Spirit Hall – Celestial Sanctum Training Fields
A brilliant corona of light burst across the sky.
Qian Tian stood at the center of a spiraling training array, ethereal lines etched with Seraphic Glyphs glowing in response to his presence. Beside him, Qian Renxue floated within a golden sphere of light, suspended mid-air, her dual spirits pulsing in harmony.

Qian Tian raised his halberd, carving ancient sigils in the air. His voice was calm, yet suffused with celestial might.
"Renxue. Focus. Let the flames of rebirth flow with your seraphic lineage. You are the bridge between judgment and salvation."
Renxue grit her teeth, golden sweat rolling down her brow. She screamed—and in that moment, both spirits merged into a being of pure celestial radiance.
Her wings expanded—twelve in total, each feather a blade of light.
🌌 Beast Continent – Depths of the Ancestral Forest
A seismic pulse shattered the silence.
Deep within an ancient cavern wrapped in void mist and icy roots, a monstrous eye opened—its pupil a swirling blend of frost and flame.
Ancient Divine Spirit Beast Detected: [Skal'Ruun the Riftwyrm]➤ Classification: Anomaly Entity➤ Past Status: Killed by Divine Seraphs during the Age of Collapse➤ Current Status: Revived through World Anomaly. Drawn to [Frostfire Judgment Signature].
The great wyrm roared, dimensional cracks spiderwebbing across the forest sky. Spirit beasts across the continent howled, instinctively submitting to an apex predator that shouldn't exist.
Atop a cliff nearby, Dugu Bo's face went pale.
"This… this is no spirit beast. This is a natural disaster with a heartbeat."
🐉 Nuoding City – Tang Sect Courtyard
Tang San meditated under the moonlit waterfall, spirit energy swirling around him like soft threads.
Suddenly, his senses screamed.
Anomaly Surge Detected. Divine Signature Approaching From the South.New Target Registered: [Skal'Ruun]Danger Level: Cataclysmic
The jade token in his pocket pulsed for the first time. A whisper echoed from the stone—
"If you want to protect what's dear, awaken the art lost to time—Skybreaking Chain Arts."
Tang San opened his eyes, filled with resolution.
🌺 Spirit Hall – War Council Chambers
A map hovered in projection over the obsidian table.
Qian Tian stood with arms folded, aura calm but iron-sharp. Beside him sat Renxue, dressed in battle robes woven from solar silk, her aura now far more commanding.
Flanking them: Spirit Hall's elite—Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and a new figure cloaked in divine armor—Xuanyin Douluo, the Ice Lawkeeper from the Outer Realms.
"The Riftwyrm moves toward the human realm," Xuanyin reported, her voice cool as winter rain. "It will breach the Beast-Human Boundary in five days. At its current pace… it will reach Nuoding."
Qian Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Then we meet it halfway."

🌠 That Night – Private Garden
Renxue sat by the moonlit pool, wings tucked behind her, gazing into the water.
"You don't seem worried," she said softly.
Qian Tian stood nearby, eyes raised to the stars.
"I've fought gods. This beast is just the world trying to restore balance. But this world doesn't know me yet."
He turned to her, golden fire dancing in his eyes.
"After this… it will."
🌀 End of Chapter 6

Tang San and Xiao Wu are drawn into the chaos, setting the stage for an early meeting of titans.
Qian Tian's system detects a second reincarnator… one already embedded in the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family.
The line between fate and freedom begins to blur.
