Within a small window frame, the old man had made the decision that he would kill Li Shen. The fact that he could cultivate was riddled with consequences Powers like the Demonic Cult couldn’t fathom.Who was Li Shen?He was the Second Prince of the Maple Continent, who had caused chaos in the ranks of every Power on the Continent when it was found that he had two Supreme Grade attributes.In truth, everyone might have forgotten about Li Shen and written him off as a threat, but the Demonic Cult had never done such a thing.Their years of living in the shadows had created their cautious nature. Anything that so much as showed an ounce of threat to them would gain their full attention.They might not have been watching him like other geniuses, but they hadn’t taken their eyes off of him simply because he couldn’t cultivate.The old man, after finding out he actually could, was willing to sacrifice himself to kill Li Shen. He didn’t care who his father was or the repercussions that would
Li Shen flew to a specific Core Formation Realm-level city.He breached its surrounding walls undetected and entered an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city through a broken window on its second floor.With a loud thud, he fell to the wooden floor. In the dark room, Li Shen lay on his back eyes closed as he examined his body.The poison was the color purple and he watched as it moved through his bloodstream via his veins to his internal organs. Even his meridians weren't an exception, it was using these channels to spread throughout his entire body.If this continued, even though he won’t die, his health would deteriorate to resemble someone in old age. As for his cultivation, it would come to a grinding halt as his meridian would become disfigured, making him unable to cultivate properly.This was a sinister poison that aimed to cripple someone.“Haha…”Despite the results if left untreated, Li Shen couldn’t help but let out a self-deprecating chuckle.“...Hypocrite.”After a
“Young Master this isn’t like you to make such rash decisions like going after the Poison Demonic Sect hideouts. The Young Master I know would have developed a plan to deal with the situation, not this suicide method.”Li Shen shook his head and said.“I’m perfectly myself, and there’s nothing for you to worry about, I’m handling the situation like any other time.”“Really?’Lihua suddenly rebutted.“Because if having a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Poison Demonic Sect attacking you is you handling the situation like usual, then you’d be dead countless times over the years.”Li Wen hearing Lihua’s words had his stoic expression fall, and he hurriedly came to Li Shen’s side to examine him.Fanning him away, Li Shen said.“I’m fine, what are you panicking for?”Turning to Lihua, he asked.“Were you having your sub-division members keep track of me? I went alone, so I had expected you not to-”“Young Master!”Li Shen was suddenly cut off by Li Wen.Surprised by the sudden shout, Li Sh
In a tavern close to the inner city, Li Shen, Lihua, and Li Wen were seated at a table in a corner.The tavern seemed to be popular as more than a few people were coming in and out regularly.Because of the long cloaks they wore, they draw a few eyes but that was it. It wasn’t like people who dressed like them were uncommon in this area. For a cultivator, there were more than a few reasons that can crop up that require them to hide their appearance.‘Young Master, why did we come here? I don’t think us going alone is a good idea, please reconsider.’Li Wen who was to Li Shen’s right sent a message through their shared mental link.Li Shen didn't respond and was instead frowning under his robes, his eyes darting to a few people at a nearby table that was quite noisy, obviously drunk.His eyes then turned to an old bartender that just came up to another table with a tray of food.He looked at that table that had a few young disciples that seemed to be from a local sect in the area.Li S
Num.Num.Num.Lick.Lick.Lick.The sound of a starving pig chewing its food could be heard with the sounds of licking in between.In the abandoned house Li Shen, Lihua, and Li Wen were surrounding the pig in question, watching as it chew sloppily as if what it just said wasn’t shocking.“Tongguo Xian, say that again.”Lihua asked him for clarification.The boy they rescued was named Tongguo Xian. After finding out he was unaffected unlike everyone else in the city, Li Shen suggested they brought him back.They gave him food and new clothes after he bathe. Now with all of the smudges that were caked onto his face gone and his hair neatly combed back into a ponytail, even a stoic Li Wen had to do a double take when he saw his appearance.It was too perfect.As if his face had been sculpted by a god. This wasn’t an exaggeration, it was a simple fact that even had a shameless Li Shen sizing him up as a worthy competition, unwilling to admit he was inferior.After swallowing the food in
It sounded ridiculous, but there were miniature insects that resembled spiders that were responsible for Xian's rapid regeneration.Lihua and Li Wen as well had used their Soul Sense to see the process and they were just as confused.Silence overcame the room for a brief moment leaving Xian in a worried state.Li Shen then said after a moment.“Don’t move.”He then sent his perception into Xian’s hand which he was still holding.He should have done this the moment he saw that he wasn’t affected by the Demonic Qi. Li Shen started examining Xian’s body thoroughly.He was too curious about what was up with him. His origins were strange, his body was strange, everything about him was too strange.Li Shen moved his perception to his dantian, and as he thought before, he saw nothing. There was no dantian in his abdomen, Xian was nothing but a mortal that couldn’t cultivate.But something was obviously different about him, so Li Shen move to the next location, which was his Sea of Consciousn
“Waaahhh!” Xian screamed with a frightened expression while Li Wen carried him under his arm. The group was currently moving along the rooftops of buildings while trying to remain in the shadows of the night. “Will you stop your screaming and point us in the right direction?!” Lihua snapped towards Xian, who immediately smiled and tried to present himself in a good light as he said. “Goddess Lihua don’t be angry. I told you I have a bad memory so I only vaguely remember where I escaped.” For the past hour, they were running around following Xian’s directions, but it was at the 30-minute mark did they realize he was having them running in circles. Right now they were basically in enemy territory while having no idea how this Poison Demonic Sect hideout was set up, or if they were keeping watch of the city. They were basically moving around a room full of pins and needles while blindfolded, having no idea when they would step on one of the pins and set off a deadly chain reaction
“I-I…” Xian stuttered out incoherently. “Tsk, it’s just a mortal, how annoying.” The other young man said with a discontented expression. “Well, that’s good, I was getting bored having to guard this door. This guy looks interesting.” The female said as he looked at Xian up and down with a seductive look. However, Xian’s skin crawled as she was gazing at him like one would look at a fat slab of meat. The two males looked at each other, and as if they were putting their differences aside, turn back to Xian with killing intent. “Handsome fellows like you deserve death.” One of the young man who had a scar running from across his nose scowled as he approach Xian with the other. Xian hearing this, couldn’t help but blurt out. “It’s not my fault you have the face of a pig.” That young man froze before he look at Xian with a dark expression. “This fucking bastard! Let’s see how you look when I peel your face off.” His face twisted into a malevolent expression as a small knife ap
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
