Since the current era began, the long-dormant Dragon Gate Peak suddenly erupted with incomparably brilliant light. Over the past two years, Su Chensha had walked it alone, compressing all of the peak’s fate and fortune into its core. Boundless True Qi of Dragon Transformation, limitless fortune and destiny had been compressed and refined again and again. Normally, one would take ten steps and glimpse the radiant Dragon Gate, then begin condensing fortune… But Su Chensha had walked the entire length of Dragon Gate Peak — and when the gate still refused to appear, he forcibly tore open a path himself. It’s hard to even imagine how much fortune had accumulated on Dragon Gate Peak. Now, in this moment, all that boundless fortune surged madly toward Su Chensha. In an instant, Su Chensha felt as though his soul had left his body. He watched as his body continuously transformed, growing stronger and stronger, his cultivation soaring at a frenzied pace. Blood Tempering — Fourth Layer… Qi Refinement — Third Layer… Meridian Unblocking — Ninth Layer… Perfect Nine Meridians! His cultivation rose at a speed beyond comprehension. Yet Su Chensha’s face remained calm, almost detached — as though coldly observing, or waiting for something. From the void, a jet-black bolt of lightning visible only to him surged forth, laced with crimson. That eerie force had no source and no origin — it appeared out of thin air, slithering toward Su Chensha’s body like a venomous snake. “It’s you! You’ve been the one obstructing me, ruining my cultivation all this time!” Su Chensha’s eyes shot open, bursting with an indescribable fury! His eyes nearly spat flames. He had finally seen it — the culprit that had destroyed his cultivation time and time again! That very presence he had obsessed over for years — his ‘old companion’. “Why?! Why is this happening?” “What crime has Su Chensha committed to deserve such treatment from the heavens?!” “Even Family Brother Su Yan was only crippled once, but I — I’ve been crippled over thirty times!” “Over thirty times!!” Su Chensha’s soul howled in anguish! His body continued to grow stronger, yet the void-born corruption crept ever closer to consuming it. He tried to resist with all his might, but his soul couldn’t even touch that strange force. That familiar despair, that crushing helplessness, returned again. “Hahahahaha!! You damn heavens! The more you suppress me, the more I’ll fight back!” “There’s no such logic in this world — no ‘you forbid me, so I must obey’ bullshit!” “Tomorrow, I’ll leave the Blessed Grounds! I’ll no longer waste the family’s resources — even if I return to the mortal world, I’ll still—” Before he could finish, he looked up at the sky. His bloodshot eyes were filled with determination, as though trying to see through the eternal firmament. “But… I’ve failed to live up to the Family Leader’s bestowment…” Su Chensha murmured, watching as layers of the eerie force wrapped around his body. At that moment, his cultivation had risen to the Star Holding level, But with the corruption spreading, the newly-formed stars in his sea of stars began to waver and dim. He had seen this before — over thirty times. It was the telltale sign of cultivation collapse. Su Chensha’s soul trembled as he watched his realm crumble once again, his heart full of bitterness. A slender hand tore through the endless corruption and annihilated the endless darkness. Those hands reached through layers of void and directly grasped the twisted force entwined with Su Chensha’s body! “Heaven does not allow it? The Great Dao despises life?” “He is my Su Family’s Sixth Sequence! Even Heaven and Dao cannot erase his right to rise!” “Blood shall flow like rivers? The world turned upside down?! Hahahaha! So what?!” “Walk all paths, invoke all laws — be true to your heart! If so, then for all consequences, I — as Family Leader of the Su Family — shall bear them all!!” That domineering, thunderous voice became Su Chensha’s sole salvation. He had been swallowed by despair countless times, trapped in a quagmire, even prayed to all gods and Buddhas across the skies… But in the end, the only one who responded—Was his Family Leader! Su Chensha felt a sudden whirling, as his soul was forcibly pulled back into his body. Read full story at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 He opened his eyes with a jolt. Twin beams of divine light shot skyward. In that instant, the entire sky turned into endless laws before his eyes. Wherever his gaze landed — there was law, there was Dao. Whatever his senses touched — there was path, there was technique! It was a feeling he had never experienced before. At this moment, Su Chensha felt incomparably powerful. He seemed to know everything — omniscient, all-seeing — but instinctively, he sensed something off. He then looked at his own willpower — and forcibly withdrew from that unnatural state. “Not bad. You escaped ‘Heaven’s’ state on your own.” “You’ve lived up to the title I gave you.” A gentle voice sounded. Su Chensha, dazed, suddenly regained his clarity. He looked at the towering man in black before him. Su Chensha could feel the immense power surging within him. Stars floated in his dantian. A hidden dragon rises — and now soars to the heavens! Two years ago, Su Chensha was the only one in the Blessed Ground without cultivation. But now, having leapt over the Dragon Gate and absorbed countless fortunes, he had reached Star Holding — Sixth Layer! He had even become the strongest cultivator of his generation! With his breakthrough, the family’s group enhancement triggered again. Su Zhou broke through another realm, reaching Moon Grasping — Eighth Layer, his Dao Rhyme like an abyss, like a prison! In Su Chensha’s eyes, the Family Leader became even more unfathomable. For no reason at all, his eyes reddened, and he dropped to his knees. “Su Chensha kneels before the Family Leader!” “I don’t know what my lord has done, but I, Chensha, am willing to serve you across all lifetimes!” Yet just as Su Chensha knelt— Thunder roared madly across the heavens. Colossal bolts of lightning interwove, forming nine massive eyes in the sky! Those divine eyes radiated an otherworldly power, as though watching across past, present, and future — all beings across the realms saw them! From those lofty eyes that once gazed down upon creation came boundless fury. “Since you’ve awakened, why do you kneel?!” “Destruction! Annihilation!! Kneeling is forbidden! No being is worthy of your kneeling!” “We will find you — and destroy you and everything that protects you!” “Luo Tian… you should not have awakened. Now that you have, you shall meet endless misfortune.” “Heaven despises you, the Dao envies you… You shall bring calamity upon all!” Those nine distinct yet equally terrifying voices echoed through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They were like whispers of gods — only the most powerful of beings were even capable of hearing them. Sacred Ruin Forbidden Zone. Countless eerie coffins floated above the zone. Time seemed to halt here — laws, Dao, everything appeared lifeless. Ancient beings once bled here; Emperors once waged war. Now the emperors are hidden, the ancients vanished — yet the Forbidden Zone still stands, eternal. A pair of ancient eyes slowly opened, each filled with near-substantial death aura. “Luo Tian has returned to the world…” “Heh… the one extinguished by all Nine Great Destinies is somehow awake again…” “Go fight for it! That is the one destiny none have been able to claim!” “The one that once nearly devoured all the others…” “The Strongest Destiny!”
