"you're thinking, clear your mind," Sora said lazily as he blocked and countered Shiro's attacks with one hand while reading a book. Shiro gritted her teeth, as she couldn't land a blow upon Sora no matter what she did. Sora's movements were all perfect, down to the last second,
Shiro suddenly stepped forward and sent a punch toward Sora. it was a perfect punch, that caught on an opening Sora left. but to her shock, Sora's hand reach out and grab her arm. and with a twist, Sora stepped forward as Shiro's whole body made spin mid-air before she fell heavily to the ground.
"Well, you made progress, and I finished the book. well, let's go eat." Sora said lazily as he watched her slowly get up. its been 2 months now since Shiro returned, and life has been peaceful since then as they simply trained in the mountain, and while training,
Just as they were about to go inside, the tiger which was lazily watching them fight ears twitched slightly before it looked down the mountain. below the mountain, a little girl around 12 or 13 years old was running up the mountain while a group of masked men rushed after her. these masked men had injuries all over their bodies, although at the diamond rank, they were heavily troubled catching a little girl who barely had strength at the silver rank.
"you damn brat, get back here." They yelled angrily, but the girl ignored them as she ran with all her might. she soon noticed a wooden farm on top of the mountain, and a huge white tiger slowly stepped forward, looking down upon them with a narrowed eye.
"since she managed to come here it's fate, help her out," Sora said calmly, the tiger nodded slightly, and with a thought, its will slammed down upon those running after the little girl, turning them to dust. the little girl was shocked seeing this, and instantly came to a stop, she fearfully stepped backward while looking at the tiger, but the tiger ignored her and went back to the mountain as if nothing happened.
She was shocked for a moment, she wanted to run away. but being a little girl, she was curious, but she was o scared to go up the mountain and too scared to go back down the mountain. so, she slowly went up the mountain,
as she arrived up the mountain, she froze at the sight of everything on top of the mountain. it was like she stepped into a new world, the air was immortal Qi, the grass was all the void grade, everything within the garden was at the void grade as well,
Soon, she was hit with a smell that instantly made saliva fall from her mouth as if it was a waterfall. the smell seemed to have power, as it flitted her up into the air, pulling her closer to the window where she saw Sora, Shiro, and the tiger getting ready for a meal.
"Well, since you're here, you might as well come in," Sora said calmly as he looked at her, scaring her shitless. but since Sora invented her in, it would be rude to refuse, so she shakingly entered the house under the gaze of everyone.
Shiro's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the little birl growing, she had all-white clothing with a number tag saying 29065323. she was a research subject that ran away. using her spiritual sense, Shiro quickly realized that this little girl had a body of a part human and another being a mix of metal and something which gave off the feeling that it could swallow her spiritual sense.
she had only heard of one powerful organization within the lower realm which could make something like this, it was a branch of an organization with the immortal realm.
"Supreme Heavens Lab," Shiro said with a deep frown, the little girl's legs almost gave in hearing Shiro's words. she fearfully looked at Shiro, as if afraid she would try and send her back.
"what that?" Sora asked calmly while he sat down,
"It's an evil organization with the goal of making the strongest lifeforms, out of all organizations, it ranks 50 out of the worlds that had conquered the most worlds. it likes to experiment with worlds, trying to create something that could be considered perfection. I have heard of the trouble they caused, the goddess clan tries hard to deal with them, but in the end, we can't pinpoint their base. plus, they seem to have a connection to the 10 commandments, making this matter extremely tricky as it's connected to the lord. it also makes sense with the resources they have, only a member within the 10 or 7 commandments could supply them with such resources. " Shiro said softly, Sora nodded slightly as he waved at her to come over and seat.
since fate brought her here, she should be some watch OP. the little girl was slightly easied hearing how Shiro didn't like the organizations, slowly stepping forward, she seat down while looking at them weakly.
"Well, let's pray," Shiro said calmly, an annoyed look appeared on Sora's face hearing this. why must he pay to himself? Shiro frowned slightly seeing Sora disrespect god, at other times she could ignore it, but not with a child here. they had to put on a good example for the younger generation,
"pray?" The little girl asked in confusion, the concept of prayer was something she was never taught, seeing this, Shiro's rage towards that organization reached a new height.
"I will teach you everything you need to know after we are done eating, first go wash your hands, then I shall pray," Shiro said with a gentle smile, which made the little girl feel at ease. she nodded slightly before the tiger went to show her where to wash her hands.
"did you know true forms look like monsters?" Sora asked lazily as he eat, veins popped on Shiro forward seeing Sora eating away, the fact Shiro was trying to distract her only made her more annoyed, but she was hooked on what Sora was saying.
"what do you mean monsters?" She asked with a frown, angels were the most heavenly of all things, God created the angels to slam down the hammer of justice upon all those who do evil. God loved the angels the most, so he put the most trust in them. every time she thought of this, she felt unmatched joy.
"well, real angels are floating eyeballs with wings or rings covered in eyes. they came in all shapes and sizes. angels look nothing like humans," Sora said with a smile, making Shiro's eyes narrow unhappily. since when was her race disrespected like this? as the prince of the goddess clan, she couldn't stand and take such words, even coming from Sora
"It's just a theory, no need to go crazy over it. plus, I'm sure god would pick a beauty like you over a scary-eyed angel." Sora said with a smile, Shiro couldn't help but snort slightly. her all work up, just to use sweat words... it of course worked.
the little girl soon returned with a face covered in water, it was clear she had drunk the water, unable to control herself. seeing as everyone was ready, Shiro began praying, as she prayed everyone felt a strange feeling within them as if they were being blessed by something.
meanwhile, Sora calmly eat while looking at them, before quickly putting the fork down when Shiro opened her eyes, and like that they all began eating. after they eat, Shiro began teaching the little girl the path to god,
time went by, and Shiro name the little girl Saiko. Shiro also began teaching her how to cultivate, Saiko had the unique power of darkness. with this power of darkness, she could swallow all things, and even create a unique black mist that could block all senses.
those this darkness swallow would be devoured by her, allowing her to have another form of devouring others through the God Of conquest cultivation art. her creator was her father, her father went out of his way to find a woman who could give birth to the right child.
after she was born, he waited a few years before he began experimenting on her. he fused her with a unique metal, bio-darkness metal. a unique metal that had a hint of primordial energy which he found from another world.
she couldn't just turn into a liquid form, but also harden to an extreme level. she had the unique power of darkness, plus she was also part Cyborg and had a unique build for adapting, her body can adapt and evolve when facing great danger. for example, she adapted to hunger allowing her to no longer needing to eat. instead, even before cultivation, she was using the air she breathed for food.
this made her a tricky person to face, the more damage she face, her body simply upgrade. of course, this upgrade cost energy, although she had infinite energy, this energy is not for upgrading, so if one could use up all her energy then she could be brought down.
of course, there was a chance she might upgrade allowing her to use less energy to upgrade or upgrade to a point where she would no longer need energy.
seeing this, Sora couldn't help but take some interest in her. unlike the robots Merlin had shown, the girl in front of him was Cyborg. She and her metal parts would grow along with her, although this will lead to her using more energy than others of the same level.
Sora couldn't help but wonder if he should add some metal parts to his body, but in the end, he decided not to. he was all original, and he will like to remain that way.
Sora punched forward toward Saiko, and Saiko moved smoothly like water. her leg moved as she put herself under the punch, before he grabbed Sora's fist, and tried to flip Sora over. but at the last moment, she froze as she felt a punch tapping the back of her head.
"but my movement was perfect," Saiko said with a pout, she was done everything perfectly, and was even about to make a perfect counter.
"There is no such thing as perfect, if you believe I truly make the perfect move every time, then what would happen if I go against someone with ultra instinct of the same level as myself? what would happen if two people with perfect moves clash against each other?" Sora asked calmly, making Saiko quiet for some time.
"it would be a tie, no side should win then." She said softly, to which Shiro nodded in agreement,
"Well, would that be perfect? perfection means the absolute peak, you're imagination is just too weak to comprehend another level above that... let me ask questions, what would happen if a person useless absolutely 100% of their power?" Sora asked calmly
"they would face some feedback as they pushed themselves to the absolute limit," She said softly, before slightly understanding what Sora was trying to say, but she couldn't take the step needed to reach it.
"That's right, a person with a powerlevel of 10 compared to someone with a powerlevel of 5 who had perfect control of the there power. meaning, they trained to handle 100% of their power and even master martial arts, they could win, and break that 1.5 limitations." Sora said calmly, stunning Saiko
"the mind limits the body's capability, but once the limitations are moved, then you would have full access to your full body capability. at which point, you should start training hard, pushing your body to the absolute limitations, training your body to withstand that limit, then picture yourself, every attack holding 100% of your power, without any feedback." Sora said stunning everyone where,
"... is there a level above that?" Saiko asked in a soft voice, Sora thought for a moment before nodding.
"of course. go past 100%, transcend the limits. you gain a technique, it would have a limit to its usefulness, but if one could shatter that limit, then even mortal-grade techniques could rival immortal-grade techniques. at first, it might be 100.01%, but later, it could reach a million, a billion, or a trillion% past your absolute limits." Sora said with a smile,
"the body is a weapon, why the hell are you keeping it within some kind of limitations? break the limits, and go past all logic. logic is a wall, if you can't shatter that wall, you would forever be blocked." Sora said with a smile, Saiko's eyes brightened slightly as she nodded before she went on to go cultivate.
"show me a punch that goes past 100%," Shiro said softly, Sora nodded slightly before walking over to her,
"it's only going to a simple strength," Sora said calmly, Shiro nodded slightly as he got ready to see the punch. Sora seeing she was ready, punched forward. the punch seemed like a normal punch. but in Shiro's eyes, she saw a huge image of a fist flying toward her.
the punch was weak, but it went beyond 100%, what was 100%, that would mean the one used absolutely everything the body could do. there is a say, that there is no such thing as 100%,
it's similar to near 100% of the speed of night, the closer you near this speed of light, the more and more you would see your changes. for example, 99.99% compared to 99.999% doesn't seem like a huge gap, but intrust that was a huge gap. the near you get two 100%, the more energy would be needed, and the return the greater the pressure.
Sora currently only had a powerlevel 10. but adding the fact he could unless 100% of his power, his strength increased by a lot. pretty much his powerlevel increased 2 times, this was him tapping into the true capability of one's own body. but what about when he goes beyond 100%, for every 100% his powerlevel will go through a notable transformation,
with everything the body had unlocked, Sora had also gone on and trained every muscle in his body, it was not to the point of bodybuilders or anything. but under his clothing, Sora held a body of 100% muscles, which allowed him to have a powerlevel of 10 even as a normal person, and higher with 100% of his strength.
this is not even adding martial arts, which would allow Sora to fight upwards of 3 times his own powerlevel.
"amazing. how far did you go?" Shiro asked as she easily caught the punch, Sora smiled slightly as he pulled his hand back.
"I reached 250%. this is also for martial arts, the mortal body can't take another step," Sora said calmly, stunning Shiro.
"ok, how about your martial arts." She said quickly, Sora nodded slightly before he closed his eyes and had her come at him. Shiro smiled slightly, to see what Sora was talking about, she suppressed herself to a powerlevel of 100.
she disappeared and appeared before Sora, her punch shot forward toward Sora's head. Sora calmly stepped to the side, while stepping forward, Shiro quickly moved to punch Sora, but in trust, she was trying to make some space between the two.
Sora seemed to be as flexible as water, spinning around the fist, Shiro's eyes shrank as she saw an elbow stopping a hairs birth away from her face. She was too stood to speak, Sora at beast had a power level of 35, but his powerlevel with ultra instance had shot up to 122.5. adding those perfect movements, she left helpless as Sora took every mistake she made without flaw. she could try and trick Sora, but Sora seemed to see through it all.
"Impressive, thats a total of 12.5 boosts to your strength," Shiro said with bright eyes, if she could master this then she would be unstoppable within the same level.
"a snake shouldn't try and swallow an elephant when it could eat a mouse. don't look too high up, our your nake will break." Sora said sagely as he put his hands behind his back,
"you're calling me a snake?" She said with a frown, Sora rolled his eyes slightly as he turned and left.
"where are you going, it's almost time to reading the book of god." She said seeing the time, Sora was annoyed hearing her saying this. why must he hear something he wrote to brainwash his people to install a false sense of hope, so he could bring upon chaos for his grand plans... well, putting it like that, Sora sounds like a dick.
back in the immortal realm, Shisui, Eivor, and Lu sat in the center of the flower blossom forest while comprehending the Dao. Shisui couldn't help but feel annoyed while throwing some looks at Eivor, this was simply because Eivor swallowed the effort of all his hard work, and with one step, reached the heavens.
reaching the sun and moon tier took hundreds of years for Shisui, it took Eivor only a few months since he left. Eivor also was now much stronger than him, having the Supreme Immortal phoenix bloodline, along with the conquest race bloodline which was of the latest version, Eivor could fart and Shisui would die.
Shisui wanted to enter the system to update his bloodline, but that might leave to some unknown event which could be bad news. so, for the missions, he could only remain as he was.
meanwhile, Lu was uneasy while looking at the prince of the phoenix clan, this guy was someone out of his strength range. what shocked him was that the prince was not as arrogant as he heard, but instead simply nodded towards him before ignoring him. but what made him so uneasy was that he seemed close to Shisui, Shisui was the man he liked. what man would just sit there while allowing such a thing to happen
"Well, 10 years is near," Shisui said calmly as he stood up, as his words fell, the heaven and earth shook as they began rejecting everyone within this world. Eivor waved his hands, and just as they disappeared, he grabbed a flower blossom tree and threw it into the system. this tree's ability was too good to be ignored.
everyone who was within the holy ground found themselves in the outside world, to no one shook, many who entered didn't return back alive.
"What happened to the young master?" an enraged voice sounded, boom through everyone's eyes, causing those with weaker cultivation to cover their ears. a huge man who gave off a powerful Wolf Qi which made everyone horrified appeared.
the huge man was like a giant, he had hair covering most of his body, making others wonder if was his body or his clothing. the huge man smelled slightly, and slowly turned his head towards Shisui, killing intent slowly filling the world, as he eyed Shisui.
"What did you do to the young master?" He asked coldly, Shisui rubbed his chin slightly, as he fell into deep thought.
"was he a 3 headed wolf?" Shisui asked calmly, the huge man nodded slightly, and Shisui also nodded for a moment before shaking his head.
"Oh, he tried to kill me, so I killed him," Shisui said calmly, the man was enraged hearing Shisui answer. the fact that Shisui answered it without a hint of fear made his rage explode, he reached out to kill Shisui, but out of the blue, powerful Phoenix flames hit him, turning him into ash.
"snort, you pieces of trash dare to try and make me deaf?" Eivor said with a disdainful look as he looked at everyone, causing everyone to take a step backward in fear. Eivor just once shotted a low peak, Heavenly Immortal, which was scary, to say the least,
"Fang Tian, you're now my rival. you will do well to know your place and not die. come to the phoenix clan when you're ready for ur next dual." Eivor said as he turned into a huge Supreme heavenly Phoenix, and flew off. everyone froze in shock as they looked at Shisui.
little to no people knew that the prince of the phoenix clan was entering this year, he was a stop prodigy within the phoenix clan, ranked in the top 5. the eyes which fall on Shisui had mixed feelings, a few wanted to befriend him after all if he can become the rival of someone so talented, his future was endless.
a few others wanted to kill him, after all, such a talent couldn't be controlled. it's best to remove the danger before it grows.
"Shisui, stop by my sect when you're heading to the heavenly court. I too would be heading there." Lu said with a smile as he patted Shisui back. the heavenly court was holding an event to rank the most talented people across the first heaven. those who get first place will get a chance to cultivate within the Heavenly Court's holy ground for 100 years, there were many other rewards that caught many attractions, and the rewards were so good that even a few Immortal emperors wanted to take part
there was of course an age limit, that being one had to be under 1 million years old, there were also limitations to cultivation, they couldn't be over the Heavenly immortal realm. this event would be held within 500 years,
"I also owe you a meal," he said with a smile, Shisui smiled slightly before he calmly walked towards the Heaven Shattering Sect, the sect leader was shocked for some time before he burst out laughing in joy.
He didn't expect Shisui to befriend the young master of the golden Golden Heaven Sect and the prince of the phoenix clan. Lu was the son of an ancestor within the Golden Heaven Sect, he held somewhat high positions within the sect as he was the younger brother of the current sect leader.
Lu was well known for his humble self, this was mostly because of his upbringing, from a young age he was stabbed in the back by many females. from his mother to his loves. in fact, his mother threw him to a lower realm once he was born, he was raised in a mortal village where he grew up with a childhood sweetheart.
but his so-called sweetheart coldly broke his heart the moment another male who was slightly better came along. Luckily, Lu was talented and had a powerful bloodline, he quickly surpassed the man his sweet heartfelt him for, leading to his sweetheart coming back to him, saying stuff that she made a mistake, and they could still fix things
Lu foolishly believed her, but again, she broke his heart upon seeing someone else. This left Lu depressed for some time, but he luckily had some friends who helped him up. it was then Lu found that he was most happy with his beloved friends, his trust towards females had almost shattered, but it wasn't until he ran into his next girlfriend that he thought females were all demons in human clothing.
Lu met a girl who seemed to be as pure as the heavens, she was so cheerful that Lu let his guard around him. it didn't take long for the two to start dating, but while dating her, Lu didn't notice how manipulative she was.
She got him to do so many things without even knowing, he was nothing more than a puppet she was controlling. when he realized this, he found that love was just not for him. he lost trust for females, and spent his time around those he could truly call his friends. but as he stayed with him, he couldn't help but wonder how different it would be to date them.
as for his mother, he found out the truth about his past upon he ascended to the immortal realm and she was the first person he met. He has never seen a woman who had such deep hatred toward him. she wanted to kill him on the spot, but luckily for him, his father stepped in to save him.
it turned out, the woman who tried to kill him was not his real mother but a stepmother, his father was charmed into sleeping with the woman she hated the most. it was an act to attack her and to make things worse, that woman ended up getting pregnant.
to attack her even more, she had Lu's father raise him. Lu couldn't bring himself to kill his son, no matter what, this was his flesh and blood. so what if he was raped in the making of this son, his Dao heart would suffer if he killed him or just stood there and watch him die.
in the end, Lu's stepmother threw Lu to the lower realm, never wanting to see him again. upon entering the Golden Heaven Sect, to say the least, Lu's stepmother made him suffer. his elder stepbrother who was the sect leader ignored his existence,
this lad to Lu's character being refined, and his hatred towards women reaches a new height. to his real mother, he was nothing more than a tool used to attack his stepmother. to his stepmother, he was nothing more than the shame of her existence. to his father, he was nothing more than the child he must protect for his Dao's heart. to his stepbrother, he was nothing more than air.
Shisui upon hearing Lu's back story was quiet for some time, to him, Lu was at first an odd cultivator who might have something wrong with him. but now, he thought Lu wasn't so odd, you really can't judge a book by its cover. he at that moment began considering Lu as someone to befriend...
within another region within the immortal realm, a dark rub demon was walking through the darkness. countless mummified bodies lay all around him, as strange energy entered his body. these lifeforms all were still alive, suffering a fate worse than death.
", I got the news that Fang Tian had seemly befriended the prince of the phoenix clan." a woman who was also covered in demonic black robs said as she appeared before Long Tang, this woman was none other than Hen Xing.
Long Wang slowly took off the black hood, revealing his demonic face. his eyes were bounded by black cloth, his face has turned horrific, bring upon horror upon anyone who sees it. his body was completely skin, seemly holding no hint of muscles.
"Fang Tian..." he said in a low voice, his voice sounded like cries from hell, he had completely given himself into Dispair, and through Dispair, he had gained unmatched power. this whole region was a space of its own, but even so, he had turned it into a farm. he had every life from suffering a fate like none other, while he absorbed every one's Dispair, allowing for his power to grow and grow none stop. everyone was a step away from death, but he had sealed away this world from the reach of death, making it so death could never reach this world.
"cultivate until you reach the peak of the sun and moon tier, it's best we leave no opening for failure." Hen Xing said with a smile, shockingly, Long Wang nodded in agreement, he threw away everything, his humanity for power. he would not go at it be it cocky, not this time. he had to make sure he was ready for anything that could happen.
