Zac smiled as he let Catheya release some steam through the communication crystal. She had probably been under a lot of pressure the past days, and letting her lecture him a bit actually helped him readjust his psyche. He could feel how his mental state was a mess at the moment, a chaotic skein w...
2021-11-02 17:08:38 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: November here we go! Thanks for resubbing, and welcome new patrons!.

Zac looked at the receding backs of the Havarok army as they made their way toward the core of the City of Ancients. He briefly wondered what they would think upon s...
2021-11-01 17:23:13 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: We round out the month with lucky number seven. I hope you've enjoyed October's chapters, and that I'll see you around for November.
The release schedule will be mostly normal in November, though I will take two chapters off when this arc is completely ov...
2021-10-29 17:51:23 +0000 UTC View PostA slow but steady heartbeat echoed out throughout the void, each thump vibrating with the primordial Dao. For untold ages, the [Heart of Oblivion] grew, with each cycle inching closer to that impossible threshold.
Worlds were destroyed with a single breath, reality itself t...
2021-10-28 17:41:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Stop!” Uona screamed again, but Zac ignored her as he unleashed a storm of Creation into the sphere.
At the same time, he threw out dozens of [Void Balls] with his free hand, turning the whole area around him into a veritable minefield to hamper the vampire’s advance...
2021-10-27 17:32:22 +0000 UTC View PostPain ravaged Zac’s body as he soared through the air, and the armor of [Vanguard of Undeath] had almost completely been blown apart, prompting the skill to deactivate. A wave of despair filled him as he tried to reorient himself. His trick with the supersized [Void Zone...
2021-10-26 17:29:38 +0000 UTC View PostTwo powerful auras clashed inside the enormous chamber, but Zac’s murderous intent and Dao were undeniably surpassed by Uona’s might. It was no surprise, considering she far surpassed him both on Dao and levels. She was a true Heaven’s Chosen, and she was even able to avoid part of the Twil...
2021-10-25 17:15:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe golden orb radiated unquestionable might, dispersing the mental undulations that assailed it. He pushed down with a sneer, and it slammed into the spectral cultivators beneath, unleashing a wave of destruction in every direction. A pained wail echoed out across the field, and it was followed ...
2021-10-22 17:27:07 +0000 UTC View PostZac's eyes turned back and forth, his mind blanking out by the surprising scene. The building hadn't given off any signals at all from the outside. If not for his high Luck giving him a hint of danger, and the fact that he could sense the splinter thanks to his other remnants, he would have thoug...
2021-10-21 16:33:22 +0000 UTC View PostZac tried to take in the situation as he cleared his mind of the tremendous waves of synthetic bloodlust that crashed into his mind after drenching the previous area in blood. The castle grounds were far bigger compared to how it appeared through the vaunted dome from the outside. It felt like a ...
2021-10-20 17:03:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Time to go, Number 7,” Zac muttered, and he was answered by a bestial roar.
The chains of [Love’s Bond] rattled as the Corpselord completely consumed by rage tried to break free for the hundredth time. Zac didn’t even register the clamor any longer as he nicked the...
2021-10-19 16:01:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe clouds swirled around him as Zac observed the new patch of ruins he had entered by following the trail of blood. He was still in the outer edges of the city, judging by the illustrations he had purchased at the settlements outside. People had painted the town by capturing the snippets seen be...
2021-10-18 16:30:38 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: 2/2. Next chappy on Monday!
------
“I guess this is it,” Catheya smiled as she walked up to Zac, or rather the golem that stood at the edge of the basin.
“Looks like it. Most people seem to agree,” Zac nodded.
The whole city w...
2021-10-16 17:36:12 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: We're back! 1/2.
-------
"What in the heavens, 5,053 D-grade Nexus Coins?” Catheya said with shock, her eyes as wide as saucers. “Are your followers trying to crush the natives under mountains of wealth? Even if they seize the planet, it will...
2021-10-16 17:35:09 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Reminder, this is the last chapter until the 16th where I'll do 2 chapters over the weekend.
--------
Zac didn't know how to feel about being called a walking powderkeg, but it was hard to argue with the description after having literally b...
2021-10-08 16:17:30 +0000 UTC View PostThere was nothing else of interest in the hollowed-out mountain, so Zac immediately set out the same way he came. Besides, the invitation might be a misdirect, and it was possible that an insane bloodsucker was bearing in on his position at this very moment. If so, he would rather fight somewhere...
2021-10-07 16:32:58 +0000 UTC View PostSomething was definitely wrong. Zac was still a pretty decent distance from where he guessed the Splinter of Oblivion was located, but he didn't feel his remnants react at all, like they had when he closed in on the volcano. Neither could he pinpoint the splinter's location as he had been able to...
2021-10-06 17:11:21 +0000 UTC View PostZac looked down at the pitch-black talisman with a frown for a few seconds before he steered the submersible in another direction. The fact that someone had placed jammers in this area was extremely suspicious, and there was a high chance that it was related to him. Why else would someone bother ...
2021-10-05 16:27:42 +0000 UTC View PostZac dove into the Twilight Ocean and the scenery above was immediately replaced by a subaquatic hellscape. He had already been somewhat prepared considering the spectacle he had caused, but the pandemonium that met him was even beyond what he expected.
The whole ocean was a bubbling cauldro...
2021-10-04 17:15:49 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank you all for re-upping, and welcome new patrons! Here is a nice and calm Friday chappy!
--------------
The towering mountain and the mindbending sky of pure Dao shattered, and it was like someone had started up time again as Zac found himsel...
2021-10-01 17:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: This is the last one for September, I hope you'll enjoy it. Next month we're heading for the conclusion of the Twilight Ocean Arc, I hope to see you there!
Small October release schedule update.
No chapters 11-13/10...
2021-09-30 16:17:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe seal hiding Zac's Duplicity was broken, and he immediately began the transformation process. Soon enough he stood at the cave mouth in his human form, and he closed his eyes to once more sense the remnant energies from the Creation pulse. The supercharged life-attuned energy in the area was s...
2021-09-29 16:30:58 +0000 UTC View PostZac looked at the receding backs of Catheya and her two companions as they set course for the City of Ancients, sighing before he set out alone again in his submersible. As he looked at the empty chamber of the vessel, his thoughts drifted back to Triv’s list of necessities for cultivation. One...
2021-09-28 16:26:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Aia Ouro? The Eidolon?” Zac said with confusion. “They're the ones who have conjured the city? Are you sure?”
“They call it the City of Ancients, apparently. It appeared much closer to the Death Pulse than the Living pulse, so I’ve actually traveled around that area quite a bit...
2021-09-27 16:52:00 +0000 UTC View Post"The last thing you said?" Zac muttered as he scratched his chin. “Uh… Don’t cause trouble?”
“And what did you do?” Catheya said with a dangerous smile.
“Well, that wasn’t my fault. Uona-“ Zac tried to explain, but he didn’t get any further before he got cut off. 2021-09-24 16:24:20 +0000 UTC View Post
“It was you who maimed that lunatic!” the man exclaimed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. “Do you take our lord for a fool? Teaming up with an Imperial to fight an Imperial? What a joke.”
“You should understand that the hidden conflicts beneath the surface of t...
2021-09-23 17:07:54 +0000 UTC View PostZac panted deeply for a few seconds before he eventually ripped out the edge of [Verun’s Bite] from the brain stem of the beast. Afterward, he quickly swam up, escaping the gory soup inside the Beast King's skull. All around him, the massive den was in shambles, the walls compl...
2021-09-22 18:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostZac knew he had been too reactive until now, dealing with things as they came. But he knew he needed to start making some moves on his own, or he'd eventually get trapped in someone's schemes, be it the Eveningtide Asura or the large factions. He needed to be the spider rather than the fly stuck ...
2021-09-21 19:31:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe rampaging Twilight Energy was putting even Zac at a disadvantage as he felt dangerous amounts storming into his body even with the latent protection he had gained inside the valley. Thankfully, simply using his new-and-improved Dao Field lessened the pressure significantly, which allowed him ...
2021-09-20 16:43:09 +0000 UTC View PostZac would have preferred to enter seclusion for a few days to consolidate his gains, but he was running against the clock here. Alvod had given him one month to unblock at least one jammer, and he had already spent a good chunk of that time climbing the chasm and heading to the valley. He would h...
