PtM Book 17 - Chapter 54: Bloodstorm Unleashed

1/3 this week!

--

Seventeen cultivators simultaneously unleashing their auras and law projections caused the void to tremble. Spatial tempests picked up, carrying away the dregs of planar dust that were now all but useless to Cha Ming.

The laws of reality were superseded. The va...

Cha Ming use Bloodstorm Rush to flee until he was several dozen kilometers away from Oster. It was only once he was certain that his clear runes were out of range that he dared expand his Clear Rune Field and teleport to Huxian’s side...

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 52: Gathering Strength

2/3 this week.

A pulse of power filled the air as the eight largest planar fragments shattered, revealing gaping holes in space that tore apart their surroundings. The Chasewind Plane’s membrane shook and threatened to break apart while the adjacent debris field, having remained ...

Wei Longshen could think of better ways to spend his time than hiding behind large pieces of spatial debris to avoid heavy fire from fiendish artilleries. Ideally, these other things would involve music, and either tea or wine. Better company as well. View Post

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 50: The Rise of Three Moons

3/3 this week.

After three days of fighting, little was left of the defensive fortifications Oster had directed everyone to erect. They now mostly relied on large planar fragments and the natural chokepoints and cover they provided.

A platoon of ten thousand reptilian fiends ...

It was no longer possible to hide his breakthrough. And as fortune would have it—or misfortune, in this case—his “allies” still needed him. Because the demiplane was no longer collapsing, but he was. His Divine Shell was marred by a giant crack that ...

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 48: Clash of Wills

1/3 chapters this week ^^.

Dao fragments formed the core of every plane. This included mortal, transcendent, and even immortal planes. Not only did they set the rules for each plane, they also set their tone and their nature. It was impossible for two planes to have identical Dao o...

2/2 this week!

Cha Ming had grown much stronger since fusing his three energies and consuming the Flamewing Demiplane. This had several consequences, one of them being that he could no longer enter weaker planar fragments without causing them to collapse.

Though he could not ...

Book 17 - Chapter 45: The Second Fortress

2/2 this week.

The fiendish fortress was of peculiar construction, in that it was built downward into the Northern Abyss instead of on a horizontal plane like they were used to. Its only entrance was a circular door built of a strange bronze alloy aligned with earth, gold, space, a...

After forty-eight years of hard work, the battle for the Chasewind Plane had reached a tipping point. The realm’s Dao Origins had reached a critical point in their healing, and as a result, the plane would be vulnerab...

Huxian’s worries proved to be all for naught, as Oster and Cao Wenluan outright rejected Cha Ming request for a meeting. In their view, this was a competition. Collaboration would only make things needlessly complicated.

They took a day to organize everything...

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 41: Return

3/3 of this week. Enjoy ^^.

Material planes were a lot like living beings in that they required a constant influx of energy to survive. The planar membrane was where most of that energy came from, and it came in the form of primal chaos energy, which was trapped and refined through various ...

Wei Longshen flickered through the forest like a phantom, stepping on unbroken branches and lightly packed leaves, leaving no trace of his passage. Tree trunks and boulders did not hinder him, for his body had no flesh to speak of.

His destination was beneath...

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 39: Continuous Calamities

Three chapters this week, but the word count is long, so less chapters next week. I think it's worth the tradeoff though in terms of where things cut off.

Exhausted from his spiritual journey, Cha Ming left his spiritual sea and returned to his body. His inner world had reached an absolute bottleneck. It was heavy and bursting at the seams, with no room for further expansion.

The same was also true for his law ru...

PtM Book 17 - Chapter 32: Fortress


The mountains of South Blight Sanctuary were treacherous and unstable, prone to collapsing mid-battle. What water they found was poisonous, and plants that at first seemed edible reduced their energy reserves instead of replenishing them.

Years came and went, and soon, it was autumn again. Bronze and gold leaves fell like rain upon the twin mountains, covering it in a beautiful but temporary layer of decay that marked the end of the first half of their stay in the Heartforge Realm.
