1 Prologue [1] - Life sucks...
My fist life was humiliating, an utter disgrace, disaster after disaster.
I had everything I could have wanted, my future was guaranteed, but all was lost in the end... no, it would be more appropriate to say it was all stolen from me... kukuku but don't go thinking it was easy to do so, you see, I fought for every single drop of blood, sweat and tears taken and made their lives pure hell.
But in the end, I stood there helpless as all my life work was turned into dust.
In my fist life I was the Demonic Viewing Sect's patriarch's only son thus as the sect heir, all my wishes were granted making me somewhat of a spoiled brat, honestly can you blame me? if your word was all but sacred and all of your needs were meticulously attended wouldn't you also become a little spoiled?
Anyway, one beautiful day the patriarch requested my presence, and the unsuspected full I was complied (not knowing how that single decision was about to destroy my life).
The patriarch very happily told me I was now engaged to the Peerless Jade Palace's young mistress Mei Jing Bao... that one, that one moment was the beginning of my misery.
Apparently Mei Jing hated my guts, I was honestly surprised, I mean, not to brag but I had a fairly good reputation all things considered, I was prideful and got in a few fights for it, nothing out of the ordinary.
But if you compared me with some of my fellow young masters that went out of their way to ruin someone's life, I could be practically be called a saint... well, maybe not a saint but you get the idea.
The reason she hated me so was because I "stole her freedom", can you believe that b****... sorry, got a little emotional...
can you believe this? stole her freedom? me?
isn't my marriage also arranged?
aren't my choices also being ignored for the sake of the sect?
isn't my freedom also being taken?
can't you see that our situation is the same?
what? I don't have the right to be free as well?
I can't search for love and have a fulfilling life too?
Yet all you do is look down on me and scoff at my every attempt to get to know you better, you're not even trying for f**** sake, is that how an heir is suppose to behave?!!
You think the world revolves around you or something?!
if I have to make sacrifices as the patriarch son so do you!
sorry, she really used to get on my nerves... it's an overstatement to say we didn't get along that well.
One night I was practicing my cultivation technique and saw she sneaking toward the outer court quarters.
Now something of note is that the Demonic Viewing Sect was famous for it's unorthodox practitioners and because the patriarch had the Demon Fog bloodline, which allows the user to make a fog that create qi blind illusions.
That is, any form the fog takes will be unnoticeable by qi, with that power you can cover yourself with fog and become invisible to any qi sensing, an extremely dangerous technique.
Another thing you may take note is that I was the son of the patriarch so I too had that bloodline.
So I used my power to follow her and to my surprise she was there all smiley and flirty with this servant.
The moment I saw that I exploded, here I was trying my best to make her happy, to be a good man worthy of her and she goes around to play with some servant?
Hohoho there was hell to pay, to put it simply I beat him to death, literally, I'm pretty sure he wasn't breathing anymore so with that settled I went to bed... boy how shit happens when you less expect it.
The next week I found out that the boy, 𝐓𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠 I learned his name was, not only was alive but had a drastic personality change.
Had I not know he was a servant, I would totally believe that a senior practitioner from a rival sect had come to cause trouble, just from the sheer confidence he was emanating while facing my followers.
Apparently he wanted to fight me and restore Mei Jing honor... I won't go into details of our verbal match but a few " you are courting death" and "all animosity will be returned hundred fold" were thrown around...
The next day were the match was to take place, many disciples came to watch after all it wasn't everyday that an underdog was going to fight the patriarch son as for the match itself well... I was beaten like an animal, he keep saying things like "you low-life scull" and "born with a golden spoon" but I wasn't really paying attention getting the shit beaten out of me and all.
I've even understood his rage a little, having killing him for one, that didn't lessen the pain though.
After that it's blurred together, I remember the patriarch heavily punishing me for making him lose face, my followers from the outer court going after 𝐓𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠, then my follower and few friends from the inner court going after him, then my close friends from the core section.
Then I finally concluded my punishment seclusion and faced him again, this time doing some damage but sill losing.
Then my senior brother promised me he was going to deal with 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠 while I was undergoing excruciating cultivation on the Void Beasts Wastelands a desert that goes as far as the eye can see.
Senior brother keep contact through some communication treasure and his reports showed that the situation just kept escalating more and more.
The last report I read before going into seclusion was about an elder getting involved... total bull**** right? I mean, an elder getting involved in a disciple's quarrel? yeah right.
When I finally came out of seclusion what greeted me at the sect was emptiness... all of it, destroyed... I searched for a mouth 24/7 uninterrupted... I couldn't even find corpses to bury...
The communicating treasure senior brother gave me had one last report, and on those empty fields were once resided the Demon Viewing Sect, a message was heard.
"𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳... 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦... 𝘢𝘩...𝘢𝘩... 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬... 𝘢𝘩...𝘢𝘩... 𝘩-𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴-"
There was barely any sound but I had the impression that thunder was directly exploding in my ears...
"𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶"- when I heard that voice my body froze... no, my very soul got gelid.
"𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶."
𝘛𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘓𝘶𝘯𝘨... 𝙏𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙜... "𝙏𝙄𝙄𝙄𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝙉 𝙇𝙐𝙐𝙐𝙉𝙂!!!"- my dao almost demonized right there and then, the pure hatred coursing through my body was starting to destabilise my cultivation.

A lone soul swore under the starry night and the grave of his fallen brothers.

I would like to say that my path to revenge was glorious and worthy of songs but... it was really just a cycle of gathering resources, cultivate, track 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠, ruing his plans and life in general, get beaten, escape, repeat, escalate.
But finally, after 842 years of this cat and mouse I succeed.
After ambushing Mei Jing Bao, killing her and trapping her soul, because after becoming an immortal the bastard found a way to do a perfect resurrection (while I've only got a harder to kill body *sing*) thus why the soul part.
I ran across the continent with him on my tail and when we arrived on the Void Beasts Wastelands my delicious revenge was almost complete.
You see the desert had that name because of The Void an infinite hole where all void beasts have crawled from... kukuku with me so far?
There wasn't an epic final fight, a verbal match or even a exchange of gazes he didn't deserve any of that.
I just used all the power I had and all the one I didn't and tossed her soul in the endless abyss she went down like a shooting star it was glorious...
I could feel all my meridians collapse one by one... I started bleeding from head to toe... there wasn't a single part of my body uninjured... a very unpleasant feeling.
Not long after that I heard a desperate...
"𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘖𝘖𝘖𝘖𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑶"
Without thinking twice I jumped into the void, making sure to laugh as loudly as I could... and while death slowly came, I was thinking...
