LOGINSylas had two options. He would have to take Aria out before she could track him down and end the problem for good. It was either that or he sped up the soul transfer and used the Reincarnation Mirror to rebuild his body as fast as possible. Then, he'd be able to put himself somewhere even heaven's laws couldn't reach him. Stepping outside the three realms and slipping past the Five Elements was an impossibly tough task. People had been trying to achieve that for as long as anyone could remember, and not one of them had ever managed it. Breaking free of heaven's control was that hard. But Sylas had been working toward this for a long time, and his ambition alone said everything about the kind of man who'd actually try. Jorell's rushed footsteps grew fainter and fainter, until they finally disappeared into the dead quiet of the estate. The courtyard went silent again. It was so quiet that even the wind brushing through the dried vines sounded loud. Inside the chamber, the gree
Sylas had specially designed the Soul Lock Grove's layout for Nunzio. The day Nunzio met Sylas' expectations would also be the day he died.At that moment, Nunzio was completely absorbed in Sylas' treatment and utterly devoted to him. He had no idea that the man he served with absolute loyalty harbored such ruthless intentions. He took everything as a sign of favor.The pain in Nunzio's body gradually faded, replaced by a warm current flowing through him. Almost immediately, he began looking at Sylas with even deeper reverence. The dark glow at Sylas' fingertips slowly withdrew as he closed his eyes to rest. The chilling energy around him receded slightly, though it still deterred anyone from approaching. The chamber fell into a dead silence. Only the faint crackling of the eternal lamp and Nunzio's heavy breathing could be heard. The atmosphere itself was suffocating.Suddenly, hurried footsteps shattered the silence in the courtyard. They were chaotic and urgent, nothing like
Sam widened his eyes, his voice tinged with fear as he clenched his fists unconsciously. "How long? Boss, you and God of Wealth had been unconscious for three nights! "I was pacing the whole time, worried sick, but I didn't dare move either of you. I haven't left this room once in the past three days. I stayed right here watching over you, just in case anything happened."Aria blinked in shock. Time had passed slowly in the Netherrealm, yet three days had gone by in the mortal realm.She noticed Sam's bloodshot eyes and the exhaustion he couldn't hide. Even his usually bright face looked worn. It was clear that over the past three days, he hadn't relaxed for a single moment while guarding both her and Landon.Sam seemed to have read her thoughts. He waved his hand dismissively, a smile returning to his face as his tone lightened. "Boss, don't worry. I'm fine. Just a little sleepy. Once you've recovered, I'll get some rest."For the past three days, the Special Missions Unit has b
Inside the Reincarnation Hall, the unholy energy seeped into Aria's dim spirit form and threaded its way toward her soul. Moments ago, she had finally felt the warmth of finding her six fellow apprentices. Yet, her hope was crushed by the fact that Thayne had not entered reincarnation. She leaned against Landon, her spirit trembling faintly. The faint glow flickered around her like a dying candle in the wind, ready to be swallowed at any moment by the dense gloom of the underworld.A thread of golden light slipped from Landon's palm and gently wrapped around her spirit, shielding it from the biting cold. The concern in his dark eyes was almost overflowing, but he said nothing. He simply stayed by her side, careful not to interrupt her thoughts.There were things he knew, things he understood, but he could not speak of them. Everything had to be uncovered by Aria herself, step by step. Meanwhile, Vexon stood nearby with his head lowered. When he saw Aria's dispirited form, he fu
The light band wasn't dazzling, but it carried a gentle warmth. It was completely different from the sinister energy around it.Aria's breath hitched. Even the trembling of her spirit stilled as she stared fixedly at the words slowly forming within the light band. She read them one by one, afraid it might be just a trick of the eye.At the center of the light band, a refined and handsome man appeared. He had gentle features, was dressed in a pure white robe, and had a sword hanging at his waist. Surrounded by the cool and ethereal energy unique to Mount Hollowlight, he was none other than her eldest apprentice—Fergus.Beneath the light band, a line of small golden text appeared. Every word struck a chord in Aria's heart. Fergus was the eldest apprentice of the Hollowlight Sect. He had a pure heart and profound spiritual energy. He spent his life slaying demons and protecting the people. A hundred years ago, he exhausted himself defending his sect and perished.In recognition of h
The scene inside the hall was far more overwhelming than Aria had imagined. The entire Reincarnation Hall had no beams or pillars to support it. Its dome soared dozens of feet high. It resembled an inverted starry sky, with countless threads of golden light spilling downward, shimmering like stars.A massive platform carved from centuries-old marble stood in the middle of the hall. Its smooth and milky-white surface was etched with endless tracks of reincarnation. Each line represented the past and present lives of a mortal. Every detail was perfectly outlined—from birth to death, from good to evil. This was the Reincarnation Record.It wasn't a book but the marble platform itself, formed from the laws of heaven and earth. The tracks upon it recorded every cycle of reincarnation.Countless golden bands of light floated above the marble platform, displaying images of the living—smiling children, peaceful elders, vicious spirits, and the joys and sorrows of humanity.The bands fl
The view of Mount Southbore slowly faded behind them as Aria and Landon walked side by side along the winding path. The mountain air carried the fresh scent of grass and trees, yet it couldn't chase away the chill in Aria's eyes.The softness she once carried in the palace had vanished. Only a shar
"Stay away from me! If you lay a finger on me, my dad is going to make you pay," Tavish said, his voice trembling ever so slightly. "Let me make something clear. My name is Tavish Hamilton, and my dad is the CEO of Hamilton Group!"My family is no weaker than yours in Janovin! With a snap of his fi
After the duo spoke in unison, their energy flared outward. Norbert snapped his duster, sending thousands of silvery strands streaking toward Zayden. A faint green glow lingered around the whisk, clearly infused with the Tranquilizing Spell—an art capable of damaging both body and mind.Meanwhile,
The vortex swelled and enclosed Warren, Fiona, and Homer.Just as it was about to swallow them, a gust of wind scattered it. The wind carried the presence of a primordial beast that seemed to frighten the restless souls trapped in the vortex."Who's there?" Sylas frowned and looked around.Findin
