world, rumors and issues circulate quickly.I must be more careful in the future. I am well known in this magical land," the young man thought cautiously.+++The locked door of the room was opened by one of Lord Alrin's footmen. Suma Fen was speechless when he saw the entire room that was called a storage warehouse. Even Mismaya, who was usually talkative, was now speechless.The storehouse of Aros' shop materials which Alchemist Alrin thought was a simple item, was in fact an extremely large room. It was one of the most complete resource storage places Suma Fen had ever seen.Although he had never seen the Great Eagle Empire's treasure storehouse on the Gods' Screening Continent. But Suma

    Suma Fen was fortunate to inherit the heavenly flame. As we know, back when he set foot on the western region of the Silver Continent, SimaYong had competed with several practitioners for the inheritance of a heavenly alchemist.Within that domain, the youngster had his first introduction to the world of Alchemy and he obtained the inheritance of the Soul-Burning Black Flame. This Soul-Burning Black Flame was a Heavenly Flame that ranked number two of the five heavenly flames that many people knew about.Ranked first is the Blue Jewel Flame, then the Soul-Burning Black Flame (he already possesses this flame), the Bright Light Flame (mastered by the White Lotus Temple Sect in the God-Screening Continent), the Yellow River Flame, and the Sacred Peacock Flame.Fire was essential in refining weapons, as there were many spirit ingredients that would not dissolve when heated using ordinary fire. (The in-depth story of this heavenly fire will be discussed in the next chapter, given that Suma

    This girl had long been jealous of Sumniang's fame.The leader of the villains, a woman named Astishti, read the look on Yoshodevi's face. With a sinister laugh, she said, "Hey you!" as she pointed at Yoshodevi."I-I? What is it, ma'am?" asked Yoshodevi timidly."Come here, pretty girl," Astishti said gently, but threateningly.Yoshodevi was naturally terrified. She had seen during the battle, Astishti chew the heart of one of their guards raw. The scene was still vivid in her mind."I-I don't want to," Yoshodevi said bravely.Wush!Yoshodevi was speechless when, unexpectedly, Astishti vanished into thin air and was in front of her. Her speed was like a shadow moving beyond logic."Please... not me, I still want to..." Yoshodevi's voice trailed off, as Astishti's pale, moon-like hand pierced her chest, forcing her heart out of its socket.The poor girl from Nightingale died without fully realizing what had happened. Meanwhile, Sumniang was screaming and crying over the death of her fr

    "Magic! They're using magic!" shouted Astithi, the only female Cultivator with a seven-star Boundless Realm rank."My strength is weakening, it's as if all my Qi energy is slowing down and being sucked up by the black smoke shot out by those three villains," Astithi shouted in increasing panic.However, Astithi wasn't the only one who felt pressured and experienced the same thing. Four of her friends, Kreruk, Obydas, Epre, and Hobahin, also experienced the same thing.In fact, it wasn't just their Qi energy that was sucked up and weakened.In their view, the three hooded figures seemed to transform into giants with bodies as tall as twenty spears, which increasingly fiercely attacked them, causing booms and sand explosions everywhere."It's illusion magic," hissed Kreruk, an Armady Cultivator who had the highest cultivation."Close your eyes and don't see the illusion. Fight by listening to the sound of their movements," Kreruk whispered to his four friends.Strangely, all the movemen

  • Long Night in the Walapra Desert.

    The World Traveling Arts Troupe is an arts troupe that frequently travels from city to city in various places in the Magical Beast Realm, for the sake of performing arts. Their main focus is to perform high-end performing arts on limited entertainment stages, exclusively for royalty, nobility, and the wealthy.Baroma Lam, a male descendant of the Kinnara Bird Race, is part of this group. Kinnaras are half-human, half-bird celestial beings that exist in the mythology of certain Asian religions. In particular, they often appear in many mythological stories and tales in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, as depicted in some sculptures of Borobudur Temple.Together with the group, which had a main star named Sumniang, a girl descended from the Kinnari race (a term for Kinnara of the female gender), they left Terminus City and ventured towards Peace City.News reports said that the World Wandering Art Group was visiting Peace City to fulfill the invitation of the Four Winds Eye Ruling Cl

  • Amidst the Walapra Desert.

    Right now, as night was falling, Suma Fen stood on the back of a Griffin flying steadily through the Southern Willow forest.The youngster's dark-colored robes fluttered in the evening breeze, and he seemed to blend into the ink-dark night.He stood there, as if he was part of the darkness itself, like a shadow floating in the air.Suma Fen himself was not looking his usual self at the moment. He had changed his appearance from that of a beautiful young boy to that of a mature man—using a Clay artifact passed down by Kaku the Bijuu.As his appearance changed to that of a clean-shaven forty-year-old man dressed in dark clothing, he looked naturally his age—looking very different from his usual self.The perfection of the disguise technique of that copy of Lord Songshu's loot technique made his appearance look natural as a grown man.Meanwhile, Mismaya was also transformed into a small boy in dark-colored oversized clothes.At first, Mismaya objected to being turned into a boy, but Suma

    Suma Fen, as an Alchemist with soul power in the late stages of the DAO rank (soon to reach immortal), very easily mixed the ingredients and then distilled them with beautiful hand movements like a dance.His control over the fire for heating was excellent. Coupled with that heavenly-ranked Black Flame, it made all his refined products of high quality, almost perfect."This is quasi-perfect!" shouted Alchemist Gi Nom when he saw the result of the pleasure water mixed with Poppies, wide-eyed.He was astonished by the youngster's skill. Out of the ten distillations that the young man had done, ten large vats of wine were of quasi-perfect or half-perfect quality."How is that possible? While I, who have been working on this Poppy Flower wine project for so many years, have only produced high-ranked elixirs at best," Alchemist Gi Nom could not get enough of the young man in front of him.At first, he thought that perhaps it was because the youngster's cultivation of soul power was too hig

    Day after day passed quickly. Daylight slowly faded away, replaced by pitch-black night, which then gave way to a beautiful dawn.In the Willow Forest, black crows flew around, competing to gnaw on bodies that had been lifeless since yesterday.After the crows had pecked at the corpses piece by piece, forest wolves came and chased the scavenging crows away.However, feeling they were the first on the scene, the scavenger crows fought against the pack of coyotes. The sounds of clashing and noisy animal screeches broke the silence of the Southern Willow Forest.Suddenly, a beautiful and graceful woman of mature age emerged from behind the bushes at the edge of the forest. With well-practiced Qi-infused sword dance moves, she drove away a flock of crows and scavenging wolves.The woman executed sword techniques in dance moves, with the Heavenly Grade's minimal martial arts method. "Go away!" she shouted in a firm yet gentle voice.Every stroke of qi from the woman's hand contained a swor

    It didn't stop there.Suma Fen's eyes began to wander inside the spatial ring that had a capacity of more than half a li. Currently, his eyes were directed to the left side of the crystal ring's inner chamber, then locked onto a pile of dry goods."What are those? They look like straw and other dry materials."He was once again surprised when he examined the haystack."These are rare Lingzhi Mushrooms, Spirit Fruits, and Ginseng Roots, all at least five hundred years old," Suma Fen thought with growing excitement. "This is really a huge amount," he thought.Returning with enthusiasm, he looked elsewhere in the ring and found that there were tons of metal materials and gems, all of which were first-class materials that could be used to refine into spirit weapons. His heart was even more thrilled and happy."Come to think of it, as the City Lord of Peace City for so long, it's only natural that this Songshu has an abundance of elixirs and herbal ingredients.”“Of course, as a cunning Ka

    "Wind chakra!" Suma Fen was stunned. His wind chakra was not working in this place."Lightning!" screamed Suma Fen as he made a grab for lightning. It didn't work. All that was seen was the flickering of electric sparks."Water chakra!" the youngster again summoned water to form a sword. To no avail. All kinds of elements seemed to be blocked in this domain."Wretched, if I don't manage to kill him, then I'll be this cunning creature's meal," Suma Fen cursed inwardly.The dangerous seconds were approaching, and all of the youngster's brains were working to execute dangerous techniques.Magic against magic, physical against physical. Magic works against physicality and physicality is useless against magic. When all are matched, the result will be worth it.At this moment, Suma Fen, in a state of urgency, remembered his one heavenly item, which was rarely used."Soul-Burning Black Flame!" hissed Suma Fen.Indeed, the Soul-Burning Black Flame is a fire that can only be used in processing

  • Lord Rongon, and Lord Shongsu City – Part I.

    Rongon, who is the King of the Snake Clan, is a direct descendant of the Basilisk, a race of snakes considered the king of all reptilian creatures.His unique head, with a skull bump shaped like a crown, made Rongon always look like he was wearing a crown. Although Rongon possesses high spiritual cultivation, few know that the main power of this snake clan king lies in his eyeballs.There is a legend that anyone who looks directly into the Basilisk's eyes will soon meet their demise.Therefore, in his daily life, Rongon always wears a thin mask that protects one of his eyeballs. This mask allows him to interact and socialize with other creatures without feeling uncomfortable or disturbed.However, unfortunately, the deadly ability of the Basilisk's Death Eye is only possessed by one of Rongon's eyeballs, namely his right eye. This fact became even sadder as time went on, as many of the magical genetic advantages possessed by the Basilisk diminished in Rongon's bloodline. Even so, Ron
