Anthony felt alarmed as he watched Ryan who was quickly gathering spirituality. Annabelle noticed what was happening, and quickly grabbed the little boy, rushing to hide in a corner.

“Tie him down, cage him before he fully awakens. Use the holy beads to wash away the resentment and bind all powers of darkness. Then wear the supression bracelet on him to seal off any abilities he might have.” The system shouted, making two items appear before Anthony. A series of information and incantations flowed into his mind as he grabbed the items from mid air.

“Ite al est, eks kanehem indaba indu siccu, yate in excalibur omvra sentre in et lacata.” Anthony whispered, his eyes turning to a sea green color as he caught Ryan's hand. He forced the bracelet to Ryan's wrist. But to his greatest surprise, Ryan turned to attack him. He quickly disappeared, and reappeared behind Ryan, who simultaneously turned and pushed his palm forward, while bending sideways.

    “Almost four hours gone, and we have not even started the preparation of the nuclear weapons.” Anthony whispered anxiously, running around the lab to clean it up.“Calm down buddy, everything will be alright.” Sean whispered, giving Anthony a reassuring squeeze. Sean wore the woman's clothes for her as she was simply too weak to move around. Anthony soon packed up everything in the lab, save for the table the woman was lying on. He had long sterilized the casket and sent it to his special storage space.He entered the bathroom and sterilized his lab coat and other protective gears, before going on to scan his body to ensure he didn't contact anything while trying to treat the victims. Afterwards, he thoroughly washed the bathroom and had his bathe, before making his way out. Sean had already pushed the table out to the common area where others were staying.

    “It's nothing much. She directed me to give you guys this food baskets for the people upstairs.” She whispered with a smile.Sean and Anthony simultaneously hissed.“What's wrong? If you don't want to take it up, I will. I'm so sorry.” She whispered, bowing her head.Jasmine hurried towards the stairs to take up the food basket, and Sean took it from her.“We never said we won't take it up. The way you ran to us made us think something bad had happened, not knowing you just wanted to deliver the food basket. Just go back.” Sean said, while she pouted in remorse.“I'm so sorry.” She whispered, and bowed to them once more, before limping away.Anthony sighed and tapped Sean.“Let's go, there's no time to waste.” He whispered and ran upstairs with Sean following behind him.They arrived upstairs and met Lynda shooting down monsters, while Kaiser was bent over a golden board, trying to set up something.Lynda suddenly froze and turned around.

    “That was the piece of disaster I told you hit earth, which was going to hibernate below the seas.” The system said in excitement, making Anthony remember the mission notification he received while they were shopping for supplies. He was meant to head there after this current mission, but it turned out that Kaiser had already picked it up.“This is from the Southern Jade seas, right?” Anthony said, making Kaiser look at him in surprise.“Definitely, how did you know about it? Have you seen it before?” Kaiser asked, looking at Anthony in excitement. “No, but I received information about it. I was going to retrieve it after we are done here. But you beat me to it.” Anthony said with a wry smile.“It's nothing special, nor is it a treasure. This item serves only one purpose, and that's destruction. You can have it if you want. But after my research, it's from the outer cosmos and descended to earth to hibernate. The natural laws protecting earth didn't let it manifest, so it sank to the

    “Bro, I'm afraid, there's no other option. All we have to do is scan its interiors and see what it looks like. Run a few tests, and know how to handle it. Then we can use it for our own end.” Kaiser whispered, patting Anthony's arm.“Do you even know what is inside that blue egg? Watch the shells properly, once in a while, it blazes the fire streak. In there is a powerful fire phoenix from the outer galaxies. It is way more powerful than the extinct ones killed by sorcerers in the inner galaxies aeons ago. A normal baby phoenix is enough to destroy earth talk more of an old one like this.” Anthony snapped in irritation.“That's right, but I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't have a solution to keep it in check. I will bound its consciousness to mine to prevent it from misbehaving or going out of control. There's no time and we need to conclude everything Immediately.” Kaiser said impatiently.“Really? You want to bind your consciousness to a powerful fire phoenix, or whatever else hiding

    Sean quickly turned around and began to run downstairs. The people downstairs had already begun to scream and shout as they watched the monsters, trying to break the formation holding the aerial barrier. The rest quickly followed Sean down. Anthony pointed at a spot close to the tent and their space craft appeared. “Everyone get arranged in a neat file, the mother and child should enter first.” Anthony's voice boomed authoritatively, and the young mom quickly rushed forward, dragging her boy and a huge bag along. The boy ran to Anthony and he gave him a quick kiss. “If make it out alive, I will definitely come find you. What's your name?” Anthony whispered breathlessly. “My name is Jake Santibanez.” The boy's tiny voice said, just as his mom dragged him into the open space craft. “Thank you, benefactor. God bless you.” The grateful mother shouted. “Jasmine, enter. Why are you still holding on to Anna? Do you want to die here?” Anthony roared, noticing Jasmine who was stand

    Anthony groaned in pain and turned, noticing that he was lying down in a rocky area. Another groan came beside him and he turned around, seeing Sean beside him. His helmet was still covering his head, and his cloth was covered with mud.Anthony quickly jolted up, and rushed to Sean who was groaning on the rock. He removed Sean's helmet and retrieved a handkerchief from his ring. He began to slowly wipe Sean's face with tears in his eyes; his heart was aching as he watched the little trickle of blood that dripped out of his mouth.“Internal injury?” Anthony whispered and bent down to feel his breath.At that moment, he felt a liquid on his face and raised his hand to wipe it off. He realized that he was still wearing his own protective helmet and removed it.He threw it to the floor and cupped Sean's face.“Sean, brother. How are you feeling? Please wake up, don't scare me.” He whispered, caressing his face.He began to pat his face vigorously in his bid to wake him up, but Sean could

    “Sean, what do you want to do? Look here, you can't pull a crazy stunt because of grief, you might regret it later and end up causing Lynda more pain. What if you do something stupid and she ends up returning afterwards? How is she going to live? You shouldn't consider such nonsense.” Anthony whispered hurriedly, trying to dissuade Sean from his mad thoughts. Sean suddenly chuckled and looked at Anthony. “What's going on in that mind of yours? Do you think I would commit suicide when my life could be used for a better bargain on a battlefield?” Sean asked, looking at Anthony. “I don't know about that. All I can tell you right now is that I don't like the look in your eyes. Your mind is already made up. If we don't find her, you're determined to use a silly reason to give up your life. It may not be out right suicide, but you might intentionally throw a wild and reckless bait just to die. For enemies you could have used better ways to end, you would want to destroy more of them and

    Anthony's frown deepened, as he listened to the frightening roars alongside the others. “It seems that there are fearsome existences in this mountain, and they just got aroused. They probably sensed the presence of intruders. Could this be Jiang Cheng valley?” Sean muttered, his brows creased deeply as if he was in deep thoughts. Anthony nodded.“That's right, the mysterious compass notified me that we were on the northern peak of the Jiang Cheng valley. There are four mountains whose base formed this valley, and we are currently on the highest one whose name is said to be the azure dragon peak.”“Damn, we are in big trouble. We need to leave as soon as possible.” Sean said, his face turning red with horror. “What's wrong? Why are you looking so flustered over nothing? What about the valley? Do you know the kind of monsters making such terrifying noises filled with intense spiritual energy?” Anthony asked, with a frown on his face. “If this is the azure dragon peak, it means that

    Mo Lan’s pale, sweaty face was the first Aryan saw the moment he regained consciousness. A wide smile broke on his face as Mo Lan hugged him crying. “It's so good to finally see your face, the soul mate that lighted the beacon, guiding me out of darkness. Has the rest left the mystic lands?” Aryan whispered, rubbing his back. “Big brother, we have a lot to say to each other, but we only have two minutes left, let's go.” Anthony shouted, making him notice the other two. Anthony quickly carried up Aryan while Mo Lan grabbed Annabelle, quickly racing to the front porch. They met an open space craft, making them surprised. “Hurry up!” Sean shouted, coming out from the vehicle. “Why are you still here?” Aryan whispered in surprise. Anthony and Mo Lan staying back was no surprise due to their bond. But Kaiser and Sean staying back was a mystery. “How can we leave our brothers to weather storms alone? Lynda is leading the rest away. Ryan, Aria, Jasmine and Angel are in the other vehic

    Leaving Paradise

    “Has Mo Lan come out yet? It has already been a week. We have been asked to leave this place and we only have twelve hours left.” Anthony whispered, watching his watch. All of their luggages and things they consider important which didn't belong exclusively to the mystic lands have been packed up and arranged for take off. However, four people were visibly absent while others were ready to take off. But at least, everyone knew where two of them could be seen. Ryan was rushing his last minute cultivation while trying to condense demi god threshold. While Annabelle was upstairs in her room cultivating as if the urgent messages from the system had no relation to her. “I don't really know what's wrong with Mo Lan. He had disappeared to who knows where ever since last week when Annabelle broke into the demi god realm. Could it be that he got backlash while trying to help her breakthrough?” Sean asked with a frown. “It can't be that. If he was truly wounded, there was no way Annabelle wou

    “Why do you keep avoiding my eyes? Look at me! I need you to pay attention if we're to succeed.” Mo Lan snapped impatiently, making Annabelle jump in fright. She had thought that Mo Lan would stalk away after she gave in to her baser instincts and slapped him. But surprisingly, he endured it and told her to get dressed. He had taken her to the mountain, explaining the principles of law formations and stopping at intervals on places with stronger law activities to cultivate and gain deeper understanding on the principles behind their formations and functions. When they got up the mountain, he had taken her on a hands-on combat training class, but she never seemed to fully concentrate, wondering why he was still helping her. “Fine, sit cross legged, let's start dual cultivation and attempt a breakthrough. But before then, I will set a formation around this mountain to prevent your aura and heavenly manifestations from reflecting when you eventually break through.”“Why are you so sur

    Sneaky

    It was exactly 12 a.m when Mo Lan creeped into Annabelle’s room again and locked the door. He had met Jasmine in the pool while cultivating earlier that evening leading to an unpleasant encounter. He had thought that everyone was still celebrating Ryan and left to cultivate after taking care of Aryan. He had packed the treasure’s milky drops that were collected in the container and replaced it with a new container after stashing away the initial one.Mo Lan had stripped down to his birthday suit and gotten into the pool, only to notice a movement. He teleported to the spot and caught Jasmine trying to crawl away. And all her tearful explanations about how she had been there before him couldn't save her from the tongue lashing he dosed out on her. After such an unpleasant experience, common sense dictates that he takes a bath and sleeps to unwind. But of course, Mo Lan had never been one to follow common sense. He had continued his bone crushing exercises to train, before going on to

    The loud cheers he heard downstairs for dinner made him frown. Why were they cheering so much, even if someone broke through, what was the big deal about it? Weren't they breaking through every other day? Literally, since they arrived, there has been someone breaking through every three days or less. So why was this one special? Or has Anthony reached the god realm? That must be it! ‘Oh no, I forgot to tell him the matter about superior god laws. Breaking through in a lower realm ain't good, the space laws will encumber him the moment we leave here.’ Mo Lan muttered and quickly rushed down to the dining room where the commotion was coming from. Everyone was circling Ryan and Angel was jumping up and down. “Ryan, didn't I tell you to…” He began to say angrily, thinking that Ryan disobeyed him and used the treasures to keep forcing a breakthrough to the saint or demi god realm. “Big brother, big brother.” Ryan whispered in a tearful voice and threw himself into Mo Lan's arms, huggin

    Mo Lan went down on his knees before Annabelle the moment he came into the cultivation room. She was sitting cross legged, with eyes closed, churning the energy she received to incorporate it to her own body. Soon, the timer went off and the spiritual energy beams from the aura gathering formation receded. She opened her eyes and exhaled stale air filled with impurities. “Anna, come and eat. I made your favorite beef and chicken stew with rice. There is also a jug of immortal fruit juice to refresh your body and release more energy.” He whispered with a smile and knelt before her, setting out her meals. She smiled at him, watching him serve her. “Our Mo Lan now cooks dishes that are more tasty than mine. He's all grown up now.” She whispered, shutting her eyes as she savored the dishes. “Don't tempt me now. You won't like the results.” Mo Lan whispered, his voice deep as he watched her lick her lips. “You're the one misunderstanding my actions. Or do you plan to throw around the

    “Ryan, come into the lab once you're done eating. It's time to repair your leg and get you new ones.” Anthony said, making Ryan's chopsticks halt halfway to his mouth. “Are you serious?” He whispered, his heartbeat accelerated at the thought that he could finally regain the use of both feet, instead of drifting around on one. “Of course, will this big brother lie to you? The drafts are ready and I spent all morning getting it ready before I went for the morning exercises. Besides, that treasure Mo Lan spoke about, I went to check it out last night and saw that a milky drop of liquid was forming at a point. So, I placed a collecting container in the space where it was meant to fall into. When I checked this morning, around two drops had dropped into the container. Although it's two drops, the life energy was incredibly thick and has the ability to regenerate body parts. Although I wanted to use it for Aryan, I think yours cannot wait. There are other methods to help Aryan, but thi

    He has gotten sassy

    “How come I have never seen Annabelle today? She's not even in her room. Has anyone seen her?” Anthony asked, walking into the dining room. He had just returned from the miracle pool where he went for his morning meditation and realized that Annabelle was still nowhere to be seen. “Who exactly do you expect to answer that question? If you don't know where she is, who should?” Mo Lan asked harshly, and walked past him carrying a heavy tray laden with various aromatic dishes. Anthony frowned and turned to him, looking surprised. “Mo Lan, you have been getting more and more sassy nowadays. Now you even talk back to me of all people; your big brother.” “Big brother, my ass. Have you seen how tired and sick she looks? Yet she fucking smiles for everyone. She's exhausted but wouldn't take a break till I offered to make the dishes for today. If you're going to turn her into a slave, working even when she's exhausted, then you shouldn't have made her believe that lie you told her. Y

    “Really? How come I never remember calling you mom? The only one I remember is in Seattle waiting for us since we left years ago. I can call you mom though, but that's under special conditions, with you in my arms. Mommy, I want some milk. Is it that kind of mommy?” He asked and bit his lips, enjoying her horrified expression. “Mo Lan, when did you get so rotten and raw? Who the fuck are you? Because the person before me ain't my Mo Lan. Mo. Lan, even if I'm too young to be your mother, you're still my son. You're the son of my heart.” Annabelle whispered, and took a step away from him “Really? Since you want to be my mom so bad, I agree. I also want to know what those step mother and son movies feel like in real life. We should experiment and see what it feels like to love someone you consider your son in a romantic way? Do you want to call me baby too? Mommy, if you're happy with that big dick brother of mine, I will keep my paws off you. But he leaves you lonely, horny, and feeli
