*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*A thunderclap echoed overhead as the disciples in the Battle Arena waited in anticipation for the match-up between Bai Lu and Fei Yin.The rain had begun to fall heavily some time ago and it was increasing in intensity over time. Disciples who weren't that worried about getting wet were standing below the stage, some using their Internal Qi to coat their bodies to avoid the rain soaking their clothes, while some just let it fall drenching them wet.The disciples who found it annoying to stand in the rain had taken shelter among the many booths that line the Battle Arena. However, they have to settle with watching the battle from a distance, but they didn't seem to mind.Xi Shen, Yang Su, and Lihua were among the crowd and Xi Shen was one of those persons who was letting the rain soak his figure. His slightly golden hair stuck to his face and as he stood there with his hands behind his back, his robes clung to his body which made the outline of his muscles be
Xi Shen watched as Fei Yin walked off the stage with a resplendent glow in his eyes. He had just witnessed Fei Yin go through a Dao Realization. A Dao Realization was something that one could try as hard as they could but could never trigger willingly. It was something that can happen spontaneously, triggered by a sudden thought, or a situation one has been put in. Fei Yin’s case was the latter, and the result of his Dao Realization was that for a brief moment he was able to bridge the gap between Bai Lu and himself and kill him within an instant. As for the Dao Fei Yin has come to realize, Xi Shen had his speculations based on past events and Fei Yin’s words just now. Life and Death. Fei Yin’s Qi was the Wood Elemental, and it has been known to be associated with life and vitality. But in the past, Fei Yin had been stuck in a perpetual loop of wanting to die but wanting to keep living so he could take revenge. He was a walking contradiction, as well as the fact that his thoughts
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Crash!!*The Qi Sea projection behind Xi Shen actually has the ability to affect the material world, and worse of all it was absorbing the Time Qi from the surroundings as well.Somehow, his Qi Sea projection in the outside world was connected to the one in his Dantian, and as the one in the outside world absorbs Time Qi the one in his Dantian began to fully form.It had only been about 30secs since his Qi Sea projection appeared but it had already grown to twenty meters, almost filling up his entire room!And it showed no sign of stopping until it reached its full size.Each Phase of the Meridian Opening Realm allows a cultivator to start off with an initial size Qi Sea.The First Phase -1-9 opened meridians- allows a cultivator to start off with a five-meter Qi Sea after breaking through to the Sea Expansion Realm. The Second Phase -10-27 opened meridians- allows one to form a 10-meter Qi Sea, the Third Phase -28-50 opened meridians- is 15 meters, and the Fourth
Xi Shen once again called upon his Heavenly Physique and uses its aura to coat the entirety of his Qi Sea to hide its presence.The Heavenly Tribulation that was forming in the sky above his courtyard found its target had disappeared, causing it to dissipate.Ye Fei, who was casually strolling through the air some distance away from the Sword Pavilion mountain, paused his steps to look up at the sky.‘Was it my imagination?’Fei Yin asked himself, before he moved towards the Sword Pavilion Mountain again, more specifically to Xi Shen’s courtyardBack in Xi Shen’s room, Xi Shen sigh a relief when he sensed the Heavenly Tribulation dissipating. But still had on a frown since his Qi Sea was still fighting back against his control.It was already more than halfway in and it would only take several seconds to fully have it suppressed.This gave Xi Shen a split second of time to think about what his Qi Sea attracting a Heavenly Tribulation entails.‘It must be because I have my Spiritual Ph
Mountains, waterfall, a sun overhead, and overall just a beautiful scenery. After entering the small wooden hut this was what Xi Shen saw. It seemed as if he had been transported to another world entirely. Xi Shen step forward, but suddenly thought of something and then looked behind him. The door he had just entered was nowhere to be seen. Xi Shen stood where he was not moving, he gaze at the surroundings with narrowed eyes that held a glint in them. The blessings of the heavens gave him the ability to see as well as comprehend the various Laws in the universe. But until he fully comprehends the Six Basic Laws then he couldn’t utilize this ability to its limit. Meaning he could only see the Six Elements and vaguely see the others. The view of in environment in Xi Shen's eyes shifted and a world completely different from before appeared before him. He saw the Laws of the Six Elements swirling around the everywhere in this world, but he also sense an abstruse force within the sky.
Xi Shen was glad that she had no knowledge about his secrets but still had on a solemn expression.‘Was it because of the heavens blessings that my fate is unreadable? Or is it something else?’Dongmei spoke up and said, “Li Shen, even though I couldn’t see your future, I determined that your faith is tied with the survival of our Maple Continent. From the things I saw over the last hundred years, my heart is in turmoil at the events that are going to unfold in the future. I believe your mere existence is something that could potentially divert those disasters to a different outcome.”Xi Shen sat there listening to Dongmei, but he was confused as she was barely making any sense, ‘Survival of the Maple Continent? Disasters? Isn’t she hinting at the fact of the Maple Continent could face a disaster that could destroy it in the future? Or am I mistaking it?’Xi Shen suddenly began scratching his head as the more he think about it the more he was getting confused.‘And I can’t ask her for
Dongmei lifted up her left sleeve and saw the curse on her hand had completely overtaken her forearm. Her once black hair turned silver and the smooth jade-like skin on her hands had many wrinkles appeared on them.Beside her, the figure of an old lady in long black robes suddenly appeared.Dongmei who was sitting at the table became transparent before she dissipated into colorful blue particles before entering one of the four-star points on the old woman's forehead.The image on her forehead was in the shape of a cross, with a star at the ends of each point.The one on the left dimed considerably after the particles enter it, matching the ones on the right and bottom. This resulted in the old woman groaning and her face became deathly pale.“Was giving him that jade slip too much? If I hadn’t he wouldn’t have discovered that Soul Art until much later, it’s best if he had it early on,” said the old woman in an assured tone.However, her face showed doubt as she looked towards the sky.
As Yang Su and the rest were closely observing the Soul Art with curious eyes, meanwhile, Bai Xiaofung turned to Xi Shen who had sat next to him and in a bemoaning voice said, “Brother Shen, it’s so haaaard.” Bai Xiaofung then broke down in tears to the utter dumbfoundment of Xi Shen. Looking at his disheveled hair, ruffled close, and the dark circles under his eyes, Xi Shen gave Bai Xiaofung a strange look. While in tears, Bai Xiaofung would take gulps of wine from his cup between his sobbing. The expression on Xi Shen’s face didn’t leave as he turned from Bai Xiaofung to look at everyone else. He saw that they had bitter expressions on their face as if they had been dealing with Bai Xiaofung, who was like this, all afternoon. Turning back to a distraught-looking Bai Xiaofung, Xi Shen forced a smile and asked, “Brother Fung, what has gotten you like this?” Bai Xiaofung looked up, and with tears and an awful amount of snot coming from his nose, his lips trembled uncontrollably be
So, that's the end of Book One."..."Are you mad?"..."Of course you are, I'm sorry."Fuck you, Author..."Wah! I'm really sorry!!*start groveling and begging for forgiveness.*For those of you who haven't seen it in the last chapter(it's not like I didn't put it in the title.) I made the decision to end Book One here, right on the edge of a massive cliff... don't kill me haha, I swear I'll write Book Two.Oh, did you see the title of Book Two? If not here it is again... BOOK TWO: War Of Continents... coming soon.I always intended to split this novel into separate books, but I never planned on stopping Book One here. At first, I made the decision to go on hiatus, but then as I read over the last few chapters I realized this was somewhat of a good place to end Book One... please don't kill me.For all the readers who have reached this point... thank you.I've been writing this book for over a year now. Arguably I haven't posted much in the last three months, but we don't talk about t
When Gu Min landed in front of him, Yang Su stood there staring at him with a blank expression while tears ran down his cheeks.“What, you won't even come running to hug me after not seeing me for so long? You always did when we were little. Or have you grown too big now? You’re almost as tall as I am.”Gu Min said this jokingly, but Yang Su could only lower his head and began wiping his tears.Gu Min walked up to him and hugged him.“It’s okay, why are you crying?”“I-I thought you died because of me. And Mom and Dad, they…”“Did they blame you?”A sad expression appeared on Gu Min’s face, but Yang Su shook his head.“No, after they thought you died they wouldn’t let me out of their sights. It's because of you that I couldn’t even set foot outside of the house.”Gu Min cracked a smile when he heard his little brother’s words.“I’m sorry I didn’t come home, I-”“It’s fine.”Yang Su suddenly said cutting off Gu Min.“As long as you’re fine I don’t care if I never see you again, I just
Ling Tian was in the sky scanning the crowd of disciples down below.His heart was filled with both anger and frustration.Soon, his gaze stopped on a figure that was trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible.But despite the hood hiding their appearance, Ling Tian knew exactly who this person was.In a fit of rage and worry, he bolted toward this person.On the ground, Li Shen looked at Yang Su and asked.“Yang Su, what do you mean, is that person your older brother?”Everyone in the group heard this and they all turned to look at Yang Su.Yang Su nodded and said.“He looks slightly different, but I’m sure that’s him.”While Xian was smiling off to the side, Mu Fan glanced at Yang Su’s brother in the air and scowled.“His hair is ever redder than yours, how revolting.”Jun frowned and elbowed Mu Fan to shut up.As Yang Su continued to look at his brother he started to become more agitated.He was skeptical of Xian’s words before but now that he saw his brother he was overcom
Mu Fan placed everyone down before they all glared at Xian.Xian shrugged his shoulders in response.Jun was about to comment on Xian being here, but Li Shen placed a hand on his shoulder.“Look after Lu Yue for me.”Hearing this, Jun turned to look at Lu Yue before hurrying over.Fei Yin hurried over as well, it looked like she had a few superficial wounds he was able to heal.Li Shen then looked at Xian and asked.“What’s the point of you joining? You seem to have a group of your own.”“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t join yours right?”Li Shen went silent for a moment and then said.“I’ll think about it. For now, we should focus on why we were teleported here.”Xian turned to look at the front of the hall where a throne was before saying with narrowed eyes.“Isn’t it obvious my other half? Someone wants us here.”Hearing Xian’s words, everyone in the group had their expressions change.They suddenly had a bad feeling rise in their hearts. One that Mu Fan long had.“Master…?”Li She
“D-Damn it, what is happening now?!”Mu Fan cried out as he saw his fingers fading away.Li Shen looked over at him and then down at his own hand to see his fingers were fading away as well, and at a rapid pace at that.Li Shen then looked towards the sky to see that after shattering, what was revealed was a clear blue sky.The shattered fragments of the previous crimson sky were still hovering in the air, reflecting the blue sky above and the Fiery Dimension below at the same time.Looking away from this scene, Li Shen bent down to pick up Lu Yue and carry her bridal style. He then turned to Mu Fan and said.“It’s okay, we’re being teleported to the Hidden Fragmented Realm. Hold onto me.”Mu Fan hurriedly got up and place his overly large palms on Li Shen’s shoulders.Mu Fan then watched in curiosity as a strange black light with starry light in it spread from Li Shen’s body to cover both him and Lu Yue.“What kind of ability is this?”Mu Fan said looking around. It almost seemed as
“Stop being so dramatic, I barely touched you.”Li Shen said as he gave Mu Fan who was on the ground a cursory glance.Mu Fan wined.“It is you. Bastard, do you want to get hit in the head and see how it feels?”Mu Fan then glared at Li Shen, but in response, Li Shen merely rolled his eyes and then turn back to check on an unconscious Lu Yue.Mu Fan also turned to her and asked.Is she going to be alright?”“If we can get to Jun in time, then everything will be fine.”“Is that why you let those bastards get away?”Mu Fan said as he watch Gu Jin and Shiming fly away with the rest of the Fire Empire’’s disciples and Ming Clan members.Li Shen shifted his head to look in their direction before turning back to Lu Yue.“There will come a time when they can longer run away from me, but that time hasn’t come yet. Rather, you should be healing your injuries before thinking about fighting in your condition.”“It merely scratches, I’m fine!”Mu Fan said confidentially, but Li Shen suddenly saw
“You fucker, I’ll definitely kill you for this!!”Shiming’s face was deathly pale, but intense hatred was evident in his eyes.“Huh? How are you going to do that when you’re going to see King Yama?”Mu Fan kicked Shiming’s severed arm that held his saber to the side as he walked towards him.Shiming manage to stop his bleeding and he held his stump as he slowly got up.A crazed look was in his eyes that matched Mu Fan’s own.Mu Fan didn’t care and he rushed to lop off his head like he promised he would.He appeared in front of Shiming and did a horizontal slash.However, a crazed Shiming suddenly grasp the void and a red illusory blade appeared in his remaining hand.Swoosh!Shiming swung it towards Mu Fan’s incoming saber and a Blade Energy no weaker than Mu Fan’s own swept out.BANG!A loud explosion occurred that caused the ground beneath the two to form a massive crater.Shiming was seen flying out of the dust that had risen in the area.Even when he called on his own Blade Will h
Shiming wasn’t in a hurry as he flew over to where Mu Fan was.Previously when Mu Fan had reached this location and realized he had found Lu Yue, he didn’t hesitate to start hacking.Now laying around him were numerous bloody corpses of the Fire Empire Disciples. But of course, there were also disciples who came from various small Sects that were transported here with Lu Yue. A few disciples in the group Mu Fan came with had died too.Mu Fan frowned at this sight.Something didn’t feel right to him. He loved hacking these fuckers for what they were doing, but this type of massacre irked him.It’s as if it was all planned.Mu Fan didn’t know, but he could vaguely sense something was wrong.As Mu Fan was feeling repulsed by this massacre, Shiming’s voice echoed behind him.“Why do I always have to deal with you?”Mu Fan slowly turned to see Shiming land not too far away from him. His eyes narrowed.“You don’t have to worry about that for too long. Once I lop off your head then you never
Gu Jin would send out a fist or a palm strike towards Lu Yue and she would counter it with her Sword Technique.However, she would be blown back and injured every time.After a few more of this, Lu Yue realized that she was getting further away from the battle.Gu Jin had purposely brought them here.“Are you just now realizing the situation you’re in?”Gu Jin said with a laugh.Lu Yue had fallen to the ground and as she slowly got up, Gu Jin’s gaze roamed over her slightly disheveled body.It didn’t take a genius to understand what was going on.However, Lu Yue seemed unphased despite the blood at the corner of her lips and was even weak to the point where she had to lean on her sword for support.Looking at Gu Jin, she said.“And it seems you haven’t realized the situation you're in yet.”Upon hearing that, Gu Jin frowned.However, a moment later his expression changed.Inside his body, he sensed several strands of frigid energy slowly circulating in his meridians.If it weren’t for
