Read Chapter 92 if you haven't already, it was posted a minute before this one
Under a demonic tree sat a young woman wearing red robes. She was looking up at the sky, wondering why her love had not responded to any of her letters.
A maid rushed over. "My lady, I'm afraid I hav...
The crowds roared with excitement, the stands packed full of disciples. Today was the opening of the Sealed Realm, and everyone wanted to witness this momentous event.
"Can you believe it's finally happening?" a female disciple gushed to her friends. "We're so lucky to be here! I can die happy now!"
"Speak for yourself,” one of h...

Lucious is the Black Rose Sect Leader’s disciple, however, I remember mentioning him in a previous chapter with a different name but I can’t seem to find it in my notes. If any of you remember what it is, comment down below. Thank you!
The crowd roared with excitement as the ten...
The girl rushed forward to engage Zack in hand-to-hand combat, just as he had anticipated. As a dual cultivator proficient in both spiritual and body techniques, Zack was not afraid to face a demon in close quarters.
Their initial exchanges were fairly evenly matched, neither able to gain a clear advantage as they traded blows. Zack utili...
Slifer arrived at his private quarters, glancing around with the insight skill before entering to make sure he wasn't followed. Inside, Morvran and Kalin, were already waiting for him.
"Well?" Slifer asked as he closed the door behind him. "What did you find out?"
Morvran stepped forward first, clearing his throat. "Master, my men ...
"The break is now over! Let the fourth round of the Core Formation battles begin!"
Finally, a real challenge! None of those squishy robed weaklings. It’s time to see who the real dual cultivator is around here!
Zack was bouncing on his feet as he waited in the arena for his next opponent. This was it - the battle he had ...
Immediately, Anne's innocent smile shifted into a ruthless smirk. Her hands flashed in an incantation gesture.
"Dancing Lights of Deception!"
A dozen glowing orbs materialized around Hughie, surrounding him in a circle. The orbs began to spin faster and faster, trails of light blurring together until all Hughie could see was a hypn...
Powl was a thin, gentle-looking man, he gave a small bow as he entered the arena.
"Let us have a fair and honourable match."
Ironius said nothing in response, staring back impassively. Like most of the Black Death disciples in the tournament so far, he seemed a man of few words.
"Begin!" Elder Fred shouted.
Immediatel...
“Ashton of the White Tiger Sect versus Rai of the Black Heart Sect!”
Ashton stepped into the arena. At over seven feet tall, he was a giant, with bulging muscles that seemed ready to tear through the white robes straining to contain them.
Up in the waiting area, Zack's eyes lit up, the winner of this battle would face him in th...
Slifer watched with amusement as the Heavenly Light disciple scheduled to face Ziven walked onto the arena stage, took one look at the Son of Heaven, and promptly turned right back around to exit on the other side.
"I forfeit this match!" the disciple called out, not even sparing a glance backwards.
Slifer chuckled under his breath...
Zack and Urion circled each other slowly. Zack continued pretending that his shoulder was still injured by favouring his unbandaged side.
“I’ll show you!” With a roar, Urion charged forward surrounded by halos of light. Just before reaching Zack, he thrust out both palms.
"Heavenly Radiance Burst!"
Rays of golden light...

I went back and added a new task, for every match Slifer’s disicples win in the first round, he receives 150 Karmic Credits.
Slifer watched with interest as the next two contestants stepped into the arena - Ziven of the Heavenly Light Sect, and Kathe...
Hughie glanced up at the spectator stands, spotting Oliviare among the sea of faces. She gave him a small wave.
"Gotta give the people a good show!" Hughie said with a grin. "Especially with my number one fan watching."
Paddy followed Hughie's gaze up to Oliviare. "Ah, there is a jade beauty cheering you on. So, you do not wish to ...
This scrawny pipsqueak doesn’t look like much. He probably hasn’t even reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, Varoom scoffed, looking down at his opponent.
"Boy, I won't even need any techniques to beat you. I'll just slap you to death!"
"Give it a try, big guy,” Zack responded with a smirk.
Varoom...
The arena was buzzing with excitement as the spectators leaned forward in their seats, eyes glued to the empty stage below. Any moment now, the first stage of the tournament would come to a close.
Only the teams who secured both the precious Yang and Ying scrolls, while keeping all three members alive, would progress to the next round.
Ziven rode through the Valley of Scattered Flames on a horse-like creature, which he had nicknamed 'Blaze'.
Blaze was an Ash Courser. Standing at fifteen feet tall, it had a muscular build covered in ash-coloured fur that allowed it to blend into the surroundings. Its hooves were strange, almost resembling talons, they gave the beast trac...

The first scene of this chapter is from the point of view of a Heavenly Light disciple, I wanted to use a different POV to show what Slifer's disciples look like to others. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy the Bonus Chapter!
Atrius struggled to prevent his leg...
Caelum’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the strange creature before him. It was humanoid in shape, but with blood red skin, bulging black veins, and a monstrous, inhuman face that had two horns protruding from its skull.
This was no beast or cultivator, but a true demon.
He couldn’t rely on righteous techniques as he did with th...
The three young cultivators scrambled to get away from Amelia, but she continued trailing after them. She wouldn’t let her prey off so easily.
"Leaving so soon?" she called out in a sing-song voice. "But we were just starting to get to know each other!"
The Black Rose disciple risked a panicked glance over his shoulder, only to f...
Three young cultivators were making their way through the valley. One wore the robes of the Black Rose Sect, while the others bore the insignia of the Pure Soul and White Tiger Sects respectively.
As they searched for the scrolls, a faint squealing reached their ears. The three exchanged glances, debating whether to investigate.
Th...
The mismatched trio trudged through the murky woods, boots squelching in the damp earth.
The Heavenly Light disciple wrinkled her nose at the dank atmosphere. "What is that awful stench?"
"It's the natural musk of the swamp, princess," Leif said with a smirk. "Not all of us grew up in cosy temples and libraries."
The blonde ...
Valley of Scattered Flames
Hughie let out a startled yelp as he tumbled out of the portal, landing face-first into a pile of thick, mushy muck.
"Ugghh, gross!" he exclaimed, scrambling to his feet. His face was covered in sticky, pungent gunk. He grimaced as he tentatively sniffed the foul substance.
"Oh no...is thi...

Zack walked into the grand arena, casually taking in the sights around him. The massive stadium had been hastily constructed by the Black Rose Sect in preparation for the upcoming Intersect Tournament.
The entire structure looked freshly cut from black marble, with towering stands that would soon be filled by thousands of spectators.
<...
“Supreme Elder Slifer, nice of you to finally grace us with your presence,” Zofia said sarcastically, eyeing the orange-robed man as he strode into the grand hall.
Slifer waved a dismissive hand. “Ah, my apologies, as the sole Supreme Elder of the Black Rose Sect, I actually have responsibilities to attend to,” he retorted.
Ziven smirked, sure that he would easily put this demonic scum in his place. But before he could make a move, Dentos suddenly vanished. Ziven's eyes widened in surprise - where did that weirdo go?
A split second later, Ziven felt a strong hand clamp down over his face as Dentos reappeared directly in front of him. With lightning speed, De...
Hey everyone!
I hope you've had a good start to the new year!
Just thought I'd let you all know that this week I intend to release an extra chapter for the immortal tier and increase that to 15 chapters more than Royal Road.
Instead of releasing a chapter tonight, I will be releasing a chapter on Thursday, Friday & Satur...
"Please, no need to fawn. There's plenty of me to go around," Zack flashed a roguish wink, the motion parting his robes further to reveal impressively sculpted abs that caused Amelia to make a strangled noise low in her throat.
Hughie shook his head; he was just relieved not to be the sole focus of Slifer's attentions anymore.
"I..." Hughie faltered, dropping his gaze. "I haven't been fully honest with you, Master. There are things I've kept hidden."
Is this what I think it is? Slifer raised an eyebrow.
"Back when you were in closed door cultivation, Oliviare gave me this…ring as a parting gift," Hughie confessed. "I didn't think much of it at...
Slifer reappeared inside Oliviare's cottage just in time to see an enormous, clawed paw pressed down on Oliviare’s back.
The Pantherion was easily twice the size of the others, with fur the deep purple of twilight. It turned its head toward Slifer. A low snarl emanated from its throat.
The message was clear. One wrong move from h...
