A loud crack echoed throughout the courtyard, Zephyr had sent forth his fist to defend himself. Lincoln’s palm shattered, sending a stunning array of colors cascading across the sky. The punch did not stop there; however, it found its way to Lincoln’s actual palm with a sickening crunch, followed by screams of agony. Lincoln could not help but stare at his now broken arm, being helplessly flopped down next to him. Seeing this, Lincoln let out another shrill of cry. However, Zephyr did not stop, he grabbed Lincoln’s wrist and sent him tumbling into the air. Zephyr was already powerful, but his anger over Leah’s well-being sent him into a berserker rage. Zephyr grabbed a hold of Lincoln, before pulling him down, back onto the ground, face first, each connection rang throughout the courtyard as the ground cracked under Lincoln’s jaw. Lincoln could only stare helplessly as he allowed Zephyr to manhandle him, never had he thought Zephyr could overpower him like that. However, these though
“M-master?” Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out behind Zephyr. In that moment, the anger that filled Zephyr’s face dissipated almost immediately, he quickly turned his head to meet the voice. There, he saw Leah, tears in her eyes, rushing out to greet him. Her eyes were puffy, her cheeks were tear stained, she was shaken. Zephyr felt relieved to see her clothes untouched, Lincoln had not touched her. “Leah!”Zephyr called out to her, not before he kicked Lincoln away. He embraced Leah tightly, unwilling to part ever again. “Leah, how are you?” Zephyr asked, seeing Leah’s worried look on her face. “I’m… I’m fine, master, you’re… fine! That’s great!” she replied happily, relieved. Seeing Zephyr, Leah felt more concerned over him than herself. Zephyr, who realized this, could not help but ache a little inside. “Quick! Get this traitorous B*stard out of my sight! If he fights back, kill him,” Mist ordered, his voice filled with anger. Mist could only feel anger upon seeing Lincoln’s bat
“I am here now, to protect my godson, Zephyr!“My brother, Zenith, had disappeared without a trace. His son would undoubtedly be in my charge after all.” Bruce said. “I thought I could spare some of my free time for a quick visit, who would’ve thought I’d see this!”Finishing his words, Bruce’s voice took a sour turn, his expression now cold and unforgiving. “Zenith is the rightful patriarch to the Khan, by right, Zephyr should be the rightful heir, yet this is how you treat him?” he continued, “Mist Khan, Zenith Khan is your own flesh and blood, how could you do this to Zephyr? To him?” Bruce’s voice grew spiteful with each word. “My Lord, this is a familial matter, even though you are our mayor, you have no reason to interfere,” Mist replied, his expression was hard to read. “No reason? Mist Khan, I have all the reasons to intervene today!” Bruce commanded, “Zephyr, come with me. Let’s see who dares stop you!” Zephyr trusted Bruce fully, he felt no ill-will nor ulterior motives f
Zephyr finally asked something he had been keeping for a long time. In his previous life, Zephyr had investigated news of his father, yet nothing came up. Much like ash and embers being put out mid-flight, Zenith disappeared without a trace. “I’m not sure, I don’t know much. When Zenith disappeared, I was away, that didn’t help. However, if my suspicions are correct, it must have something to do with your mother!” said Bruce. “My mother?!” Zephyr said, with a frown. His mother’s circumstances were more mysterious than his father’s. Regardless of either lives, Zephyr knew little of his mother. He had never seen his mother, even when he was young. “Hmm… your mother’s identity is indeed mysterious, even I've never met her before,” Bruce replied. “But what I can tell you is this, your mother was a powerful woman, her history was unbelievably powerful. She wasn’t your ordinary lady…” he continued, after a brief pause for thought. As the two chatted, Mist resided back in the Khan househo
For a clan to reach a Status, it would definitely elevate them above the rest. Only those with histories that spanned thousands of generations would have this Status. Under normal circumstances, for one to reach a status level, they would have to enroll into an academy. Therefore, Mist was baffled. “Although the technique he used was common, it had an eerie mystical effect, and it paralyzed me!” Puck said, and let out a shiver at the thought of Zephyr’s punishment. “Impossible. No one in Starlight City has achieved a Status, how could Zephyr achieve that?” Mist sighed, shaking his head. If Zephyr could hear their conversation, he would have laughed at how pathetic they sounded. After all, his Earthquake Fist was never a sought after move, but with the augmentation from his Focus, it was not to be underestimated. Whether it had helped Zephyr reach a Status, was still debatable. “Quick! Find out what’s going on! The absence of evidence does not equal the evidence of absence! We must
“Looks like I’ll have to look for a new way to train!” Zephyr sighed. He put out his right arm, “Come!” With that, a white light flashed across the sky, then landed in Zephyr’s hand. His sword filled with Focus, and vibrated in his hand. He gripped it tightly before he sent an arcing slash towards the waterfall. “Seven Slash – Fifth Slash!” A wave of shimmering light cascaded its way towards the waterfall, fragmenting once before merging back together to form an energy spiral. The flow of the waterfall yielded to the spiral, and somehow started to flow backwards. Seeing this, Zephyr did not stop, once again, summoned his true energy. “Sixth Slash!” Here, his sword had manifested itself beyond its original length, it’s draw now 300ft in length, solidifying into a great sword. Zephyr sent it against the waterfall, effectively cutting it in half. A loud cracking and crumbling ensued, and the once great waterfall was seen split down the middle into two streams. It did not stop there howe
Lewis was not stupid. Although Zephyr had only given him a measly spirit pill, he felt how much more powerful it was than the usual pills dispensed by the Khan. Besides, Zephyr had given him ten of them, it was a very generous gift. Lewis could only guess as to how Zephyr got his hands on them; Zephyr had his own personal medicine man! Medicine men were well respected throughout the land, this can be seen in how Lincoln was treated by the Khan. The medicine men can be categorized into nine levels: from a one starred healer to a nine starred wizard, the quality of their pills followed the same ranking. There were not many medicine men around, in the whole of Starlight, only two have been seen. Lincoln was only a medicine man of the lowest tier, yet he was paraded around Khan grounds like royalty. It was frightening to think about the prowess the medicine man behind Zephyr had. This guess had further strengthened Lewis’ resolve to follow Zephyr. However, the truth was, Zephyr himself w
“Isn’t this b*stard nothing more than trash? How is he so powerful!?”“Right, isn’t Zephyr just an average everyday man? He hadn’t even gone through any training! How is he so formidable?”“Look at that sword skill, it’s almost real! No one in Starlight could have such power!”“Has this lowly b*stard really been given a great boon?”“We must report back immediately! Ugh, how have we not known about this? We have been living alongside him for so long! If Master Khan knew about this, we would definitely be reprimanded!”The four figures discussed in hush tones, their faces painted in fear. Zephyr sighed a breath of relief and rested his sword before him, yet his brow showed no sweat. ‘I guess I’ve mastered the Seventh Slash! Training for the Seven Slashes has been a breeze ever since I picked up my Focus! Nonetheless, mastery over the Seventh Slash took a long time, no doubt that it was a powerful technique,’ Zephyr thought. According to his judgement, he had only barely mastered
Zephyr had a strong soul and had reached the peak of the Magic Realm, which was enough to communicate with the Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl and communicate with Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor!Moreover!Not only did Zephyr practice the Ancient Draconic Way, but he was also the successor chosen by his old friend, the Celestial Martial Emperor!This....This was beyond Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor's expectations!Surprise!It was a huge surprise!Pausing for a moment!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor spoke once more, "Right! Due to a special reason, you can just accept my inheritance and there is no need to acknowledge me as your Master! It's fine so long as you're willing to promise me that you won't pass down the inheritance to an outsider!"......Similarly!Not only was the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor pleasantly surprised, but Zephyr himself was also pleasantly surprised after hearing his words.Good heavens!After all, the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was a genuine Creatio
"After millions of years, this strand of will of mine is growing weaker and weaker, and could vanish at any moment!""But it just so happens that among the younger generation of the Thunder Dragon Clan, there are quite a few with extraordinary talent and formidable strength, even though they have the Amethyst Spiritual Liquid to temper their bones! However, their soul realms are still a little lacking, and they're utterly unable to enter the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl and communicate with my thoughts! Thus, there's naturally no way for them to obtain my inherited supreme technique!"'If I keep waiting like this, it'll be hard to say when the juniors of the Thunder Dragon Clan will be qualified to enter the inner world of the Ten Thousand Lightning Pearl!'"I'm truly unwilling to accept this, and I'm very afraid as well. They're unable to obtain my lifetime's inheritance before this strand of soul remnant will vanishes completely, and my Thunder Dragon Clan can’t rise once more in
When his strength was strong enough to be fearless of everything!After a moment of silence!Zephyr cupped his fists at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, "Junior Zephyr thanks Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor for lending me this treasure!"The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor nodded slightly, and replied with a hint of majesty in his voice, "Well, you don't have to thank me! Brother Celestial Martial Emperor once did me a favor, and since you are his successor, I naturally have to take care of you!""If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you tried so hard to get this Ten Thunder Thunder Pearl must be because of the Ancient Draconic Way, right?""After all, although this peerless divine art is extraordinarily powerful, the difficulty of breaking through in cultivation can be said to be at the pinnacle of the world!""Without enough treasures and energy, it's almost impossible to improve one's cultivation!""Coincidentally, this Ten Thousand Thunder Pearl of mine comes from beyond th
As for the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, he stood there with a calm expression and looked at Zephyr motionlessly.It seemed that the calm before the storm was about to erupt.The Curse Devil King was even more nervous. He shouted crazily in Zephyr's heart, asking Zephyr to run away as soon as possible.However...Zephyr stood there fearlessly with a calm expression, staring at the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Such a scene!It lasted for half a minute!Suddenly!The incomparably serious Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor suddenly raised his head and burst into hearty laughter.Closely behind!The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor looked at Zephyr and nodded repeatedly in praise. He praised him in an extremely amazed tone, "Good boy! Good boy! You are indeed worthy of being the successor chosen by the Celestial Martial Emperor. You are indeed courageous and smart!""Kid, to tell you the truth, from the moment you entered the Ten Thousand Lightning Palace, I felt a particularly familiar
Zephyr was shocked. Being watched by such an Emperor at the Creation Realm at such a close distance was really not an easy thing.If it were any other warrior with weak essences, he would probably be scared out of his wits and would not be able to resist the soul-level pressure at all.However...Zephyr has a strong spirit energy, and his state of mind was as firm as a rock.Under the gaze of Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, Zephyr didn't even bat an eyelid. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes. In a voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "I really can't imagine anyone else in the entire Thunder Dragon Clan who can compare to you, Senior. You're absolutely peerless and matchless...."Pausing for a moment!Zephyr quickly changed the topic and bowed respectfully again. "Senior Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor, it's my first time here, and I don't have any hostility. Please don't blame me for accidentally offending you!"Hearing that!The Ten T
Hearing what the Curse Devil King said, Zephyr sighed helplessly in his heart.There was nothing he could do!There was nothing he could do now!If Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor wanted to attack him and wouldn't give up so easily, then he could only fight with all his might.However...Judging from the intense collision of spirit energy between them earlier, it would appear that the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor had no intention of killing Zephyr.Thinking of this!Zephyr was much more relaxed, but he still did not dare to be careless. He could only raise his head and carefully size up the magnificent Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him.At this moment...The Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor in front of him had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His face was upright and his long hair was tied behind his back. His bearing was extraordinary. He possessed a mighty aura even without being angry. His eyes were purple in color and gave off a deep ancient feeling...Not simple!
Zephyr was clearly only at the first level of the Will Realm, and his soul force was merely at the ninth level of the Magic Realm. Yet, he was able to fight head-on against an ancient emperor like the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor.Even if the Ten Thousand Thunder Emperor was merely a remnant soul and his spirit energy wasn't as strong as it was at its peak, it was enough to prove how monstrous Zephyr was!"Swoosh!"Just as their spirit energy reached its climax and was about to destroy the entire Void...Suddenly!With the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, the soul pressure around Zephyr disappeared in an instant!Closely behind!Wisps of dazzling purple light energy, carrying the Will of the thunder law, quickly shuttled through the void.They looked like lightning dragons that were constantly repairing the shattered space just now.And the whole process was also very fast!In less than half a minute.The cracks in the void caused by the collision between Zeph
Om!As soon as Zephyr finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming at him like a huge dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.The powerful oppressive might contained within that oppressive might caused one's hair to stand on end and soul to tremble.At this moment!The entire void around Zephyr was quickly boiling like boiling water. A powerful pressure enveloped Zephyr one after another, as if the whole world was targeting and ostracizing him.No one had expected this!The purple-robed figure in front of Zephyr did not turn around or say anything. He used his spirit energy to attack Zephyr directly."Hiss...""What a frightening spiritual pressure fluctuation!""This... this is absolutely not just the Magic Realm, it's the Creation Realm!""Even if I run the Chaotic Immortal Scripture and fully activate my spirit energy, or even use all kinds of Increase means, I'm afraid I can't compare with this soul pressure fluctuation at all!"Sensing this fr
A group of Thunder Dragon Clan experts relied on their powerful techniques to gradually restore the surrounding space to its normal state.The surrounding shattered void returned to its original state!"It's done!""Next, let's go back and heal our wounds!""Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"After the group of experts from the Thunder Dragon Clan recovered their shattered space, they didn't delay for long before they flickered and left, and they merged into the surrounding thunderstorms and clouds before vanishing completely...At this moment!Other than strands of violent lightning force, the void around the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead was eerily calm.Everything was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened."Boom!"Whoosh!Suddenly!Just after the experts of the Thunder Dragon Clan disappeared.After an unknown period of time, layer after layer of lightning storm clouds suddenly converged upon the Ten Thousand Lightning Bead, breaking the silence of the surroundings.Vaguel
