The sun began to set, and all the corpses had been gathered and burned. They prayed according to their beliefs. Not long after, everyone dispersed on their own, as darkness had marked the end of their activities. The world was indeed cruel, even to good and powerful people. A deep sorrow lingered, and this separation felt unimaginable. "I truly… I never hoped we would part like this," Song Yang sobbed in the darkness of his chamber, unable to accept the loss of his beloved wife. Meanwhile, Wu Xiao Shi was organizing a group to protect the emperor. Nearly all the soldiers had perished—a pity, as many of them had just been newly recruited. "What should I do to keep this empire safe if I leave? Will the Long Empire attack as well? Or will they realize that greed benefits no one?" the young man muttered to himself. He sat alone after giving instructions to the volunteer citizens willing to help. However, he ensured they were compensated—using someone's labor without providing anything
The guards allowed him to enter without objection because he came with Prince Ming. Though it seemed odd, they didn’t question it further.Wu Xiao Shi seated himself on the Ming Emperor’s throne. By doing so, he was essentially treating the Ming Empire as a joke.Many people hurried to the hall—high-ranking officials, along with all the princes and princesses of the Ming Emperor. They were furious to see someone sitting on the sacred throne, a place they believed only the noble and rightful Emperor should occupy.“Get down from there, you fool! That’s not your place!” an elderly man with a beard and mustache shouted. He was Ming Cheong, the warlord tasked with safeguarding the empire. The throne was his responsibility, and anyone disrespecting it would face his wrath. To him, his life and death were dedicated to the Ming Empire.The young man remained seated, leaning back casually as he cleaned his nails, ignoring the shouting. His eyes glanced around but didn’t spot Ming Rui. Then, h
"You will never escape me, Ming Rui. Your life was destined to end at my hands. For a moment, I thought of letting you go, but you have committed an unforgivable sin."Wu Xiao Shi stretched out his hand, grabbing Ming Rui’s long hair. "Is this how you pulled the hair of my woman?" He yanked hard, pulling Ming Rui’s head back, causing him to grimace in pain. "Remember, this is karma brought upon yourself by your own hands. Let me break them so you'll never forget your sins.""Pl-please don’t!" Ming Rui panicked, clearly unwilling to lose his hands. "I know I was wrong! Forgive me!" He begged, kneeling, trying to bow, but Wu Xiao Shi’s grip on his hair held him in place.With his left hand, Wu Xiao Shi formed a fiery claw and grabbed Ming Rui’s right hand. A scream echoed through the chamber as the young man ruthlessly tore it off.Krezz!! "Aaaaaargh! It hurts!" Ming Rui sobbed uncontrollably, tears flowing as he stared at his severed hand, which was callously discarded to the side.Wu
Even though the Emperor of Ming roared with a full-throated scream, it wouldn't change the fact that what lay before his eyes was the severed head of his youngest son.Tears streamed down his face, indescribable and filled with anguish. For a parent, the happiness of their child is a sacred duty. Yet, sometimes parents choose the wrong path, leading only to misery and suffering."It's not just this," Wu Xiao Shi began coldly. "Your entire lineage and palace have been destroyed by my hands. The Ming Empire now has no name, no ruler, and will become easy prey for others who want to take it over. But perhaps no one will dare touch it—do you know why? Because I've left the mark of the Song Empire on it."Wu Xiao Shi pulled a chair, sat down, and stared at the now pathetic Emperor of Ming."Just kill me now!" the Emperor shouted again, his voice a mix of rage and despair. But Wu Xiao Shi remained indifferent, smirking coldly."Your death is not mine to give," Wu Xiao Shi said firmly. "It i
An atmosphere of grief enveloped the large, stately house. Where a man lay stiff in bed and cried by many people."My son... Sob.. Sob" A beautiful woman with thick eyebrows. Round eyes and curled eyelashes. Red lips opened with a sly smile knotted there.A man who is quite old, he can only lean against the wall when he sees the proud child leave him first.No parent would expect to see their child lying stiff like that. What is expected is pride in achievement and also respect for parents before death.The cries of everyone were heard as one figure escorted one to the last place.Outside the house, one of his school friends came to mourn. To ensure news and truth about the death of their friends.Among the people present, a handful of people were laughing in their hearts. Laughing happily saw the troublemaker in the school in a coffin that was carried by four people and put in an ambulance.'There are no more bullies in the school now. This is so fun'Inner voice of one of the student
The howls of the wolves became more and more as they came trying to force the young man down from the tree. However if he went down, he would definitely become a delicacy for those hungry wolves."I remember, the **** granted my third wish. I must remember it correctly, star cultivation, come out!"Nothing happened after waiting for how many breaths."Eh, why aren't there any scrolls or techniques coming out, let me close my eyes!" he muttered again.Wu Xiao Shi closed his eyes and searched in his memory if there was a requested technique tucked away? Among the fragments of memory that exist. The star cultivation technique appeared and he immediately put it into practice."Sit cross-legged with your hands on the ends of your knees and then take a deep breath, concentrating on feeling the natural energy flowing between heaven and earth. Then make it pure Qi energy and put it into the body"He practiced while talking to himself, not caring anymore about the wolf's howling. He just wants
One day passed without interruption. The spirit crystal ball had already begun to fade and turn to ashes, as the energy that was gathering and swirling around its body rushed in.explosion!! His body shook, the muffled sound of explosions now a sign that he had leveled up again.Wu Xiao Shi dug into the body owner's memories and found a known cultivation level for this realm.Cultivation is divided into nine realms and each realm is further divided into three levels, the lowest to the highest cultivation being as follows.the Black realm, the Fighting Realm, the Energy Core Realm, the Earth Realm, the Earth King Realm, the Sky Realm, the Sky King Realm, the Emperor Realm and finally the Sovereign Realm“Keeping that in mind, I've only entered the intermediate stage of the Dark Realm. But for someone my age it should already be in the warrior realm, at least the initial stage” he muttered. “But that's fine, with that evil god star cultivation technique. I can level up easily” he laughed
Those who initially competed for strength and wanted to show who was the strongest among them, had to lie on the ground due to hitting each other's tight chests.Badly injured? It was obvious they were hurt. Who benefits? explained the young man who was now walking towards them.They both wanted to get up but they weren't just out of energy after such a long fight. But also running out of stamina to stand up.. Even a child can kill them. If they stay like that."Help me son, I will adopt as a disciple!" said the man in brown clothes stammered. There was blood flowing between his lips. After that he coughed up blood and held his tight chest.“Just help me, I'm also as strong as him. and I have a high standing in the sect. You will get everything you want if you help me!” offered the person in black. He also had blood coming out of his mouth after saying that.Wu Xiao Shi walked towards the person who first spoke. He came closer. "Boy! I can make you level up quickly. Help me!" shouted t

Wu Xiao Shi removed his warrior's armor, which felt cumbersome. Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, he soared into the sky. With a swift movement of his hands, he threw several flags into the four cardinal directions, creating a Restriction Formation to trap Jiang Fa and Emperor Ming. This time, he poured immense spiritual energy into the formation to subdue his enemies.However, before the formation could fully activate, Jiang Fa struck first. The attack sent Wu Xiao Shi flying, slamming hard into the ground.Emperor Ming laughed heartily. Though he was no match for Wu Xiao Shi himself, with Jiang Fa by his side, he had nothing to fear. It was evident now that the young man was nothing more than a plaything for the half-mad warrior."If only my realm had reached the Sky Realm, this fight might have been easier. But the gap between our cultivation levels is an insurmountable barrier limiting my power," Wu Xiao Shi muttered, clenching his fists and pounding the ground in frus
Bam!Wu Xiao Shi shifted just in time. If he had stayed even a second longer, he would have been flung far away. The power of his opponent was far beyond what he could currently contend with.Meanwhile, Song Yang, who had regained his strength, fought against several of Jiang Fa’s subordinates. Despite facing five opponents at the peak of the Earth King realm, he still managed to hold his ground.With a diagonal leap, Song Yang swung the long sword in his hand.Slash! One enemy fell. Song Yang swiftly moved in a zigzag pattern, taking advantage of the opening created by his first strike. He lunged at two enemies flanking him, slashing with his sword while delivering a high kick.Though his sword strikes were parried, his kicks were not.Thud... Thud... Ugh!Anger seemed to awaken something within Song Yang.Two opponents remained standing, readying themselves to counterattack. They assumed their most solid stances and unleashed their signature techniques.“Killer Cobra!” one shouted,
Wu Xiao Shi flew at full speed, he didn't stop when he passed through the capital's gates. And continued to speed without stopping towards the palace whose gates were still tightly closed.From that height, Wu Xiao Shi could still see the bodies left scattered in the palace grounds.Swoosh! The young man came down and slipped, seeing a guard walking alone. Wu Xiao Shi caught him and covered his mouth, then delivered a death blow. Then he took the guard's clothes and put them on himself.Finished with his disguise, the young man headed to prison, because basically anyone would be imprisoned even if they were innocent if they opposed someone in power.Sets sets sets! three sword slashes were immediately released, before they screamed.Descend the stairs which have almost fifty steps. Wu Xiao Shi took the torch. The prison was very dark even though it was still bright outside with the sun hanging as proof. perhaps because of the depth of the prison itself and the lack of lighting, making
"This is important and very urgent, please hurry!"Heard the girl was surnamed Song. One person rushed into the hall and headed for the Emperor's special room."Go inside, you should rest, someone has called Emperor Shi!" Said one of the people standing near the pole.Song Hye followed inside. His heart was still worried about the condition of his father and his mother's body now. Deep anxiety was visible on his face. How could it not be, these successive tragedies are so suffocating.Wu Xiao Shi rushed to leave her work and meet Song Hye when she heard her dire situation.The news was surprising to him, because since she left the Song Empire was safe and under control, but why did Song Hye get hurt?Song Hye immediately hugged Wu Xiao Shi when she saw her. The hug followed by crying was very loud, sobbing could be heard.Wu Xiao Shi herself returned the hug and kissed Song Hye's forehead, gently. "Tell me what happened. Why are you like this?" Looking at those teary eyes made his hea
Even though he was on home turf, Song Yang couldn't fight the enemy.If you imagine it is impossible for an empire to be infiltrated by so many people who want to cause damage. But Emperor Ming had anticipated many things and the plan he executed was perfect.In the carriages there is a lavender scent that can make people sleepy and fall asleep without realizing it. Emperor Ming used this method to paralyze the soldiers in the palace area. so it was easy for hundreds of people hiding under piles of gifts in each carriage to finish off every soldier there like killing a mosquito.A large number of people were killed, as well as blood that became pools everywhere. Their fate is truly sad. Don't know why you died?That's how the soldiers of the Song empire died__Braak! The door to the special room was kicked hard, the culprit was Tian Zhu who was angry when he heard that Emperor Ming had done something unacceptable."Harassing the Song empire is tantamount to seeking death!" He stood
