CHAPTER 90 — Solar System Ascends, Heaven Trembles
The world had gone still after Lin Xuan's defiance shook the heavens.
The Abomination King loomed like a mountain of rage, its flesh crawling with demonic sigils that pulsed black fire.
Even the air seemed afraid to move.
And then Lin moved.
---
1. Lin Unleashes the Solar System Within
Blood trickled down his lip as he steadied his breath.
The dantian inside his body pulsed like a miniature sun, radiating golden flames that pierced through the smoke.
"Time to see," Lin whispered, "just how far my creation has come."
Behind him, the solar system within flickered into manifestation—
a celestial vision unfurling into the real world.
Planets spun around him like divine halos.
The sun blazed, burning through the storm clouds.
Lightning arced between orbiting spheres, each carrying a fraction of Lin's will.
He thrust his spear forward—
and the orbit shifted.
The spear's point became an extension of that cosmic order.
It didn't merely pierce space—it reordered it.
The Abomination King's claws collided with Lin's strike—
BOOOOOOOOOM—!!!
The entire valley disintegrated.
Shockwaves shredded the clouds, revealing the sun for the first time in days.

2. The Dual Bais Answer the Call
Bai the Dragon
High above, the young dragon soared through lightning and flame.
He had taken damage—his scales cracked and burned—but the dragon's eyes gleamed with fury.
The Abomination King's power drew something primal out of him.
His body glowed gold-red, his wings expanding, the divine patterns on his chest rearranging into ancient draconic runes.
He roared, and thunder answered.
"MY MASTER WILL NOT FALL ALONE!"
The roar infused Lin's spear with golden lightning.
Bai the Spear Companion
On the ground, the spear-wielding Bai was a blur—deflecting projectiles, cutting through corrupted beasts that tried to flank Lin.
Each motion was like poetry in motion—fluid, precise, devastating.
The air screamed as his weapon split it apart.
He yelled upward:
"Lin! Finish that thing before I run out of targets!"
Lin grinned in response.
"Working on it!"

3. The Abomination King's Revelation
The Abomination King stopped its assault suddenly.
Its six eyes blinked in eerie unison.
Its voice rumbled through the air like a collapsing world.
"You… carry the heavens' seed."
Lin frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The creature grinned, revealing serrated teeth the size of towers.
"I was born from the corpses of Saints… molded by the Demonic Ancestor to devour the Heavenly Progeny—those who carry the heavens' mark of creation."
Its claw pointed toward Lin's chest, where the solar mark burned faintly under his robes.
"You are one of them."
Lin's eyes narrowed.
The demonic ancestor…
a being strong enough to forge something like this?
So this was more than a battle for the sect—
it was a battle to erase a heavenly heir.
---
4. Lin Pushes Beyond Limits
The Abomination King slammed both fists into the ground, sending fissures racing outward like lightning veins.
Lin was hurled back.
He flipped midair, landing on a fractured boulder, his spear braced against the ground.
He could feel his internal world trembling, his inner planets vibrating from the strain.
"Can't… hold back anymore."
The sun within his dantian pulsed again—
and the light grew denser.
Aurora's voice echoed faintly from within his consciousness.
"Lin, stop! You risk destabilizing your world—!"
"I'll stabilize it later!"
He forced more qi into his spear.
The solar planets around him merged into a burning helix of light.
When he thrust forward, the very air combusted into a pillar of golden fire.
The Abomination King roared as the strike blasted through one of its shoulders, melting the demonic armor fused to its flesh.
Lin's voice thundered:
"SOLAR ASCENSION STRIKE!"
The impact carved a crater that swallowed half the battlefield.
---
5. The Cost of Power
Lin dropped to one knee.
The world dimmed.
Inside his body, his solar system trembled violently—
one of the smaller planets shattered from the stress, scattering fragments of divine qi through his veins.
Pain seared every nerve.
He coughed blood, but he grinned through it.
"Still alive… good enough."
Spear-Bai rushed to his side, supporting him.
"Lin! You can't keep doing that!"
"I can when the alternative is dying."
Above them, Dragon-Bai descended, slamming his tail into the Abomination King's chest to knock it off balance.
"Get up, Master! This thing's still moving!"
Lin wiped blood from his mouth.
"Then let's finish this together."
---
6. Dragon's Second Awakening
The young dragon's body suddenly pulsed with light—
his aura spiking violently.
A roar tore through the sky.
Lightning and fire spiraled around him, condensing into two radiant orbs that merged into his heart.
His scales restructured—denser, brighter, divine.
Golden horns sprouted backward, and celestial flames poured from his wings.
Aurora's distant voice murmured in awe:
"He's… awakening his True Dragon Heart."
The sky turned molten gold.
Every demonic cultivator on the battlefield fell to their knees.
Dragon-Bai's voice echoed through heaven and earth:
"MASTER.
ALLOW ME TO CLEANSE THIS FILTH."
He dived like a comet.
Lin leapt upward, his spear aimed downward.
Two Bais—one dragon, one man—synchronized.
---
7. Spear of the Twin Suns
Lin's inner solar system and Bai's dragon heart aligned for an instant.
The energies resonated—
a perfect harmony of human and divine.
Lin roared:
"Solar Dragon Spear—Heaven's Collapse!"
A single, radiant spear thrust pierced through the Abomination King's core.
Dragon-Bai unleashed a lightning-fire beam that vaporized everything around the wound.
The monster screamed as cracks spread across its form, the demonic sigils unraveling one by one.
"IMPOSSIBLE—!! I AM THE ANCESTOR'S CHOSEN—!!"
Lin's spear twisted, driving deeper.
"Then follow your master to hell."
The Abomination King exploded into a storm of black qi and red lightning.
---
8. Aftermath — Victory and Mourning
The battlefield was silent.
Thousands of corpses lay across the scarred plains.
The air reeked of blood and ozone.
Cloudsky disciples, trembling, looked up at Lin's hovering figure—
his body battered, aura flickering, but still burning bright.
Shengyuan landed beside him, holding his chest.
"It's over… for now."
Lin nodded wearily.
"Too many died today."
Mu and Wen approached carrying the body of a fallen elder.
Spear-Bai stood behind them, head bowed.
Even Dragon-Bai dimmed his light in respect.
Lin clenched his fists.
"Never again," he murmured.
"We end this war on our terms."

9. Power Ranking: The Scale of Realms
As Lin healed, Shengyuan finally broke down the differences that had shaped this war:
Realm Description Relative Power Multiplier
Qi Condensation Basic foundation of cultivation. ×1
Foundation Establishment Condenses qi into liquid form. ×10
Core Formation Forms a golden core of condensed qi. ×100
Nascent Soul Birth of a soul clone and divine sense. ×1,000
Soul Transformation Soul becomes semi-immortal essence. ×10,000
Void Refinement Command over spatial essence. ×100,000
Saint Realm One with law fragments. ×1,000,000
Shengyuan looked at Lin.
"You may still be in the Golden Core stage… but your power already rivals early Soul Transformation cultivators."
Lin's expression hardened.
"Then I'll keep going until no demonic sect can stand against me."

10. The World Watches the Sky
That night, across every kingdom and sect, people gazed upward.
The clouds above Cloudsky had turned golden, swirling like a sun.
Whispers spread through the cultivation world.
> "The Abomination King is dead…"
"Cloudsky Sect destroyed it?"
"No—Lin Xuan destroyed it."
The balance of power was shifting.
Ancient clans stirred.
Hidden saints turned their eyes toward Cloudsky Mountain.
And far in the deepest void, something vast and unseen opened its eyes.
> "A mortal… with a world inside him."
"Interesting."
