In a realm where strength is the ultimate currency, one man's journey to the pinnacle of power begins with the ultimate betrayal. Cast aside by those he sacrificed everything for, the young man breathes his last breath with a fervent prayer to the gods. He promises that if given another chance, he would live solely for himself, pursuing his desires and following only his own will.

His plea is answered by a bored deity craving entertainment. The god offers to reincarnate him into a fantastical world reminiscent of the web novels he once adored. As a caveat, the young man is granted six absolute abilities of his choosing, ensuring he will possess unparalleled talents in comprehension, cultivation, alchemy, bloodline and body cultivation, combat, and formations.

Armed with these extraordinary gifts, the man is thrust into a ruthless cultivation world where only the strong survive. With a newfound resolve to live for himself, he embarks on a relentless quest for power and vengeance, determined to rise above all who stand in his way. His journey is filled with epic battles, mysterious allies, and formidable foes, as he strives to entertain the god who bestowed upon him this second chance.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, will he succeed in his quest for dominance and revenge, or will the whims of the gods and the trials of the cultivation world prove too great?

Ascension Of the Foresaken

Chapter 7: Ripples Across the Cultivation World

The only sound was the soft rustling of the wind as it swept through the shattered battlefield.

Luo Qiyan—the Fifth Realm cultivator, the Eldest Disciple of the Serpent's Fang Sect, a name that once commanded fear—now lay in the dirt, his body broken, his cultivation destroyed.

Kael stood above him, his expression unreadable.

Jin Mu, still kneeling from the sheer weight of the battle's aftermath, could not breathe.

The gap between realms wasn't something that could be ignored. It was an iron law of cultivation. Even prodigies needed time, resources, and powerful techniques to barely challenge those above their level.

But Kael had annihilated Luo Qiyan.

No external treasures. No powerful master guiding him.

Jin Mu swallowed hard. "You… what realm are you really in?"

Kael tilted his head slightly before stepping away from Luo Qiyan's motionless form.

"I told you," he said, his voice calm. "I've only just begun."

Kael barely seemed concerned about what he had just done. Destroying a Fifth Realm expert should have been a major event, something that should shake an entire region.

But because Kael didn't even view this as a challenge.

Then… how high will he go?

Kael exhaled, stretching his fingers as he looked toward the horizon. The battle had served its purpose.

His Unparalleled Cultivation Talent surged, reinforcing every lesson, every movement, every flow of Qi he had experienced in this battle. The very foundation of his cultivation was already far beyond anything this region had ever seen.

Kael turned back to Jin Mu. "Where is the nearest major sect?"

Jin Mu flinched. "You—are you insane? The Serpent's Fang Sect will come for you!"

Jin Mu's entire life had been shaped by the hierarchy of the cultivation world. The strong ruled, the weak obeyed. No one challenged a sect unless they had an even greater backer.

Jin Mu struggled for words. "You don't understand. Luo Qiyan was strong, but the Sect Master of the Serpent's Fang Sect is at the Nascent Soul Realm! You're picking a fight with a force that could wipe out entire cities!"

Jin Mu's breathing was shaky. "…Are you even human?"

Instead, he closed his eyes, feeling the energy surging within him. The aftermath of his battle had refined his Qi further. He was still in the Body Refining Realm, but at its absolute peak.

Jin Mu still couldn't process what he had seen.

The Serpent's Fang Sect would not stay silent.

And worse—this battle had not gone unnoticed.

Kael turned his gaze to the horizon. His Unreasonable Comprehension had already sensed it.

No—multiple forces were watching.

Luo Qiyan's defeat had sent a ripple through the cultivation world. It was subtle now, but it would spread. Sects would talk. Clans would investigate. Powerhouses would take interest.
