Space Gate adventures

A while later

Cross was dressed again and sitting in the restaurant when Long Chen arrived saying "Let's go. Banquet time." Cross pointed at himself in shock and Long Chen chuckled as he said "I'm bored." Cross smiled and left the restaurant going to the banquet with Long Chen, they met up with the princess who wanted the Dragon Blood Army people, and another guy.

The Princess was named Yu Qianxue, and the guy was Zhu Yifeng. They went to the gate and were stopped by a plump faced kid, Cross gave him a slap and they continued inside. They came to a palace and a sword flew at Zhu Yifeng, Cross watched as Zhu Yifeng fought back but then was scolded by his mother.

Long Chen did all the talking and resolved the situation between mother and son, the duo embraced and Zhu Yifeng cried. Cross yawned and a bell rang, signifying the start of the feast.

They walked inside and Long Chen traded places with a person next to Yu Qingxuan, Cross threw the guy sitting next to Long Chen out of the palace and sat down. Yu Xiaoyun was grinding his teeth in anger and an old man said "Attends a feast, ignored etiquette, wears casual attire, impolite. Tsk!"

Cross rolled his eyes and Long Chen said "Old man, let me warn you, you better not push me or I won't be polite." Yu Qianxue sat next to Cross and looked at the old man, Cross gave her a look of disdain, making Yu Qianxue's teeth itch in rage.

Long Chen started arguing with the old man, while Cross leaned to the side and whispered in Yu Qianxue's ear, feeling the mood to tease and flirt. He just had a successful and amazing thing happen to him, he could flirt a little, no?"

Yu Qianxue's face blushed, sometimes she covered her mouth and laughed, while other times she was enraged. Suffice to say that Cross was a master of speech, if he wanted someone to be infuriated they would die of anger.

The talking continued until the Zhu Yifeng kid challenged a guy from the Purple Thunder Empire to a battle. Long Chen was angry, apparently the guy he challenged was killed and robbed by Long Chen in the 3000 Worlds, but of course this fucking Weng Tianyao guy was just a clone!

Of course he was, is this a joke?

Cross was expecting Ji Wuming, Jiuyou Luosha, and the others to return from the dead again. Fortunately they were truly dead... Hopefully. If he saw them in the future he would surely be angry that they keep coming back to life over and over again.

Anyway

Weng Tianyao and Zhu Yifeng fought, the result was Zhu Yifeng nearly died. Long Chen was enraged and glared at Weng Tianyao, Long Chen challenged Weng Tianyao to a life and death battle, even saying that if Weng Tianyao lasts 3 moves Long Chen will kill himself in front of everyone.

The old man next to Weng Tianyao refused and someone said that since Yu Qingxuan wasn't engaged he would marry her. Before he could even laugh he became a blood mist. Long Chen punched him into oblivion and charged at Weng Tianyao.

Cross flashed and punched the old man next to Weng Tianyao, two fists collided and the world shook. Three flowers bloomed behind the old man and Cross had his half black half gold crown appear as he punched at the Old man again.

A suffocating aura appeared and Cross smashed the old man flying into the palace walls before returning to his seat with a sneer as Long Chen had Wen Tianyao by the neck. Long Chen killed Weng Tianyao and the Old man coughed up blood and fainted.

The rest of the Empire's who were invited snorted coldly, left some fighting words and left the Empire completely saying that they'll be back. Cross ignored them and was the only one eating, the rest of the Princes and Princesses had fought the other Empire's experts and lost, they were pretty worthless actually.

Only Yu Qingxuan didn't fight. Truthfully this entire trip was a massive waste of time, the only thing that could be good was that maybe he could sneak around the palace and steal their books and treasures.

The banquet ended and Cross left first, he went to the restaurant and changed into a completely black tight fitting suit before sneaking out in the dead of the night. He infiltrated the Palace and snuck through the corridors before coming across a library.

He grinned in excitement and his eyes started spinning as he copied all the knowledge and techniques. He shuttled out of the library and blended into the night sky going towards the sect in the city and stealing all their books too.

He stole all their herbs and their best cauldrons before leaving and returning to the palace, picking up the herbs he didn't have and stealing a male and female 7 colored fish. He packed up and returned to the restaurant before changing and laying in his bed with a satisfied smile.

Another night of robbery was a success!

Actually, he had been robbing the entire city in recent nights. He only left the Huayan Company alone, everyone else though. Forget about it, they couldn't escape the calamity.

A few days later

Cross was dragged by Long Chen to the Palace in front of a space gate. Cross was stunned and said "I didn't close my shop! I'll get robbed!" Long Chen rolled his eyes and said "A stingy guy like you didn't put down a formation to prevent that?" Cross pouted and Long Chen laughed.

They went into the space gate and appeared in a fire world with supreme gravity. Cross was pressured which was a big surprise. He walked forward with the group, who were struggling. Yu Qianxue was struggling to even walk, Cross looked at her and shook his head.

She grinded her teeth and said with difficulty "What are you shaking you head about?" Cross walked over and said "Silly girl, how weak are you? This daddy can walk here on his hands!" Yu Qianxue straightened out and grabbed him shaking him around as she said "I'm not a freak like you, okay!?"

Cross grinned and Yu Qianxue saw that she was resisting the gravity with less difficulty now, Cross spanked her and said "Haha! As expected! My methods are the strongest!" Yu Qianxue turned red and held her plump cheeks as she said hatefully "You! You!" Cross snorted "You what? My fist is bigger than yours. You can only accept it."

He ignored her and walked away to the stairs in the distance, a mini him appeared on his forehead, shining with a black and gold light as he was refining his Primordial Spirit. Basically the Dragon God Body Refining Technique refined the Bones, Blood, Soul, Spirit, Qi, Flesh, and Will.

So far, Cross only refined his Bones, just like Long Chen, but they were both refining their Spirit now. Yu Qianxue bit her lips and chased after Cross saying "I'm going to kill you!" Cross scoffed and continued walking, focusing on refining his Spirit.

He was actually experiencing endless pain, it was worse than his bones! Sweat started accumulating on his forehead. He took a step on the stair case and felt pressure land on him, it was manageable. He continued walking until he came to the 10th step and stayed there.

Long Chen arrived went back and then came back to the 10th step, he walked off the stair case and fell to the ground. Cross laughed and suddenly slipped on his sweat, falling down along with Long Chen.

Cross slammed into the ground and groaned, Long Chen laughed at him and said "Karma's a bitch." Cross gave him the finger and Long Chen chuckled as he started refining his blood. Cross sat down and did the same, leaving his Spirit for now.

His blood suddenly erupted into changing. The Dark Golden-Red blood flashed, the blood separated and became Gold, Red, and Black. The Red became the dominant color and the black and gold intertwined around the red in a spiral, like coiling dragons.

His body was on fire again and his blood was constantly being burned and refined. A strange mixture occurred, Cross was unwilling to abandon his Blood Elf bloodline so he forcefully devoured the black and gold blood completely.

What came out was brilliantly shining Golden-Red blood with black dragons swimming through it. The blood thickened to an almost gooey texture as his blood became much, much, stronger. The blood circulated around his body and his strength started increasing crazily, before his blood started cooling and finally stopped burning.

His blood refining ended there because the pressure just wasn't enough to continue at the same pace, he instead used his new blood to refine his Bones to perfection before attacking his Spirit with both of them in conjunction.

He was in even more pain than before! He continuously refined his Spirit taking a break occasionally for 3 days before the others arrived. Yu Qianxue grabbed Cross and said "You dared to spank this great aunt! Heh! I'll smash your handsome face in today!" Cross sneered and said "Silly girl, this Daddy will bend you over his knee and spank you again, do you believe it?!"

Yu Qianxue's eyes turned red and she said "You!" Cross said "You what? You think I'm too handsome? Hah! How many people have fallen for me? I can't even count them!" Long Chen spat "Shameless!" Cross turned his nose to the air and said "So!? I'm shameless and handsome! Tell me I'm wrong!"

Long Chen laughed and said "Let's go to the second place." the group left and Yu Qianxue was following Cross, muttering curses and glaring at his back, trying to drill a hole in his flesh with her eyes.

Cross sneered and stepped on the second staircase. Long Chen and Cross climbed the stairs, constantly refining their blood, bones, and Primordial Spirit as the pressure got greater and greater. Cross' black Primordial Spirit was shining gold and black, little golden specks were appearing everywhere on his Black Spirit.

The duo reached the 6th step and there was heavy armor there. Long Chen and Cross looked at each other before scrambling to don the heavy training armor. The duo looked like Palace knights wearing the heaviest sets each, stimulating their flesh like crazy as they continued up the stairs and continued refining.

They passed the stair case and went to another stair case.

They continued stepping until they reached the 10th step, the duo were immediately blown back. Cross and Long Chen groaned on the ground at the bottom of the staircase. Long Chen and Cross got up before charging up the stairs again, stunning the group that was on the first step of the Third Staircase.

They were blown back over and over again and Cross shouted "I don't believe it!" he slapped his chest and he immediately transformed into his Void Battle Body state, looking like a monster with a burning crown in the middle of his long horns.

Cross shot up the stairs and roared as he stepped on the 10th step and stood there, resisting the pressure. He stabbed his extra 4 arms into the ground and refined his Bone, Blood, and Spirit like crazy, along with Long Chen, who was also in his Golden Dragon Battle Body.

Cross' battle body was everything in one as he had combined the Black Dragon Battle Body into his Void Battle Body. They both stood there, in their blood small spheres started forming. The Dragon guy said "Hey! Good job! You reached the Dragon God Body Refining Technique first step!"

Cross and Long Chen started cultivating on the 10th step, punching and kicking in the air while refining their bones and blood. Cross' 'Blood Eggs' became black and gold, like little Taichi symbols. Cross and Long Chen reverted to normal and continued to refine, while the others tried to get to the 10th step.

A while later

They finally did and a portal opened up, Demons started flooding in. Cross slapped a demon to ashes and said "Eh? It's a copy?" Long Chen said "Not all of them." he turned around and shouted "Not all of them are copies! Be careful!" Cross looked back and coincidentally locked gazed with Yu Qianxue, he sneered and she grinded her teeth in rage, killing demons even quicker.

Cross' voice traveled to her ears "Don't die. This Daddy will miss spanking your ass." Yu Qianxue's eyes turned red in anger and Cross laughed as he left with Long Chen to the next trials. Yu Qingxuan looked at her sister and pursed her lips in amusement, a sly light appeared in her eyes.

Cross and Long Chen were fighting demons, that were Hierarch Realm! Cross was just Immortal King 3rd level, after that was World King, then Hierarch Realm. But he was smashing these puppets into blood mist and ashes like nobody's business.

Long Chen was confiscating their weapons as the duo continued. they came to a Supreme Hierarch Winged Demon guy, Cross fought against it but left it alive because Long Chen said that the people behind them would have a good time if they just killed everything for them, plus Yu Qingxuan wouldn't get any stronger, which was obviously not good.

Cross complied and they continued up the stairs, the number of Winged Demons multiplied they reached the top and there were hundreds of Winged Demons, Cross and Long Chen started fighting the Demons while the Dragon guy said "Refine your Soul at the same time!"

Cross almost died, how the fuck was he supposed to do that?! He crazily refined his blood, bone, qi, and Spirit. His Spirit had changed to a swirling gold and black Taichi pattern a while ago. His Qi, however, was still pitch black.

He closed his eyes and used his Mantra to feel the Winged Demons, fighting them and starting to calm down and predict the future by 10 seconds. His body entered a strange state and he found himself in his soul space suddenly.

Suddenly, black and gold lights flooded into the soul space. Cross continued fighting the demons in a daze with his eyes closed, hours and hours passed.

Suddenly, in his soul space the Taichi Eggs appeared. The eggs had appeared in his bones, blood, Qi, and Spirit already. Though they weren't visible in his Qi when it was outside his body, in actuality when his Qi travels in his body and circulates it mixes between black and gold, but in the Qi sea its constantly swirling in a Taichi pattern with little eggs floating around all over the place.

Something extremely special was happening to Cross' body because the Taichi symbol was being fed by something IN ADDITION to the Dragon God Body Refining Technique. Cross wasn't sure but he theorized it has something to do with his Elven Blood line and the markings on his face.

Even his Immortal Crystal Supreme Root had a Taichi pattern on it. Something strange was going on, but the thing was... Cross could feel that his body was getting excited at the changes as if it was something incredible!
