Chapter 23: Independent Training — Rising Amid Chaos
After meeting Chairman Guo, Shin left the Cultivation Association headquarters. Outside, Seria City still burned, villages were in ruins, and monsters roamed freely.
Shin's heart was calm. He had made his decision: he would grow stronger on his own terms, surpass every limit, and survive no matter what the world threw at him.
> "If I am to survive… I must train independently. The world is becoming dangerous… and I cannot rely on anyone else."

Testing Divine Ability
Shin focused on his Divine Ability — Life and Death. Stretching his hand, he unleashed a wave of Life Energy, instantly healing his lingering wounds. Then, he infused Death Energy into his dagger and swung at a small group of goblins.
The Death Energy spread from his blade, corroding the goblins' flesh and armor. In seconds, they turned to ash.
> "This power… it's perfect for endless monster slaying."

War God Form in Action
Shin activated his War God Form, Level 1. His aura exploded like a storm, weapons of all kinds floating and moving around him instinctively.
Monsters of various levels attacked, but none could touch him.
Level 4 Goblins fell like grass.
Level 5 Werewolves were dispatched with a spin of his sword.
Level 6 Poison Snake Monsters were incinerated with a combination of Death Energy and precise weapon mastery.

Training Through Slaughter
Shin traveled through forests, mountains, and villages, hunting monsters wherever they appeared.
Each kill improved his Foundation Establishment Realm. His Extreme Foundation Tier absorbed energy, growing stronger and more stable with each battle.
> "Leveling up like this… feels natural. My body, my mind… everything is improving."
He focused on mastering his War God Form, controlling multiple weapons at once, blending Death and Life Energy seamlessly, and moving faster than any monster could anticipate.

The World in Chaos
Every corner of the world was a battlefield. Cities became fortresses under constant siege. The Cultivation Association sent groups of cultivators to protect key areas.Although monster tied decrease somewhat, but monsters were relentless.
Shin, however, moved independently. He was both a savior and a destroyer. Where he appeared, monsters fell, and humans survived.
> "If I don't grow stronger… I'll die. But if I do… I can survive anything, even the collapse of this world."

Breakthrough Toward Foundation Establishment Realm Level 2
Day after day, battle after battle, Shin's Qi and spiritual energy surged. His kills numbered in the thousands, his body hardened, and his aura sharpened.
Ding!
「 Foundation Establishment Realm — Level 1 → Level 2 」
A faint smile spread across Shin's face. He could feel the next stage calling him: Foundation Establishment Realm, Level 3, waiting to awaken.
> "Good… the world can try to kill me all it wants. I will rise above it. I will survive. I will surpass everyone."
And so, amidst the chaos of a world overrun by monsters, Luo Shin continued his path of blood, battle, and unyielding growth, his War God Form ready to carve a path through the apocalypse.
