I have revised the fiction and started writing it as a new novel. Those who want to read it can find it by typing Corrupt Cultivation System. This book will not continue. ------- Even the gods could fall. Corrupt One, one of the most powerful gods in the Dimension of the Gods, had the power of hundreds of thousands of believers with the "Blood of Darkness and Fire" Technique he had created. But the jealousy of the other gods united them all against one god, Corrupt One. This battle even caused rifts in the Dimension of the Gods. Realized he could not win, Corrupt One used the power of the believers to resurrect himself in a new body, but this came at a price. He failed to take his memory with himself and was cursed by the shattered part of his soul. Now his soul is condemned to a cruel life. He is still the same person, even if he is unaware of the power he once had. He did manage to bring one thing with him, though. The Corrupt Seal... Will he be able to bring the soul he carries inside him back to its deserved place? Or will the obstacles in his path put him back to the beginning? The story of a young man born from the dead. Only the darkest hearts can become one with demons. --- Author: The protagonist of this story is a young man who has grown up with various psychological problems and traumas. He knows he is weak, but instead of sitting and crying, he uses his intelligence to get what he wants. Of course it will be strong. Even very powerful. But there is a time for everything. The MC receives power not as a gift from heaven, but as a result of his own efforts. He often makes plans that require him to do many things to achieve them. He does not wait for fate to be kind to him. He takes from it what he needs. MC is not a psychopath who kills everyone he sees. However, he is not afraid to kill whoever he needs to in order to guarantee his job. He doesn't care how many deaths are on the way to his goal. At first, the MC may be scared, he may throw tantrums because of what he is going through in his inner world. He is not a robotic MC, completely removed from humanity. He has feelings. He has to deal with psychological problems and fights the stains they leave on his soul. He learns and grows stronger with time. MC is manipulative. The world expands as the story progresses. Not everything is revealed to the reader at the beginning. It is discovered together with the MC. The huge world contains many supernatural creatures, regions, techniques, places and more. If you want to read an MC who is morally corrupt, has psychological problems, cares about his own self-interest, conspires, plans, manipulates people, hides his power when he is strong and reveals it when necessary, you are in the right place. There may be some grammatical mistakes that are not big enough to affect the reading pleasure. It is updated every day.
The golden aura of the man with the sword shone. The cages were illuminated by his light. Ou Yu's crimson aura enveloped her in an eerie hue.
The man suddenly lunged towards Ou Yu, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake. Like a raging river, he was swift and hard to resist.
The red-haired woman was like an angry monster. She swung her sledgehammer swiftly and struck him.
The man met the blow with his sword and flew backwards into the wall of light. But he regained his balance in mid-air and pushed himself towards Ou Yu, pressing his feet against the wall.
"Golden Slash!"
As he swung his sword, a golden arc of energy cut through the earth and shot towards Ou Yu. The red-haired woman crossed her arms in front of her.
"Blood Sacrifice!"
The golden arc of energy sliced through Ou Yu's torso. The injured woman took a few steps back. But her strength was increasing instead of decreasing. It was as if every drop of blood spilled from her added to her strength. The man with the golden aura also landed on the ground.
The woman threw the sledgehammer aside. "Die!"
A layer of blood covering Ou Yu's index and middle finger shot toward the swordsman as the woman thrust her hand forward. It was swift and sharp, like an arrow.
The swordsman dodged it, yet Ou Yu lunged at him angrily, forcing him to retreat. It was not a good idea to compete for strength with a Blood Cultivator who was starting to draw strength from corrupted Qi.
"Golden Slash!"
The golden energy arc appeared once more. Ou Yu jumped when she saw this. She had risen almost five meters. The energy arc passed under her. It had already cut down several of the trees behind her.
The woman in the air raised her arms. Her corrupted Qi was much stronger this time. " Crimson Blow!"
The blood forming around her arms spread like an explosion as Ou Yu fell to the ground and slammed her hands down. The man with the golden aura couldn't dodge it with his speed. Area attacks were the weak point of speed.
The blood that hit him knocked him back. He could only stop by hitting his back against the light wall. He still held his sword tightly. The slaves were watching them.
It was the first time Huan Wei had seen two cultivators fight so closely. He was amazed by the techniques they used. Moreover, Ou Yu had not quickly lost his mind like Huan Manchu.
Meanwhile, Yun Ying, who had stopped the arrows fired at her, raised the hound without touching it and threw it at the archer girl. She jumped and somersaulted to avoid it, and put her fingers to the empty bowstring.
"Divine Piercer!"
She pulled the bowstring and a golden arrow appeared on the bow. Yun Ying hurriedly sent several corpses flying in front of her. Like a beam, the arrow from her bow pierced through all the corpses and lodged in the fat woman's stomach.
Yun Ying recoiled in pain. She held the wound in her abdomen with one hand. Then she quickly took out a pill from her ring. She popped it into her mouth and retreated.
Lan Xifeng was fighting the one with the dagger. They were both fast. The man's footsteps left a trail of light behind him. Lan Xifeng kept swinging his whip, though he was becoming increasingly subdued.
In a sudden movement, she wrapped her whip around his leg and pulled, knocking him to the ground. She prepared to throw a dagger of light at him. But the man quickly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and thrust it at her.
When the talisman ignited, Lan Xifeng threw the dagger of light and hurriedly jumped back. At the same instant, a burst of light sent everything nearby flying backwards. Only the man on the ground was unaffected. All the bandits in the immediate vicinity were thrown back. Even Lan Xifeng was knocked backwards, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The dagger of light was also destroyed.
The hounds were very resilient. They all wore a saddle. Their mouths and claws were covered in the blood of the bandits. Even though they had many wounds, they continued to fight ferociously.
"Let's run!" said one of the slaves. "They can't hold us now."
Huan Wei looked behind him. The forest was in front of them. They would not be able to hold them. Maybe this was a good opportunity to escape?
"No," Huan Wei said. "We cannot escape."
They were in the middle sections of the Northern Bright Forest. It would take perhaps two weeks to get to the outer sections. Getting out of the forest would take longer. Crossing the forest with a group of people, the vast majority of whom had not yet chosen a path, would have been too fanciful a plan. Huan Wei could never trust his fate. So instead of taking a chance, he chose to go ahead with his plan.
"Of course we can!"
A few of the slaves started to run away. They were planning to dive into the forest in the darkness. "They are stupid," Huan Wei thought. "They don't like living."
At that moment, one of the bandits saw them running away and shot them one by one with an arrow. They could not fight back. The other slaves learned a lesson. They decided to listen to Huan Wei.
The man with the dagger got up from the ground. Meanwhile, the archer girl was attacking Ou Yu.
Ou Yu caught the arrow in mid-air and threw it to the ground with a speed that belied her size. This action made both opponents stop for a moment.
The red-haired woman leapt over the wall of light and landed on the battlefield. She ran up to one of the hounds attacking her men and touched it. Suddenly blood began to pour from the hound's mouth and nose. The animal staggered in pain and took a few steps. Then it fell over and died.
The saviors looked at each other. "He has the Soul Technique," said the archer girl. An uneasy look appeared on all their faces.
Huan Wei and the other slaves heard it too. But Huan Wei didn't know what a Soul Technique was.
"They won't win," Lei Lok said. "If Ou Yu has a Soul Technique, they are finished."
"What is a Soul Technique?" Huan Wei asked as he continued to watch the battle.
"Cultivators can awaken a Soul Technique when they break through the second realm and choose a path." Lei Lok explained. "This technique is completely unique and can only be used by its original owner. Soul Techniques can be of immense power. Very few Cultivators can possess a Soul Technique. It requires very high potential and skill to break through to the second realm."
Huan Wei now had a better understanding of the matter. He turned his head and looked at Ou Yu. She still seemed to be in her right mind. It surprised Huan Wei that she could withstand the corrupted Qi for so long. Ou Yu must have been much stronger than he had ever thought.
The youth with the dagger intended to attack Ou Yu, but the whip wrapped around his leg knocked him down again. Lan Xifeng used the whip to pull him back. Meanwhile, another dagger of light took shape in his hand. She had a look on her face as if she was enjoying this battle.
"I need to take a closer look at this." Huan Wei left other slaves and made his way to the battlefield. They called after him, yet he did not listen to them. He used bushes and trees for cover. Eventually he went into a clump of grass. He wanted to take a closer look at everything. He didn't realize the risk he was taking. His eagerness and curiosity for power caused him to abandon clear thinking for a moment.
Yun Ying was coming towards him. But she didn't notice the young man. The woman's wound was almost healed. Cultivators who had chosen the Path of the Divines, the Light Cultivators, responded much more quickly to the healing effects. Their bodies and souls accepted the healing. This was why Yun Ying had recovered enough to return to battle.
The youth with the dagger continued to fight Lan Xifeng, while the other two focused on Ou Yu. Yun Ying had also decided to help Lan Xifeng.
Ou Yu was the strongest among them. Her Soul Technique, Bloody Push, pushed all the blood in the area she touched when she used it. The blood pushed by the pressure ruptured the blood vessels and damaged the organs. It was a technique that killed the opponent from the inside. From the outside, no wounds were visible. If the opponent did not have the powerful Qi enough for resist, the result could be disastrous.
As Huan Wei watched from his hiding place, the man with the sword took out another talisman. This time the paper was blue.
When the talisman ignited and disappeared, a layer of golden energy covered the man's body. It was like a suit of armor that left no gaps. Ou Yu just cracked his knuckles and raised his arms into a fighting stance. Huan Wei wanted to see their every move and gain experience. All his attention was on them. It would be a pity if he died from the shockwave of one of their techniques.
