The servant lady directly kneeled before Simon and stretched her hands to pass the information letter. Enjoy more content from empire
“Master Simon, a message from your father,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Simon paused, lowering his staff as he took the slip from her hands. His eyes scanned the contents quickly, and a triumphant grin spread across his face.
“What a great news!… The upcoming Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering, And my confirmed slot at the center, very close to the Soul Stone of War God.” He murmured to himself.
A manic laugh erupted from his throat, echoing through the now-quiet mountain range. He looked at the young lady, his eyes gleaming with a wild light. “This is perfect. Absolutely perfect!”
Without warning, he grabbed her by the arm and began walking towards the nearby forest, his grip firm but not harsh. The young lady stumbled slightly, trying to keep up with his long strides, her face a mixture of helplessness and fear.
“What is your name?” Simon asked abruptly, his tone commanding.
“L-Lina, Master Simon,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Well, Lina,” he said, a triumphant smile playing on his lips, “today is a day for celebration. Be my doll for sometime.” He chuckled and licked his lips with a lustful stare.
As they entered the forest, the sunlight filtering through the dense canopy, Simon’s mind raced with thoughts of the Immortal Beast Spirit Gathering. The center slot, close to the Soul Stone of War God, was the most coveted position.
For Simon Mama, son of the head of the Nine Realms Association, the path to greatness was clear. He would crush anyone who dared to stand in his way, securing his position as the next head of the association and cementing his legacy as one of the most powerful beings in existence.
His triumphant smile never wavered as he led Lina deeper into the forest, his mind already thinking of what to do with the alluring body of the lady..
The mountain behind them lay in ruins, a testament to his unchallenged might. And with the upcoming gathering, Simon knew that his true ascent was only just beginning.

Mountain Devil Forest…
Another month had passed, each day bringing Kent closer to mastering the ‘Tempestuous Defense.’ The 4th stage of the Storm God Tyrant Physique.
For the last ten days, he had remained motionless, meditating beneath the ancient white wood tree, its branches extending like protective arms over him. The air around him crackled with lightning energy, a testament to the intense cultivation taking place.
Every day, while Kent immersed himself in the cultivation of ‘Tempestuous Defense,’ Tang Zi added storm stones and lightning dao crystals around Kent and took charge of training his pets.
Jabil, and Fire Kirin Kavi, with their imposing presence, were subjected to rigorous routines. Tang Zi led them through the dense forest, teaching them the art of hunting and domination.
Under his guidance, and fueled by the nutritious spiritual fruits and meats of evolved beasts, Jabil and Kavi grew stronger, their bodies becoming sturdier and more resilient. Their muscles rippled with newfound strength, and their eyes gleamed with heightened intelligence and ferocity.
The baby dragon, small yet majestic, stayed with Kent throughout, its scales shimmering with a faint, otherworldly light. It curled around Kent, providing warmth and a sense of companionship, its presence a silent guardian to his meditative state.
As days passed, gradually, an electric defense began to take shape around Kent. At first, it was barely visible, a faint shimmer that danced across his skin. But with each passing day, the electric barrier grew more defined and formidable. The air around him sizzled with energy, tiny sparks flickering and snapping as the barrier became more robust.
Seven more days passed in this rigorous routine. The white wood tree stood sentinel, its bark glowing softly in the ambient light of the dao crystals.
Finally, on the seventh day, Kent opened his eyes. They shone with a brilliant light, the electric barrier around him now fully integrated into his being. He rose slowly, feeling the electric energy coursing through his veins, a testament to his successful cultivation.
Tang Zi approached with a proud smile. “It’s time to test your defense.”
With a swift motion, he signaled to the forest, and from its depths emerged several ferocious beasts. These were no ordinary creatures; they were the apex predators of the forest, each one a formidable opponent. Their eyes glinted with a mix of curiosity and aggression as they approached.
Tang Zi stepped back, giving Kent space as the beasts circled him. “Remember, the ‘Tempestuous-Defense’ is as much about your mental fortitude as it is about your physical barrier.”
The first beast, a massive, horned bear, lunged at Kent with incredible speed. Its claws slashed through the air, aiming straight for him. But the moment it made contact with the electric barrier, a surge of electricity coursed through its body, throwing it back with a yelp of pain.
Undeterred, the next beast, a giant feline with razor-sharp claws, pounced. It too was repelled by the electric barrier, the energy discharging with a brilliant flash that singed its fur. One by one, the beasts attacked, and each time, the barrier held firm, repelling them with increasing force.
Kent’s confidence grew with each successful defense. He could feel the barrier responding to his will, its strength a reflection of his inner resolve. The energy flowed effortlessly, the electric arcs dancing around him like a living entity.
Tang Zi watched with satisfaction as Kent’s barrier proved impenetrable. “Excellent… You’ve truly mastered the ‘Tempestuous-Defense.'”
As the last of the beasts retreated, defeated, Kent stood tall, the electric barrier shimmering around him like a second skin. He had done it. The ‘Tempestuous Defense’ was no longer just a technique; it was a part of him.

Far from the mainland of the Blue Planet, a flowery chariot soared through the skies near the Eastern Island of the Deity Sect.
The chariot, adorned with vibrant blossoms and intricate carvings, moved at a moderate speed, propelled by an unseen force. Inside the chariot, Supreme Sword Magus and Supreme Staff Magus Ruchi sat in contemplative silence, the gentle hum of the chariot’s motion the only sound between them.
