Unbelievable.
This doesn't make any sense.
"Why? How?"
Soul Chaser Huan Huan Yao Yao tightly shut his eyes to the devastation around him.
How did it co to this?
He had prided himself on never being surprised by anything, having reached the Transcendent Realm through Illusion Techniques.
"How..."
His voice trembled slightly, his graying hair tied up as he approached fifty years of age.
People tend to feel fear when faced with sights they cannot comprehend.
"Cough."
It had started simply enough.
All they had to do was chase down the one remnant left of the fallen Namgung Clan and find the key to their secret vault.
It was a task that could have been handled by sending just one Peak expert from the sect, without him needing to get involved.
However, due to the importance of the matter and the need for swift resolution, he had deployed his subordinate units to cast a Net of Heaven and Earth.
He had been getting irritated, wondering where the target had been hiding all this ti without a trace. Moreover, even the Vice Captain who had reported finding the target had gone silent, pushing his irritation to the extre.
Was it because he usually left the unit managent to them out of laziness? He thought it might be ti to instill so discipline.
That's when they found him. The Namgung Clan's young brat.
Judging by the surrounding traces, it seed his subordinates had already been dealt with. Surprising, considering the target appeared to be nothing more than a fresh-faced youth at the First-Rate Realm.
However, it could not be forgotten that he was an old hand who had road the ever so dangerous Jianghu for many years.
Before he even showed his surprise, he imdiately made his move.
Jianghu was full of eccentric individuals and events that defied logic. If one were to be surprised by each of these, their head would be the first to fall off.
Though he sensed only a handful of Inner Qi from his opponent, he didn't let his guard down.
He unleashed his Phantom Cloud Demonic Art. A vicious Illusion Technique that traps the target in a fog, showing them visions of being endlessly attacked by the beings they fear most.
His unique martial art that leads to death as the victim's Inner Qi is completely drained while they struggle in vain!
However, just as the brat seed to fall for the illusion, flailing his arms in panic like a startled deer...
Along with the brat's scream, a scene of hell on earth unfolded.

"Have you heard that rumor?"
"Ah, about the Intangible Divine Sword?"
"Who doesn't know about him these days? About the Intangible Divine Sword who can cut you just by eting your gaze."
"Haha. That's right. But from what I've heard, they say the Intangible Divine Sword is actually from the Namgung Clan bloodline?"
"There are rumors that a Sword Immortal descended from the heavens and possessed the last direct descendant of the Namgung Clan to punish the Demonic Cult bastards."
"Anyway, it's fortunate. Thanks to him, the Demonic Cult bastards have all retreated, claiming they need to regroup, right?"
"They say heroes erge in tis of chaos, and this fits perfectly."
The bustling inn suddenly fell silent. It was because everyone was listening intently to the conversation between the two martial artists. Realizing this, the martial artists cleared their throats and began speaking loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"But... there are also rumors like this. So say the Intangible Divine Sword was originally just an ordinary martial artist who obtained the power of an Immortal through human sacrifice, driven mad by revenge. Otherwise, how could soone jump from First-Rate to the realm of the Mind Sword in an instant? It doesn't make sense!"
"Hieek!"
"How dare you speak of him like that!"
"Oh my, oh my."
The ntion of human sacrifice caused a brief commotion in the quiet inn. Clearly, everyone showed great interest in the Intangible Divine Sword. Moreover, the martial artist speaking had deliberately chosen provocative words.
"Hmm... It's true that when he slaughters the Demonic Cult mbers, his face is filled with a terrifying aura."
"You know about that day too, right? The day the Heavenly Demon Sword appeared in the world."
"Kkkeung. That day, I truly thought a God of War, no, an Asura had descended."
The martial artist who continued speaking shuddered slightly, seemingly recalling the events of that day.
The incident that made the Intangible Divine Sword known throughout the Central Plains, also called the 'Demon Sword Blood Battle'.
The Intangible Divine Sword brought the Heavenly Demon Sword to the Martial Alliance and made a grand announcent.
-The Heavenly Demon Sword you seek is in my hands! Co and fight if you dare. I shall be waiting at Hubei, where the Wudang Sect used to be, in half a month!
It was the day when 30% of the Demonic Cult's invasion force for the Central Plains had gathered.
For so reason, even the Martial Alliance went to great lengths to publicize the Intangible Divine Sword's outrageous declaration.
And when that day ca.
It was said that barely over a hundred Demonic Cult mbers survived to return.
Rumors spread like wildfire.
It wasn't just Demonic Cult mbers who gathered in Hubei, where Wudang Mountain was located, on that day.
From wandering warriors who ca to watch after hearing the rumors, to a significant number from the Orthodox Factions, and even officials from the governnt; they all ca to witness.
An explosive tension enveloped Wudang Mountain. It was tense enough that a war could have broken out at any mont.
However.
-This is a personal matter related to the Heavenly Demon Sword, so others should not interfere! Even if it is you Demonic Cult mbers! If you touch anyone else, you shall never find the Heavenly Demon Sword!
At first, the Demonic Cult mbers couldn't hide their sneers. But that didn't last long. As soon as he started moving, their expressions turned pale.
Those who witnessed the horrific scene that day didn't dare to even think of challenging the Intangible Divine Sword.
It was a divine might so alien that everyone who watched sohow felt a sense of discomfort.
The phenonon of hundreds of Demonic Cult mbers being separated with a single strike was enough to even cause a pandemic of optical illusions. After all, it couldn’t be true.
Is there sothing wrong with my eyes? Why does it seem like my vision is split in half?
Eventually, a windstorm of Sword Qi erupted, inexplicably splitting everything within a 20-zhang radius around the Intangible Divine Sword.
The events of that day were still a hot topic of discussion.
"For so reason, they say he's gone into seclusion now."
"Indeed. If he had pushed a little more, we could have driven out all the Demonic Cult mbers. What a sha."
"I heard it is because of the karma from killing."
"But weren't those gathered at Mount Hubei that day the ones who had trampled the Central Plains and committed all sorts of heinous cris? Why should the Intangible Divine Sword suffer ntal anguish for that?!"
"Well... who knows. How can ignorant folks like us presu to understand his intentions?"
Surely, no one would dare to question the Intangible Divine Sword who had gone into seclusion.
And as for Namgung Jin.

I got a Vibroblade (SSR) on my first draw.. Is this good?

-Title: I am relieved. I have been going through so tough tis recently. It is not easy to talk about.
But still...

-Title: This is what I got this ti..
A bit disappointing. SR is just average, right?
Virdel closed the community page with a frown. The posts she had just seen were controversial topics that had been causing a stir recently.
"..."
There was sothing vaguely unpleasant about those posts.
While she personally didn't care much, if they were posts inciting discord within the community, she would have to intervene directly, so she couldn't help but worry.
Recently, changes in the [Integrated Dinsional Community] had led to a rapid increase in users.
If the new users were just engaging in normal activities, she wouldn't need to pay much attention, but the reality was different.
With the surge in users, the number of 'abnormal' users had also increased dramatically, keeping her busy lately. Of course, the new Moderator 'MagicIsJustForSupport' seed to be working hard, so she still had ti to practice her swordsmanship.
She closed her eyes and steadied her breathing.
Ssseup- Haaaa...
The sound of the flowing waterfall faded away, followed by the babbling of the stream. Even the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind disappeared as she gradually sank into the deep world of nothingness within herself.
All her bodily sensations focused inward, maintaining a state sowhere between the unconscious and conscious realms.
Twitch-
She felt sothing the size of a millet grain twitch near her heart. It felt different from the power source of her suit.
How to put it? A silver fla, perhaps?
Whenever she entered her Imagery Domain, a silver fla was always present.
What could it be?
She didn't know.
But she couldn't ignore it either.
That day not long ago, when she felt she had overco a small wall while practicing her Dinsional Slash.
She was aware that she had cut and annihilated sothing, but she didn't know what it was.
She could only worry about the anomalies that had occurred since then.
Especially since obtaining this fla, the strange sensations had been gradually expanding.
It was as if she could almost tangibly feel the world, the existence of dinsions.
But pondering alone yielded no answers, and it seed she would have to ask the Administrator.
She hesitated, wondering if she dared to speak to him first, but...
She bit her lip and steeled her resolve.
[(DevilKingVirdel): Uh... Excuse ... May I ask you sothing?]
[(Cosmic Emperor): Yeah?]
Her face, which had been pale, regained so color as she received an imdiate response.
[(DevilKingVirdel): Well... It is about sothing that happened recently....]
She earnestly explained the phenona she had been experiencing.
[(Cosmic Emperor): Hmm. Is that so?]
Fortunately, he seed to show /genesisforsaken
