Lu Zhen's eyes had turned pitch black as if the word 'darkness' was derived from them. What terrified these participants the most was the killing intent he was exuding. It was so thick that it was almost solidifying. Lu Zhen then pulled out his right hand and made a grabbing motion. 

An invincible force held everyone in place, making them unable to move. They were like chickens on the chopping block. Fear, fear crept in everyone's heart as they saw their lives flashing before their eyes. They had never seen such power before. It was terrifying. 

The Sect elders felt the danger the kids were in so they set out immediately. In a matter of seconds, they had already arrived on the scene. Fifty elders at the peak of Soul Condensing Realm released their pressures in order to scare Lu Zhen. "Stay your hand!" shouted one of the elders. Lu Zhen didn't listen to him and exerted more force on the participants. 

The participants started bleeding from their ears, eyes and mouth. Be it geniuses or not, every one of them was like an insect in front of Lu Zhen's power. Seeing Lu Zhen ignore them, the elders' expressions became dark and they started attacking Lu Zhen. A barrage of attacks struck Lu Zhen but he didn't move one inch. Lu Zhen snorted then stopped his attack on the puny humans called participants.

"Impudent! " shouted Lu Zhen as he looked at the fifty elders. Lu Zhen released his terrifying aura that was coupled with terrifying pressure, "KNEEL!" The elders dropped down like kites full of holes. 

Boom!

The ground shook as fifty peak Soul Condensing Realm experts crashed in the ground. Fortunately they didn't suffer any damage as their bodies were already comparable to S rank peak grade weapons. "Let's activate the Earth Sealing Formation." shouted one of the elders. Quickly, the elders had already surrounded Lu Zhen as they activated the so-called Earth Sealing Formation. 

An array formation lit after the elders sent their power into it and huge chains shot out from it as they coiled around Lu Zhen like snakes. As Lu Zhen struggled to free himself, the chains became tighter and tighter. 

"How dare insects like you resist death. It's your honour to die by my hands!" An even stronger power was released by Lu Zhen. The chains couldn't resist for long and they broke. The elders suffered a massive backlash as they flew hundreds of meters away. They puked mouthfuls of blood. 

Their faces were as pale as sheets of paper. Lu Zhen approached the elder who had suggested sealing him. With every step he took, the elder felt that death was approaching him. Lu Zhen made a grabbing motion again,the elder felt something grabbing his body and raising him to the air and exerting more force on him. 

Crack! Crack! Crack! 

"Aaahhh!" the elder screamed his lungs out. "Sp...spare me please." the elder struggled to beg for mercy. "HAHAHA! An insect like yourself is begging for mercy. Tell me. WHAT DOES YOUR LIFE WORTH?" asked Lu Zhen. The elder stared at Lu Zhen with widened eyes. 

"What does my..."

Boom! 

The elder exploded into a puddle of blood. "Worthless!" said Lu Zhen nonchalantly. Lu Zhen then gazed at the rest of the elders, he then pulled out his hand. Seeing this, the elders panicked, to them, Lu Zhen's hand was like...Death's Hand. Just as Lu Zhen was about to crush them to death. 

"Stay your hand!" a loud voice sounded out. An old man floated in the air. It was the same old man who conducted the first test. Lu Zhen didn't look up at the old man. "I don't look up to people. I only look down on them so why don't you...GET DOWN HERE FOR ME!" said Lu Zhen with a huge grin on his face, Lu Zhen stomped the ground lightly. 

"HAHAHA, you're a cocky one aren't ya. Well then, how do you plan on..." before the old man could even finish speaking, he felt something weighing down on him, as if he was carrying a mountain.

The elder found himself in the ground minutes later but fortunately he wasn't kneeling like everyone else. "Since I'm in this state, I guess you're qualified to speak with me on equal footing." said Lu Zhen nonchalantly. 

"Hoho, you're quite an amusing one. So, why did you attack everyone here." asked the old man. "I was a bit annoyed and needed to vent, so I thought of squashing a few insects to lighten my mood. But your elders stopped me from having fun, so you see, I thought of teaching them a lesson they wouldn't forget even in death...Don't mess with me." calmly explained Lu Zhen. It was like what he did was logical. 

Lu Zhen's explanation left the elder dumbstruck.

"I see but you have to understand th..." before he could even finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Zhen. "There's nothing I have to understand! And if someone should understand something, it should be you. If I can't do whatever I want, whenever I want then, we have a problem. What you should understand is that if I'm not happy, no one is happy." said Lu Zhen as his domineering side showed itself. 

"It seems I have to fix that attitude of yours." said the old man as he took out a golden rod from his special ring. It was an S rank peak grade weapon. The old man suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Lu Zhen in an instant as he swung his golden rod. Lu Zhen blocked with his arms.

Clang! 

Like metals clashing, Lu Zhen's body was comparable to an SSS rank weapon. Lu Zhen then pulled out a punch, the wind whistled due to his punch, the old man blocked using the rod.

Clang!

The old man was pushed five meters back and before he could stabilize himself, Lu Zhen attacked, sending another punch that was directed to his stomach. The old man blocked again. They exchanged blows for blows. 

Clang! Clang! Clang! 

The shockwaves alerted everyone in the Sect including the Core Elders and Core Disciples, they rushed to where the fight was happening. 

As for the forty nine elders and ten thousand disciples, they stood far away from the battle because the shockwaves would definitely kill them. "You're actually not bad for an old man." complemented Lu Zhen. "Are you making fun of me? I'm exchanging moves with a peak Meridian Strengthening Realm junior, how will I face my peers now, hoho." lightly said the old man. They kept exchanging moves and the place was turning into ruins little by little. 

By the time everyone reached the place, it was ruined beyond recognition. And in the middle of the rubble, Lu Zhen and the old man were fighting intensely with neither side getting the upper hand. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, Elder Shi was exchanging moves with a junior in the Meridian Strengthening Realm, and wasn't gaining the upper hand.

The most surprised was Lin Zhenzhen, she didn't expect Lu Zhen to have such tremendous power. 

"Why don't we end this with the next move, old man." Lu Zhen suggested, "Fine with me!" replied Elder Shi. They then created room for each other, 'Mountain Shattering Thrust ' shouted Elder Shi as he executed his technique, tremendous power shot out from the rod. Lu Zhen only turned his nails into claws and diagonally slashed. A vague lion's claw could be seen. It wasn't a fancy technique, just a simple slash. 

Boom! 

The two techniques clashed and the shockwaves destroyed everything in their path. Soon, everything calmed down. Everyone stood there waiting to see results. 'Who won?' is what rang through everyone's thoughts.

    When the dust cleared up, Lu Zhen was still standing there like an insurmountable mountain. Elder Shi was in a sorry state. His white robes were torn, revealing his chest which had scars in it. "How could it be? What was that technique?" he asked. "It wasn't a technique, old man. I don't need to use techniques to fight against the likes of you, you're not qualified. I simply slashed out with my hand." said Lu Zhen. The elder's eyes were widened with astonishment, 'A simple hand gesture overcame my technique and even injured me?' is what the old man thought. Lu Zhen then started walking away. "Do you think this is your playground where you can come and go as you please?" a cold voice sounded out. A middle aged man clad in golden robes hovered in the air. "I don't like looking up to people and I don't like people looking down on me so why don't you get down for me." said Lu Zhen calmly. The middle aged man didn't mind his arrogance, after all, he had just defeated one of his core elders

    The Sect leader then left. Meanwhile, Lin Zhenzhen was worried about Lu Zhen. She knew she couldn't do much but hoped that her master would convince the Sect leader to release him. "Why am I even worried about him when he was the one who got himself in this mess." she pouted. Her feelings for him had deepened since he kissed her that day. Just as she was musing, her master returned. "Master" she bowed, "Stand up." said her master. "I spoke with the Patriarch and he said he would consider letting him go after he finishes punishing him." Lin Zhenzhen was first happy but then her expression turned sullen. She didn't know what kind of punishment the Patriarch was giving Lu Zhen. "Thank you master for your help." she bowed and left for her courtyard. After she arrived, she threw herself in her bed, "Lu Zhen, I'll find a way to save you." She then fell asleep. …Days later, as she was practising her martial arts. A figure suddenly showed up in her courtyard, "Disciple greets Sect Leader."

    As if these changes weren't enough, all his flesh and blood separated from his bones and fell to the ground. The skeletal lion stood there looking at Lu Zhen with its pitch black hollow eye sockets. All of its bones were pitch black with golden inscriptions. "Rooaaarrr!"There seemed to be a dark, ominous aura that was emanating from his bones and it was full of killing intent. This was actually Lu Zhen's killing intent, his killing intent was so deep that it was ingrained in his bones. It then pounced on Yungxu, Yungxu did a backflip as he kicked the skeleton's jaw sending flying in the air. He disappeared from where he was and appeared above it and sent a kick so powerful, it actually cracked some of its bones. Boom! It crashed hard on the ground and the entire underground cave shook. As it tried to stand up, a leg stomped its head, pinning it to the ground. Slight cracks could be seen in the skull, meanwhile, his blood and flesh had turned into a pool of blood that continuously m

    Everyone couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the state of their Sect leader. Yungxu's whole body was charred black like charcoal. Lu Zhen's technique had almost turned him to ashes as its name suggested. Since Lu Zhen escaped, Yungxu knew that with Lu Zhen's talent, it was now only a matter of time before destruction descended upon him and his Sect. …In a forest with large trees, two corpses, one on top of the other, were laying in it. The female corpse with beautiful features layed on top of the handsome male one. Cough* Cough* Cough* The male corpse suddenly woke up, coughed hysterically. It was of course Lu Zhen. He looked around to see if there was any danger lurking in this forest then relaxed. Lu Zhen looked pale. He weakly hugged Lin Zhenzhen's body, he had protected her body with his life on the line from the spacial turbulence. "Forgive me, forgive me for implicating you and being unable to protect you. I can't go on like this so I've decided to change the way of d

    Lu Zhen lightly nodded. His complexion ruddier than how it previously was. Lu Zhen did feel that his wounds had healed but not by a huge margin. "Tell me, do I have a chance with you? I'd also like to know your name?" The gorgeous lady laughed again. "We gave you an inch but now you want a mile. You're a bully and a shameless person, you haven't even introduced yourself but now you want me to introduce myself first." she pouted which further enhanced her beauty. Lu Zhen just looked at her in a daze and said after a while, "What do you want from me? I'm not an ungrateful person so I'll give you whatever you want, of course if it's within my capabilities. " said Lu Zhen seriously. "Join my Sect." Lu Zhen was surprised about her request but quickly realised something. His wounds were just too severe for anyone to survive from them but what he did showed that he was extraordinary. Lu Zhen was still skeptical about it. "If you join my Sect, you'll at least be closer to me won't you and

    The young man's name was Tian Yi. He had taken this mission because the pay was good and it was full of beautiful women. His plan was to impress some of the girls here with his skills but reality struck him hard. Taking care of these plants was definitely not a walk in the park. There were many rules to be followed and one had to be patient and careful when handling the plants because one mishap could literally kill these plants."So, you're an expert. Can you identify and give a brief description of each plant that we point out. We can't have you killing such rare plants." said Tian Yi. Everyone was surprised with how Tian Yi acted. He acted like he owned the place but no one said anything since there was truth in his words, they couldn't afford plants dying because of Lu Zhen's empty words and ignorance. Lu Zhen agreed to their request even though he knew what Tian Yi was planning, he also understood everyone's concerns. "Let's start with this one." Tian Yi pointed at a dark yello

    No one is born perfect and the heavens are fair. Take Lu Zhen for instance, in his previous life, he was a lion born from the Heavens to bring peace and prosperity to all, he didn't encounter any bottlenecks in his cultivation but that in itself was detrimental to him and his future. He had less comprehension of the Dao and as a result, his cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Supreme Realm. He also didn't have any talent in Alchemy, Refining, Forging, Weapons, Arrays Forming, he in fact didn't have talent for anything. This is why he doesn't have a weapon he specialises in because he'd never used one. This is why he was so happy when he obtained a human body. The human body was mostly referred to as the Heaven Defying Body since humans were born weak but found ways to grow stronger as time went by. Humans were so heaven defying that they could create techniques from nothing, create weapons with anything usable, strengthen their bodies like beasts and much more but again, the Hea

    The spear had a silver shaft and the spearhead had a blue-white colour. The aura and pressure emitted by it was enough to destroy dozens of small worlds. This showed just how much of a threat and abomination Lu Zhen was, he couldn't be allowed to exist. The spear descended at lightning speed, the mountains all over the place were turned to dust and the place looked like a desert, lifeless. There was a huge hole that was at least five hundred meters deep and inside that hole was a young man, his normal black eyes were painted red due to pain, his lips with a tint of red like fully riped strawberries, his black hair cascaded down to his waist. He was beyond good looking. His well refined muscles were now shaking and his veins popped all over him. He had a spear sticking out of his stomach, luckily his dantian wasn't damaged. This spear had pierced through him, penetrated the ground and pinned Lu Zhen to the ground. He was now like fish on the chopping block.Lu Zhen didn't mind the spe

    The cultivator was at the Seventh Stage of the Transcendent Realm and after being devoured by the Demon, it directly elevated the strength of the Demon to the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Not just that, the Demon also underwent a transformation. Its size tripled and grew to about three meters in height, its red scales also enlarged and covered most of its body. The Demon now looked like it was wearing heavy crimson armour made from a scaled creature. The other cultivators couldn't believe what had just happened in this short span of time. They looked far back and saw that the weak creatures that they'd completely decimated had all regenerated and rushed towards them at full speed. The now armoured Demon moved at even greater speed towards them and each of them released their strongest techniques.

    Chapter 328: Terror Of Demons (1)

    All Divine Realms are divided into Nine Heavens with the First Heaven having mostly weak cultivators and the Ninth Heaven having peak powerhouses of the realms. Currently, Earth was teleported close to a Sixth Heaven but it had been moved to the region close to the First Heaven by Old Man Charlie. Many sects and clans on the First Heaven were facing the same problem. The sky was filled with Demons who were slowly approaching their territories with evil intentions and even though they didn't know who these invaders and trespassers were, they were prepared to fend them off and chase them away. Many clans and families even chose to momentarily have a truce to work together until the invaders were killed or chased away. The Demons crashed on the ground in massive numbers like a meteor shower. They then rushed towards their enemies which were also rushing towards them. The weakest Demon was at the Earth Realm and the strongest was at the World Realm. By standards of the Divine Realm,

They hadn't created such big clans only for show,they were created so that they could obtain information, resources and talented people to work for them. But even after days of searching, nothing had come up, that is until today.

    Demons were separated into two types, War Demons and Noble Demons and hierarchy is very important in the Demon Race so a lower status demon cannot in any way, shape or form disrespect a higher status demon. War Demons as their name suggest are demons of war, and the Demon Race consists mostly of these types of demons. The War Demon ranks are as follows; Soldier, Lieutenant, Admiral, Colonel, Commander and Marshall. War Demons are extremely good at fighting and the battlefield is their playground. The Noble Demons on the other hand are a completely different story. The ranks of Noble Demons are as follows; Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquess, Duke and Grand Duke which also correspond to the status of War Demons.Now, what separates Noble Demons from War Demons is their potential and cruelty. Noble Demons are very prideful so they rarely let things slide even towards other demons so no one provokes them easily. As for potential, they can upgrade their status to more than just Grand Duke w

    Chapter 325: Terrifying Duo

    His brother's murderer was right there, right in front of him but he couldn't attack him because he knew he'd die. Now, he could fully understand what Ezra had felt when he tried to kill him but was completely suppressed. If he attacked Ezra now, he'd most probably die and let his brother's sacrifice be in vain and he couldn't do that to his own flesh and blood. While crying, Kael took his brother's headless corpse dashed away, running away at full speed. He ran until he found himself in an unfamiliar place, he checked the surroundings and found an abandoned cave. Inside, he had started a camp fire and was currently staring at it with a blank expression. He was wondering if he should bury or cremate Moloch's body. He was just thinking about this when suddenly, Moloch's body underwent a transformation. Rainbow coloured flames engulfed his brother's body and quickly refined him. The end product of this refinement was a beautiful red sword with an ominous aura.The sword floated in fr

Just looking at Ezra made everyone apprehensive and on their toes. They could feel the immense power that Ezra now had and it scared them. Ezra didn't pay attention to Ultimate Sin but looked up where Silas and his wife were watching everything. Even though they couldn't be seen because of Silas's space manipulation, Ezra could somehow see them. Silas was even surprised that Ezra could see them because what he used was his second ultimate technique called Hidden Space. He could hide himself and others in a pocket space and still be able to observe everything happening outside the pocket space. In simpler terms, imagine yourself standing in front of the mirror. There's some space between you and the mirror. Silas is able to hide in that space and still be able to see and hear you while you only see your mirror reflection

During this period of time, the weaklings were told to vacate the premises and only the experts remained behind, waiting for the calamity to befall Earth. Outside of Earth, all the powerhouses of the Divine Realm were desperately searching for the planet but couldn't find it.And the reason why they couldn't find it was because the entire solar system had been moved to a different location and a barrier hid it from outsiders.After months of waiting, their patience finally bore results. A space crack had appeared after the start of the ritual and all the black blood poured into it and after a few months, all the blood had poured into the space crack. They tried to probe inside the space crack but their Divine Senses only saw darkness. Today though was different.Something came out from the space crack and grabbed at its edges and forcefully opened it wider. What came after that was a blood curdling roar

    A big frog appeared from the sky and blocked everyone's attacks from reaching Ezra's head. The most powerful attack came from Kael, with a single slash, the frog's body was cut in two. Twin girls appeared after the frog had turned into ashes but with a single strike, they too were killed. And finally two muscular men appeared but before they could even do anything, Kael was already behind them and they were already dead. And just like that, the group that was once renowned in the vampire race had fallen, the Big Five had fallen. More and more vampires fell under Kael's blade and each of them didn't even survive from a single attack from him. While Kael was killing as quickly as he could, Ezra's head which fell right in front of the barrier was picked up by someone. It was Charlotte. The righteous side was happy that Ezra hadn't succeeded in whatever plans he'd prepared. [Destroy it!][Quickly destroy it and end this war!][Throw it here!

    {What is it Sir, I'll do my utmost to try and be of assistance.} asked the Heavens. Professor Croft didn't reply with his words but his actions. He controlled the space around him to condense into a single point where a transparent ball started to form right above his palm. When the transparent ball was the size of a fingernail, no more space element could be infused into it. His Gears and Levers' eyes spun but this time was different, instead of spinning normally like they'd been doing when he saw something interesting. This time when his eyes spun, they released a sound and not just any sound. The sound of gears and levers starting to operate again after not being used in a long time. Tsiiiiiiiii guack!!! Du du du du dong!!!It was like an old machine was being activated for the first time in a long time. Professor Croft then exuded an anc
