3 Rebirth

The Legendary Explosion Ball is fiercely spinning fast on his hand like a ticking bomb, Luo Cheng smiled widely seeing the black ball spinning faster and fiercer. "Yes! this is what you all get for following me till this day!" screamed Luo Cheng fanatically, while coughing out blood, dyeing his white teeth red. Everyone's expressions around Luo Cheng is gloomy and dispirited especially Luo Heng and Luo Qiao, they never thought he would possess such a powerful treasure. The golden text around the black ball has been completely covered in Luo Cheng's blood. Loud and powerful shockwaves and violent pressure created by wind smashing each other by force around the ball. The black ball started beaming with pure golden color around it, the aura became thicker and stronger for each second passed, the pressure became extremely hard to handle for Luo Cheng and immediately released the ball on the ground. "What the hell is wrong with this ball? It didn't activate properly as it should!" thought Luo Cheng. The army became confused about the situation, and dazed at the ball. "The legendary ball is completely burnt!" exclaimed one of the soldiers, breaking the silence. Whole army came back to their senses and became motivated again, roaring in the sky as if victory is in their hands. Luo Heng and Luo Qiao looked at Luo Cheng in disdain saying "Hmph, trying to scare us with a fake ball? Of course he wouldn't have the one and only legendary ball!", killing intent rose again from both of them ready to kill Luo Cheng, commanding the army to make a move on Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng knotted his eyebrows equally confused as the army, "it wasn't supposed to be like this!". All his painstaking hard work and efforts wasted, only to get hold of this treasure and end all of his enemies in one single blast, this was his master plan which took years to arrange and execute.

"Hm? What's this?" thought Luo Cheng when he felt something crawling on his body. It was the golden carvings from the black ball!

The golden carving beamed with life but slowly faded away and brought a crimson red colour to it. Luo Cheng's veins started popping out, his heart beating fast and strong like a machine, it felt just like when Luo Cheng held the ball and activated it the first time, but instead this time he couldn't drop it on the ground. Blood started to flow much faster from his eyes, right arm and mouth as well new injuries in his ears and nose spurting out blood, crackling sound could be heard from his bones. The force and pressure from the red ancient carvings on his skin is too strong for his current weak and fragile old body.

The worst part was that the pressure kept rising!

Luo Heng and Luo Qiao looked at each other with a evil smile, "We have a opening chance now to kill Luo Cheng while he is not concentrating in the battle!" said Luo Qiao in a vicious tone, Luo Heng nodded and squinted his eyes when he looked at Luo Cheng suffering from the unknown carvings formed on his body.

They both dashed quickly towards Luo Cheng with their swords up high, ready to cut him in half. But half-way through their slash, the bloody red carvings started beaming demonic aura around him, defending his body from the blade thrusts. Luo Cheng's body is covered in thick blood, with a swift soundless flash, everything went white, penetrating everybody's eyes in the sudden lightning fast flash other than the blind Luo Cheng. After the light passed by, all the screaming and shouting stopped, nothing but endless silence and pitch black could be heard and seen. Some seconds afterwards a weak sound could be heard and gradually a circle of light could be seen far away, like a tunnel. "Where am I, and how is my eyesight repaired?" thought Luo Cheng. Whatever it was, Luo Cheng started to swiftly go to the light through the tunnel. He wanted to see brightness badly, as if he haven't seen it for years.

The closer he came to the light, the noisier it became. When he finally reached the destination he saw a pair of hands reaching him and pulling him out of the darkness.

*Plop~* "Waaa! Waa!". "Aww, so cute. It's a healthy boy, m'lady" said a old servant, holding a baby on her arms. "What will his name be miss Huifeng?" asked the servant with shiny eyes, giving the baby to the beautiful lady's arms on the bed. "His name will be Cheng, Luo Cheng." replied the young girl with a delighted smile.
