Chapter 1,293.

Zac would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. The memory's restoration wasn't as magical as Sendor winding back time to erase another Supremacy's attack. It was closer to a large-scale blessing of a support class. Still, the power required to stabilize a whole world was no joke. Roan had gone ...

Chapter 1,292.

Zac's greed-induced confidence came under attack as the tribulation clouds grew stronger without end. They soon surpassed the levels Zac faced when stepping into Late Hegemony and showed no signs of stopping. There being no hint of the Four Desolates wouldn't matter when the amount of lightning a...

Chapter 1,291.

Zac tried and failed to find any clues on the Earth Child's face. It remained as impenetrable as before, and the boy's aura remained that of a juvenile who had yet to start their cultivation. His weak appearance couldn't erase Zac's feeling of being seen through. The boy had ignored Tam's attempt...

Chapter 1,290.

Powerful faith fluctuations and heretics. Zac couldn't help but notice the similarities to his experience in the previous memory domain. Could this be a similar event, perhaps even the same one? Were the rebels trying to escape with the loot by setting a forest fire?

Another set of explosio...

Chapter 1,289.

Zac trudged through the deadly duochrome. The dusty winds were red-hot with nature's wrath. Its everchanging shape was a stark contrast to the utter stillness of the ground. The storm had buffed the ground into a perfectly flat obsidian mirror. Its enduring silence was reminiscent of the Abyssal ...

Chapter 1,288.

The unyielding brutality of Zac's Evolutionary Dao couldn't so much as break the palm's skin. Instead, it was Zac who was flung back dozens of meters by the recoil. Around him, hundreds of trees collapsed without warning. For an outsider, it might have looked like the jungle crumbled on its own. ...

Chapter 1,287.

Rhuger silently observed the lands ahead from his spot halfway up the solitary mountain. The snaking rivers suspended in the air kept the lands below in a state of perennial dusk, and Rhuger's own Dao of Darkness let him perfectly meld with the surroundings. Even the denizens born in the gloom wo...

Chapter 1,286.

Another mark. Carl carefully investigated the scarring on the mountain wall. He estimated the battle took place just over a week ago. It was enough to conclude two things. One, they were indeed heading toward the Farsee Court. Secondly, Carl was catching up with them. The earliest traces he'd dis...

Chapter 1,285.

A/N: A belayed thank you for re-upping and welcome new Patrons!
----------------

Joanna clearly wanted to test her strength against the Indomitable Courts and find out if the Emperor's Spear had left something for her. Zac also knew that the threat of death would never m...

No chapter today.

Hey all. I wish I had better news here at the start of the month. I've been in a small accident. It's nothing too serious, but I won't be able to release a chapter today. We should be back on Friday, and I'll release the missing chapter later this month. Hopefully next week.

Chapter 1,284.

A/N: And that's it for September! I hope you've enjoyed the return of DotF and the start of the Ultom Arc! I hope to see you here next month!

"Found it!"

Zac looked down the 100-meter deep chute dug on his orders. The scout and her ...

Chapter 1,283.

"I have no relationship to the theft you mentioned," Zac said. "As for why I triggered your treasure, I'm not at liberty to say."

Declaring himself a Holy Son had a huge chance of backfiring. He'd amassed no Imperial Faith and no item to corroborate his claim. He couldn't replicate the reso...

Chapter 1,282.

Zac's grand prize for finishing the Flamebearer seal was [Void Emperor Apotheosis], the unified method meant to incorporate his whole path. It was the best outcome of the multiple directions Zac had considered taking his increasingly unwieldy cultivation. He hadn't even been conv...

Chapter 1,281.

Zac had brought three long-range trackers into the trial to find his companions. One was the official device provided by the Undead Empire for their mission. Zac had left that tracker in a danger zone shortly after arriving. It had most definitely been tampered with, and there was no way he'd car...

Chapter 1,280.

"It's clearly the Stormwall Tor like the map said. But why is it here? Where's the Emerald Sea?" Esmeralda muttered. "It'd be one thing if it dried out. But this…"

Zac nodded in agreement, taking out the map he'd gotten from Mayor Truga. The huge pillar crackling with lightning was marked...

Chapter 1,279.

The Abyssal pools filling up Zac's cells darkened to more closely resemble the real thing. Their width expanded far beyond what should be possible, eventually fusing with the ponds in neighboring cells. Soon, there was nothing else. He was no longer Draugr. He'd become the Abyss. It was boundless...

Chapter 1,278.

It was impossible not to have heard of Zenith Elixir during the gathering. Truga Ur himself mentioned it in passing. It was Black Zenith's most famous product, and having a monopoly on its concoction was an important reason for Truga's unshakeable position. There were multiple stronger Monarchs i...

Chapter 1,277.

Zac's confusion only grew as the Monarch led him through the city, happily introducing its various aspects with uncomfortable deference. The tail of curious onlookers only grew, and Zac soon started to feel like a zoo animal. It was clear that he'd borrowed Terea Wendimar's identity, explaining t...

Chapter 1,276.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready enough for some exploration," Zac smiled at Esmeralda's eager expression. "What's left won't be solved in a day or two."

Eight days had passed since secluding himself. Zac felt like a dried-out plant having recovered after a long drought, filled with energy and...

Chapter 1,275.

"You found a city?"

Zac was about to comment on the absurdity of the notion of running into actual members of the Limitless Empire when he realized it was by no means an impossibility. His human half was still making his way through the Pangonian Wilds, which were filled with various lifefo...

Chapter 1,274.

The surroundings exploded in a chaotic mix of faith and space. Zac was unscathed, finding himself standing in the middle of a shallow crater fifty meters across. Surrounding him was a sea of orange complemented by nine pillars grasping for infinity. The new environment came with the influx of mem...

Chapter 1,273.

Kristvan's frown deepened from the information transmitted through the hundreds of runes floating around him. He sought the source of the anomaly, digging toward the depths of the earth and reaching far into the sky. There was no earthly reason to be found for the slight but comprehensive drop. T...

Chapter 1,272.

A/N: We're back!

-----

Esmeralda reluctantly stirred, resisting the chill and exhaustion's attempts to drag her back into the comforting darkness. Bleary eyes opened, and thoughts resisted being put into a coherent order for a good while. She felt as...

Dragoncon and Sept Update.

The summer is coming to a close, which means I've dusted off the keyboard and returned to my writing cave. DotF is returning in September as planned. The only caveat is that I'll be flying home from Atlanta on Monday the 2nd, so the release time of the month's first chapter will be off. Barring a...

Defiance of the Fall Deluxe Edition

Hello, a small summer update! First of; Patreon should be mostly unbugged for everyone by now. Discord roles are still lagging behind, but the chapters should be accessible for everyone again. More importantly, I do have some other exciting news during the DotF drought!

Defiance of...
