Here we go again...
For Patreons that were here for the original chapter 128, you might know where this is going.
I don't know how it has taken me this long, but the posting of chapter 190 made me realize something. I really suck at making skill gain chapters hype. I always focus on t...

2023-10-11 02:51:51 +0000 UTC View PostDante Voidmind stared in the mirror and despised what glared back. His once-perfect visage was gone and replaced with what could only be described as a beaten-down cripple. His messy black hair, which he used to keep slicked back to draw focus to his perfect jawline, now fell freely over his face...
2023-10-10 01:17:41 +0000 UTC View PostStella awoke to the night sky and a cold breeze. Her neck felt stiff from the wooden bench's arm she used as a pillow, and her mind felt fuzzy as she let out a long yawn. Sitting up and rubbing the back of her neck, Stella looked down at her body and noticed two things. First, her favorite clothe...
2023-10-07 22:30:58 +0000 UTC View PostIn the darkness of night, Nox was all-powerful. To her, the shady forest east of the mountains was the perfect place for her to disappear. What little light streaked down from the moon and stars could hardly penetrate the canopy of the strange mixture of evergreen and demonic trees. As a result, ...
2023-10-07 00:31:31 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock's Star Core pulsed with power as he directed all the ambient spatial Qi on the mountain peak to create a bubble around Lucius's corpse.
"That's not going to be enough," Ashlock muttered as he looked around for a solution. His gaze eventually landed on a badly beaten spider with two ...
2023-10-05 21:31:30 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock watched in horror as his well-thought-out plan that utilized everything at his disposal to keep Lucius away from the sun was triumphed by nothing other than overwhelming power.
Lucius had turned himself into what could only be described as a walking light bomb, instantly obliteratin...
2023-10-04 01:25:59 +0000 UTC View PostLucius felt immortal, which wasn't so far from the truth. So long as the radiant glow of the sun empowered his mortal vessel, he could tap into a limitless power source, allowing him to spend light Qi without limit. Healing Glow covered every inch of his body at all times, and his costly...
2023-10-02 23:40:38 +0000 UTC View PostEverything happened so fast.
The meeting had been going according to plan. The merchants seemed interested in the pills, and the reactions were positive. However, when Stella presented the poisonous pills alongside the antidote, everything went to shit.
Stella was suddenly screamingâ€...
2023-10-01 20:58:05 +0000 UTC View PostNox bent backward as the void creature's claws blurred past her nose with an eerie silence. If not for her centuries spent honing her reaction time while fighting monsters in rifts, she would have lost her head.
She rolled backward to get back on her feet and away from the monster. Her spat...

While pulling out the middle of the three offered chairs, Nox scanned the large but mostly barren room. Much like the hallways that led to this part of the White Stone Palace, the room lacked any usual displays of wealth.
As a Merchant, Nox had spent many hours sitting in gaudy rooms with a...
2023-09-27 20:41:42 +0000 UTC View PostStella reached down and grabbed the cursed sap pill from the depths of the cauldron fruit. Withdrawing her soul flame from the cauldron, she rigorously checked the pill for any issues under the dim blue hue of the glowing mushrooms and sighed with relief after finding nothing wrong.
"I did ...
2023-09-10 22:15:21 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock watched in interest as Stella led Elder Margret deeper into the cavern and toward the cages that contained the feral demonic chickens that tried to lash out as she approached. To his surprise, one of the cages in the middle had a small demonic tree growing up through the bars.

2023-09-07 23:57:07 +0000 UTC View PostElder Margret took a deep, satisfying breath of the crisp morning air as she stood in the doorway to the White Stone Palace. It was such a refreshing experience, feeling the sun on her face and smelling the fresh air after spending the entire afternoon and night in the cavern trying to teach the ...

Why are there so many people? What happened to her quiet lecture hall devoid of anyone paying attention?

2023-08-31 15:59:49 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock was somewhat surprised to discover {Abyssal Whispers} was deemed by the system as a tree-specific skill as it morphed into {Mental Anguish} and was added to a sublist in his status screen alongside the other skills that were morphed for his Qi Fruit Production.
"How strange," Ashloc...
2023-08-28 02:33:55 +0000 UTC View Post"Why would you want to poison the Merchants?" Ashlock asked Stella with a hint of confusion.
He practically got whiplash from her answer. It was so outrageous. Did she have some grudge with them?
The Merchants were imperative for the future of the Ashfallen Sect. Unti...
2023-08-26 02:25:08 +0000 UTC View PostStella pressed the dagger's blade against Ash's black root.
"Tree, is this really the only way to extract your cursed sap?" Stella asked, "I don't want to hurt you."
"Stella, you want to make a poisonous pill that slowly turns a person to wood and eventually a tree from th...

2023-08-22 01:25:41 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a while since I felt the need to do one of these.
Initially, in the recent chapter, Ashlock used {Progeny Dominion [S]} to get close to the Grand Elder's study so he could then cast {Abyssal Whispers} on him. However, it hasn't been a week since the colosseum, so that could result in p...

2023-08-21 02:11:27 +0000 UTC View PostStella opened her eyes as her consciousness withdrew from deep meditation and returned to the real world. As the constant buzz of heaven's whispers faded, she heard the early morning chorus of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the autumn wind playing with her unkempt hair.

2023-08-20 02:46:56 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock stirred awake as the sun crested the distant mountain range and bathed his bark in warm sunlight. As his spiritual sight lazily expanded to encompass the courtyard, there was an all too familiar system notification.

2023-08-18 01:23:55 +0000 UTC View PostStella quickly broke the seal on Kassandra's silver spatial ring while watching a slithering mass of black vines consume the woman's corpse.
There's hardly anything in here, Stella pouted.
The seal was easy enough to break as an entire realm separated them, but the contents l...
2023-08-17 04:33:51 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock awoke to a pleasant autumn breeze that rustled his scarlet leaves. There were also the chirps of birds that had recently made the sprawling demonic forest across the mountain range their home.
As always, it took a while for Ashlock's mind to fully awaken from his slumber, but once h...
2023-08-15 04:13:26 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock and the others waited awhile, but Demetrios Skyrend never returned. The violent storm system dominated the distant horizon, and Ashlock suspected that Demetrios was giving a piece of his mind to the Voidmind family.
He would go and look, but his roots didn't extend far enough west t...
2023-08-14 05:21:16 +0000 UTC View PostElder Elias Voidmind opened his eyes with a sigh—he stood on the third floor of the colosseum and was gazing out at the chaotic marketplace in the grand square.
"Where are these Redclaw bastards?" Elias grumbled to himself as he reeled in his spiritual sight. He had probed the thousands o...
2023-08-13 03:39:36 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock was glad to see Stella deeply contemplating her actions. She had a bad habit of acting first and thinking later, which wasn't the type of mentality someone trying to run a sect should have.
It had worked out so far, but there would come a day when Stella murdered someone over a misu...
2023-08-11 03:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostStella's eyes widened as a wave of ash so dense it could be confused for a landslide surged down into the arena with such force it made the ground shake.
Luckily Stella had been expecting the incoming ash, so she had time to react and set an anchor point to quickly open a portal. As space t...
