Legend of Icaros Novel Cover

Legend of Icaros

He was born from the void between stars - a being of immense power, forged from cosmic origins. For thousands of years, he walked among humanity, protecting them and keeping his true strength hidden. After losing the only family he had, grief led him to seek his own end... only to wake up in a world entirely unlike his own. Here, cultivation is the main path to power. Those who master spirit qi gain superhuman strength, speed, and abilities that place them far above ordinary people. Four great sects rule the land, competing for resources, secrets, and dominance over each other. Icaros joined the Li Sect, where he found companions he came to trust and care for: the capable and easygoing Li Han, the sharp and composed Su Yan, and the spirited Nelly. For a time, he felt he had found a place to belong, even as he kept his true nature hidden and wondered whether he could ever learn to cultivate like those around him. Everything changed when their voyage was suddenly attacked. A powerful figure floating in the sky cut their ship apart with sharp, devastating energy strikes, leaving only destruction in his wake. Believing his friends had been lost in the disaster, Icaros chose to stop holding back any longer. > "I am done hiding!" He unleashed his full power: golden light blazed from his eyes, he flew at incredible speed, and he broke through every barrier and enemy in his way. On the shores ahead, he tore through hordes of powerful jade monsters, destroying them completely before flying deep into the interior of the island. Meanwhile, survivors washed up scattered and alone. One young cultivator found himself on the shores of Jade Island - a place most cultivators avoid, as it holds no treasures or useful materials, only danger and endless deposits of ordinary jade. Yet despite the risks, ordinary people have built settlements here, finding safety from the conflicts and power struggles of the outside world. This island works by different rules. Spirit qi is scarce and unstable, making cultivation far less effective than elsewhere. Instead, the people here rely on advanced technology - weapons and explosives that can injure or even defeat those with great physical strength. Here, skill and preparation can be just as powerful as raw strength, and even the strongest cultivators must move with caution. Now, Icaros has vanished deep into the island. His companions are lost somewhere across this dangerous land. And the mysterious swordsman who destroyed their ship has already arrived here, searching for an ancient map said to lead to the legacy of a being from another world. Will they find each other again? And can anyone survive in a place where the usual rules of power no longer hold true? ✅ Chapters 1–19: FREE 🔒 Chapters 20 onwards: PAID (Continue the journey of power, friendship, and discovery!)

Chapter 16

Li Han was about to say something, possibly about how they were supposed to fly to their ship, considering they didn't know Icaros could fly, and Spirit Realm cultivators are not capable of true flight.

When Su Yan interrupted, not by words but by action, she grabbed Nelly's waist intimately, before gently stepping on her flying handkerchief, which she had unleashed before. She threw a final glance at the boys before flying to their ship.

Icaros couldn't help but think in his mind, with his face staring forward, "Is that jealousy I saw in her eyes, and what for?"

While this thought was going through Icaros' mind, Li Han revealed a silly, and resigned smile, before returning to his original face. Urging Icaros, he said to him, while casually running to the edge of the ship, as if he wants to jump off.

Icaros chased after him while asking, "Don't tell me you're going to grab my waist?"

Laughing heartily, Li Han said, "You wish, listen up punk, you better accelerate and grab my leg as I am about to jump"

"What the..." inevitably slipped out of Icaros' mouth, before he rapidly accelerated, and just as Li Han leaped out of the ship, Icaros jumped and grabbed one of his feet.

Just before they could pummel down to their deaths, Li Han's tattered upper body robe split along his shoulder blades. And just like magic, a pair of large wings made of purple energy, a trademark of Li Han's secret technique sprouted. Its aura magical with a hint of violent energy contained.

Icaros noticed they stopped pummeling and while trying to look up, he heard Li Han's voice saying, "Hold on tight, it's about to get rough."

With this, Icaros had already seen the wings, and held on more tightly.

Thankfully, their ship opposite the enemies own, was lower.

Thus instead of attempting to fly, Li Han glided down to their ship, where the remaining participants and the two female deserters were.

Icaros could see the ship zooming in, at an incredible speed, but he wasn't the least bit scared, as of his experience of flying throughout his previous life.

With this, just when they entered the ship space, before his feet could hit the ground with the impact and all that, Icaros let go and perfectly rolled on the ship's floor to get up.

While Li Han landed with his eyebrows raised at Icaros, the wings behind him gently dispersing.

Seeing this, Icaros poked at him back, "Rough ride indeed" with a smirk on his mouth.

Icaros sighed as he looked at his figure in the mirror, I guess I automatically have this physique, although I can change it, with the body building techniques in my previous life. He thought, before deciding with a smile, "I just won't waste my time on that, as far as I look good, besides, my strength is not in relativity with my body, unlike mortals and humans in my previous life, whose body tells a lot. But I guess cultivators are more like me in this aspect.

Their body type don't decide their strength, but their life choices and habits shape their body, just like mortals, that means, a muscular body refinement realm cultivators, still can't match a skinny spirit realm cultivator.

Well, thinking of body refinement realm cultivators, Icaros eyes turned to the new grey robe meant for them. That was delivered to him, since the old one was damaged in battle, he had just had his bath. Not that he previously had any desire for high ranking clothes and identity, but the conversation on the ship deck, after the previous event did trigger some of that.

He remembered, that he was about to head into the ship, as the other participants, when Li Han called him back.

Saying that, after the previous event, there was no need, he could now receive the same level of treatment as them, spirit realm cultivators, as he had proved more than that.

Of course, Icaros was happy to get some recognition, but his smile vanished, when Li Han said with a crooked smile, But the treatment is only on this ship and this mission, your promotion will be decided specially after returning to the sect.

Okay, Icaros responded, not phased the least. Li Han determined to add salt to the wound said, Of course, you'll still retain your grey robes, even on the mission.

Even the cold Su Yan couldn't help but giggle, while Nelly tried to stifle her laughter.

Icaros couldn't help but find himself, with a desire for something, that he didn't usually have and an extra layer of frost on his face.

While Li Han grinned at a mission successful.

Reviewing this happy memories, Icaros smiled before putting on his new grey robes, with a trace of warmth in his heart.
