The gray sky enveloped the morning, casting a tense aura that seemed to seep into one's very bones. Lucas, among other participants, wasn't there by mere coercion; he coveted the prize on offer.

They assembled in the wilderness, within a forest still under the dominion of the Shadowbale family.

This forest was a natural enigma, a labyrinth of tall trees that stood like mystical guardians harboring ancient secrets.

"Hey, look, Lucas the trash is joining too," sneered a participant under their breath.

Despite Lucas having proven his mettle previously—having vanquished a man in fair combat, even to the death—his peers still dismissed him as worthless.

An organizer, draped in a black robe with an inscrutable face, approached bearing small flags. "The main rule," he announced in a raspy, deep voice, "is to seize these flags without resorting to killing. The one who secures the most flags will be declared the victor."

The competition was set to be fierce, a ruthless scramble where alliances

    They had been introduced earlier, but Lucas was still surprised to see Islode under these circumstances.The moonlight filtering through the forest leaves cast a serene glow on Islode. The tranquil forest, alive with the soft rustling of leaves and the occasional chirping of night birds, created a surreal atmosphere. Lucas, observing Islode in the moonlight, noticed an anomaly."You really don't sweat anymore," he remarked, almost in disbelief. His voice blended with the gentle sounds of the surrounding foliage.This observation was peculiar, considering that Islode had appeared quite sweaty earlier. However, since Lucas had helped her out of her soaked garments, her skin now seemed inexplicably dry and unblemished.Islode stood there, her nudity almost ethereal in the moonlight, but Lucas was more intrigued by this oddity than her appearance."I have a strange condition," Islode confided in Lucas, who had become her unexpected ally.She paused thoughtfully, as if choosing her words c

    Lucas had just parted ways with Islode earlier, the woman who had announced her intention to return to her family. This decision seemed logical, considering she had been deeply involved in infiltrating the cultivators' race, a dangerous endeavor where lives were constantly at risk.As Lucas stood alone in the quiet of the forest, he closed his eyes, immersing himself in the tranquility around him while drawing in every ounce of power and energy his body could muster."I really got a big harvest today," Lucas mused aloud, pleasantly surprised by his unexpected acquisition of a formidable new technique.With a casual tap of his finger, a small mist materialized around his hand. This was no ordinary mist; it harbored an extraordinary quality that few would anticipate.Suddenly, small but intense lightning strikes began to crackle within the mist, revealing the true power it concealed. Lucas, wearing a triumphant smile, was clearly satisfied with his newfound ability."Mist technique, hea

    In the midst of the blazing sun that enveloped the dense forest, Lucas was visibly shaking, whether from fear or feigned weakness was unclear."Lcuas, you finally feel the fear?" Lorrick teased with a smirk."So you're afraid of dying too, Lucas?" Lorrick taunted again. However, his mocking was short-lived, as Lucas' trembling was swiftly replaced by a confident smile."You think you've won, Lorrick?" Lucas' voice echoed through the forest, challenging.The two men locked eyes, a silent battle of wills ensuing."Heh, still playing tough, Lucas? No one will save you," Lorrick declared, raising the artefact he held.The artefact, gripped tightly in Lorrick's hand, was the source of Lucas' current weakness. It had drained all of Lucas' inner strength, leaving him temporarily unable to access his powers.Yet, Lucas stepped forward, his stride exuding confidence. "You think by taking away my inner strength, I'll be defeated?" His laugh, sinister and mocking, reverberated amongst the trees,

    Behind the veil of mystery shrouding the labyrinthine streets of Jade Valley City, a secret base stood tall, ingeniously concealed from the public eye. The infamous group known as the Hell Rats had numerous secret headquarters peppered throughout various locations, one of which was nestled in the enigmatic Jade Valley. On this particular morning, the atmosphere inside this covert base was unusually somber. The silence, typically rare in such a den of activity, was punctuated only by the occasional clink of coffee cups. Seated opposite each other were two figures known as Blue Rat and White Rat, elite members of this shadowy organization. Engrossed in their morning ritual, they sipped strong black coffee, its bitter aroma permeating the room. The faces of these two people, usually hidden, were now unmasked - a rare occurrence in itself. Blue Rat, with his piercing gaze, noted the slivers of morning sunlight sneaking through the narrow cracks of the aged window. As the sunlight dance

    Coil stood tall, his shadow cast across the stones of the Stromwind family courtyard, his face hard, exposed to the blinding sunlight. His anger burned like an unquenchable ember. Barely an hour had passed since he arrived here, standing frozen with his gaze fixed on the moss-green door."Bloody Lucas, is he playing me?" Coil cursed inwardly.Lucas had asked for about an hour, but all the Lucas in front of him did was sit and yawn, as if deliberately testing the limits of Coil's patience."Lucas... have you decided yet?" Coil asked, his voice tinged with impatience, waiting for Lucas' decision. Lucas just shrugged and shook his head nonchalantly."It hasn't been an hour yet," Lucas said indifferently, his demeanor seeming to undermine the urgency Coil felt.To Coil, that time stretched like an eternity. He stared at the gate behind him out of the corner of his eye, his attention intermittently shifting to Lucas, who sat relaxed in front of the door, appearing utterly unconcerned by Co

    In a bustling corner of the city, there nestled a tavern, perpetually brimming with patrons. Renowned for its sumptuous beverages and a cozy ambiance, it drew a diverse crowd. Into this lively scene, a woman entered, her stride quiet yet determined. Clad in unassuming attire, she might have passed as just another local, save for the distinctive face covering that obscured all but her sharp, piercing eyes.Known in the martial underworld as the White Rat, she was a notorious member of the feared Hell Rats gang. This day, however, marked a departure from her usual guise; she had foregone her iconic white Rat head mask. Settling into a discreet corner, the White Rat strategically positioned herself for an unobstructed view of the entire tavern, while remaining largely unnoticed. Her keen gaze methodically swept over the patrons, intent on gleaning crucial information.Internally, she battled a sense of foreboding. "Why this unease?" she pondered.

    The night was quiet yet unnerving. In the midst of the suffocating stillness, a man burst forth, running with desperate, labored breaths. His fear was palpable, driven by the urgent need to escape. It was clear he was running for his life, his every step fuelled by sheer terror. Shadows flickered ominously around him, each one sending his heart racing. The distant sound of footsteps only heightened his adrenaline. He was acutely aware of the demon cultivator on his heels – a formidable adversary, not to be underestimated. Tragically, he found himself the target of this cultivator, a cruel twist of fate for someone who was merely a mortal. "You won't get away, hahaha!" The hoarse, mocking call echoed through the night, signaling the pursuer's confidence. This cultivator, seemingly amused, appeared to be prolonging the chase, much like a tiger toying with a rabbit before the kill. Exhausted and desperate, the man clung to a flicker of hope. "I must reach the Moon Lotus Sect before h

    The leaves whispered softly in the bright sunlight, creating a serene atmosphere in the lush forest. Amidst this tranquility, Lucas stood alone, his focus unwavering as he diligently honed his fighting skills. For over a month, he had been practicing relentlessly, striving to seamlessly integrate the moves he had mastered into fluid combat techniques. Among these were two notable skills, known as "Mist Technique: Primordial Fire" and "Mist Technique: Heavenly Thunder.""Focus, Lucas, focus," he murmured to himself, channeling his concentration. As he did, his hand released a unique mist, laden with lethal potential. The mist, subtle in its manifestation, was so potent that a nearby dry leaf spontaneously combusted upon contact. This was the essence of Lucas's training—a technique designed to kill without leaving any trace. He endeavored to refine his control, minimizing the mist's presence to ensure maximum stealth and efficiency.However, the forest's calm was abruptly disrupted. A f

    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.

    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

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

    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
