Wherever he may go, from now until the end of time, Maru couldn't imagine a life without his family. This was why he was extremely adamant in gaining strength.
To be with them until the last of the night stars fell to darkness.
"I'm afraid not, Maru. The journey will be long and tiring. I won't advise you to bring anyone else with you if ever you choose to journey in those realms.
But what I can promise you is that time will halt on this world, only to restart once more upon your return. Isn't that magical?" the devil spoke in tongues and riddles.
Madame Ais' honeyed words brought the little child into the wondrous expectation
"Indeed you could, Maru. Even if you were the weakest among all Essence Gathering Experts, squashing a full realm below yours is still as easy as stepping on an ant.Though it may lack creativity because you would most likely only apply brute force to vanquish your enemies, still..." Madame Ais trailed her voice and discontinued.The boy didn't need that abundant spoon feeding after all. She could see that he got the point and that was already enough for her."I want to become an immortal, Madame Ais!" Maru decided. If he could stand to the highest of heavens, then he could easily safeguard his family.Mastering techniques wou
"........................." and Maru nodded in understanding."Good. Then I shall start now." Madame Ais opened her palm and an ominous black stone shone in magnificence at the center of both woman and child.It pulsed with mighty waves of power and the world essence that radiated from it were infinitely dark. Wisps of shadows abounded and it blessed the area in a luminescent mystery.Not only that but it also contained incalculable soul nourishment within that small palm sized sphere of power.This diminutive object was called a chaos stone. It was borne only on the birth of a new universe.
A Soul Creation Realm has a lifespan of 250,000 years."BANG!"Ascendant Realm 1st StageLifespan of 500,000 years."BANG!"Human Realm 1st StageLifespan of 1 million years."BANG!"Immortal Realm 1st StageNever withers, will never die of old age but can still b
While much of the other wiser gods and immortals preferred to remain here to secure their small piece of heaven on these earths."But you are different from them all, Maru. Your path has already been decided for you." Madame Ais thought wickedly before following the footsteps of the little boy.Maru went out and felt the gentle rays of the sun unto his skin. It brought a smile to his face as he was refreshed by the authenticity of the entire experience.Far from what he was used to for untold time while he was still cultivating in hell and its devices.“What’s wrong with Raymond?” Maru asked after he traverse
“What about these chairs and tables, Maru?” Fatty Feng asked. He was afraid that somebody might steal it as the properties looked pretty expensive.“Leave it there. Those will be gone by sunrise.” Maru muttered softly and he slept right after.“What are you all looking at?” Tiny Slim addressed the envious gazes of his classmates.“I think they are stunned at your magnificent character, boss.” Fatty Feng smiled on the side.“Boss, can I join your group?” one student said towards Fatty Feng.&ldqu
“If that is what you want, Maru. Then I shall gladly oblige.” Madame Ais reappeared behind the little child.Upon seeing the tall armored woman, Damian did not utter a word and only observed the imposing woman with vigilant eyes.Since his master knew the woman, then perhaps she was a friend or an existence akin to himself. That of a sworn servant.“Yes, it is. Come.” Maru led the duo into the mansion. Uwyn should be at that place right now to wait for his return.“KNOCK!”“KNOCK!” gentle taps resounded upo
“What’s happening, mom? Is my brother crying? Waaaaaaaaaaaa!” and Uwyn joined in on the family hug and also cried her best to flood the scene with more of these unhappy sentiments.“Everything is okay now. Maru just misses us, Uwyn. Don’t cry anymore, okay?” Olivia tried very hard to control her feelings but it was a hopeless case.When two of her children were showing her these sad weeping faces, how could a mother like her respond anything but share their pain. So Olivia cried and hugged her children even more tightly.“Our dinner awaits us. Let’s eat first and then we’ll play a game or we can just talk. I also missed you both and it would be a
The room’s temperature rose and it would have melted together with the whole world if not for the extreme self-control that Maru possessed.Bloodlust flowed from his eyes and all he ever thought of right now was how to vanquish this despicable woman.But upon careful thought, he stopped his raging lunacy at a fortunate time and only his booming laughter serenaded the entire chamber thereafter.“HAHAHA!” Maru laughed wantonly.“I don’t think that this is a time for mirth, Maru.” Madame Ais said when she noticed that the boy had noticeably calmed down within mere breaths.
Maru was more than happy to take a break from everything—even from the responsibilities that came with his many wives and his realm-shaking reputation. Escaping into the mortal world for a time was like a breath of fresh air, a rare chance to experience life without the burdens of status and power.As he adjusted to this new identity, Maru sifted through the memories of the young man whose life he now occupied. The memories painted a bleak picture: this young Maru was impoverished, scraping by from a family with little to their name. For someone accustomed to wealth, influence, and resources beyond mortal comprehension, this was, to put it mildly, inconvenient."I’ll have to change that," Maru muttered to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He strolled down to the nearest gas station, where he purchased a lottery ticket with casual confidence. With a bit of energy concealed within a playful flick of his finger, he ensured that fate would work in his favor. A week la
A trillion years had passed, and Maru had truly ascended to the highest plane of existence, becoming the undisputed master of the multiverse. He had mastered every grand dao, and his name was whispered across countless realms as the supreme ruler.The laws of reality bent to his will, and even the flow of time itself was nothing more than a tool for his amusement.The past, present, and future were his to shape as he saw fit, and the myriad daos—once elusive and untamable forces—had become his loyal servants, bowing at his feet.No corner of existence was beyond his reach. Universes rose and fell on his whims, stars burned bright and were extinguished with a mere thought, and entire civilizations either flourished or crumbled at his command.Maru's power was absolute, his authority unmatched, and yet, after countless eons of this existence, he found himself feeling something he had not anticipated—boredom.He had seen it all, lived through it all. Every challenge the multiverse had to
In a mystical world within the body of an immortal, a great ruckus was happening. “Master! It has appeared once again!” A good disciple knelt on the floor. He prostrated before his teacher which had given him his everything in short. This very man had saved him in the past and until this day, he has not forgotten his pledge of allegiance and service to this person. The disciple was content in doing so. He had no ambitions for himself, only to the happiness of his benefactor. To call him a slave was much more fitting than a disciple in this day and age. “Gather all your brothers and sisters. We shall go at once.” An aged man answered with a serious face on him. He was old and full of wrinkles. His age almost to the limit of what could be achieved with his cultivation base. Nevertheless, the majesty of his stance was a perfect picture of what a true powerhouse truly was. This man had been alive on this world for more than one thousand years already. It was both an accomplishment i
“Speak.” An old dying voice replied. His body seemed ancient alongside the timeless aspect of his voice. Perhaps the only consolation that could be found on him today was the quality of his cultivators robes. At first glance alone, anybody that has eyes could easily determine that it was not made of poor materials at all. This old man was of course the master of Dragon Conqueror Pavilion. “There was a group of people looking a specific cultivation manual earlier, master. They wanted Soul Birth Realm training scrolls.” Kong Jin reported. She knew that the implications of her words would not be lost on his smart master. And indeed it was not. “DING!” The old man opened his eyes and one could notice the blazing fire in them. The atmosphere in the room immediately surged up and this has made the beautiful Kong Jin tremble in place. But reaction was not out of fear but surprisingly because of her extreme excitement. Thousands of sexy ladies like her dreamed to hug the thick thigh of t
The team arrived into the city of Aren way more than just 3 days. In fact, it took them almost 1 week before they saw the mighty gates that protected the place.But after the initial excitement, Maru and company was not anymore harassed by anyone on the road.It appeared like news has traveled fast about the demise and fall of one very strong Core Origin Realm at the hands of our very own protagonist.The weary adventurers got inside the city of Aren and enjoyed a well deserved rest thereafter.Ye Lim went to sell the extra items they got off the loot while Maru was already busy thinking ahead. He was not one to waste his time at all.“I want you to gather information about a cultivation technique for Soul Birth Realm Culti
“HAHAHA! I’ve been alive on this world for hundreds of years and had seen smart tongues like you in legion. I will enjoy watching you suffer in pain, dumb young maggot.”The newly arrived Core Origin Realm Cultivator promised darkly unto our very own protagonist. Maru took this threat in silence.He would of course not waste his breath upon somebody who did not heed his advice from the start.“Kill every single one of them but leave the foolish young master alive.” The Core Origin Realm Cultivator instructed his minions.“Hehehe. You can count on us, master!” The band of robbers replied in chorus.“DING!” Alas, a sudden change came before anyone could move from this point forward.“AHHHHHHHHHH!” A pillar
“Please take care on your way, Hong’er.” Ye Hanya said unto her son.Even though she knew that Ye Hong was already more than capable enough of taking care of himself but it was always a mother’s job to worry for her young one.She really could not be blamed for that at all.“I will, mom.” Maru smiled at his mother. He then looked at Ye Jia and nodded at his old man.The latter was a lot more confident and composed than Ye Hanya and it could be seen from this act alone on how Ye Jia became the Patriarch of Ye after all these years.His strong character was only the least of his myriad qualities. “Let’s go, Yin Lan.” Maru called and before long, a beautiful woman p
Maru arrived at the Ye domains. At once glance, he could see that there were more people inside it than when he left. It was obvious that there were more homeless and poor citizens of Whitecrest who chose to seek refuge in the clan. His parents Ye Jia and Ye Hanya knew of their son’s heart and thus gladly accepted to feed and give shelter to these people. From the initial 1,000 hapless souls, the count had already five fold at this time. Fortunately for all, the expense of having these families was too insignificant for the rich Ye family. But if these 5,000 men, women, and children were to be cultivated then that was a whole nother matter entirely. Resources like spirit stones were extremely limited even for a big clan like the Ye. “It’s been two long years, huh?” Maru smiled and began walking in slow steps towards the large
A year passed in no time. Maru remained seated in the void and continued to refine the extreme power of the sun.He needed no more physical supplements like food in order to survive since what sustained a Soul Birth Realm Expert was the natural panacea for the soul.These priceless treasures may be found in divine lands or they could be artificially nurtured through the creation of magical pills.Thus, the times when our restless traveler would devour several tables of food was already long gone into the past.“BANG!”999,997th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”999,998th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”
