Nether Storm

The tension within the atmosphere became rather suffocating. The shaking atmosphere, plus the boiling chakras seem to form a strange blemish.

This time, a chill finally crawled down Yu Chen's spine.

How can his brother still give him chills...

No!

It definitely didn't come from his brother.

Not until he remembered what his father had said...

He had contacted his master.

Yu Chen's expression changed drastically.

Not good...!

It was almost dusk, the moment night settles, she would be a very horrifying existence. He needed to leave...

Yu Chen stood up from the chair, his expression a bit sullen but he pierced Yu Dan a powerful gaze.

"Don't worry, I'll be back so we can finally settle the score."

However when Yu Chen turned to leave, powerful ring energy materialized from the ground and blocked his path.

Yu Chen was shocked yet again. Yu Dan's energy had changed.

His expression turned serious. This is not going to end well. How can he not reveal himself when he had felt crisis from two sides...

"And where do you think you're going? Your master Is on his way, a lonely stray dog cannot be left wandering on his own!"

Yu Chen's parents nodded in affirmation to Yu Dan's words which got Yu Chen's eyes turning bloodshot.

"What did you say?" Anger overwhelmed him, but he struggled to stay calm despite his growing bloodlust...

"I don't blame you. I blame your parents for this." Yu Chen spouted in anger.

"Chen, you better watch your tongue. We're your parents, and whatever we do it's for your own good!" His mother shouted and Yu Chen stared at her, bloodlust leaking from him in spiral waves.

"I told you that I'm sick and tired of hearing those words. It can't be for my own good ans that's because my own parents discarded me in the hand of someone else so that I can be killed. What a shame!"

Yu Chen's father finally stood up.

"Chen, you don't have the right to raise your voice in my house. Isn't it obvious? You cannot awaken. You are hopeless and useless. You don't deserve our sincerity. You deserve to die!"

Yu Chen finally smiled.

"I knew it! I knew you did not care for me. The day you discovered my hopeless state was the day you withdrew. And I had almost believed that it really was for my own good!"

Yu Chen smiled but his smile held a bit of mockery. "Yu Dan awakened nine years ago which is a bit surprising. Indeed, he has monstrous talent to have awakened at five, but that doesn't give you both the right to discard me. It was almost like you've decided my fate. That I should die and it doesn't bother you..."

Yu Chen's patience was running out, the chills he felt wàs becoming much more clearer. His master was drawing closer. Not just that, darkness had already covered the sky in a black veil.

'Damnit, I should wrap this up...'

Before he could continue speaking, Yu Dan spoke. "Now that you've figured out, what can you do about it? You'll still die anyways. Your master would be the causer of your death. Right from the time you went in as her disciple, we've already placed your life in her hands.. you're finished!" The moment Yu Dan completed this statement, Yu Chen's pupils shrank.

An almost invincible aura descended that Yu Chen was smashed into the ground.

"No..."

Seeing this amount of power, Yu Chen realized that he must have underestimated her.

The lady turned towards Yu Chen's parents.

"I should kill him. A hopeless disciple will always be a burden."

Yu Dan stared at the veiled lady and gave his consent as if he was the heir of the family.

"Not like this... Not..." Yu Chen suddenly felt a suffocating pressure slam upon his consciousness and he felt a wave of vertigo.

Yu Chen knew that he would really die if he continue hiding himself. Immediately, death energy spilled from his body like a wave and instantly, his master, Yu Dan and his both parents retreated far, evading the oppressive power of death energy.

When they looked at Yu Chen again, he was completely different compared to before. His eyes were like a pulling black hole his hair which had been normal suddenly cascaded down his back in a wave.

His master was surprised.

"You actually took my idea!"

Yu Chen smiled. "Maybe I did. But that doesn't settle our score. I may not be able to do anything to you now, but in the future I'll definitely come back to take my revenge."

Yu Chen's parents was stunned.

What had just happened. Yu Dan was the most shocked, he had almost been suppressed by Yu Chen... he couldn't get himself to recover from the shock.

Yu Chen's master smiled.

"The first time I let you off due to my flaw. Now I can balance between purity and filth. I could kill you!"

Yu Chen's eyes flashed and he responded, "let's see you try."

It wasn't that Yu Chen was cocky or arrogant, he had even wanted to escape but he knew that his master wouldn't let him off especially when Yu Chen knew of her biggest weakness. It is possible that he might come in the day and suppress her. She could not allow that...

While Yu Chen could pretend to be brave for the moment.

Suddenly, his master burst with a terrifying power sending the entire house fracturing and becoming shards of ruins.

Yu Dan's pupils constricted. His only inheritance!

It's all because of Yu Chen's arrival. Everything is happening because of him. Yu Dan did not forget to retreat with his parents. His power wasn't enough to witness the Saint of Purity fight.

Yu Chen's Void Staff materialized.

His Death's Spear materialized too...

They took the form of an X format and Yu Chen's body was blasted backwards.

Yu Chen could feel her endless strength. She wasn't able to display such strength at daytime which was a bummer, and she obviously wouldn't let him live since he knew her only secret. Which is why she attacked at full strength.

Yu Chen only needed an opportunity to escape.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger and he turned. A powerful whirlpool manifested from nothingness and started consuming the existence around it.

It actually left utter devastation in it's wake.

Yu Chen's pupils shrank.

"Nether Storm? She actually controls the Nether Storm?"

What remained of the Yu family's house was completely crumpled to the ground while the Nether Storm continued to consume everything around it.

Yu Chen used Tendrils of Abisills and a powerful wall of sealed tendrils slammed upon the Nether Storm but his walls broke down instantly.

It was consumed.

His master laughed. "You actually underestimate my Nether Storm, now die!"

Suddenly the Nether Storm grew much powerful and larger...

Yu Chen's expression sank.

"So she had been holding back most of the power?"

That's because, a Nether Storm can consume an entire City. So the moment the Storm grew, other surrounding areas were affected by the consuming force.

Yu Chen faintly saw space collapsing before his eyes and he instantly commanded his will.

The earth rose from nothingness. An extra layer of the earth, it towered endlessly, becoming a massive colossus which slammed upon the Nether Storm.

The enormous nature of the earth alone consumed one third of his both energies and his face seem to be pale.

But his already pale face paled even more when his willed earth was crushed and dissolved.

"It's impressive for you to have lasted up to this point. But how about we end this!"

The Nether Storm enlarged once more, surging endlessly and the force swallowing everything around it.

Yu Chen immediately commanded the Voidless zone to appear...
