Chapter 1,080.

Zac had made great progress on his Evolutionary Precursor pathways, even if his private cultivation grounds weren't at the level of what his other body enjoyed over in Kavista. Thankfully, the bigg...

Chapter 1,079.

Zac nodded at Tavza to continue, the promise of treasure making his heart beat faster. Not even upgrading his skill could compare to the prospect of getting access to the Undead Empire's stockpiles...

Chapter 1,078.

Zac sighed as the gates closed, his exhalation creating swirls in the medicinal mists around him. The ambient energy of the Cultivation Chamber, which actually was inside the trunk of an enormous t...

Chapter 1,077.

"You've captured a Zecia sealbearer?" Zac said with a frown.

Zac knew the reaver was just taunting him, but he was still worried. On paper, it should be almost impossible for him to know whoe...

Chapter 1,076.

Tavza kept her face impassive, but masking the waves in her heart wasn't easy. She knew this meeting was an opportunity Laz Tem'Zul presented, a way to tie a first string of fate between herself an...

Chapter 1,075.

A welcoming wave of Death filled every pore of Zac's body, and he took a deep breath of contentment. Only now did Zac realize he had actually never really felt the Dao of Death in this calm and nat...

Chapter 1,074.

"What's the greatest source of Faction Merit?" Zac asked.

"Conquering worlds deep in the Kan'Tanu Territory," Vilari said without hesitation. "The neutral battlefronts span three to five worl...

Chapter 1,073.

Zac looked at his second tally with a smile. Getting 125,000 merit hadn't felt too impressive when he saw it the first time, but he was far more appreciative after joining his first campaign. He'd ...

Chapter 1,072.

"What? Young master is really visiting the capital?"

"As soon as I've dealt with a few things," Zac nodded.

"What about young master's condition?"

"Things have changed," Zac said,...

Chapter 1,071.

Chapter 1,070.

Spirit Tool War Regalia were extremely expensive, high-quality ones even surpassing the price of Cosmic Vessels. It was also an issue of supply and demand. You wouldn't necessarily be able to get y...

Chapter 1,069.

The surroundings were reduced to a blur as Zac made a beeline toward the frontline. Zac's instincts urged him to emerge through the breach and unleash a massacre, but he remembered Vilari's warning...

Chapter 1,068.

Zac didn't know which of the two demons was right. Both, most likely. Some of these volunteers might be wartime opportunists. But it wouldn't be odd for many of these old warriors to stir after wit...

Chapter 1,067.

"Rating and designation?" Zac asked. "What's going on?"

"There are several facilities near every Battlefield Array," Vilari explained. "One of them is a recruitment center. You must first reg...

Chapter 1,066.

Zac sighed as he sat down to face himself. He'd check in with the creators for a shipyard-upgrading quest later, but he had too much on his place to worry about this matter right now. He'd have to ...

"How did you know about the Kayar-Elu?" Zac asked, finally expressing the question that had been burning in the back of his mind for the past hour.

"It just made sense," the Realm Spirit shru...

Hey all, the next one in the series is now out, continuing where we left off in January! Book 9 covers the finishing act of the Twilight Ascent and then takes Zac through the whole Orom Arc. A perf...

Chapter 1,063.

Zac's heart furiously beat as he looked into the smiling Realm Spirit's eyes. So Sendor knew. Had he known all this time? Had he investigated him, or had his breakthrough exposed something? Did he ...

Chapter 1,062.

'There's no Karmic link between my bodies?' Zac thought with surprise.

"How marvelous. I sensed something hidden within your body, but I didn't expect something like this," Sendor co...

Chapter 1,061.

Zac looked at his other self, or himself, with mixed emotions. The words had been born from one thought, yet they emerged from two mouths. He still couldn't believe decades of planning had been thr...

Chapter 1,060.

Lova looked at the departing clouds with marvel through the dimensional chute. She could still feel the tapestry of red on her retinas while comparing the spectacle with her own breakthrough all th...

Chapter 1,059.

Zac's body was absolutely wrung dry after enduring the tribulation, yet he felt like a million bucks as he dragged himself toward the Nexus Node. He only briefly stopped, looking hesitantly at his ...

Chapter 1,058.

Over the past three months, Zac had spent a fortune on talismans, pills, and treasures to pave the path through his Core Formation Process. The total cost was undoubtedly counted in tens of C-grade...

Chapter 1,057.

Zac released a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. Forming a nucleus obviously wasn't the same as forming a core, but it was the step that had worried him the most. If any of his theories ...

Chapter 1,056.

The pressure the Core Formation Array levied on the treasures was immense, and they sporadically released bursts of energy that shook the [Hollow Core]. It almost looked like they ...

Chapter 1,055.

The road that'd led Zac to the Daos of Life and Death was more circuitous than his connection to the Axe, marked by coincidence and outside factors. It was his battle with Mhal, the Corpselord Gene...

Chapter 1,054.

Zac flashed forward, appearing by the gates of his mansion. The powerful waves of energy greeted him by burrowing into his body, but it didn't feel like a hostile infiltration. It was akin to a gen...
