Chapter 391: Radiant Sun Sect

On the opposite side of the island, away from Zedhyrx's dark summons, Ma Kong stands within the decrepit ruins of an abandoned building. The structure's walls, crumbling and overtaken by climbing vines, whisper of ancient secrets and lost times. Shafts of light pierce through gaps in the roof, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the air. Ma Kong's towering figure is hunched over a small, worn table, where a singular pill lies—an object of potent energy.

This pill, glowing faintly with an inner light, holds the potential to propel Ma Kong into the advanced Soul-Body Converging Realm. He grasps the pill delicately between his thick, calloused fingers, his gaze filled with a mixture of anticipation and frustration. Behind him, his massive axe rests against the wall, its blade nicked from numerous battles.
