Cliffhanger Poll

As previously mentioned, I will be taking a brief hiatus over the holidays, but I didn't want to leave you entirely without chapters. However, as I sat down to schedule chapters, I realize that we ...

Chapter 620: Late Across the Ocean

Even though Kai had pushed himself to cross the ocean in record time, he knew that Yangix had arrived first. It began when the invaders got a head start, while Kai fought the Abhorroid and did othe...

Chapter 619: Invaders Advancing Everywhere

Flying high above the world had once been a pure pleasure for Inafay, but these days it all too often took her to grim locales. Her home - just "Deadwaste" to so many - was still in the grip of for...

Chapter 618: Seeking the Foundations of Cloudspire

As she returned to the Brightwind Sect, Zae Zin Nim reflected on how much her life had changed. Once this had been a place of great terror and, after defeating her father, it had been a place where...

Chapter 617: Shifting Continental Strategies

(Just FYI, the plan is to maintain the current schedule for next week, then I'm taking a roughly one week break over Christmas and New Years.)

Just standing in the elite conference roo...

Chapter 616: Against the Abhorroid

With an enemy this powerful, potentially the most powerful his spiritual sight could currently understand, Kai had no intention of ramping up slowly. By the time he flew anywhere near the Abhorroid...

Chapter 615: Fracturing Strategy

(This chapter is posting late because I somehow just typed the wrong time when scheduling them. Weird mistake to make.)

Kai paced around the exterior of an abandoned elite base, his ey...

Chapter 614: Branching Paths Against Monstrosity

After venturing through Lostwreck, going back over the oceans was frustrating for Zae Zin Nim. She wasn't really losing time, since she could continue cultivating while they traveled, but the wait ...

Chapter 613: Invading the Depths

For a while, Raghi had felt like he was doing important work, gathering valuable intelligence for the elites. Now, as they headed into the Frontier, he no longer had any idea what was going on.

Chapter 612: What Strength Means

Raghi grunted in pain, straining to keep his arm in place. His elbow was being ground into the stone below so hard that his bones ached, but he held out a little longer. Of course he had no chance:...

Chapter 611: Fragments of Lostwreck

As she flew, on a mission to acquire great power and perhaps decide the fate of her world, Zae Zin Nim found herself thinking about her wife. It bothered her how much Omilaena was willing to risk, ...

Chapter 610: Lethal Traps

So far, Lostwreck had been less of a nightmare than a mausoleum, and Omilaena had to admit that she was a little disappointed.

Their initial explorations had been extremely hesitant, concerne...

Chapter 609: Consuming the Blood Current

It wasn't often that Raghi could sneak anywhere, but somehow he was the one being sent into the Earth Union. Experimentation had shown that the invaders were suspicious of anyone with over 500 Powe...

Chapter 608: Facing Untold Threats

It was a golden dragon. Maybe not the same one that had scorned him, but exactly the same breed, with the golden plates and vast wings he remembered.

In his flight over the ocean, Kai had spo...

Chapter 607: Paths Around Deadwaste

Juray was a veteran of two incursions now, but she had never seen anything like this. When the elites had asked her to come north, she had readily accepted, and what met her was an endless stream o...

Chapter 606: A Plan of Insanities

The announcement wasn't news to the planners, but the rest of them winced as they understood. Omilaena nodded as if she wasn't surprised, Zae Zin Nim frowned, and Kai was just trying to figure out ...

Chapter 605: Strategy in the Wake of Defeat

At first, despite the obvious arguments against it, Kai wanted to go back. There was a part of him that was convinced that he could always save the day if he just pushed harder, that he could someh...

Chapter 604: A Costly Retreat

As soon as Gunjin told him about the mysterious invaders, Kai had intended to attack. After hearing about the disastrous first attempts, he managed to restrain himself - the elites said they likely...

Chapter 603: Beneath the Ground Floor

Going from ending the incursion to hearing about disasters in the north gave Zae Zin Nim a sense of surreal disorientation. In Krysal, everyone had been cheering and thanking her. When she followed...

Chapter 602: A Grim Conclusion

Even as her hands flew, doing what she could to save the lives of the elites in front of her, Omilaena felt certain that she was making a mistake.

Not that helping them was inherently wrong, ...

Chapter 601: A Gray Trap Closes

(More new patrons than average, presumably coming from the audiobook. Welcome! Though if they are coming from the audiobook, they're probably reading through the past backlog, so I don't know when ...

Chapter 600: Not the End

Kai streaked across Krysal, eyes focused past the horizon on a destination he couldn't see. There were people slaughtering each other in Philaster and he didn't have any time to wait for elite tele...

Chapter 599: Healing After the Hordes

Technically there were still monsters roaming through Irun, but Omilaena could finally stop pretending to care about them. What was the point of going to so much effort strengthening soldiers if th...

Chapter 598: Through the Voidshell

As she flew south, Zae Zin Nim knew that others were concerned for their lives, but her primary fear was that she would be disappointed. Many people did not understand the huge gulf of power betwee...

Chapter 597: Heroic Rescues at Monskon City

When Ankrastor stumbled back through the gates of the city, covered in the blood of monsters, he had Goralians cheering for him on every side. It should have been the best day of his life, the culm...

Chapter 596: A Different Sort of Frontier City

As Kai transitioned to the second phase of the incursion, his personal risk decreased, but his tension increased. There were no more monsters as dangerous as the Deepclaw, so he wasn't challenged o...
