As the lion's roar resounded throughout the whole world, the lion silhouette started changing it's color. Its pure white fur started turning black and its eyes also turned black. Its majestic and terrifying aura vanished. It was instead replaced by an evil, destructive and bloodthirsty aura. Certain changes also occurred in Lu Zhen's body. His skin was now pitch black like charcoal, his hands that of lion claws and his hair that fell to his hips was now crimson red. It looked as if it was a river of blood.
"For what you did to me, I'LL PAY IT BACK A THOUSAND TIMES. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE DESPAIR IS!!!" shouted Lu Zhen coldly. Lu Zhen's appearance, made him look like an Asura from hell and as if his message reached its targets. ...In another world, an extremely handsome young man who was sitting cross legged, his aura was simply deeper than the ocean that it seemed like space would collapse any moment. He had two horns that were as long as a bucks and had inscriptions all over them. The young man then opened his eyes and a glow shot out from them resulting in the whole space collapsing. He looked surprised. " Who is it that is able to threaten my life? " he said in a soft voice before opening a portal with his hands and vanishing. ...Elsewhere.A lady who was sleeping soundly on a bed. To even say she was beautiful would be an insult to her. Her looks were indescribable and incomparable. She had nine tails and fox like ears. As she slept, her hairs suddenly stood on end as she woke up screaming "DON'T DO IT! " her bodydrenched with sweat as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water all over her body. She stood up, looked around to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. She then opened a portal and disappeared but the scene she left behind was horrifying. Many men stood around where she slept, some without eyes, some without faces, ears. lips and even skin. They simply stood there as if dazed or in a dream of sorts without a care in the world. ...In another place, with tall trees and mountains, beautiful flowers all over. Birds chirping and insects singing, it was like heaven and in this heaven, a white tiger with a huge body that spanned for meters lazily sat there with its eyes closed. It looked noble and majestic. It's aura was hidden but that didn't mean anyone should let their guard down. It simply sat there then suddenly opened its eyes, it's eyes were beautiful and seemed to contain stars within them. It stood up and slashed at the air with its paw and space distorted then disappeared....Elsewhere, in a world, to be exact, this world looked like it was burning, it was engulfed in flames and the heat produced would turn anything into ashes in mere seconds. Screeee! A gigantic bird engulfed in flames shot out. It seemed to light up the pitch black space. It only appeared for a moment before disappearing....In the boundless void, a beast that was larger than many worlds, looked somewhat like a whale but had wings was swimming leisurely as if it was simply going in the direction its heart desired. It swam in the void for a while before it stopped and looked ata certain direction. It lightly flapped its huge wings before disappearing. ...Back to where Lu Zhen was, the lion silhouette was still white but it now had black fur patches all over its body. The silhouette then slowly dissipated, Lu Zhen with his savage looks looked at the ten Sentient beasts then stuck out his hand and made a grabbing motion. The Sentient beasts felt that something was wrong with their bodies.Crack!Crack! Crack! They felt their bones cracking and started to resist but that formless power kept compressing their bodies. Roar! Since the beasts couldn't speak. They roared as if pleading for mercy but unfortunately for them. Lu Zhen was unperturbed as he softly said " Rejoice that it is I who is taking your lives. This is your greatest honor. DON'T RESIST. " The beasts stopped resisting and accepted their fates. It waa as if Lu Zhen spoke the truth and his word was law. The beasts continued to compressed to seven orbs that flew towards Lu Zhen. " To think I was besieged for a mere technique. " This 'mere' technique was a heaven defying technique because It was close to alchemy but also far off. This technique was called 'All Refining Origin technique ' It waa the Supreme White Lion's inborn technique and could refine any medicine or any living organism into an orb of energy which contained no impurities and was helpful to one's cultivation. There were restrictions of course, if one was powerful enough, the technique wouldn't work and one might suffer from a backlash. The Supreme White Lion was an existence that was born to bring harmony and prosperity to the universe but due to some mishaps, the other beasts coveted it's techniques. The wolf, ape and eagle had struggled with all their might and Lu Zhen chose to spare them. " You are now my slaves, cultivate these. " three lights struck their foreheads "Don't disappoint me and when I come back, I want satisfactory results or else..." Lu Zhen's body had already returned to normal, he didn't need to continue his words for them to understand. He told them not to say anything and disappeared. The three beasts also chose to leaves and an hour after everything had calmed down. Terrifying figures descended to where everything had occurred. There was nothing out of place when they showed up as if this terrifying catastrophe didn't occur here. Lu also didn't leave any traces as if he was a professionally trained assassin that had been doing its job for countless years.Hours after Lu Zhen had left, eight figures stood exactly one kilometer away from where Lu Zhen previously stood. Lu Zhen's location was treated as a danger zone, this was the only evidence there was that indicated that something really did happen. The eight figures felt that it would be courting death if they even take one step inside this boundary. These eight figures were split into two groups, four on each side and they looked like they had enmity with each other. They even stood tens of meters apart. " Wu Zhong, I don't remember inviting you to the Forest Of Beasts. Please leave. " coldly said the old man. Although he was old with grey hair and a wrinkled face, he looked vigorous and energetic. The only problem was that he had two huge elephant ears and was three meters tall.In fact, all the people in the old man's group had some animal like body parts whether it was their skin, ears, eyes, tails or even their bodies. They were Humanoid beasts which were taske
"Harm the family? My mistake?" Elder Wang was dumbfounded. He didn't know what he had done and who this young man was but thinking about what Xiaojian had said to him when he summoned him, he had to believe it. Xiaojian had explained to Elder Wang how Lu Zhen had changed and that he shouldn't dwell much on it. " Young master, this lowly one doesn't know what you're talking about." said Elder Wang innocently. 'This isn't a simple change, it's a complete makeover!' he thought to himself but dared not to be disrespectful against this young man." Elder Wang! Even your ignorance is harmful to the family. Should I KILL OR CRIPPLE YOU!?" shouted Lu Zhen. He was furious to the extreme and he really meant what he said. Elder Wang was already sweating bullets when he felt the killing intent that Lu Zhen released. Although it wasn't as powerful as the one he released in the forest." Have mercy Young Master! " screamed Elder Wang as he slammed his head on the ground, b
Xiaojian was given a sheathed sword and the chairs around the Main Hall were cleared to create more room. Both Elder Wang and Xiaojian stood facing each other.Please!Elder Wang assumed his fighting stance while Xiaojian just nervously stood there. Xiaojian was chosen at a very young age to serve Lu Zhen. He was his personal servant that was taught everything required of servants so it was not surprising that he didn't know what to do. He had also never held a sword in his life.Shing!Both parties unsheathed their swords but something unimaginable happened. Something about Xiaojian changed, his gaze became sharper and his expression calm, his aura was deep as the vast ocean and was unfathomable. He also exuded a tint of danger and was full of arrogance.Elder Wang became nervous when he saw just how different Xiaojian looked. In his eyes, Xiaojian was like a sharp sword ready to cut him in two and he couldn't help but sweat bullet
Lu Zhen was asking for the impossible from these elders. Submitting to him meant that they had to follow all his instructions to the latter. If he told them to kill themselves, they'd have to oblige and if he told them to slaughter everyone, they'd still have to oblige. They would in fact be Lu Zhen's pawns that he'd use as he wishes."Can you give us credibility of how you plan to accomplish all of this. " one of the elders spoke. "Credibility? I have none. " Lu Zhen said with a carefree expression. Now, the elders looked at him like they were really looking at a crazy person. " Lu Zhen, how can we submit to you when you yourself can't convince us?" another elder asked. All the elders nodded."I don't know." his reply was again not convincing. "Then can you show us that which makes you confident that you'll lead us to prosperity. " yet another elder spoke. "That's simple. " Lu Zhen said as he looked at them. "KNEEL!" he said. All the elders excep
Inside the cocoon, Lu Zhen's body was continuously being tempered, both internally and externally. Externally, Lu Zhen's muscles became more refined and durable, it was like he was being forged like a weapon. And if one looked closely at Lu Zhen's body, one would see golden inscriptions although feint. These inscriptions were all over his body, from his head and down to his toes. Every time Spiritual Qi was in contact with his body, the inscriptions would glitter with a golden lustre and this continued again and again without stopping.Internally, Lu Zhen's internal as well as the five major organs underwent massive transformations. If anyone would disect Lu Zhen now, they would only see treasures. His heart was dark gold and also had inscriptions and the blood pumped also had a tint of gold in it. His lungs, kidneys liver, brain and everything else had turned into a dark gold colour with inscriptions all over.As the brain turned dark gold, it increase
Lu Zhen then returned his hand to normal before calling Xiaojian. He then told him that no one is to disturb him, even his uncle. After doing so, he returned to his chambers and closed the doors behind him. Locking it from the inside. "Let's see how much I am able to transform." he mumbled.Crack! Crack!Crack!Lu Zhen's bones started making cracking sounds.Aaaahhh!Lu Zhen screamed his lungs out as it was excruciatingly painful. " Let me make this place soundproof before I continue. " He then took out a piece of paper, bit his finger and used his blood to write an array circle. This array was what he was was going to use to block any form of sounds. This was the only array he could form, he wasn't proficient in arrays. Array masters were also quite terrifying figures since their arrays were not just limited to basic uses like soundproof or anything like that. They could summon mountains or trap someone in powerful illusions, they could al
Lu Zhen returned to his courtyard to get some sleep since he had a long day. He quickly fell asleep but something else happened while he was sleeping. The Spiritual Qi in his surroundings, albeit in small amounts entered his body. Yes, Lu Zhen was cultivating in his sleep, it was also an innate ability he had when he was the Supreme White Lion. And as he slept, he started to snore and his snore was terrifying. It sounded like an ancient beast was laying dormant in his room.The next day, Lu Zhen was woken up by Xiaojian telling him that the Young Miss had come to visit and had requested his audience. Of course Xiaojian was kept in the dark about Zhenzhen's visit until It was announced. Lu Zhen then instructed Xiaojian to have her wait for him in the Butterfly garden as he readied himself. He wore red robes, his hair disheveled making him look more wild and unrestrained....In the Butterfly garden, a maiden with looks that were out of this world stood there. She
According to the information Lu Zhen has gathered, this world is called Origin world and is a small world. It has seven continents and each continent has a powerful Sect and ancient families protecting it. Each Sect and ancient family is responsible for nurturing young talents and stimulating their potential.The Grand Inferno Sect was one such Sect. The foundation, knowledge and resources of this Sect could be described as unfathomable.Out of all the Sects, the Grand Inferno Sect is the oldest."When is the next Disciple Selection from the Grand Inferno Sect?" Lu Zhen looked at his uncle. "The next Disciple Selection is in a month's time.""I see." Lu Zhen then asked a number of questions before returning to his chambers. "Xiaojian!" Lu Zhen called for Xiaojian and after waiting for a few minutes, "What does Young Master need from me?" respectfully said Xiaojian as he knelt on the floor. "I am going to give you a cultivation technique.
