Within My Sect, All Realms Unite-Chapter 10: Sovereign’s will

Lin Xiaotian exhaled slowly and opened his eyes. Ten days have passed.

The Celestial Genesis Ichor pool once vast and milky had completely run dry. What remained was only a shallow depression of smooth stone, faint traces of spiritual residue evaporating into the air.

He rose to his feet sensing his cultivation Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

His spiritual sense expanded instinctively. It was no longer the vague, blurry perception of Qi Transformation instead it was structured and solid Like invisible threads spreading outward.

His foundation felt terrifyingly stable not rushed or hollow but like a well forged iron.

He clenched his fist slightly and Spiritual energy flowed smoothly, dense and obedient.

Around him, the disciples were waking one by one every single one of them had broken through. Foundation Establishment.

Even the weakest among them had crossed the barrier. Lin’s lips curved slightly.

Then his gaze shifted towards Yan Feng and Ciao Xiaoshan the atmosphere around those two was... abnormal.

Yan Feng sat upright, aura restrained, but a sharpness radiated from him. Not raw spiritual pressure something more refined. Sword intent.

It flickered faintly around him like invisible blades humming at the edge of reality.

Ciao Xiaoshan...

Lin’s eyes narrowed the massive youth was encased in something.

A strange bronze cocoon had formed around his body thick, pulsating, shaped almost like an egg. Veins of light ran across its surface in rhythmic patterns.

Each pulse shook the cavern slightly before Lin could analyze further, his spiritual perception caught something else.

A violent surge of spiritual energy from both of them he shouted "Everyone out of the pool. Now."

The disciples reacted without hesitation. They leapt out of the empty basin and retreated toward the cavern walls.

The air thickened as Yan Feng’s aura sharpened.

BOOM!

A beam of condensed spiritual energy shot out from Yan Feng’s body.

It sliced across the cavern like a streak of light and slammed into a massive boulder at the edge of the chamber.

The rock didn’t just crack it directly disintegrated into particles of dust not even fragments left.

Lin’s pupils shrank he has contributed sword intent second layer sword aura at Foundation Establishment First Layer.

His lips twitched faintly. Yan Feng opened his eyes slowly calm and composed.

He stood and walked forward, then bowed deeply. "Thank you, Sect Master," he said quietly. "If not for you, I would either be dead... or rotting in some forgotten alley. of the city"

Lin waved a hand lightly. "It is natural," he said with a dignified tone. "You are a disciple of this sect. As Sect Master, it is my duty to guide and protect you."

His posture was composed and Authoritative.

But behind his calm expression, a light flickered in his eyes and he inwardly ranted. "What are you a monster you cultivated sword aura just like that and what of first layer I would believe you even if you say ninth layer depending on the fluctuations you are emitting."

Before he could continue thinking, the entire cavern trembled. For a split second, his heart tightened.

Has the seven-tailed beast forced its way in? he turned sharply toward the tunnel entrance.

But nothing instead the tremor was coming from behind him. From the cocoon.

Ciao Xiaoshan’s bronze shell cracked. Once, Twice and then it split open violently.

Fragments of hardened spiritual energy scattered outward as a towering figure stepped forward.

Silence. Every disciple stared Ciao Xiaoshan had grown and not by just a little but Ten feet tall.

His body was sculpted like forged metal, skin bronze and faintly reflective. Every muscle seemed carved from stone.

When he took a step forward

Crack.

The cavern floor fractured beneath his weight he scratched his head awkwardly. His voice boomed like distant thunder.

"It seems... I have also broken through Foundation Establishment, Sect Master."

Lin stared. The massive halberd that once looked oversized now appeared... proportionate.

Worse all his clothes had been completely torn apart. The female disciples instantly turned away, faces flushed.

Lin’s eyelid twitched violently. Without hesitation, he clamped a hand over Yan Feng’s eyes.

With the other hand, he covered the vision of the twin boys. "Some things," he said flatly, "are not meant to be seen."

Ciao blinked in confusion. Lin immediately retrieved his own outer sect master robes given to him and tossed it to Ciao as there were no other robes of his size

The robe adjusted instantly, expanding to fit the ten-foot frame at least the sect equipment still had dignity.

The cavern slowly quieted spiritual pressure stabilized. Lin swept his senses across the group every single disciple was now Foundation Establishment.

He exhaled slowly This expedition had already surpassed expectations the thing they still have no path of leaving.

But just as he began organizing thoughts for their next move another tremor struck. Not violent but Deep.

The stone platform where the eggs rested began to crack everyone turned.

Lines of light traced across the rock surface. Ancient patterns ignited one by one, illuminating the cavern with a heavy, suffocating pressure.

The disciples instinctively stepped back as the cracks widened.

Then a sentence emerged across the stone it did not glow brightly, but it radiated supreme authority majesty and power

The moment their eyes landed upon it, a strange urge filled their hearts, to kneel to it

Even Yan Feng’s sword intent dimmed slightly under that pressure. Lin felt it too his chest tightening.

But he did not lower his head The inscription read: The One with Sovereign’s Will May Descend.

The words pulsed faintly, each character carved with ancient dominance the air grew heavier.

Then, with a grinding rumble, the stone platform split apart Beneath it A staircase revealed itself. Descending into a abyss of darkness

The steps were carved from black stone, ancient and smooth, spiraling downward into unknown depths.

The disciples looked at one another. Lin’s gaze sharpened what is Sovereign’s Will.

He slowly stepped forward as his foot approached the edge of the staircase the inscription pulsed once more.

Then suddenly a howl vibrated through the tunnel it was the fox it had also sensed something and was ready to sacrifice everything.

Suddenly, the system blared inside his mind:

Objective: Run away from the Abyss of Darkness.

Before he could even process the words, a violent surge of fragmented information slammed into his consciousness, striking like a hammer against his spiritual sea.

Host survival probability if engaging: 3.7%. Recommendation: Immediate retreat.

Then suddenly the roof of the cavern collapsed, and they could see one of the tails of the beast emerging from the roof hanging like the Sword of Damocles
