Accidentally Reincarnated in Cultivation World-Chapter 290: A Vision, Beast Wave

Ki Tou possessed a physique known as the Supreme Sword Physique.

A cheat-level physique or rather Peak Immortal Level Physique.

A physique that allowed him to achieve impossible comprehension whenever anything related to the sword was involved.

Someone trained thirty years to master a single strike?

Ki Tou could replicate it in thirty seconds.

A sword scripture was Immortal Tier?

So what?

With the Supreme Sword Physique, it was simply a matter of time before he wielded it perfectly.

And geniuses?

Those "once-in-a-millennia" talents?

Ki Tou could copy their moves flawlessly after seeing them once.

This extraordinary ability naturally made him arrogant.

Why wouldn’t it?

When every sword genius became a stepping stone he’d effortlessly surpass.

But—

Yesterday, when he fought Yu Xuan.

His world shattered.

Because for the first time in his life, Ki Tou’s Supreme Sword Physique failed.

It activated, but could not comprehend anything from Yu Xuan’s sword.

Not a single move.

Not a single principle.

Not a single fragment.

Instead, he saw...

A vision.

A vast, star-filled void.

Gigantic ships larger than worlds drifting through space.

Each ship powered by entire stars.

He didn’t know what they were.

But they resembled grand void Boats used in inter-realm wars...

Then he saw a man.

One man.

Standing alone in imperial red robes, floating before that armada.

The man raised a sword.

A single stroke.

And the universe went dark.

A red blade carved through reality itself, illuminating everything in a bloody brilliance as it obliterated the star-powered fleet in one breath.

Then Ki Tou saw them.

The Army.

An endless formation behind the man.

Armor glimmering with starlight.

Marching like an immortal tide.

They chanted in a language Ki Tou did not know, yet somehow understood perfectly.

"ALL HAIL AVALON!"

"ALL HAIL AVALON!"

"ALL HAIL AVALON!"

The vision ended.

And Ki Tou lost the duel.

Because Ki Tou realized, for the first time in his life.

He had seen something far beyond anything he could copy.

A sword and a realm his physique couldn’t reach.

A sword that surpassed the Supreme Sword Physique itself.

***

Somewhere else, in a sealed Semi-Dimensional Space.

Rows of coffins lay dormant, each carved from materials so precious they couldn’t exist in the current age.

Terrifying auras seeped from within, each coffin containing power enough to erase continents.

In one of them.

A man with handsome features and golden hair lay in slumber.

He had been resting for an unknown age.

Suddenly—

WEEOOO—!!

Alarm bells shrieked through the dimension.

A terrifying aura burst from the golden-haired man, shaking the entire sealed realm.

His eyes snapped open, glistening like rubies forged from pure fire.

"A successor... but beyond?"

He frowned.

Contemplated.

Then shook his head slightly.

’I still have to wait who knows how long. A promise is a promise. But when a successor emerges... from my home planet...’

His thoughts trailed off.

Whatever he was imagining...

It was terrifying.

Thus, Luthor Von Avalon VII closed his ruby eyes and returned to slumber.

Waiting.

***

Back in the gate.

Yu Xuan looked at the still persistent Ki Tou.

Even after losing, Ki Tou refused to back down.

His eyes burned with determination, obsession, and a hint of fervor.

Yu Xuan didn’t ask for any reward from the duel.

He simply gave him a nickname, purely for fun.

Daoist Skinny.

"Alright," Yu Xuan said as Ki Tou demanded another duel, "but later. We’re moving now."

And with that.

Their chaotic, accident-prone group continued their journey deeper into the gate.

So time passed.

Yu Xuan and the group continued their journey for another four days.

Ki Tou had officially joined them and every few hours, without fail, he would request.

"Yu Xuan... duel me."

Yu Xuan rejected him with increasing efficiency.

Despite the interruptions, their journey was productive.

During these days, they defeated another boss-level monster, something akin to the Snow Spider but instead of webs, it spat sticky icicle spears that glued anything they pierced.

The creature had turned an underground cavern into its nest, filling it with spikes, tunnels, and icy traps.

The battle was chaotic.

The spider was venomous.

It was fast.

And it was tricky.

But with the entire group working together even Ki Tou delivering several devastating sword strikes they defeated it without much difficulty.

Through these fights, Yu Xuan learned more about Ki Tou.

Ki Tou was from Martial Heaven Peak and multiple Elders had tried to recruit him.

But he rejected all of them.

In his own words.

"I am a self-made genius. Why would I need a master?"

Everyone silently agreed that something or someone might have affected his brain a little. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

They explored several more regions within the gate, but the environments were mostly consistent with the briefings they received form the Senior before entering.

Nothing new, nothing unusual.

With that confirmed, they decided it was a good time to return to the exit, rest a few days, and possibly explore another gate afterward.

Yu Xuan also learned from Tuoba Jun that their group had been officially registered under the Discipline Committee.

This meant they would be working together on future missions as well.

"Then I’ll part ways for now," Ki Tou said, walking off in another direction.

"I want to fully explore this gate alone."

They let him go.

Somewhat relieved.

Tuoba Jun twitched his antennae excitedly.

"Let’s head to the exit, then? I made quite a lot of money fighting monsters these past few days."

"Yessss! Everything is going so smooth and greatsss!" Sisu cheered happily.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The mood was relaxed.

The journey had been unexpectedly successful.

Only Number Four’s expression shifted.

His scholarly instincts tingled.

A subtle omen crept into his heart.

’She raised a flag...’

Yu Xuan didn’t pay much attention to him at first.

But the closer they got to the exit, the more they all felt it a strange pressure in the air.

A distant rumbling.

The vibrations of countless footsteps.

Yu Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he saw what was happening.

Others too felt something was definitely wrong.

When they arrived within viewing distance of the exit.

They all froze.

A massive beast wave was crashing against the defensive formation around the return gate.

Dozens no, hundreds of disciples were fighting desperately to hold the line.

The air was filled with roars, explosions, and the crackle of spiritual energy.

Everyone slowly turned toward Sisu.

Sisu coughed loudly and looked away, pretending distraction.

"I uh... didn’t say anything before..." she muttered, sweating.
