Bathed in moonlight, Lucas sat on a creaky old branch, feeling it shake under his weight.Now Lucas was desperate. The artifact might slip from his grasp.Looking down, he often said random things like "This world is truly beautiful. It was one of his quirks.Below, the village resembled a quiet painting with the moon playing hide-and-seek behind clouds.In the stillness of the night, Lucas' mind wandered to a conversation he'd had hours earlier in the village hall.He had been greeted there as a hero for rescuing Aline from the clutches of Night Swift, a menacing figure.Surrounded by the scent of aged wood and resin in the crowded village hall, Lucas found himself amidst the excited chatter of the villagers."Deep in the forest, there's a hidden hole," an old farmer began, tracing an imaginary map with his wrinkled hands over the flickering embers."It is said to be filled with ancient artifacts, remnants of a lost era."This was the man Aline had introduced to Lucas, the same man w
In the quiet, cool open space, Lucas prepared to examine Aline's qi path.Bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, Aline's skin appeared almost ethereal, casting a mystical aura around her.Her skin was flawless and exuded a seductive charm. The elegant curves of her back were mesmerizing, capable of captivating anyone's gaze."Please take off your clothes, Aline, so that I can accurately assess Qimu's path," Lucas requested, maintaining a professional tone. Aline complied, slightly embarrassed but trusting of Lucas, revealing her graceful figure.Her pale, delicate skin was now fully visible to Lucas, momentarily surprising him with its beauty.But he quickly regained his composure, aware of the seriousness of his task.Lucas placed his hand on Aline's back with a gentle yet deliberate touch. He slowly began to channel his energy to understand the current state of Aline's pulse path.As his energy stirred within him, it navigated to Aline's qi path. Remarkably, he found it with surp
Lucas continued his journey, guided by a sun halfway across the sky, indicating he had half a day's travel remaining to reach his enigmatic destination. He was heading towards a vast chasm rumored to contain numerous artifacts. Weariness crept in; the journey had been arduous, compelling Lucas to seek respite.He found solace under a sprawling tree, where he sat cross-legged, eyes closed, inhaling the tranquility of nature. Time blurred, transforming seconds into minutes, minutes into hours, yet for Lucas, it felt suspended. This pause served not just as a physical rest but also as a meditative practice to align with the natural world."My cultivation is stabilizing," Lucas murmured, acknowledging his rapid progress since reincarnating into this realm just a month ago.In the stillness, his thoughts drifted to Aline and the recent unlocking of her Qi. This achievement, akin to completing a task with unexpected rewards, had also benefitted him. As he reflected, Lucas sensed an internal
Lucas, with eyes sharp and alert, swiftly scanned the surroundings. The recent attack was no laughing matter; his adversary was formidably terrifying. Opposite him stood a man donning a rat mask, his movements quick and agile, eyes ablaze with a ferocious intensity. The air around them vibrated, charged with the impending clash, a tension born from the mere convergence of their powerful energies.Determined not to be outdone, Lucas knew hesitation meant certain defeat. Without waiting for his opponent to strike, he unleashed his opening move, a roar tearing through the air as he initiated the attack.With a deft gesture, Lucas conjured a thick mist from his palm, announcing, "Mist Technique." But this was no ordinary mist; it was a searing, scalding vapor, akin to a cloud of fire, poised to incinerate anything in its path. The intense heat was so overwhelming that nearby leaves began to smolder and catch fire, a testament to the mist's blazing potency."Damn!" the masked man cursed, c
Lucas took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp morning air, yet the embers of anger within him remained unquenched. Perched on a branch of an ancient tree, he was lost in a turbulent inner monologue. "Why again, Aline?" he whispered, frustration lacing his voice. This was the second time Aline had been kidnapped, and the stakes were higher than ever.His voice, hoarse and infused with the freshness of morning dew, barely disturbed the serenity of dawn. The sun peeked over the horizon, casting golden rays that failed to brighten Lucas's spirit. Instead, he was consumed by a sense of foreboding.His thoughts turned to the Batamusuh Red Rat, a formidable adversary who had appeared suddenly, displaying a stealth technique that was nothing short of miraculous. These assassins, capable of matching Lucas in combat, were unlike any foe he had faced before. The Bata Red Rat, in particular, was a class apart in skill and cunning."Excellent," Lucas said with a bitter, ironic twist, recalling the
In the middle of a vast meadow near the valley, Coil stood alone, his presence solitary against the expansive landscape. The long-haired man, a newcomer to the scene, was intently examining the corpse of Night Swift, a renowned hunter whose death was shrouded in mystery."This is gikla," Coil remarked gravely, his eyes fixed on the large figure of Night Swift lying motionless on the ground.The crisp morning air, once refreshing, had turned cold and oppressive, as if it were laden with the heavy weight of the unsolved mystery.Before Coil was the lifeless body of Night Swift. The hunter, famed for his prowess, had evidently lost his life in a fight that was anything but fair. The scene spoke volumes of the brutality and imbalance of the struggle.From Night Swift's mouth, a fine mist continually seeped out, adding a layer of mystery and eeriness to the already somber atmosphere.Surveying the battlefield, Coil noted the traces of a fierce skirmish not far from where he stood. The evid
That night, the sky opened wide, illuminating the world below with the radiant glow of a magnificent full moon.In the center of a secluded field, a half day's journey from the nearest village, the air was thick with an almost palpable tension.Black shadows encircled the area - assassins garbed entirely in black, standing tall like ancient statues, silently awaiting orders.In the heart of the circle, two figures faced off. Lucas, the warrior with long, black hair flowing in the night breeze, his eyes sharp and piercing, his stance erect and battle-ready.Opposite him stood the Bata Red Rat, a legendary, ruthless assassin, renowned for his rat-head mask that lent him a mysterious and terrifying aura."Lucas, your bravery surprises me. I didn't expect you to show up," whispered the Bata Red Rat, his voice hoarse and laced with malice, cutting through the night's silence."I'd have thought you'd run back to your mother by now," mocked the Bata Red Rat, his cruel joke echoed by the laug
Lucas sat up, his back leaning against the cold, rough wall, absorbing the exhaustion that had seeped into every fiber of his body. The fatigue wasn't just physical; it pervaded his very soul, as if every bone was screaming for rest."Ugh, this is really a terrible fight," he muttered wearily.Ever since Lucas had been reincarnated into this world, this was the first time he had faced such an intense battle. It was what they called a life and death battle, a struggle where lives were precariously balanced on the edge.Beside him, Aline appeared outwardly calm, but Lucas knew that this was merely a facade, barely concealing the tumult of emotions she was experiencing. Her usually cheerful face was now composed, mirroring the semblance of peace she had managed to muster after enduring days of unimaginable terror.Lucas sighed, his gaze drifting to the ceiling of the dimly lit room. "We're safe, Aline," he whispered, his voice a blend of reassurance and hope, directed as much to himself
In the vast expanse of the world, civilization had reached new heights. It was a time of prosperity and growth, but it was also a time of great conflict. Two powerful factions of cultivators had arisen, each claiming dominion over the land and its inhabitants. And so, the stage was set for an epic battle that would determine the course of history.The armies clashed with a fury unmatched by any before them. A hundred thousand souls lay scattered across the battlefield, their lives extinguished in an instant. Limbs were severed, heads rolled, and bodies were crushed beneath the weight of steel and magic. The air was filled with the screams of the dying and the cries of the victorious.And yet, amidst all the chaos and destruction, there stood a lone tree upon a hill. Its branches stretched out like arms reaching for the heavens, and atop those branches sat a man named Lucas and his seven followers, along with their seven wives. They watched the carnage unfold below them, their faces im
The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows on the parched ground. Lucas stood alone amidst the solitude, surrounded by his loyal followers. His eyes gazed at the horizon, taking in the sight of the toxic land that would soon become their new home.The place was vast, but devoid of any living creature except for the oddly glowing shrubs. The vegetation seemed alive yet strangely eerie.With a flick of his wrist, he summoned lightning, watching as it curved through the air before striking the peak of a distant mountain. The impact shook the earth beneath them, kicking up clouds of dust."That will do," he said, turning around to face his companions. Among them were seven beautiful women, each possessing extraordinary strength and power. They were all semi-goddess wives of Lucas. Beautiful, sexy women.Luna, one of Lucas' many wives, stepped forward from the group. Her mesmerizing eyes sparkled with mischief when she spoke. "Are you sure about this, my love? This place is filled w
The sun had set several hours ago, and now the moon hung high in the sky, casting its pale light over the vast expanse of land belonging to the Crimson Jade clan. Inside their ancestral home, deep within one of the rooms of their youngest member, Coil, is where Lucas found himself, having been invited by Coil for a highly tempting offer. As they sit facing each other, Lucas didn't waste any time getting to the point. "Coil," he began softly, "I understand that your family's house holds many treasures. I'm curious - is there anything specific you seek?" It seemed like Lucas was ready to start his plan now. His goal clear, he wanted to revive the Heavenly Demon associated with the Crimson Jade clan and then kill it later on. Initially, Coil appeared surprised by Lucas' bold question. But after some time, he leaned back into his chair and took a deep breath. "Yes, there are indeed valuable items hidden behind these walls," he admitted. "However, I must stress that those things do not b
At night, he descended to the Crimson Jade residence, where a tense atmosphere filled the air. Lucas was in Coil's room.Lucas had a plan on his mind; his gaze seemed to see through everything around him. This young man clearly felt something there."Coil," said Lucas and suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He became wary when he sensed an unpleasant presence lurking nearby."Coil," Lucas spoke seriously, "there is an impostor approaching us."Clearly startled, Coil didn't sense anything amiss. However, the youngest son of the Crimson Jade family immediately believed Lucas. Coil remembered how Lucas fought and defeated Night Swift beforehand. That was an epic battle that Coil himself doubted could have been achieved by any ordinary human being."Lucas, can you defeat them?" asked Coil nervously.Despite her arrogance, she wanted to know if Lucas would dare face off against them. If not, Coil already prepared to escape with their teleportation artifact."It will be easy," whispered Lucas.N
Coil had been away from the Crimson Jade compound for many days, seeking adventure and fortune as a cultivator Now, he finally returned, bringing along his trusted companion, Lucas.Yes, Coil trusted Lucas because he believed that he could utilize Lucas for his purposes. However, what Coil did not realize was that Lucas seemed to have his own agenda in mind.Indeed, how could Lucas ever forgive such an evil man? Certainly, lucas would plan a fitting and poetic revenge against the Crimson Jade family. As they approached the imposing gates of the family estate, Coil couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation.This man knew that if his family discovered that he had a powerful ally like Lucas, his father, being the patriarch of the Crimson Jade family, would undoubtedly commend him. Consequently, the competition to become the next family heir would likely shift in Coil's favor.However, these hopes were nothing more than mere speculation on Coil's part, as something enti
The village sky was aglow with golden rays that morning, casting a serene light on the path where confident steps moved with purpose. In front of a quaint house, a man with shoulder-length white hair, which shimmered like spun silver in the sunlight, gently knocked on the door. His appearance, marked by the ethereal glow of his hair, endowed him with an aura of mystery.Inside, the sound of footsteps grew closer until the door swung open, revealing a puzzled Aline. Her face, marked by confusion yet strikingly beautiful, mirrored the surprise and curiosity at the sight before her. Her eyes, wide and inquisitive, scanned the figure on her doorstep."Who are you, and what brings you here?" Aline inquired, her voice laced with caution yet striving for politeness.In this unexpected moment, Aline's surprise was natural; she did not recognize Lucas, who stood before her, his presence in her timeline unforeseen. Yet, there was a slight smile on Lucas's face, a hint of warmth in his demeanor
Lightning thundered across the sky, illuminating Moncik's face with blinding white light. Around him, the earth trembled and burst open, with flames engulfing Tikus Biru, his subordinate, who desperately tried to evade the onslaught."Argh!" Blue Rat screamed, his body aflame. Nearby, White Rat, the female assassin, faced similar agony.This scene was a one-sided massacre, making Lucas's claim of godhood seem justified. The display of Lucas's power was truly fearsome.Moncik dodged frantically, as if his life depended on it, trying to escape the lightning that Lucas seemed to command at will."Ah, Hell Rat, Hell Rat assassins, you really are like rats. Why don't you just scurry back into your holes?" Lucas taunted.This spectacle gave Lucas a perverse thrill, realizing how easily he could manipulate the villains who had once caused him so much trouble.It was akin to a dragon toying with a group of slow-moving rabbits; their survival hinged solely on Lucas's mercy to not end their liv
Lucas stepped into the White Swan Pavilion with a confident stride, determined to resolve the lingering threats that loomed over them. His urgency stemmed from a stark realization: the world had teetered on the brink of destruction twice before, and Lucas, having failed to protect it on both occasions, was adamant about preventing a third catastrophe.As Lucas surveyed his surroundings, his heightened consciousness allowed him to perceive beyond the ordinary; he could even see through walls, searching for his quarry. In a private room, he found Lorrick of the Ironfist family, indulging in luxury, surrounded by opulent beverages and entertainers. Lucas paused momentarily outside, observing Lorrick with a faint smile."Lorrick, you will face your end once more," Lucas murmured softly, his movement swift and silent as the breeze. His mastery in cultivation had elevated him beyond mortal confines, enabling him to effortlessly approach the private room's entrance.Without a moment's delay,
The sky was still dark when Lucas stood outside, his breath visible in the chilly morning air. He had just been forcibly ejected, the loud bang of Luna's gate closing behind him still echoing in his ears, a consequence of last night's debacle.This felt like déjà vu, yet Lucas was acutely aware that he had successfully re-entered the flow of time, seizing the opportunity to start anew.Suddenly, Lucas's expression shifted from calm to one of realization as he noticed a profound change within himself. His normally jet-black hair had transformed, now turning white with the tips glowing a faint gray—a clear indication that he had achieved something remarkable: he had traveled back in time."I'm back..." he whispered to himself, his gaze fixed on the gate that had just spurned him.Determined, Lucas approached and knocked on the gate gently yet firmly. "Open up, it's me, Lucas," he announced, adopting a different strategy this time.Lucas was resolved; his plan was to eliminate any threat
