My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 398 We will live each day as if it were our last Part 2

"You spent years preparing, yet you still let them escape?" Brody scoffed, gazing at the gradually forming domain in his hand, his eyes cold.

"But I should thank you for making me stronger. When we meet again, I will repay every bit of humiliation you inflicted upon me. And you… you will regret ever letting me live!"

Meanwhile, high in the sky, Donna flew alongside her Azure Cloud comrades, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

"The Forebearer was right. We must live each day as if it were our last. I'm glad I was cautious every step of the way; otherwise, leaving Radiant Sky Grotto would have led us straight into the Heavenly Path's trap."

"Hahaha, those AI Bionic Robots must have taken out quite a few Heavenly Path projections!" Sam burst into laughter, then turned to Donna with a curious glint in his eyes.

"Donna, where are we headed?"

"To cultivate," Donna replied, her gaze fixed on the horizon.

She knew that in a hundred years, they would face a decisive battle against the Heavenly Path Venerable, a battle even more perilous than the one at Amber Hill.

"There's no better place for us to train than the Five Elements Forbidden Zone."

"The Five Elements Forbidden Zone? What is that place?" Sam's face paled slightly at the ominous-sounding name.

…

As Donna and the Azure Cloud members made their escape, the Heavenly Path projections within Sunshine Mansion were also gathering.

Their destination… the Druids' territory, where Nathan was cultivating!

They arrived at the edge of the Endless Forest and waited patiently.

One by one, Psychics rose into the air, their formidable auras on full display, creating an intimidating sight.

It wasn't long before their expressions turned grim.

An old man clad in black robes approached, his face etched with Druidic markings.

"Shane, where is Nathan?" Austin demanded, his gaze fixed on Shane.

He had spent years scheming, uncovering Shane's secrets to force his cooperation.

Their deal was simple: hand over Nathan!

But Shane stood before him empty-handed.

The Druid elder sighed.

"He's gone. He's been secluding himself within the Psychic Sanctuary for months, cultivating. I set up formations around his cultivation spot, alerting me to any movement. But…"

Shane's face contorted with a mixture of anger and humiliation.

"But I never expected him to have been hiding his true strength all these years. He saw through all my formations. Moreover, our deal… the White Rising Star of the Druids, Arnold, discovered everything. Two months ago, Nathan slipped away. When I arrived, all that remained was a message inscribed with psychic power."

"What did it say?" Austin asked, surprisingly calm about Nathan's escape.

He seemed more interested in the message itself.

Shane spat out the words through gritted teeth.

"He said… that he would have both our heads one day!"

"Hahaha, I eagerly await that day!" Austin threw back his head and laughed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The anger he had felt over the escaped Rising Stars had long faded.

Instead, he felt a surge of exhilaration.

Throughout his rise to power, he had overcome countless obstacles, clawing his way from a branch family to become the head of the Roberts family, wielding absolute authority over Kylin Mountain.

But as the years passed, he had begun to crave a worthy opponent.

Now…

Those Rising Stars sought to tear him limb from limb, and the Blackwoods had a prodigy who dared to threaten his life.

The thrill of the hunt had returned!

Unbeknownst to Shane and Austin, however, a pair of eyes watched them from atop a distant mountain, observing Austin's gleeful expression.

"Mr. Nathan, it seems you've attracted the attention of some rather… peculiar individuals."

Over the years, Nathan's friend, Mike, had broken through to Basic Mastery.

He eyed the distant Austin with a mixture of amusement and disgust.

If someone like that were after him, he wouldn't be able to meditate peacefully.

Nathan nodded slowly.

"That is the man who invaded my Glory City, the enemy of my clan."

Seeing Nathan's calm demeanor, Mike and Arnold exchanged glances, a flicker of hope igniting within them.

Although Nathan had dedicated himself to cultivation these past few years, they could sense the lingering resentment within him, threatening to consume him.

But now… the Nathan they knew was back.

Moreover, things were different now.

They no longer saw the Blackwoods as enemies.

In fact, they wouldn't mind having them as allies, offering a helping hand to a friend in need.

…

Just as Ethan had predicted, the Blackwoods were now incredibly cautious.

They knew that the Heavenly Path Venerable would stop at nothing to exact his revenge!

However, their constant vigilance also fueled their growth.

[Blackwood Year 265]

Donna, leading the forty-three survivors of Amber Hill, arrived at a strange and desolate land.

It was the northern edge of the continent, the coldest region in the entire Emerald Empire.

A pristine expanse of snow and ice stretched before them, a world of pure white.

When the twelve border cities had been ceded to the Druids, many factions had initially considered migrating north to establish a new haven.

But even their most ambitious plans hadn't taken them this far…

"Legend has it that further north, the cold is so extreme that even Emerging Ability Psychics can't withstand it. And beyond that… even Developing Skill Psychics would need to expend their psychic power to survive. This place is also home to snow beasts that attack on sight."

Sam had only read about such places in books.

But since leaving the Azure Cloud, he had journeyed to countless locations, albeit for brief periods.

Still, he had experienced the vastness of the world firsthand.

Gazing at this world of snow and ice, he couldn't help but shiver, even though he felt no cold.

"Donna, is the Five Elements Forbidden Zone located in a place like this?"

"Yes," Donna replied, nodding slightly.

She took out an energy locator.

"General Owen gave me this. He visited the Five Elements Forbidden Zone with the Grand Tutor during their military campaigns. It's the ideal place to train one's physique. My master also cultivated there."

"Here, we should be able to avoid the Heavenly Path's gaze while you train in peace. Then, in a hundred years, you can join me in our assault on Sunshine Mansion."

"Alright!" The Azure Cloud members voiced their agreement without hesitation.

They had learned from the Blackwoods that if the Heavenly Path wasn't stopped, the Azure Cloud would eventually face annihilation.

Having witnessed the Heavenly Path's ruthlessness firsthand, they didn't doubt the Blackwoods' words.

They continued their journey until they reached a valley blanketed in snow, the sky ablaze with colorful aurora borealis.

Sam stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowing.

He sensed an incredibly dense concentration of elemental energy emanating from the valley ahead.

He cautiously extended his hand, his expression shifting drastically as his psychic power surged forth.

There was nothing there, yet a wave of multicolored light erupted, attempting to devour his hand!
