Chapter 169 - Lucid Dream
Raphael and Lu Jade stood before the massive stone door. The Six-Pointed Star Tetrahedron Circular Spell Diagram’s colors shifted between purple, red, and blue. Raphael placed his hands on its surface.
“It feels as solid as a wall.”
“Can you decipher it, Big Brother?” Lu Jade’s emerald eyes, full of concern, watched Raphael's every move.
“I don’t know yet.”
Raphael activated his Lingshi Eye. That green orb ...

Chapter 389 - Not Your Biological Daughter
With the Great Zhou’s ascension, the Southern Ridge Mountains were safe once more. Lu Chunqiu prepared to depart.
“I will leave my disciples here, to assist you in governing the kingdom.”
“Thank you, Father-in-Law.” Fan Li expressed his gratitude, still slightly bewildered by the shift in their dynamic. He'd never imagined he would one day tread so carefully around Lu Chunqiu. But he deserved it. Lu Fubao, aft...

Chapter 179 - The Fires of Rebellion
The rebel army, over a million strong, converged on Alubarna, filled with fury focused on King Cobra. The royal army, however, made no preparations for battle, instead they concentrated their efforts solely on evacuating the city’s citizens.
This wasn’t cowardice. Cobra had forbidden them to engage, unwilling to shed the blood of his own people. Some might scoff at his idealism, others might mock his naiveté. Regardless, Cobra...

Chapter 168 - Runic Spider Lords
BLINK!
Raphael’s eyes slowly opened. He was in darkness, suspended upside down and bound in sticky cobwebs. He thrashed frantically.
“What… What happened?!”
He looked around. He was in a large cavern, a nesting area sort of, for countless spider eggs, nestled within soft webs, lined the walls and ceiling.
A few eggs began to crack. Tiny amethyst spiders emerged.
Raphael shuddered. ‘Are they going to at...

When Qing Qiu returned, her elegant green robes were stained crimson. Fan Li’s heart leaped into his throat.
“Are you alright?!” He rushed to her side, but she seemed unharmed, her expression, however, was more subdued than usual.
She shook her head slightly. “He escaped.”

Within moments, Kaname Tōsen’s wounds had completely healed.
“High-speed regeneration?” Hitsugaya Toshiro was surprised. He hadn’t anticipated Tōsen gaining a Hollow’s regenerative abilities after his transformation. The healing, however, had come at a cost. Tōsen’s spiritual pressure had noticeably diminished.
“Ah, what a convenient ability,” Tōsen remarked, flexing his newly restored limbs. While his spiri...
