Before Mu Fan asked any follow-up questions, Lihua said, “My name is Zhi Lihua age sixteen, and my innate talent is at the Sky grade with my comprehension being at the Heaven Grade. My life goal is to protect the Li Imperial Family even if that means the cost of my life.”Hearing that, Xi Shen nodded a few times before he pointed at Fang Chen and said, “Fang Chen, your next.”“Hm.” Fang Chen made a sound of agreement before he firmly said, “My name is Fang Chen, age sixteen. My innate talent is low, at the Human Grade, but my Soul and cultivation attribute is at the Sky grade. My life’s goal is to spread the Nine Swords of Slaughter Sword Formation fame throughout the Maple Continent and beyond for my master.”Fei Yin and the others were surprised at this, aside from Xi Shen, Fang Chen hadn’t told anyone about his goal.“Following me was the right choice, I can provide you with opportunities to make that dream of yours come true. Alright then, Fei Yin your turn.”“Yes, Young Master. M
After leaving the Mu Clan, Xi Shen entered the City to look around, but mostly just to calm his thoughts.The mundane world always gave him a peace of mind, whether it reminded him of those few years in his own village or it was a nice change of pace from the cultivation of world affairs.‘Now that I think about it, I was 14 when those events happened, sending my world crashing down on my head. It happened in the blink of an eye, but it had left a scar in my heart that’s still affecting me even in this life.’As Xi Shen was thinking that to himself, he would absentmindedly glance at the stall owners by the roadside who were selling their goods.Because he wasn’t really paying attention to them, he didn’t see the cautious look most of them had given him, nor the disgusted looks a few people who swerved around him shot towards his back.Currently, Xi Shen had his messy hair down along with his bare feet and dirty robes, he looked like a child beggar.If his mother had seen him like this
Jun led Xi Shen from the center of the City to its outskirts.The buildings here looked even worst than when they were viewed from above. Xi Shen also saw other children like Jun and Big Nam lurking around the area. Playing childish games that could let them forget about their impoverishment for just a brief moment.The sight was rather tragic. *Splash* Xi Shen’s foot just stepped into a puddle of... well, from the pungent odor and blackness of the liquid inside of it, he didn’t know what was inside of this puddle.Seeing this, Jun said, “Big brother, these streets are rather filthy, you should have probably worn a pair of shoes if you find it discomforting.”“It’s fine.”Xi Shen said as he raised his foot from the puddle.Jun saw that it looked completely dry, the same way it went in was the same way it came out. Jun found that weird phenomenon completely baffling, and he stared at Xi Shen’s clean bare feet in curiosity.“Why does the outer city and the inner city have such dispari
Inside one of the two large Pavilions, a burly man that looked like he was in his late thirties was seated in a chair sipping on a cup of tea. Across from him was a young man in his early twenties that wore golden robes fit for royalty. “Crown Prince, as we have agreed, the weapons and pills are being put together to be delivered to the Royal Palace. You should keep your end of the bargain by covering our tracks in this City. Whatever business we conduct is our own private matters that shouldn’t be investigated.” The young man who was identified as the Crown Prince had one leg over the other, with his fingers intertwined on his lap in a casual manner. “So you propose I give you free rein in this City, and any signs of your existence should be covered up by me?” The burly man sneered in his heart at this youth, while he thought, ‘This pompous brat. He’s only in the 5th stage of the Foundation Realm but here he is trying to look unperturbed. If I wasn’t worried that our existence wi
Blood.A lot of it that it looked like it created a river in the cavern.Standing among the numerous corpses of the Demonic Cultivators he had slain, Xi Shen looked like a vicious beast that had disguised himself as a prey to lure in a pack of eager and bloodthirsty wolves.The savagery and brutality that was prominent in the Demonic Cultivators' eyes as they rushed at Xi Shen were replaced with terror and fear. In their eyes, this masked man that called himself the Faceless Hero was no longer a cornered prey, but a path that would lead them straight to meet King Yama in the underworld.These Demonic Cultivators were people who weren’t new to the brutality of the cultivation world and hadn’t seen a small amount of bloodshed.But as the spotless Xi Shen stood among the corpse of their dead companions, a shiver went down their spines and made their scalps tingle.They were at the back of the group that rushed to Xi Shen, and they cursed in their hearts that they couldn’t have reached Xi
Back in the God Era, at its beginning, there was said to be a remarkable man. His name was long lost to time, but the achievements and prowess he displayed were never forgotten and were the stuff of legends.Of all the Six Basic Laws, the Laws of Fire, the Laws of Metal, the Laws of Wind, the Laws of Earth, the Laws of Water, and the Laws of Wood, the last one to gain an Heir was the Laws of Earth.During that period of time in the God Domain, with nearly all of the six easiest Laws to comprehend gaining an Heir, the cultivators had become desperate.All of them rush to become the sole Heir to the Laws of Earth as fast as they could. Spending hundreds of years in meditation. However, at a certain point, they realized just comprehending the Earth Law and hoping to be the faster one to become the Heir wasn’t enough. So as one cultivator began building his army and influence across the God Domain in order to murder all of his competitors, so did the others, until a war that span the enti
“Faceless Hero? Haha, right, right. *Cough* *Cough*”The burly man coughed up blood once again, and he could feel his life slipping away.With death so close, the burly man wanted to know one thing. Looking up at Xi Shen in his mask, he wondered what this person look like as he said, “Let me know one thing, that Daoist Magic you use to conjure those Sword Qi with your Soul Sense, have you really been using it to its full limit?”The burly man was no fool, after seeing Xi Shen’s physical strength, he could sense that this masked man had willingly allowed him to get close to him. He refused to believe that a person that specialized in long range wouldn’t have some methods up their sleeve to avoid close-quarters combat, even if this masked man had great physical strength, even he could see the strain it placed on him when he used it.Something seemed to flip in Xi Shen’s mind upon hearing the burly man’s question, and smirking a little he said with boastfulness that couldn't be disguised
“Huh, what’s this?”Xi Shen said as he carelessly pick up the round golden object, which was the size of a baby’s fist, and examined it.He felt the Core Formation Realm aura was emanating from this object, and he sense the power it contained which seemed rather chaotic.“This…”Xi Shen had an idea of what this was, and after thinking for a moment about sending his Qi inside of it to stimulate it from its inactive state, he discarded that idea.His Time Qi was no ordinary Qi, certain things one could use the six elemental Qi for, he can’t with his Time Qi. Its power and properties just make it unsuitable to be used willy-nilly like any ordinary Qi, rather, it would be a waste on Xi Shen’s part if he started using it for such trivial things.Instead, he sent out his Divine Will and guided a bit of the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings to enter the golden object.After being stimulated by the Spiritual Qi, the golden object began releasing a bestial aura of a Silver Fang Spirit Beast.“I
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
