Spirit Realm Chapter 1756
In the abyss passageway.
The Great Lords of the Abyss, led by Aschnaz, were gathered here and waiting for the results of the battle between Taurus and Qin Lie.
Since Taurus entered Flaming Sun Purgatory, another dozen Great Lords of the Abyss arrived from upper Abyss levels.
Like Taurus, they all wanted to become a Devil Monarch through Qin Lie.
“Commander, in your view, how long will this battle last?”
Another Great Lord of the Abyss who had also come with Aschnaz asked in the ancient language of the Abyss.
“That Qin Lie just reached rank ten bloodline. He may not have even had the time to refine his body. Taurus is equal to me in combat power.” Aschnaz thought for a moment and grinned. “It should not take long. With Taurus’s strength, he will not need much time to kill Qin Lie. In my view, Taurus should have killed Qin Lie already and is consuming his heart now.”
“Then…” The Great Lord of the Black Bog Abyss laughed lowly and said, “Commander is going to act.”
Aschnaz’s eyes flashed with cruel light. He said coldly, “Taurus has been an eyesore to me for a long time now.”
Because of his promise to Cohen, his son, he did not go into Flaming Sun Purgatory first and let Taurus go ahead.
He wanted to use Qin Lie to use up Taurus’s power.
He knew that he was equal to Taurus. If he fought Taurus in the abyss passageway before entering Flaming Sun Purgatory, he did not have the confidence he would win.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to clash with the bull-headed Abyss Devil.
“With Lord Taurus’s power, the fight in Flaming Sun Purgatory… should be finished?”
“It’s been two hours. I feel it is about time.”
“Haha, those that want to fight Lord Taurus should prepare.”

The rank ten bloodline Great Lords of the Abyss rubbed their hands together and waited for the moment the spatial lock around Flaming Sun Purgatory would disappear.
They all thought that Taurus would be the victor.
“That may not be true,” an ill-timed voice sounded.
The one who spoke was the commander of the Frost Desolation Abyss, Dawson. He came… just to watch.
“Dawson, I heard that you are close with the person from Flaming Sun Purgatory. You think that he can win against Taurus?” Aschnaz said curiously.
He knew Dawson and his extraordinary strength. Of the twenty something Abyss Devils, Dawson would surely rank in top five.
He was also very familiar with Qin Lie.
“We’ll know the result if we keep watching,” Dawson snickered, feigning solemnity.
The Abyss Devils were shocked and clearly dissatisfied with Dawson’s words.
“Ssst!”
Yet at this time, the spatial boundary that had sealed up after Taurus entered suddenly was torn apart.
“The battle should be finished!”
“Taurus must have killed him!”
“It’s now time to fight Taurus!”
Seeing the passageway to Flaming Sun Purgatory open again, those Great Lords of the Abyss became excited.
They activated their bloodline powers and were charging into Flaming Sun Purgatory. They wanted to attack Taurus while his power was used up.
Of the twenty something Great Lords of the Abyss present, there were three equal to Taurus.
Aschnaz was one of them.
‘”Roar!”
He howled, his body releasing poisonous miasma that the other nearby Great Lords of the Abyss hurriedly dodged.
He displayed his power as he went toward the passageway. Aschnaz wanted to become the second Great Lord of the Abyss to enter Flaming Sun Purgatory.
However, when he came close to the entrance, he abruptly frowned.
“Move aside!”
Taurus’s roar came from the passageway.
In the next moment, Aschnaz found Taurus, a third of his previous size and covered in bloody and deep wounds, wanting to charge out of the passageway.

Taurus wanted to escape Flaming Sun Purgatory!
Aschnaz was shocked. He instinctively moved aside, wanting Taurus to come out.
“Crack crack crack!”
The bright Galaxy Spirit Crystals suddenly flew out of nearby black holes.
In a flash, a shining barrier formed at the entrance.
Taurus’s shrunken body collided head-on with the newly formed crystal barrier and was bounced back into Flaming Sun Purgatory.
Aschnaz could clearly hear when Taurus was being thrown back into Flaming Sun Purgatory, he screamed “No!”
Aschnaz, who was prepared to be the second to enter Flaming Sun Purgatory, stood at the entrance. He watched as the crystalline barrier was influenced by laws of the Abyss and cracked again.
He suddenly realized the crystalline barrier had been formed by Qin Lie.
That crystalline barrier served to stop Taurus from fleeing.
Evidently, Taurus was about to die. The ancient laws of the Abyss even released the ban on the entrance to Flaming Sun Purgatory.
This was the Abyss laws allowing new Abyss Devils to challenge Qin Lie.
Aschnaz knew that the laws of the Abyss reopened the entrance because they were certain that Taurus would die.
“Lord Aschnaz!”
“What are you doing there? Aren’t you entering Flaming Sun Purgatory to fight Taurus?”
“If you aren’t going, please move aside. I am going in!”
The Great Lords of the Abyss behind him did not see Taurus urgently wanting to flee back into the abyss passageway because they were far from the entrance.
They also had not seen the crystal barrier that had formed and then disappeared suddenly.
Aschnaz’s thousand meter tall body obstructed their gazes and senses. They did not know what had happened and only thought that Aschnaz was hesitating.
“Oh.”
Aschnaz gradually refocused. He made a sound and looked back at the impatient Abyss Devils.
He suddenly moved aside from the passageway to Flaming Sun Purgatory. He said, “You’re in such hurry? Go ahead first then.”
“This…” Many Abyss Devils stilled.
Dozens of seconds ago, Aschnaz released his corrosive aura to prevent others from charging in first.
But mere moments later, he was telling others to go ahead first?
They did not know what had happened to Aschnaz in the short dozen seconds that he would change his decision.
Only the Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Abyss, Dawson, laughed lowly, his gaze thoughtful.
“Thank you!”
Some fearless Great Lords of the Abyss hurriedly charged in after Aschnaz moved aside.
There was a limited time to replace other Abyss Devils and become the Devil Monarch. This time was not also fixed.
Sometimes, it would take a long period of killing and a dozen of Great Lords of the Abyss perishing before the new Devil Monarch was determined.
Sometimes, the new Devil Monarch was determined after three to five battles.
Aschnaz had been in a hurry to be the second to enter because he worried if he was too late, the mysterious laws of the Abyss would appoint the new Devil Monarch before he even entered Flaming Sun Purgatory.
At that time, he would not even have time to regret.
“The entrance is not blocked. Another one can enter. Who will go?” Aschnaz said.
The other Abyss Devils found that the entrance still existed after that Abyss Devil had charged in.
Usually, this meant the Abyss Devil who just entered had a great disparity in power with the victor inside of Flaming Sun Purgatory.
The mysterious laws of the Abyss would only allow another Abyss Devil to enter in a case like this.
“Something’s off,” one Abyss Devil murmured.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
