Rebirth!

They were Nine Star Descendants! Cross was besieged by hundreds of Nine Star Descendants, as was Long Chen. They were fighting for their lives pretty much, each of the Nine Star Descendants turned into their 7 Star Battle Body.

Cross' eyes widened and he transformed into his Void Battle Body, fighting them all off and blowing them up into Thunder Runes. The Inner World started absorbing them as did the blackhole, sending them to the rest.

Cross was fighting against them on all sides, frantically. He smelled the threat of death but it wasn't from the Nine Star Descendants, but something else.

Suddenly the void was torn open and a Nine Star Thunder man shouted angrily "Who gave you the courage to enslave Nine Star Descendants!?" the world looked to be ripped in half. Everyone was in shock and felt endless fear. The Nine Star man looked at Long Chen and flashed in front of him, grabbing at Long Chen.

Cross cut out a path and charged to the Nine Star man in front of Long Chen, endless killing intent flooded the world as he slashed down with the scythe, the Nine Star man looked at Cross, but didn't move.

Suddenly, a man dressed in black thunder with pitch black eyes and long black hair appeared. The man caught the scythe with his palm covered in a small blackhole. Cross' pupils shrank in disbelief and the man said "Too weak." a massive blackhole opened up on his back and Cross was blasted away.

Cross stomped on the void and a giant blackhole appeared on his back as he shot forward at the other Void Descendant. Cross and the man collided, scythe and fist, countless people got caught in the ripples and exploded into blood mists.

Everything was being devoured by the blackhole on Cross' back and pouring into Cross' body before being devoured again.

The man had blackholes open on the back of his hands, seemingly a part of his skin. His hands burst into black Qi before he threw out a punch. Cross roared and returned the scythe to a bracelet before meeting the man's fist with his own, covered in black flames.

The weird blob-like energy and the black fire were fighting to devour each other, but the blob-like energy won. Cross was blasted away and the man chased after him, smashing a fist on Cross' chest as he said coldly "Wrong method. Holding back. External forces."

The man grabbed Cross and paused before saying emotionlessly "Hunted?" ice-cold killing intent erupted and the man said "Lucky." before exploding into thunder runes and drilling into Cross' body, making him scream in pain.

At the same time, in his mind, countless teachings and scriptures, along with the full [Silence of the Abyss] Art were repeating over and over, burning themselves in Cross' mind. The inner world buzzed and all the corpses and blood around was sucked into the world, returning to the black soil.

The Thunder runes in the air were devoured by Lei Ling'er and the extra was taken by the Inner World. The surviving people were less than 50, but Lei Ling'er killed them and devoured their thunder as well, soon there was nobody left and everything was picked clean by the joint efforts of Lei Ling'er and the Inner World.

Lei Ling'er had cut down people with a thunder sword and Huo Ling'er helped with a fire sword. They were real swords, actual artifacts, not made by their own power. There fore they had unimaginable power. The people were cut like vegetables in front of them.

Cross was still twitching and he, Long Chen, and Jiang Lei disappeared, leaving the former Tianhe Blood Sea abandoned.

Long Chen teleported them away 15-17 times and they all broke through to the Immortal King Realm. Long Chen went back to the Elves and told the Old man he needed to lock up. The old man nodded and arranged a residence for him and Jiang Lei before taking great care of Cross, who was currently in a coma.

Long Chen and Jiang Lei locked up and the Old man got all the elves to go to the Forbidden area as he brought Cross there anxiously. The women from before looked at Cross nervously as well, the Old man said seriously "Open the Tree." the elves were shocked and said "Leader! You!"

The old man said coldly "This is the King! He's the only hope we have! I'm even willing to die!" the Elves were stunned and hurriedly opened the Tree, revealing a pool of Green Crystalline Liquid. They carefully placed Cross inside before closing the Tree and praying around the Tree in a circle, muttering prayers in Elven.

Meanwhile, inside the Tree.

The Green Crystalline Liquid was shining and covering Cross completely as gold light trickled in from outside, dying the liquid Gold. Cross was changing inside and out. The Void Descendant gave him everything he knew. Cross meridians were expanding and breaking but the Golden liquid was healing them.

His entire body was breaking and repairing from the energy of the Void Descendant. At the same time Cross was in a strange state, the techniques from the Void Descendant were stored in the library but they also crumbled in his mind as a golden light flashed in his mind.

The techniques, the Void battle body, and the [Silence of the Abyss] started becoming one, just like when he unified his body. Everything was mixing and evolving in his mind, his mind buzzed and a brand new book appeared, a name rang in his mind [Void King Body Arts]

Cross' body shined and delicate golden markings appeared his right eye and cheek, mirroring the left side of his face. His entire body buzzed and black swirls appeared on the back of his hands and in his palms.

On his neck, the ring tattoo thinned into a line and connected a Black Flame, a Black Lightning Bolt, a Black Water Drop, a Black Swirl, and a Black Tree. They were all connected by a line and circles around his neck with the same amount of space in between each pattern.

His torso had 2 lines with pointed tips coming over each shoulder and onto his chest, 2 more lines coming from each side of his waist, ending on his lower abs, pointing up. The 8 pointed lines were pointing to the center of his chest.

On his arms, two black rings on his upper forearms just below his elbow. Finally on his legs, two black rings just above his ankles. He roared and the Golden Liquid poured into his body, destroying and repairing his meridians, expanding them infinitely and slowly turning them golden and crystalline.

The entire Tree trembled and slowly withered, revealing Cross floating in the air. A seed was hovering above Cross' head before slowly sinking into his body as the Inner World shook fiercely.

Cross opened his eyes slowly, a gold light shining out from them and landing on the praying Elves, filling them with life and soothing their souls. They looked up at Cross and smiled softly. Cross slowly touched down on the ground and breathed out, the air around seemed to get more pure.

The Old man trembled in excitement. The light dimmed down and the iris in his eyes had changed. There was a Taichi diagram in the iris, it was no longer solely black but half gold and half black, spinning endlessly.

Cross looked at the Elves and raised his hand gently, the Elves rose up from the ground and the grass seemed to rise up as well. Cross said softly "There's no need for this. You have exceeded my expectations of you all." he spoke in Elven and his voice seemed to flow with nature.

The Old man said "No. We must do this." Cross stepped and appeared in front of the Old man abruptly, softly patting his shoulder and smiling softly as he said "Thank you." The Old man teared up and said "This Old man doesn't deserve it." Cross smiled and said nothing.

He turned his head to the group of women, he waved his hand and a golden light enveloped them, transforming their bodies and strength, basically blessing them. They kneeled on one knee and said in unison "Thank you, King." Cross pursed his lips as he said "You can drop your act, Jinyi. I don't believe you don't hate me for humiliating you."

Jinyi's , who was the leader of the women, face turned unnatural and Cross said "I don't care what you feel to be honest. You disrespected me and were punished, I don't hate you, you are inconsequential to my life. You are and always will be Elves, we're the same race. Unlike the Humans, I would like to not destroy each other. Competition is natural, but cooperation with the enemy out of fear is unacceptable!"

He looked at the sky and sighed "Our Race will have to go through a purging, though it pains me to lose warriors, I will not let us fall, even if I'm the last one standing." his words were awe inspiring and captured the hearts of countless Elves.

Cross looked at the Old man and said "Why are you weak, old man." the Old man said immediately "King, your friend encountered a problem and his meridians cracked. This old man, used his Spirit Source to heal him." Cross nodded and his eyes flashed before he pressed his index finger and thumb together before separating them.

A drop of Golden Crystalline Liquid appeared. Cross pushed it into the Old man's body before stepping on the void saying "You've earned this King's kindness, Old man." the Old man couldn't respond as his entire body was covered in spider web like cracks before exploding.

The old man was transformed into a middle aged man! The Elves were excited and the Old man said "Oh wow!" Jinyi said quickly "Leader! You're body!" the Old man, er.. Middle Aged man said "It's real! Back in my prime again. The power of the King is truly unimaginable!"

Cross appeared in a wooden room to see Long Chen on a bed, he took out a drop of Golden Crystalline Liquid and guided it into Long Chen's mouth. The Golden drop melted and scattered on his meridians, breaking them down and healing them endlessly.

Cross sat in a chair and looked out the window at the little Elf kids playing around. His face was expressionless but dignified, he felt something had awoken in him, something different from the Void God. He sighed and forgot about it, even if he wanted to know he would never find out. Even if he asked the Dragon guy.

He'd probably say something like 'It's not time for you too know.' or 'The cause and effect is too strong for you to bear.' The dragon suddenly felt like coughed up blood in anger as he listened to Cross' thoughts about him.

A few days later

Long Chen was healed and the group left. Cross was going to take the Elves with him but the Leader refused, saying it was good for them to stay here. Cross shook his head and left a seed from the new Towering Tree in his Inner World. There was a region full of extremely tall Trees, although them were only Pseudo Divine Trees, they were still very precious. Cross buried a seed from the Trees and poured a basin of Purity dew on it before leaving,

The seed sprouted immediately, forming into a giant Tree that towered over the Elves. It was even better than the previous one! The Elves jumped for joy and erected a statue of Cross at the base of the Tree, praying to him and worshiping their King.

Cross' golden markings glowed slightly before dimming as energy was stored in the markings themselves. He was confused, where did he get the power of faith from? He forgot about it and traveled with Long Chen and Jiang Lei until they reached a city.

As soon as they reached the gate of the city they heard someone shouting while beating a gong "Wuliang palace in front of Wuliang Mountain, Wuliang temple outside Wuliang gate, Tianjiao has no way to pursue his dream, and once they meet Mo Nian, they will become empty."

Long Chen, Jiang Lei, and Cross were stunned. Though Cross' face was expressionless again, they walked to the shouting and saw two men tied up. Every time they recited the poem the chains on their body dimmed, when they were freed one of the men tried to smash the gong but he turned to ashes and the other man died inexplicably.

Long Chen picked up the Gong and smashed it to reveal a compass. He was ecstatic and suddenly someone shouted "Put that down!" Cross looked at the man and his eyes turned as he said "Die." the powerful guys suddenly flew towards Cross and twisted in the air on their way, becoming a giant ball of flesh, not even a drop of blood was spilled on the ground.

Their rings and weapons flew out and disappeared while the ball of meat was washed over with a lightning curtain before it disappeared as well, right into the black soil.

A thing to note! Cross had his medium length hair tied up in a messy bun and he was wearing a short sleeved Kimono with flowers on it that was given to him by several Elf children. He was still bare chested and wore his shorts and slippers but the Kimono was new.

Overall, he looked very delicate and beautiful, but also very unique. The Kimono sleeves stopped halfway down his forearms and the bottom on the Kimono was halfway down his thighs. There were multicolored flower patterns all over it and had a black background. The little girl that gave it to him was so cute he couldn't say no and wore it.

The golden markings on his face were also, for better or worse, enhancing his looks. His entire being felt in line with nature but at the same time not. Like a primordial beast, patiently waiting to strike at it's prey.

Long Chen smiled and said "Let's go find Mo Nian!" Cross and Jiang Lei nodded and the trio left.
