I alone am the Honoured One!

The battlefield roared with chaos, the scent of blood thick in the air as screams and the clash of steel rang throughout the war-torn sect grounds.

Zhao Tian’s blade carved through another evil cultivator with a single stroke, severing the man’s torso in a clean arc.

Blood splattered against the charred ground, but he had no time to stop.

The spatial distortions around him bent, slicing apart his enemies before they could even react.

Just as he turned to strike another enemy, a familiar voice cut through the turmoil.

"Tian…"

He flicked his gaze to the side, spotting Yao Jing dashing toward him through the debris-laden sky.

The moment she reached him, she landed gracefully, her fiery eyes locking onto his.

"Jing’er," Zhao Tian muttered, cutting down another enemy before flicking the blood from his blade.

She smirked, heat radiating from her body as she clenched her fists, flames igniting along her arms. "Let me join too."

Zhao Tian didn’t hesitate, as he knew better than to refuse her.

With a nod, he leaped forward, and Yao Jing followed, both of them tearing into the battlefield together.

Zhao Tian flickered in and out, teleporting between clusters of evil cultivators, his sword leaving behind arcs of spatial tears that sliced through bodies before they could even react.

*sleesh* He reappeared behind an enemy, his blade shimmering with condensed lightning as he drove it clean through the man’s back.

"GUH!" The cultivator let out a strangled gasp before disintegrating, his body unable to withstand the sheer force of the elemental energy.

At the same time, Yao Jing danced through the air as fire erupted around her.

She spun mid-air, a crescent arc of fire shooting outward, engulfing several enemies at once.

"ARGHHH!!" Their screams echoed through the battlefield as they burned alive, their flesh turning to ash within moments.

One evil cultivator lunged at her from behind with a wicked grin on his face as he aimed a jagged blade toward her exposed back.

FWOOSH!

Before his blade could make contact, a chain of fire snapped in, wrapping around his wrist.

His eyes widened in horror, but before he could even scream— Stay updated via NovelBin.Côm

BOOM!

Yao Jing clenched her fist, and the fire chain exploded, vaporizing the man’s entire arm and half his torso.

His charred remains fell to the ground with a lifeless thud.

She let out a breath, flipping backward to avoid another incoming attack. "Tian!" she called out.

Without needing any more words, Zhao Tian teleported to her side, his blade already coated in flames.

With a swift motion, he slashed downward, the energy in his sword swallowing the cultivators.

The ground beneath them cracked as a gravitational force pulled the enemies, their bodies warping before crushing into meat paste.

A group of six evil cultivators tried to surround them.

"Formation!" one of them shouted as their energies began to sync together.

The ground trembled as a massive beast formed above their heads... a grotesque fusion of twisted souls, its hollow eyes glowing with eerie purple flames.

Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes. "A soul-meld construct..."

Yao Jing smirked, flames crackling in her palm. "Tian, let’s destroy it together."

Without hesitation, she dashed forward, flipping over Zhao Tian as her flames erupted into a colossal fire.

At the same time, Zhao Tian raised his sword, the space around it distorting violently.

The fire sank its fangs into the spectral beast, and at that exact moment, Zhao Tian appeared above them, his blade glowing with a dense combination of space energy and lightning.

He slashed downward and a massive tear in space erupted from his sword, colliding with the beast just as the fire detonated from within.

BOOOOOOOM!

The evil cultivators barely had time to scream before they were torn apart, their bodies reduced to nothing but burnt remnants and scattered energy.

When the smoke cleared, Zhao Tian and Yao Jing stood side by side, looking at the ruined battlefield.

She turned to him with a smirk "Not bad, Tian. We make a good team."

"Yeah, yeah..."

...

Meanwhile, up in the sky, Ji Shuang was looking at the ark, which was slowly coming down from the red portal.

’Why is he late... even all of his elders are dead. Did he get the key?’

’I don’t know what is going on in the capital...’

Her gaze narrowed as she saw the group of people stepping out of the ark in mid-air.

’Rhudamanth...’

As she was thinking, suddenly a bright purple light flickered across the whole sky.

Huh? This confused everyone; even the vampires were also confused and looked around.

Rhudamanth who just stepped out of the ark, raised an eyebrow at the sudden purple light. ’What is happening...’

Ji Shuang turned her gaze to look at the ark of the Evil Cultivators, where their leader was standing on top of the ark, saying something.

Hei Xiu laughed maniacally as he raised his hand above the sky

Suddenly, purple runic patterns appeared all above the battlefield, bathing the whole sect in an eerie purple light.

Hei Xiu’s smile widened as he yelled

"By the echoes of the first dawn, by the fire that burned the stars—"

"By the weight of forgotten gods, by the tide that shaped the land—"

"Rise, ye Colossi, lost to time! Awaken, ye Paragon, forsaken divine!"

"From the void beyond the heavens, from the tombs beneath the stone—"

"Let your shackles turn to dust, let your voices shake the throne!"

"In ruin and creation both, in balance and in wrath—"

"Return to tread upon the world, and carve anew the path!" @@novelbin@@

"By this blood, by this will, by this oath—"

"I call thee forth!"

*FEEENNN* A deep, resonant pulse shook the sky.

The corpses scattered across the battlefield... disciples, vampires, and evil cultivators suddenly began to dissolve into motes of glowing energy, and their remains siphoned into the runes hovering above.

Rhudamanth, still standing at the edge of the ark, narrowed his crimson eyes as he observed the strange phenomenon. "What in the hell is this?"

Ji Shuang’s eyes darted between the glowing sky and the battlefield below,

’What the hell are they summoning?’

A cataclysmic explosion of violet energy surged outward, swallowing the entire battlefield in a blinding flare.

The air warped, distorting the space itself, and within the swirling storm of purple fire and darkness...

They began to emerge.
