Chapter 529: Absorbing the Lotus

Jack surveyed the crowd of disciples. All were sitting on their knees on the partially destroyed, centermost dirt island.

“So,” he said, tossing the middle A-Grade core in his hand up and down, “I guess we’re all that’s left.” View Post

Chapter 528: Ferryman of the Dead

A battle of tremendous scale was splitting the stars in the Spiral Stair galaxy. Energy blasts shot left and right—summoned beasts roared, smashing through dozens of cultivators, as powerful fighters went amok behind enemy lines. Magic was every...

Chapter 527: Bro Supremacy

Jack smashed into the many weapons and monsters summoned by Elder Shadowhound. Each was wrought of darkness and pain, their sharp edges glinting without light. They seemed deadly. Yet, they were nothing but figments of the imagination, parts of Sh...

Chapter 526: The Hunter Stalks

The Elders floated forward slowly. Owlhead and Shadowhound took the lead this time, putting their lives on the line for treasure. The remaining three Elders followed. Jack watched from a distance.

As their feet treaded on air, they cautiousl...

Chapter 524: Hidden Colors

Happy new week bros!

On the subject of Jack's duel with Elder Hero: It was brought to my attention I blundered. The Summit chapters set the duel in 50 years, but I misremembered and made it 30 in future chapters. I've gone through all the ch...

No Chap Today, Two Tomorrow. New House!?

Sup bros. You know the drill. Can't edit today (though I did write tons) so you'll get a double release tomorrow.

On other news, I'm getting a house! And by God is it annoying. Just today I've spoken with like five different people (lawyers,...

Chapter 521: Exploring the Dark Canal

Soon after they landed in the Dark Canal, everyone broke off. The Elders of both factions rushed in all directions—stepping on the wind, teleporting, or running on four legs—while even the Overlords parted space and disappeared. Soon, the only...

Chapter 520: Entering the Dark Canal

Two weeks later, Jack’s eyes slowly opened. He sensed the restlessness in the camp surrounding him. He smiled.

“It’s time.”

He got up and opened the tent flap—they’d occupied the tents of the defeated disciples—to witness...

Chapter 519: Taking Spots

Sup bros. Shorter chapter this time, but, uh, happens. There'll be plenty of fighting later, don't worry.

Chapter 517: Elder Divine

Jack finished eating, then took a well-deserved 36-hour nap. Finally, he awoke, still in the cave and rearing to go.

For the first time in three and a half years, he opened his status screen.

Chapter 516: Absorbing the Overlord Core

The overlord core contained a large, stormy black ocean. As Jack focused on it, he saw himself growing smaller and smaller, rapped by the winds of this storm.

In the huge sphere which dominated his perception, dark lightning flashed, sheddin...

Chapter 515: Resolve

Brock and Starhair flew over a blackened and ruined patch of earth. Since they’d retreated so far away before, it took them some time to find Jack. Once they did, Brock rushed over.

“Bro!” he said, stars filling his eyes. “That was s...

Chapter 514: Fighting A-Grade

After the auction was over, the crowd didn’t disperse right away. They couldn’t if they wanted to. The streets were so packed that people formed long lines, many monsters fighting each other in the confusio...

Chapter 511: Betting Frenzy

Chapter 510: Empty Star Auction

Chapter 509: World of Heroes

After the two overlord faction Elders left, Jack remained as today’s greatest winner.

He had defended Empty Star’s and Great Silver’s honor. He’d won a valiant duel before tens of thousands of monsters. He’d jumped two small realms...

Chapter 508: Spanking Saturnstar

Jack took to the air. He remained in his Double Devil transformation. His middle B-Grade aura roiled, just a fraction of his opponent’s. Crownbeast Saturnstar cracked a grin.

Chapter 503: Double Trouble

The turtle instructed him on what sounds to make. It was easy with his intelligence, just weird. The space monster language was unique. It involved all sorts of sounds ranging from clicks, to howls, to actual letters. It felt like tongue yoga.
