Dominic Lowe had toiled for most of his life and deserved to enjoy his later years in peace.
With those words, Braydon Neal clasped his hands behind his back and ascended into the sky.
Draped in garments as white as snow, he surged forward with incredible speed, the wind whipping around him.
At a staggering rate of 9,000 meters per second, he left behind a resounding sonic boom as he soared.
Yet, amidst his departure, Judith Nealâs cries echoed from the manor. âDaddy, please donât go,â the little girl sobbed, stirring Heather Sage from her slumber.
âMommy, I want to help Daddy,â chimed in Trevon Neal, his eyes pleading.
Heather, bending down to console her son, reassured him, âTrevon, youâre still young. There will be time for you to assist Daddy when youâre older.â
As the family of four faced separation once more, Braydon pressed onward, committed to the path he had chosen.

Crossing borders with spatial translocation, he traversed the skies within the nation, a show of force to assert his presence.
This display served as a warning to any who dared challenge him, a reminder that Braydon remained a force to be reckoned with.
Meanwhile, on South Pole Island, ten thousand people, spanning generations, awaited the arrival of someone significant.
Today, the leader of the Global Martial Artist Alliance would arrive at South Pole Island, representing both the alliance and the hundred countries in declaring war on the ruins.
This alliance chief harbored ambitions to conquer the ruins.
On the distant horizon, Braydon strode across the waves, a commanding presence.
âAlliance Chief!â Finley Yanagi, Martial Emperor Yanagi, and others bowed respectfully before him.
âAlliance Chief!â Elders from various countries, diverse in skin color, all humbled themselves before Braydon, the worldâs foremost expert.
âSend a hundred individuals to accompany me into the 40th ruin,â Braydon, also the Alliance Chief, requested calmly.
âWeâll accompany you, Brother!â Jonah Shaw and others stepped forward, embodying the new order established by the Northern Army men, now overlords.
However, Braydonâs expression shifted as he addressed Luke Yates, âCome with me. The rest, guard the 16th ruin. From today, I care not for my own life. The Northern Army will protect the 16th ruin. Disregard any orders, even from the Martial Emperor!â
The 16th ruin, the foundational safe zone, was paramount.
All in the Northern Army were bound by this decree, hidden agents included, who now understood their course of action should Braydon fall.
âBrother!â Luke, accompanied by his trusty donkey, approached. âI want to bring my donkey along,â he declared breathlessly.
âItâs your decision. The remaining 99 will be selected from the Global Martial Artist Alliance,â Braydon stated, hands clasped behind his back, his authority undisputed.
âYes, sir!â
Heads bowed in deference.
Braydonâs words held the weight of the Alliance Chief.
In less than fifteen minutes, Haven Downing, Jaziel Sherman, Lior Neal, Jovon Stanton, Korbyn Jessen, Zyaire Tackett, Elston Jemison, Martin Lovett, Brady Thurman and Shawn Jeffcoat had all assembled.
They represented the Ten Great Empires, with some holding the position of deputy chief of the alliance.
Intent on venturing together, they occupied ten spots, each requiring roughly nine additional members to complete their hundred-man team.
Without hesitation, the hundred-man team was swiftly organized, with no one backing down.
Perhaps each member had steeled themselves for the possibility of sacrificing their lives, recognizing the imminent threat posed by the aborigines of the ruins to the entire world.
This battle was inevitable.
Standing before the 40th bronze door, where ninety percent of the main door had succumbed to corrosion, Braydonâs group faced a daunting prospect.
Sensing the tension, Luke, ever the opportunist, suggested, âWhy not get them to be the scouts?â
His suggestion prompted looks of displeasure from Jaziel and the rest.
Addressing the group with solemnity, Braydon laid out their mission.
âOnce we enter, Iâll lead the charge. Your task is to secure the storage equipment from the aboriginal experts. Understood?â
âNorthern King Neal, we arenât weak! We can help you!â a fair-skinned emperor from the Iota Empire said sincerely.
Despite the protest, Braydon, however, cautioned against underestimating the power of divines.
âYou donât comprehend the true terror of a divine. Before them, emperors are mere ants.â
With resolve in his gaze, Braydon pressed his left hand against the bronze door frame, causing it to collapse inward.
The passageway had opened!
With a swift swoosh, Braydon darted inside.
Beyond the bronze door awaited twenty-seven divine-level creaturesâplant demons, spirit beasts, and even aboriginal divine-level characters.
âThere are intruders!â bellowed a silver-winged flood dragon, but the warning came too late.
Braydon plunged in, swift and silent.
Without hesitation, he unleashed nine Shadow Flying Daggers with a mere thought, releasing all three banished immortals in a single fluid motion.
A flick of his wrist sent a surge of power rippling through the air, killing divine-level creatures with ease.
Green Lotus, wielding the path of time, emerged as the most formidable adversary.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Activating the time domain, he reigned supreme.
Yet, Braydon, in tandem with the three banished immortals, swiftly killed eight divine-level creatures.
In a mere seven seconds, eight divine-level characters lay vanquished.
Luke, unable to contain his awe, muttered, âHow incredible!â
Meanwhile, Haven and the hundred others stood in stunned silence, astonished by Braydonâs unfathomable might.
It was no wonder he had pacified the 16th ruin.
The sheer combat prowess was truly staggering!
âExtreme divine!â roared the silver-winged flood dragon.
âWho are you?!â demanded the eighteen surviving divine-level characters, immediately dispersing.
Braydon stood proudly in the sky, flanked by the three banished immortals.
His lips parted slightly. âSpirit Summoning Art. Convert all plants into swords!â
With a swift swoosh, the strongest sword intent manifested, transforming all flora and foliage into lethal blades.
âThe Heavenly Mountain Sovereign Lord!â quivered the silver-winged flood dragon. âThe eighth successor?â
Terror gripped the aborigines.
A millennium prior, the Seventh Sovereign Lord had instilled fear throughout the ruins.
Now, the heir of Heavenly Mountain had emerged.
âA thousand years have passed,â murmured one of the aborigines in a hushed tone. âHe canât be the same elder from the eighth generation. He must be the ninth!â
âAttack!â roared a vine plant demon, driven to madness.
They had neared victory, on the cusp of breaching the bronze door, only to face a formidable adversary.
The sword intent pervading the heavens was as chilling as frost.
Within, Braydon closed his eyes and spoke softly,
âI recognize the Spirit Sea Xander Lastorâs sword. It exudes purity and terror. Its manifestation signifies the singular path of the sword!â
âThe sword path domain does evoke a sense of familiarity,â Braydonâs voice resonated with the weight of experience.
Indeed, Xanderâs sword left an indelible impression on Braydon.
That familiar sensation was akin to a past possession of such a domainâa sense of déjà vu washed over him.
The intensity of the sword intent surged, enveloping Braydon.
He closed his eyes, and an unfamiliar power slowly emanated from his being.
âA domain?â exclaimed Star Towerâs artifact spirit in astonishment.
Entering the second realm!
Braydonâs body already hosted a time domain, as comprehended by the Green Lotus Banished Immortal.
Now, he stood on the brink of understanding a second domainâthe sword path domain.
Previously, Xanderâs sword had nudged Braydon towards this breakthrough, albeit faintly.
Hindered by Trevonâs presence, he had suppressed this urge.
But now, the opportune moment had arrived.
Within a hundred-meter radius of Braydon, an overwhelming pressure expelled external forces, signifying the emergence of an invisible domain.
With a swift swoosh, the swords wielded by Haven and the others hummed to life.
They levitated in midair, blades flexing as if bowing before their masterâs newfound power.
