My Descendants Are My Power

As the cultivators from Azure Cloud exchanged words, their fighting spirit soared.

They knew that on Amber Hill stood Chuck, their comrade who had faced the Druids alongside them, who had shared life and death with them on the battlefield!

No matter how terrifying the Heavenly Path was, they would not retreat!

Sensing their determination, Bill Daoist exhaled slowly, a smile finally gracing his lips.

Truth be told... he was afraid too.

But now, he understood.

Perhaps it was on that day, when the Blackwoods had sought him out in the Abyss, when he had stepped foot into the chaotic battleground of Azure Cloud and fought alongside these people, that he had forged an unbreakable bond with the people of Cloudview County.

"Hoo."

He unleashed his psychic powers, summoning the Great Wall that stood guard at the border of Azure Cloud to shield Amber Hill from behind.

Eyes fixed coldly on the Heavenly Path Venerable projections, he charged forward.

"Come, my friends! Let us fight together! Do not let a single one set foot on Amber Hill!"

"Kill!!!"

...

The Emerald Empire had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, an epoch of countless power struggles and the rise and fall of mighty psychics.

Now, the empire was ruled with absolute authority by the emperor.

Over the years, the Emerald Empire had enjoyed periods of great prosperity, while its borderlands were periodically ravaged by disasters.

Sometimes, it was warmongers like Grand Tutor Gilbert who led their psychics on campaigns of conquest.

But peace and prosperity often bred corruption and complacency.

Now, within the Emerald Empire, two pairs of eyes were fixed on Amber Hill.

A Competent Force expert attempting to break through to Basic Mastery, along with a rising star like Chuck, was impossible to miss.

Perhaps they sought to recruit them like Lance, or perhaps...

...perhaps they simply watched the events unfolding on Amber Hill like a play, amused by the spectacle.

And if the mood struck them, they might descend like hunters toying with their prey!

"Fools, utter fools."

Decked in luxurious robes, Declan floated high in the air, far from the raging battle on Amber Hill.

The anger he had felt when trying to recruit Chuck had vanished, replaced by a strange sense of pity.

"With such talent, he could have pledged his allegiance to the national advisor and lived a life of peace and comfort. Yet he chooses this path of destruction. And those Azure Cloud psychics, daring to oppose the Heavenly Path... they are courting their own annihilation. Even the expert from Crystal Crest wouldn't dare to confront the Heavenly Path directly."

As his words echoed through the air, the battle on Amber Hill erupted!

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and torrential rain lashed down as the might of a Competent Force expert undergoing the tribulation shook the heavens.

Over three hundred psychics unleashed their powers, their advanced mystical equipment blazing with energy.

The chaotic yet magnificent spectacle filled the sky and earth with a maelstrom of psychic energy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The hundred or so cultivators from Azure Cloud were all seasoned veterans.

Their war against the Druids had raged for over a century.

Though outnumbered and outmatched, their techniques and skills inferior to those of the Heavenly Path Venerable projections, they fought with unwavering determination to defend Amber Hill, pushing back against their formidable foes.

It was ironic, in a way.

The Heavenly Path Venerable projections, though sharing the same consciousness, were hampered by their own distrust and inability to cooperate fully.

On the other hand, the cultivators from Azure Cloud, hailing from different backgrounds and with different experiences, fought together as one.

Bill Daoist and Hudson, both at the Basic Mastery realm, clashed in a dazzling display of psychic might high above the battlefield. Find more to read at empire

Donna and The Celestial Star Swordmaster, however, found themselves in a dire situation.

On the side of the Blackwoods, besides Donna, The Celestial Star Swordmaster, and an elder named Martin, there was only Charlie Crackle, the Exploding Sky Serpent who had accompanied Donna.

They were four Competent Force experts against twelve, including the monstrously powerful Brody!

"I'd heard rumors of the Blackwoods' rising stars. Nathan and Amelia, who both endured the nine-nine tribulation lightning. And then there's Marcus, a prodigy from my own Psychic Sanctuary. To think I'd encounter another survivor of the nine-nine tribulation lightning here, near Amber Hill."

Brody's voice was calm as he addressed Donna.

"A pity you're only at the initial stage of Competent Force. If you were at the peak, with your Supreme Overlord Body, you might actually pose a challenge. Unfortunately..."

Brody was truly exceptional!

He stood over seven feet tall, his face bearing the weathered look of a seasoned general.

Clad in silver armor etched with intricate runes, he cut an imposing figure.

The armor itself was no ordinary artifact.

It shielded him from Donna's attacks, her punches, which had even given the eighteenth-ranked Pinnacle Apprentice pause, failing to leave so much as a dent.

Every time she got close, shadowy apparitions would erupt from the armor, catching her off guard.

The spear he wielded was equally extraordinary.

It was massive, over ten feet long, its head covered in grooves.

With each swing, though its movements were visible to the naked eye, the spear seemed to pierce through space itself, its attacks arriving from unexpected angles.

The spear pulsed with mystical energy, wreathed in protective phoenix flames that burned with an unnatural intensity.

Above Brody's head, a golden bead hovered, emitting seven points of light that formed a pyramid-shaped barrier, trapping Donna within.

Adding to his already formidable power was the Phoenix Blood Physique.

A silver phoenix phantom danced around him, its screech amplifying his attacks, making them seem unstoppable, his psychic energy inexhaustible.

"He's strong!" Donna thought, her back against the edge of the barrier.

She had been pushed to her limit.

Brody, the third-ranked Pinnacle Apprentice, was at least ten times stronger than the eighteenth-ranked expert she had faced before!

Donna herself was no longer entirely human.

Twenty years of cultivating psychic powers, though she was only at the initial stage of Competent Force, had transformed her.

Her once fifteen-foot frame had shrunk to thirteen feet, her skin, visible beneath her vest-like armor, a tapestry of corded muscle and bulging veins.

She fought unarmed, her fists her most powerful weapons.

She was already giving it her all.

The Supreme Overlord Body and the Thunderclap Diamond Physique enhanced her strength to unimaginable levels.

Even a peak Competent Force expert wouldn't dare to take one of her punches head-on.

Her eyes, one black, one gold, pulsed with power.

She was drawing upon the full might of the sixth-grade Buddha-Demon Disk, her body crackling with lightning, her strength growing exponentially.

And behind her...

Grotesque tentacles, crackling with electricity, writhed in the air like the limbs of a monstrous kraken.

Her vertical eye, ever vigilant, tracked Brody's every move.

But even so...

One of her arms hung limp, pierced by multiple spear wounds that stood out starkly against her bulging muscles.

Thankfully, her Supreme Overlord Body possessed incredible regenerative abilities.

Her bones cracked back into place, and the gruesome wounds on her body closed rapidly, flesh knitting itself back together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"He's not even at full strength."

Donna gritted her teeth and vanished in a flash of movement.

But Brody simply stood there, casually swinging his spear.

When she reappeared, several new wounds marred her body.

A faint smile played on Brody's lips.

He was... toying with her!

No.

Donna's eyes narrowed.

She saw it.

A flicker of relief, a subtle increase in Brody's power.

She glanced beyond the confines of the barrier and saw that her comrades from Azure Cloud had slain one of the Heavenly Path Venerable projections!

It was a hollow victory, a grim reminder of the terrifying truth they all faced.

Their enemies were already terrifyingly powerful, and with each fallen projection, the remaining ones grew stronger!
