Jacks Adventure - 139

100 years ago, a void traversing cultivator from the demon race snuck into the spider king's palace and stole a very important weapon. Since then, he had been hunted down by every single spider race member in the Zhou solar system. Since he had broken the treaty of the hundred planets, even the demon race had no plans to protect him. However, it seemed as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Surprisingly, a sighting was reported just a month ago on the planet Jack was on, causing a mission to be produced at the Zhou Sects branches in the water planet. The mission that Jack had accepted was to capture the demon dead or alive, and return the weapon he stole.

The reason the mission was so highly rated was not only because of the 2nd level void traversing cultivation of the person, but because he was spotted at the lair of the strongest being on the water planet, a 3rd level void traversing squid, who was known to attack anything he saw in his territory. As for why he didn't attack the demon race traitor, nobody knew.

After he had traveled around a fourth of the planet, Jack arrived at a red corral field. The coral field surrounded the squid's entire domain and acted as a warning sign to wanderers. Jack didn't bother with it and passed it quickly, officially entering the squids domain.

Before he had even walked a mile, a giant being was seen in the distance quickly moving towards him. Without a word, Jack took his trident out and readied it. Due to the squid's low strength and Jack's talent, he knew it would be a quick battle. As soon as the squid reached Jack, it shot a blast of water towards him. The blast would have reduced any 1st level void traversing cultivator to a pile of meat, but jack moved to the left and let it go right past him.

A shockwave was caused by the blast, but Jack didn't move an inch. At that moment, Jack took out a formation plate and put some Qi into it before dropping it on the ground. As soon as he did, a barrier extended and covered the area within ten miles.

"Do you think that a formation would give you a chance to defeat me? Prepare to d..." The squid attempted to talk, but a spear of light Qi formed above his head and shot down on him, pinning him to the ground and killing him instantly.

"I can sense your presence. Come out now and I'll kill you quickly." Jack said. Even after he talked, nothing in the area changed.

"Fine." He said before he pointed his finger at a sudden area and shot a thin beam of light Qi towards it. The beam pierced through a rock before a loud shout was heard.

"OUCH!"

Jack swiftly moved to the area behind a rock, only to find a demon with a head full of gray hair rolling on the ground while clutching his shoulder. On his shoulder was a small hole that was burning from the power of light Qi.

"Where is the weapon?" Jack calmly asked.

"I'll die before I tell you!" The demon screamed at him.

Not responding to him, Jack grabbed the old man by the arm and used his free hand to grab the man's wounded shoulder, before he squeezed.

"AHHHHH!" The old demon screamed. Still, he looked like he wouldn't tell Jack a thing.

Sensing his defiance, Jack grabbed his trident and pierced a hole in the old demon's left leg, then his right, and finally, Jack cut off his foot.

"Fine...Fine... I'll tell you." The old man said after enduring Jack's interrogation methods. "Just promise you'll kill me instead of turning me in."

"Agreed." Jack said before letting the old demon down.

"Go to that direction for a mile, then dig down and you'll reach a base. The weapon is there." He said while pointing.

Jack extended his divine sense towards that direction, but saw nothing. Just as he was about to interrogate the demon again, the demon spoke.

"It's hidden by a divine sense blocking formation. Only those at the 5th level of void traversing and above can sense it."

Jack nodded, then chained the old demon to the ground with Light Qi and moved towards the direction the old demon had pointed him in. Just as he had said, there was a small base exactly a mile away and a thousand feet deep, hidden by a formation.

Jack was able to quickly find the weapon, a greatsword that had reached the level of a 5th level void traversing weapon. Despite its power, Jack had no interest in it and returned to the demon after grabbing it. Without any words, Jack used the great sword to decapitate the demon and brought his body back to the Zhou Sect branch.

When he walked into the building and returned the weapon, along with the demon's body, he received a round of applause from the members of the Zhou Sect. The receptionist asked him to stay in town for a couple days and wait for the spider king to personally visit in order to reward him and thank him.

Since he wasn't busy and had no plans, Jack agreed and waited ten days for the spider king to arrive. In that time, news of the grim reaper's defeat had spread and Jack gained even more respect for the rulers of the Zhou World.

Even now, he was excited for the day he could reach their level and bring his race up to new heights. After eating dinner with the spider king and receiving his reward of ten top grade spirit stones, Jack left the planet and headed to the one next to it.

He planned to go around every planet in the Zhou Solar system, and by the time he returned he would be strong enough to be considered a ruler.

After watching the quick journey, Zhou Fan stopped watching Jack and got ready to enter seclusion.
