"What do you want?" a sound reached the ears of all seven attendants, an hour past midnight.
A cold voice, merciless and despotic. It originated from behind them and they didn't even know how they got blindsided by the newcomer.
The visitors who came, slowly turned to face their most hated enemy. And when they did, every single one of them felt blood rise towards their eyes.
When they gazed at the owner of the voice, they thought
“This was the killer of their kin!”
The one who had slain someone precious to them. And did it like crushing incon
"AMITABHA!" Reilly laid in passive defense for ten breaths and dodged more than a trillion projectiles within that short amount of time.His figure would flash here and there yet he was not seen to make any motions but just stand there with his hands crossed between his breasts. But it was at this moment that he chose to take the offensive.From a static posture to a kicking movement and back to his initial form once more. This has happened so quick that time even seemed to freeze along its delivery.And with it, arrived a gigantic shadow of one foot that seemed to contain the heaven and the earth with its boundless size alone.
Maru only wanted this farce to end and live a fulfilling life with his family for the rest of eternity."Is there no other way?" the elven woman asked again."Of course there is. If one wants to do something, even a thousand paths is not impossible to conjure.But unfortunately, this one has only two ways you could go." Maru paused for effect and looked intently at every one of his guests.Some flinched when their vision connected while others hastily disconnected after merely half a breath. Most of them feared to get the ire of this blood thirsty individual.
Or it might have been because of your cultivation technique where you’re always searching and delving deep inside your soul to ask questions about morality and the balance of the world, of good and evil,or maybe some other thing that may have escaped my perception.But what I wanted to say is that…” Maru halted his speech and gazed at the heart of the silent old monk.After a few breaths, he then watched the quiet audience that scattered around from their immediate vicinity.“What are they so afraid of? I don’t look like a monster, do i?” Maru conjured a question or two in his mind before
After all, the only other soul who witnessed that long period of life and death was now gone.One cannot appreciate the light while living in a shadow less existence. Only then in darkness shall one truly manifest and wish a will for the advent of another ray of light."Bring him home." said Maru before he vanished from his spot.And in his wake was the raving lunatic that disturbed the silence of the night with his continued struggles with the unseen demons that plagued his mind and soul at this very moment."Take him back to the Temple, Adriel." the elfin woman, Tierra instructed at one of her peers. She recognized that no o
The man has no sickness called cancer and the woman did not truly spend the rest of her life in search of a ghost.""Are you telling the truth, brother? Or is this one of your white lies also? Like what you forced me to tell mom..." and it was at this time that Uwyn finally cried. Maru was speechless for a time.In his soul, he could pause an eternity to deal with the words he was given and that was exactly what he did. So upon the next breath, Maru lent an appropriate reaction to the guilt that he carried inside."I would never do that to you, Uwyn." Maru closed the distance between him and his sister and gently took Uwyn into his arms.
"I will do as you ordered, master! Please excuse this lowly mortal's stupidity!" the old man replied in as much a loud voice as he can. Even this slight effort has taken much from him.His throat hurt and he even found it hard to breath from the hasty misuse of his damaged faculties."When was the last time i talked to someone but myself? I can't remember any longer." These were the old man's thoughts as he drank from the water served for the beasts.As he worked, stayed and slept here for years already, the old man was used to the isolation branded to one like him. A no name captured slave.And with these dark musings, the ol
"Do you think father would let me ride his back, brother?" and she turned 180 degrees in an instant.For a happy carefree girl to one filled with intense longing and apparent insecurity."I don't know, Uwyn. But we could ask him and try. And if he doesn't want to do that, i'm still here. I can be your horsey forever." Maru replied. He understood his sister well.This time and age was the rarest among it all. When children can still open up about anything and everything they feel. But Maru was fully aware that this would not remain the same as time passes by.So he could only cherish this and not let a moment go by without taki
Those two magical beasts which were now lying comfortably on the shoulders of this pair of kids possessed the breath of an immortal.A being that they could neither offend nor battle. Even if their patron god would come and defend them for a time.And even if he would be successful in warding off the potential enemies but that would only result in one likely outcome. The destruction of the entire city of Almond.Joku could see that the children before him didn't have any cultivation attainments yet. But he would be a fool to believe what only his senses could perceive.Two children with two immortal magical beasts would probab
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!”
