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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

  • Swordbound Chronicles   A, Four Winds Eye Clan – Part I.

    The dark night of the Walapra Desert looked like a long robe dipped in pitch-black ink, waving in eerie silence.The mottled bluish moon occasionally flickered an eerie pale light onto the thick expanse of strange and eerie snowflakes, making the sand look like an odd tapestry of pearls. Amidst the darkness, a group of human figures could be seen in a prostrate position, worshipping in deep fear.At that moment, there was another figure standing valiantly before the worshippers. He seemed to glow with an aura of majesty, with a long dark dress draped over his body, making him seem as if he were part of the night itself.Behind the figure, clouds moved slowly over the moon, leaving two points of light floating above his silver hair, poking up like a pair of silver-lit devil horns."You are safe. Please continue on your way," said the majestic figure with an authoritative voice.Baroma Lam glanced doubtfully at Sumniang, as if asking for confirmation. The two Kinnara descendants looked

    The gist of the story is:The arrival of the World Nomadic Art Group was in order to perform at a major event in Peace City. The event was a night hunt at the Ancient Ruins of Peace City, a five-yearly event in Peace City.The City of Peace, known for its beauty, is not only ruled by City Lord Songshu, a Bijuu of the Kaku clan. In fact, four major clans also have significant influence in controlling the city.These clans are known as the Four Winds Eye Clans, which can be explained as follows:"The Northern Ruler is the Yelbeghen (Chudo Yud) race Clan, which is a winged dragon race group with many heads. This northern clan, according to legend, is the descendant of the legendary Golden Witch named Altan. Altan is known to work for the ruler of the underground world," Baroma said in a tone full of mystery.(You'll remember, right? The Three Realms in Chinese Eastern Fantasy explains that there are three realms in this world. The Heavenly Realm where Gods and Asuras are born, the Mortal

    Suma Fen noticed the Kinnara man's agitation and calmed him down."You don't need to worry. I've done a scan with my mind, up to ten lies away. My psychic vision informs me that there are no other living creatures within ten lies other than our group. Then, you can continue your story, without fear of those Ghouls," Suma Fen said soothingly.Suma Fen, with a sharp and questioning gaze, added a conclusion, "Even after hearing this story of yours, I'm left wondering. Are the three black-capped creatures we met earlier the experts of the Ghoul Clan? Hmm, let's see."Baroma Lam, with a calm and dignified voice, replied, "Very well sir, Baroma will continue.""It is said," Baroma continued, "that in their cultivation training, this group of the Eastern Ghoul Clan employs the shocking dark technique of eating the corpses of humans or other creatures that transform into humans.They are fond of hiding in cemeteries and secretly touching freshly buried corpses in order to achieve both magical

    He didn’t really want to own it. But when his eyes fell on the strange rune symbols that emerged from the surface of the robe, Guo Jiang became interested and intended to possess it.Overwhelmed with curiosity, the youngster leapt up while chanting Wind Chakra. He was now seen flying on the wind—a miraculous wind rider.Suiit!His body floated in beautiful movements, his feet not touching the water at all. Guo Jiang looked like a person performing the Walking on Water Qinggong technique.Tap - tap!With his hand deftly grabbing the white robe, his body was now carried by the wind and he lightly and silently stepped onto the deck of the ship."What is that thing you picked up, Brother Jiang?" Jiayi asked curiously. Next thing he knew, the boy was standing by Guo Jiang’s side.Uncle Huang Guowei also now came over, then he observed the cloak-shaped object in Guo Jiang’s hand."Let’s take a look together. I found that there are rune symbols known only to spiritmaster experts written all

  • Autumn’s Soul-Healing Melody.

    Guo Jiang had just finished a song that the Refiner had taught him, while in the Fir Forest—on the cliffs hidden by the Northwest Territory.Unfortunately, due to the rushed nature of his learning at that time, the Gray Robe Refiner’s mentor only advised,"I can only teach you one composition from a series of four actual songs.This is the first stanza of When Autumn Comes. The rhythm of the first verse is healing in nature. When you play this soul-healing rhythm, a repairing effect will occur and create a melancholic sensation in the listener.The second stanza is Winter on the Fairy Cliff, the third When Spring Comes, and the last stanza Summer in Elf Country. Although they are healing, they can also strike and hurt one’s soul.Right now, my soul is too weak. It is no longer possible for me to gather magic energy and train you with the last three stanzas of this soul-busting song."Guo Jiang remembers well the Refiner at that time said,"If the heavens will and fortune surround you,

  • Trial of the Black Conch: Legacy or Death.

    "Human...Where did you get that thing? It is one of the Ancient Artifacts left over from our ancestors whose origin is far away in a realm that you will never meet." Despite his loud voice, Onyx showed respect for the Black Conch Artifact. He then continued."If you are the true owner of this artifact from our ancestors, show me what it does and how to play it! Impress me! I will let your group pass through and enter this Virtue Veil Island!" Onyx’s voice sounded oppressive."But... if you fail to show me how to use that thing in your hand, then death will be your reward." Onyx’s voice resembled the rumbling and crashing of waves.Of course, Huang Guowei immediately felt nervous after the Mermaid King Onyx threw down such an oppressive challenge. Huang Guowei was depressed; now the life and death of everyone aboard the Ocean Crossing ship was in Huang Guowei’s hands.It wasn’t once or twice that Huang Guowei had been in the mouth of island master Huang Guiying. The island master narr

  • The Trident’s Wrath and the Song of Salvation.

    A mighty sword aura tore through the ocean as ten Atmosphere-level practitioners thrust giant swords toward Onyx. At that moment, the waves cracked, the splashing water turning into new waves of needle-shaped foam, all menacingly aimed at Onyx.Onyx only chuckled at the attacks of the ten Atmosphere experts. He snorted out an insult. His figure remained motionless; only the trident in his hand seemed to glow, small sparks of lightning faintly appearing.Those ten Wux Clan Atmosphere experts were really reckless. That trident weapon was a Silver Artifact full of magic runes made by a Sky-level Spiritmaster expert in the past. Clearly, this was a weapon that the ten of them were no match for.The shadows of the ten practitioners traveled with the aura of giant swords. Their distance was getting closer to the Onyx Mermaid. Everyone at sea on both the Ocean Cruiser and the two Wux Clan ships held their breath."Who will win this battle?""Get ready for a big explosion."Afterward, Onyx to

  • The Peerless Lightning Sword Formation.

    Then... Duar!Lightning flashed in the sky. When that natural phenomenon captured and absorbed the command energy from the trident that was scratched into the horizon, it gave flame to the ocean on the Virtue Veil Island.The lightning that was generated from the scratch of the trident in Onyx the Ocean King's hand ignited fire in a small area in the waters of Benevolent Sapphire Island.Onyx now looked even more terrifying. He was standing on high, foamy waves, also surrounded by flames caused by the lightning effect of the Lightning Summoning Trident.At that time, the ten atmospheric rank practitioners, who had stopped their flight in the air, were all shrouded in trepidation at the appearance of Onyx the Mermaid.They looked at each other with hesitation. Should they attack the Ocean Cruiser and ignore the giant creature?"What are we going to do?" the practitioner whispered using the transmission."Is it going to continue beating up Huang Guowei and the rest of the ship, and not

  • The Lightning Summoning Trident Revealed.

    Onyx King of the Ocean emerged from the depths of the ocean. The figure stood majestically above the waves, with the background of splashing water and thunderous waves crashing one after another, making his appearance look terrifying.White in color mixed with silver, similar to and seemingly part of the froth of the crashing waves, Onyx emerged from the water. He looked so tall, like a giant creature about ten meters tall.The king of the seas stood majestically above the foam of the waves that sounded eerily like the sound of a flood. He was covered in water and crashing waves in that silvery color. Onyx looked majestic as he held a six-foot-long wooden-handled trident, a three-bladed spear.Onyx vaguely looked like a fifty-year-old man with a serious look on his face and a long silver mustache and beard. On his head he wore a silvery white crown, all adorned with sea pearls. His upper body resembled that of a human, but from the waist down it looked like an enormous fish, also in w

  • The Windmaster's Fury.

    Those words from Uncle Huang Guowei made Guo Jiang smile. Indeed, he had always hidden his ability as a Spirit of Moon ranked spiritmaster."Alright then," he replied with a modest smile.The youngster then stood apart, slightly away from Uncle Huang Guowei and Jiayi.Guo Jiang was seen forming a seal on his chest. Then, as dramatically as if the youngster changed from the friendly, everyday teenager they knew, he turned into a serious-looking, regal figure. Huang Guowei, especially Jiayi, was dumbfounded at the drastic change. But both watched silently."Controleaza Bantul!" Guo Jiang was heard crying. That was the chant of a wind summoner.Suddenly, from the direction of the sky came the rumbling sound of the wind, extremely loud and terrifying. The sound was oppressive and even more terrifying to hear than the thunderous roar of the ten atmospheric experts who were chasing behind them.The entire ship turned deathly pale as a monstrous wave as high as a hill was created after a Tau

  • The Wings of the Wux Clan.

    Uncle Huang Guowei was unable to delay his curiosity. In a loud voice he said,"There are ten Atmosphere rank practitioners with devastating force pulling two ships to move quickly after us.How can they fly? Where did they get those magic wings on their backs?" Huang Guowei really couldn’t believe his eyesight.In his eyes as a cultivator who had eaten the sour and salt of the Martial Arts world, as an ordinary human cultivating at the Atmospheric Expert level, performing the act of flight was absolutely impossible. Only an expert or practitioner of the Kaishi (Immortal Beginning) rank could fly like demigods during the heyday of the Martial Arts world a thousand years ago.(Eating sour and salt is an idiom, meaning having extensive experience.)Now that the heyday of the Cultivator era a thousand years ago has come to an end, there hasn’t been a single expert in this Silver Filtration Continent who has reached the Kaishi realm since then. Then Huang Guowei said curiously,"I wonder,

  • Battle Beneath the Waves

    It was a rushed morning. It was called a rushed morning because Guo Jiang and Jiayi had been forcefully woken up by Uncle Huang Guowei. Huang Guowei, who still had the vigilance of an Atmosphere rank expert, used his aura to check up to five li away and discovered the existence of ten Atmosphere rank cultivators, threateningly closing in on their Ocean Cruiser."My aura detection is five li away, detecting the presence of ten Atmosphere rank cultivators.(One li is equivalent to half a kilometer.)I suspect they are minions of the Wux Family Clan. It is strongly felt from the presence of the ten atmospheric experts’ auras, which are explosive and getting closer to this ship," Uncle Huang Guowei explained uneasily.The two youngsters fell silent. Facing ten Atmosphere rank cultivators at the same time was not a simple job."Then what are we going to do?" asked Guo Jiang.Uncle Huang Guowei paused for a moment."There is only one way. That is to make this ship move faster and faster tow
