“WOW! Is that your magical beast, Maru?” Tiny Slim was dumbfounded at what he saw. The draconic creature may not have been at the level of the structures in the vicinity but its diminutive size did not diminish its ferocity one bit. It would even appear that a wave of its sharp claws could destroy these daunted buildings to smithereens. Like a piece of paper in the embrace of flames.
“It’s my pet. His name is Ash. This is my new friend Tiny Slim. Please take care of him, Ash.” Maru introduced the two.
“SNORT!” Ash replied with distinct wheezes that seem to indicate its displeasure.
“HAHAHA! You sure are a picky one, Ash! Don’t worry because when
The division disappeared and the boys returned to the outside surface once more.“BANG! BANG! BANG!” The skies shook at the mighty energies that were used by the fighters who stood upon its firmaments. A lone winged creature battled a whole battalion of armed and armored soldiers in the heavens. They were all wearing a set of uniformed armaments and moved in a fashion that simply defied imagination. Their numbers were many but everyone’s motions complimented the formation perfectly. It seemed like they were dancing in the heavens in a well-choreographed play for the audience below to witness.Destruction raged above and wayward magic that fell beneath the battle but it was negated by the sect wide defensive formation that safeguarded the properties of th
“Very well. Recall the soldiers.” Simon commanded and waited for the seizure of the booming collision of power in both land and the air. The Vestal Virgin Sect has stood up for thousands of years and it was battle hardened in the tribulations that tested its mettle in the bygone millennia. A lone cultivator, although strong, can be chipped away with the unity of many. These two battalions alone could easily trap a Soul Creation Realm Expert each.The blatant advantage of soul attacks would be countered by his thousand men strong in formation as their quantity of souls bridged the gap of a whole realm difference in cultivation.“It is done, commander.” a sound conveyed in Simon’s ears after 15 breaths.
“Let him finish, Yara.” Sect Master Caiden admonished his daughter. He felt guilty because he may have spoiled Yara too much. His focus stayed in raising his cultivation in order to protect himself and the ones he loved. But in return, he got estranged with his only kin. Maybe it’s time to meet with other women again. Caiden sighed as he fondly recalled of his dearly departed wife. His instincts told him to spread his seeds right now because of the impending doom he sensed.This was really getting out of hand, Caiden took a deep breath after his gaze paused a moment too long on the scantily clad dressed woman before him.“Hmmmp! Why do you keep stupid people around, father?” Yara retorted. She loved his father and missed him so much. The year
“Please call me Caiden, Supreme Elder. This is a surprise! I don’t believe that you’ve met my daughter. Yara, come here!” Caiden called.“I’m pleased to finally see you, Supreme Elder. I heard much of you from my father.” Yara respectfully greeted the elderly woman.“What a beautiful girl. I hope it was all good things, my dear.” Chayene replied with a sunny mien in this turbid evening. She looked like a kind grandmother who came for a visit from a faraway land. Her smile was gentle and free, similar to someone who you could share your secrets with.“It was indeed, Supreme Elder. He has nothing to say but praise about you.” Yara humor
“You leave me no choice, old Lady.” Caiden replied and smiled fiercely. The slumbering spirit that had long dozed off from its adventures resurfaced once more and inflamed the blood in his veins. He looked at his opponent and deduced that he might have been a million years younger than she was, judging from the accomplishments she did in the past. But that was a hopeful approximation, Supreme Elder Chayene may have been older than what was recorded.For it was easy as lifting a finger to change what was written on paper, especially for one who held her high station within the sect. But even then, they perfectly mirrored one another. They were both weathered and hoary. After the limit of a million years of natural life for those who reached the Human Realm, only the precious longevity pills and priceless magical elixirs bought them t
“What’s going on, father?” Yara did not understand what the Blind Goddess meant with her words.“Nothing, Yara.” Sect Master Caiden grew silent for a moment and looked at his beautiful daughter.“Have I told you before that you look exactly like your mother?” he added as his eyes held much more unspoken words than what he had just uttered.“HAHAHA! Of course, you monkey. Many times! I’d even lost count of…” Yara replied but paused a beat after she noticed the solemn expression on her father’s face.“What is it, father?” she whispered. Yara got
“HAK! HAK! HAK!” Caiden coughed his lungs out as he felt his body break into a pulpy mess. He sat up and his body visibly healed with each second that ticked by. It took him almost a minute before his wounds all closed up and after that, he rose from the instant grave he was given.“What do you want from me?” was the question he wanted to ask but preferred to stay silent this time. Caiden could heal but he was not numb to the pain. His body felt like a hastily created puzzle. It creaked and burned from the unnatural healing process. He donned a new robe and sat on a lotus position as he obliged the Blind Goddess. Resistance was already futile as the game ended before it even began. His divine sense soared and spectated in the battle from afar.* *
“SUPREME ELDER!”“HAHAHAHAHA!”“FOOLS!”“YOU’VE BEEN DUPED!” The spectators who followed the fight all had mixed feelings. Most were surprised but a chosen few laughed their hearts out at the fate of these suckers.“I’m sorry for the words I spoke earlier, Supreme Elder. I did not know who I was speaking to.” Master Simon hastily apologized for his misdeeds. Dying against an enemy was honorable but to get flattened into a pie by an ally would see their name listed on the annals of history as a laughingstock for ages to come.
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!”
