They were something far older—an ultra-ancient energy-genetic encoding structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each rune was linked to the next, forming a stable pathway that pointed toward a separate spatial node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And inside that node, the energy density was off the charts—far beyond anything in the current zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just a ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gateway—an interface to something that hadn’t fully opened yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, he followed the system’s guidance and slowly extended his energy across the surface of the runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-dormant symbols began to stir, glowing faintly as light patterns flowed along the walls. They synced with Ethan’s energy frequency in seconds, resonating in perfect harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a surge of unfamiliar power rushed back into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he managed to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pressure mounted fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood roared in his veins. Heat spiked through his body like wildfire, burning deep into his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew ragged. His vision warped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this kept up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body would collapse before he got any answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the heat threatened to consume his consciousness, a strange ripple pulsed from deep within the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air buckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swirling vortex slowly opened ahead of him, spinning with unnatural gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hummmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hummmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low, resonant hum echoed through the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt straight into the vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like his mind was yanked out of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no light. No sense of direction. Just a vast, endless void. Time lost all meaning. Even breathing became a distant, fading concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how long he drifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glow appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, his vision snapped back into focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan found himself standing in a completely unfamiliar space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was clear and warm, carrying a purity that felt almost sacred. Thick streams of golden energy flowed from every direction, like invisible tides, naturally converging on the rune patterns etched across his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t invasive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt... welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the energy resonated with his runes, Ethan felt his power surge. Not in a chaotic burst, but in a steady, controlled rise—his entire system stabilizing, his meridians aligning like they’d been restructured from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra and Auri sensed the shift instantly and emerged from within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy, what is this place?\" Idra asked, her eyes glowing with wonder. Her voice carried a joy that felt instinctive, like her very being was at ease here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The energy here feels amazing... I don’t wanna leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already crouched by a nearby lake, scooping up the water with both hands and drinking without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake shimmered with dense golden liquid, its surface glowing with a soft, calming light. Just being near it cleared the mind, sharpened focus, and restored energy like a divine elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the golden lake water flowed into her body, Idra began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bones stretched and reshaped, muscles and energy circuits restructured in real time. Her aura shifted—no longer that of a young girl, but something sharper, steadier, more refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just moments, she had grown into a woman in her early twenties. Her presence was fierce yet pure, and the draconic pressure radiating from her was far more concentrated than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the clearing, Auri hovered lightly in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the surrounding forest, countless multicolored lights began to flicker—like fireflies, or tiny energy sprites drifting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawn to her, the lights gathered on their own, slowly merging into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each fusion, her aura stabilized further. The outline of her radiant wings grew clearer, and her energy tier climbed in steady leaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a matter of minutes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Idra and Auri had reached the peak of Tier 32.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one final threshold remained before they could break into Tier 33.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s own power had also risen steadily, now sitting solidly at early Tier 32.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could fully process the transformation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground began to rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rrrrummmble—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant trees shook violently as a massive wild bull burst through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was built like a moving mountain, muscles bulging beneath thick hide. Its twin horns gleamed with a dangerous energy, sharp and heavy enough to pierce steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment its eyes locked onto Ethan, fury exploded in its gaze. It let out a deafening roar and charged straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force behind it was enough to crush most high-tier fighters on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before it reached him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra flashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hands—slender, but steady—and caught the bull’s horns mid-charge. Her body dipped slightly from the impact, then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surge of strength, she flipped the beast clean off the ground and sent it crashing into a distant cliffside. Stone shattered on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You oversized brute,\" she said coldly. \"You dare charge at my dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re asking to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bull wasn’t finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It roared and tore itself free from the rock wall, its body now glowing with layers of black runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mixed within those runes were streaks of golden energy—an unnatural fusion of this world’s native laws and some kind of foreign mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its aura spiked violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan raised a hand, signaling Idra to fall back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, power surging through him. Several high-speed Energy Discs formed at his palm, spinning with deadly precision before launching all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzzzt—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air shrieked as metal and energy sliced through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull’s armored hide was torn open, deep gashes cutting down to the bone. Even its massive horns were sheared down to stumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its charge faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time it staggered within striking distance of Ethan, its energy reserves were nearly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive frame stumbled to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t even break a sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out, grabbed the beast’s enormous skull with one hand, dropped his stance—and slammed it into the ground with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth cracked. The impact sent tremors through the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull’s head was buried deep into the soil, limbs thrashing wildly as it tried to break free, its strength pounding against the ground in desperate, fading bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-05T15:15:54.167Z",1,"novelbin.me","a76967ec1907765c43a1cab4ff700b3537b92f95d9beac74b8e41556bff50087","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-920","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-918",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
