With Light and Shadow completing the Path of Ascension, three foreign Great Powers equal to the Empire in power have declared war. Thankfully they aren't alone but with only one ally in their corner their best hope is to fight for a close loss. That is unless they can produce another miracle Ascender in time to turn the tides of war.

Can Matt, Liz, and Aster do what it takes to reach Tier 25 and finish the Path in time? Will it be enough?

Don't miss Book 9 of this action-packed fantasy adventure that blends everything you love about LitRPG with Xianxia.

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

Phenomenal writing as always, glad the timr skips happened as i feel there wasn't much left in that arc of things. only thing I wish we got better details were the reactions at the end. it feels like the end of this book was rushed and I'm feeling a bit disappointed.

absolutely fantastic

While I wish this book was longer and more happed in it. I was still amazing and filled out the 3 people I’ve grown to love. I can’t wait for the next book.

Amazing!

Things seem to have sped up quite a lot on this volume. It also contained a bit of everything in terms of story content. The timelines were quite vague though and it is hard to know how much time has passed sometimes between one paragraph and the next. Also, during the whole contest part, the author must have messed up as they kept going back and forth about whether the characters were tier 20 and 21. There was less of a focus overall on the war than I would have expected. But I guess that also shows how it’s not something that affects the whole empire. And I wish we could have heard more about the people that got Matt on the path. But apart from those more minor concerns, this was a great continuation to the story. Everything will be different from here on!

Wow, so much progress
