Hot.Scorching hot.Li Shen felt a heatwave bombard him from all sides, which almost made him think he suddenly landed in the deepest depths of the underworld. And as he looked around, he was slightly convinced that was so.The sight of lakes lowly with molten lava. Enormous volcanoes far off in the distance emitting black gaseous smoke. And this was with a red artificial sun in the sky that cover the world in a crimson hue.This was the dimension Li Shen appeared in with the other members of the Fire Empire.“Whoa! What is this place?”“Is this where the Chosen Tournament is being held? How come it’s not on the Star Bound Continent?”“This is awesome! I bet this has something to do with our Fire Empire! And here I thought we had to fight those bastards from the Water Empire while they were empowered by the extreme Yin Energy.”“Yeah, but with this we’ll have the advantage no doubt.”Li Shen listened to the dozens of disciples from the Fire Empire as they yelled in excitement.‘Were t
Li Shen examined Gu Jin's demeanor, and he saw how he was trying to hide the prideful look in his eyes when he nodded at the disciple’s question.‘Either this Gu Jin and these people are God-tier actors, or this is situation is truly genuine.’And there was one thing that made Li Shen lean toward believing the latter.His orange petal.Even though he no longer had his Seven Sins Plum Blossom, Li Shen could still vaguely sense a person’s emotions.He couldn’t tell if Gu Jin was lying or not, just that his emotions right now were genuine.‘Looks like this isn’t a trap, it would be strange if they could see through my disguise as well.’Li Shen concluded.But this claim wasn’t out of overconfidence, but because one of his Chaos Physique unique abilities he had discovered was that he could imitate any type of Qi Aura. Whether it was a person’s own, a Spiritual Beast, or merely an object.Li Shen attributed this ability to the fact that Chaos Qi was the origin of all Qi, and his soul and b
In The Outside World…“The next batch of disciples, step forward!!”Gongzhou's announcement swept over the remaining disciples in the square and soon the disciples at the front of the crowd began moving towards the teleportation circle.Yang Su and the others were in this batch of disciples.All of them wore solemn expressions as they knew this whole situation was suspicious.Meanwhile, Tai was wearing a nervous expression and he breathe in and out trying to control his rapidly beating heart.“Tai? Are you okay?”Jun seeing his nervousness asked.“Uhm… How many people are in our group?”Jun wondered why Tai wanted to know this, but he still responded.“If we add sister Yuwei’s Divine Star Academy disciples, Brother Mao Wen and Brother Fuangu's religious factions, along with Lu Shin’s group, our combined group is around three to four hundred people.”Tai hearing this couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.“W-Why do we have so many people? Aren’t there only a hundred spots?”“W
“You fuckers! If anything happens to my sister I’ll uproot your entire Fire Empire!!”BANG!Lu Shin’s figure shot towards the Fire Empire disciples causing a sonic boom.“Damn it, it’s Lu Shin, why is he here?! Wasn’t he suppose to arrive at the Young Master’s location?!”The leader of the Fire Empire disciple couldn’t help but panic when he saw Lu Shin.In the blink of an eye, Lu Shin appeared in front of a Fire Empire disciple and swung down with his sword.This disciple couldn't even release the scream that rise into his throat before he was decapitated.He was a powerful Early Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator, but he had died by Lu Shin’s sword as easily as a helpless chicken.Without missing a beat, Lu Shin’s figure appeared in front of the next disciple and decapitated him as well.As Lu Shin continue to reap their lives, the screams of the Fire Empire disciples rang out and caused the leader to shiver uncontrollably.Without any reservations, and not caring for his appeara
Thud.The Fire Empire disciple Li Shen was holding by the neck fell to the ground.In the surroundings, the aftermath of Li Shen’s battle with over one hundred disciples could be seen. However, even though he had successfully killed all of them, a few parts of his robes were torn showing gruesome injuries.Even for Li Shen it was a bit difficult to take on so many people unarmed.Although, his wounds could visibly be seen healing on their own, showcasing his Chaos Spiritual Physique's terrifying regenerative abilities.After letting go of the last disciple, Li Shen looked at the distant horizon to see Mo Zhe's figure escaping.Li Shen didn’t bother chasing after him since he didn’t know if he would stumble upon an ambush.What he should do now was find the others.“They should have entered the dimension already, hopefully, Tai had managed to keep everyone together.”After saying this, Li Shen rose further into the air. Then, closing his eyes he tried to focus on his mental connection
While carrying this resentment, Li Shen’s figure was moving so fast that the flee Mo Zhe actually appeared in front of him.“Hm?”Mo Zhe who had slowed down since Li Shen wasn’t chasing after him, turned when he heard the loud whistling noise behind him.His pupils immediately shrank when he saw Li Shen and his speed picked up as he frantically tried to escape faster.However, Li Shen was just too fast. He was barely visible over the horizon when Mo Zhe first saw him, but in only a few seconds he was a few hundred meters away from him!“Damn it! How is he so fast? Is he actually at the late stage of the Core Formation Realm?!”Li Shen's flying speed was at the very least in the Late Core Formation Realm while Mo Zhe was only in the Mid Core Formation Realm.He knew he was too slow to run away from Li Shen.Hit with this reality, Mo Zhe turned and decided to confront Li Shen head-on. Even if he died here he would try and take Li Shen down with him!However, what Mo Zhe saw when he turn
Gu Jin was frowning.It wasn’t a simple frown, it was a frown someone would reserve for when they expected to eat a mouth full of ambrosia but ended up tasting dog shit instead.Currently, Lu Yue was surrounded by disciples of the Profound Sword Sect trying to protect her as they battled the four hundred or so Fire Empire disciples.The battle had been ongoing for some time, and though Gu Jin was angry that Lu Shin wasn’t here, he wasn't that upset after seeing Lu Yue.However, not long after a wild beast showed up with more people and started wantonly slaughtering the disciples of his Fire Empire.Gu Jin’s plans had been completely derailed.Suddenly, a jade slip appeared in front of Gu Jin in a burst of light. Not just Gu Jin, but everyone in the area had a jade slip appear in front of them.“Damn it!”Gu Jin yelled when he saw this.He grabbed the jade slip out of the air and scanned it.It was the Token that showed the number of disciples currently in the Fiery Dimension.The numb
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
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
