Who’s the predator this time? Lex or the dog?

The spirit storm. Absolutely haunting.

This chapter was like watching two masters of wildly different philosophies slowly realize they're speaking the same language.

Lex continues to ignore the rules of cultivation like they’re mere suggestions in a pamphlet

Honestly? If Lex is this powerful without trying, I can’t wait to see what it looks like when he finally stops holding back.

Now this was a Lex-style negotiation

Lex really tried everything here, and the maze just shrugged at him like, “Nice try, mortal.”

Classic setup: strip the overpowered protagonist down to raw fundamentals.

Marlo charging into battle after hearing about Lex felt like a proud teacher refusing to be outpaced

“Did that make him the devil?”

Oh. Yes. Yes, it does.
