1 PROLOGUE

What you going to do when you cannot run anymore? Your opponents are stronger than you either. Wei Tian Xian is already injured really bad and now surrounded. Here in the mountain of Black Pyre he going to meet his end. Standing at the top of the mountain wearing complete black attire his presence meld completely with the mountain. His translucent black cape flying along his messy black hair, giving him a crazy yet enigmatic look.

There is only nine people chasing him, but this nine are not regular people. As Wei Tian Xian look forward seven people fly below him, this are all supreme overlords or great sect leaders. One person right across him are the strangest sage of land. The last looking down on him from above is probably the most powerful man beneath heaven.

"Archaic Meng, I heard you already wash your hand from any worldly matter. Why now you singled me out and looking for a fight with me" Wei Tian Xian may not have any hope, but he won't surrendered just then. A devilish grin showed on his face, while emanating a black aura so big it covers the mountain. Black Pyre Mountain is huge, but his aura making it look even bigger than it already is. If these people surrounding him is not having such a high cultivation base, they will all die just being so close to that deadly aura.

"Wei Tian Xian, your evil deeds are echoed throughout all Crystal Sky. Even in my deep meditation I still able to hear it. How can I refuse the plead of many you have wronged? Today I am here to purge the evil that rest within you." The one called Archaic Meng is none other than the person flying above everyone else. His face looks old with, but his eyes looks ancient. It is so deep that you can feel enormous wisdom just by staring into it.

"You pretend to be a Holy Saint, but act like a coward. Using many to bully the few, I Wei Tian Xian can accept if I lose one on one battle. However today even if I have to die, I will not be going to let any of you goes without consequences." Deep down he knows this provocation means nothing. Everyone here already thirsts for blood, his blood. No words he spoke they will listen.

"Stop your blabbering, you are an evil incarnate it is our duty to annihilate you. This is not a duel, but purging the evil. Even if archaic Meng want to do it himself, we can't just sit idly and watch him." This time one of the overlords has spoken. He is the largest of the lot with red beard and hair covering his face. As he spoke, his Warhammer swing to ground. The ground shaking as it about to break, creating a great fissure towards Wei Xian Tian.

Wei Xian Tian look cool as ever and ignored this fissure. His eyes still fixed towards archaic Meng, his most dangerous adversary. He sighs "I thought I can recuperate a bit, but this people are surely lack of patience." Of course, that thinking never leave head

"Archaic Meng, I challenge you." With a shout he flies towards his opponent and release the sabre in his right hand. As soon as the sabre leave his hand it enlarged into a gigantic size, it looks like the sabre has been constrained all this time. Not only its size that has been expanded, it also builds up an enormous energy and shot directly towards archaic Meng.

Devilish aura fills the sky, Archaic Meng shook his head at this sight. "Even the aura revolving it so sinister, how can the heaven ever let this kind of technique exist in the first place. Everyone contains this area! His deadly aura must not leave this place, else many innocent will die. Archaic Zhou shield me!" He however not has a lot of time to give detailed order. Once everyone moved he already make his incantation.

"Borrowing power from the heaven, let me punish this ominous being" As he spoke the sky rage and trembling. It no longer looks like a sky, but more like a weird device meant to kill. The blue sky is the body, the clouds is its limbs and the lightning its weapon.

The man right below him, which called archaic Zhou smiled and produce a "bagua" shield to block the black saber earlier. The hexagram symbol is not still, its energy seemed to flow spiraling into the inside. "Still and you may break. Only an everchanging flow can be eternal." The huge blade sucked by that shield and flow with it.

Wei Tian Xian himself already giving up to control his saber further. The fissure he can ignore, but the raging heaven above him must to be dealt "Leave the heaven out of our fight old geezer. How about I shut it out for you." With an angry shout his cloak moves towards the sky and expanding, so large that it covers all the sky above giving making no light enter the land, despite of its translucent material. That cape is not made by cloth but instead some otherworldly material. Everyone can see it is black in color but it has no actual shape or size.

As darkness reign the land, the cultivator's aura shines even brighter. Archaic Meng shine brighter than sun, no normal human can see directly at him. Even to those around they just can see a white light covering him instead of the person himself. Wei Tian Xian aura is pitch black, but emanate some dark light. A type of light you can't see anywhere else, captivating yet reek with death. All the other cultivators also maintaining their own aura and light. However, except those two, only the golden light of archaic Zhou takes their attention. Others are dim compared to them.

The other six is more like a spectator below. Except for Redbeard who attack with a fissure earlier, all the others only cast some incantation to contain the force created in this space, otherwise it will be strong enough to wiped out the entire area around. "Battle between the archaic, I really never thought I will be able to witness one in my lifetime. This is not an event that happen once in a thousand years." The one speaking is one of the oldest in the group, his white hair in contrast with his violet robe. As his hair and beard so long, it covers half of his robe.

Wei Tian Xian cape is used to protect him, however he not going to only defense. The mountain behind him has changed shape into dragon that flew towards Archaic Meng. The black dragon is bigger than the mountain itself, after it full emerged the ground that once a mountain has turned into a huge hole. The Dark Pyre consist of special stone that is not easy to break and Wei Tian Xian aura make dragon even more devastating. This location picked by him with a reason.

Archaic Meng draw a sword made of crystal, it is in ordinary shape size "Size mean nothing. Building a pure Qi, nothing can stand in its way. Destroy everything!" With his command the swords fly to the dragon. Once it touches it every might the dragon possess immediately crumbling, it destroyed pieces by pieces like it was made from clay.

Few of the seven others start to throw their spells once they saw the dragon. Now they can feel at ease as Archaic Meng power is truly remarkable. The relax time is only for moment though, as ground once again shaking. It turns immediately into a wave, a huge wave thousands of thousands meter wave wipe across the land. The wave made by the land itself mixed with dust of the crumbling Black Pyre. The dust is sharp and the wave is huge, fortunately these overlords and sect leaders are prepared. However, they have to use everything they got to protect themselves. Therefore, their containment over the area has to broke.

Archaic Zhou goes without telling, he covers the containment himself. This what Wei Tian Xian planned for from the beginning. Without the "Bagua" shield and while Archaic Meng divert his attention, it is time for the true attack to come. A huge devilish creature emerge from inside the dragon remains. This is totally unexpected, a huge dragon summoned just to carry a demon inside.

The demon struck with ferocity making Archaic Meng startled for the first time in years. He takes an old gourd and as he opened it a strong aroma spread to the air. A mist created covered him and the demon altogether. The mist and its aroma have a scary effect, one that can be seen is its distorted time. The demon movement is getting far slower and its start decaying. Slower the movement and speed up the aging process, distorting the time itself. Time is not meant to be touch, anything that can change the course of time is certainly a legendary artifact.

Even being slowed down, the demon still actually moves pretty fast. However, it gave time for Archaic Meng to take his crystal sword and strike at it, right into its heart. Dragon contain a demon, and the demon contain Wei Tian Xian himself. The long sword at his left hand before now wielded with both his arms "Creating a pure qi, annihilate everything" The sword in his hand shone with dark light and clash with the crystal sword.

"A pure dark qi, it is not possible. Do I see wrong, is this guy not consumed by the darkness?" Archaic Meng is befuddled. He supposed to be the wisest ever walk this land, but this he never heard of. Anyone practicing dark arts will be consumed by it, therefore impossible for them to build a pure qi. Only a pure soul can build one. A dark pure qi, all of his life this is the first time he encounters one.

Two terrifying force has clashed, dark versus light. Others can only see, they are to captivated to interfere. This is one of lifetime opportunity, there is no other way this scenery will unfold in front of them.

Wei Tian Xian however has injured before and this is the first time he actually unleashes his pure qi to fight. If he can find another way, he will do it. His will is strong but his body is at its limit. The pressure is too much, he throws a mouthful of blood. The crystal sword break through and goes right to him. Refusing to die he pull one last trick out of his sleeve. A silver mirror blocks the sword, his only artifact that is not dark. The crystal sword might stop but the pure qi inside is not, its shadow carries through into his heart.

Struck by such a force Wei Tian Xian thrown away, the remains of demons and dragon behind him can't stop his body. All of it collapsing along with him. His body fall into the ground creating huge earthquake, even Archaic Zhou can't contain completely.

From within the pile of rocks that covered Wei Tian Xian a voice still rang out "Archaic Meng today I might lose, but even if I die my legacy will remain. You may be immortal but my heir will still take your life. As he is going to carry my will with him, so you will taste the true power of darkness."

"Audacious, you should just die already." Angered by this a man strike down, in his forehead a sun shape mark lit. His body soon turn into sun itself strike into the rock mound. The rock turn into a demon shape claw to meet him. As it clashed both are forced to back down.

Archaic Meng not letting this fight goes any longer. After Wei Tian Xian struck down, the sky opens once again. Hence the path to heaven are tread once more, the sky raging again. A gentle light falls down to where Wei Tian Xian body fall. The light is gentle but once it touches the ground anything on it obliterated. A Heaven's Wrath doesn't need any sound or any explosion, just complete destruction.

"Is he finally die" The only woman there asked. She looks mature, but no wrinkles seen in her face. Her skin is smooth and bright like a pearl. "His life surely has end, but his will still remain. Wei Tian Xian, evil as he is. There is no doubt about his talent, a true sovereign among humans." Archaic Meng seems at lost. His most powerful adversary has defeated, but no satisfaction come from it.

"Anyway, who is this heir, he talking about. He has some followers, but I never heard of any heir. Is he have a child with that girl" A pale man spoke, his skin all pale like a sheet of paper. This remark has angered one of his comrades. The man has royal appearances, he looks so dignified and cold all this time. Except this once "Don't talk nonsense. There is no way..."

"Stop it. All of you" Archaic Meng stop their quarrel. "It doesn't matter if he has a child or not. His karma is his own, this girl must not be harmed. If he has a child he must only be a baby and innocent. I will not tolerate anyone that going to harm them. His heir is those carrying his will, only if you saw them with it you may strike." With Archaic Meng give the order, no one dare to speak anymore.

After Archaic Meng and Zhou leaving the scene, seven others are still stay where they are. They look at the crack that once was a huge Black Pyre. The fight before still playing in their minds, scene by scene. Archaic Meng is famous for his wisdom and power, but Wei Tian Xian. Nobody thought he can fight to such extent against Archaic Meng. How can someone still so young yet so powerful. His deeds evil or not has spread towards the Crystal Sky. Such fame and power they can only dream on.

Archaic Meng words echoed in their head, a sovereign among humans. They may leave longer, but can they have such legacy to passed when they die. Will you trade your long life and your morality for it? This will remain a question they can't answer.

Whether they like or not, Wei Tian Xian has become a legend.
