Chapter 21

[Lower Realm 14]

The Sect Master of the Sunfire Sect stood there, motionless and frozen from shock. He didn't expect that outcome at all. One moment, his brother's disciple collecting spines and trampling these geniuses beneath his feet, the next moment he died without even retaliating.

He closed his eyes for a moment before he reopened it again. His are slightly red, seeing his brother's last legacy died like that pained him. 'It looks like the sun isn't blessing us in this generation.' he thought as he turned to look at the disciples of his sect.

Their eyes are bloodshot, they clasped their hands till it was white and blood flowing through it. He shook his head that the disciples lost their vigor and hope.

"There are still other disciples in the mystic realm. Don't lose hope." He tried to lighten the mood by encouraging them but his voice is cracked. Which makes it more saddening for the rest of the disciples.

In the Asura Divine Kingdom, the elder who hired that boy to kill Jiang Cheng sneered. It is bad luck of Jiang Cheng to choose that elder to kill and announce his intentions.

The elder in fact, is a person who had achieved a 5th life destruction before he ascended to Divine Sea realm. Not only that, he also formed a battle Spirit, which is an achievement few can do considering this is the lower realm.

Jiang Cheng openly announced that he will kill personally the elder and this gets on his nerves. Seeing himself threatened by a kid from the backwater is a shameful act for him. So he just teach the kid a lesson, a lesson that he will take for the rest of his life. And death.

If Jiang Cheng didn't announce his intentions openly and hide, maybe he will be able to achieve his revenge. Unfortunately, there is no ifs in this world. It is be eaten or eat them.

Ji Xian or famously known as Xiao Moxian in the divine realm sat beside Xiaosheng. She's currently at the 1st Life Destruction realm, behind him by three minor stages.

She's like a kid as she sway her feet because her legs are too short to reach the ground. Yaoyue was taller than her by a large margin.

She watched the countless projection midair, all of it monitored what's happening between all the participants. They all are busy, some are fighting beast, some are deactivating traps and many more.

She somewhat knew the goal of Xiaosheng by holding this competition. Aside from choosing a candidate for a general, she guessed that it might be because he wants to add another collectibles in his possession.

She sighed thinking the past again where Xiaosheng introduced her to his collections. Collections might sound more beautiful but in fact it is the cattle he raised and collects.

Different kinds of divine bodies of humans and demons, shackled by the chains that restricted their cultivations from what she knew of. She didn't think too much about it and she fully supported him.

Brutality and carnage were a common occurance in monster and demon great world. So seeing cattles aren't a surprise for her.

She did asked some questions about it and he answered them honestly which surprised her because what he makes is beneficial for his cultivation technique he practice. She also knew that he liked to experiment some complicated things and discover new wonders she didn't even think of which amazes her.

Xiaosheng liked to experiment and he even tried to create a chimera but remained unsuccessful because of the lack of knowledge and materials. Ji Xian felt her mind buzz when she asked how the chimera would work from the complications and intricateness of it when he explained it for her in 'simple terms'.

But she knew some things that he lacked is the so called "Source" and "Ego". He said that the chimera would only be completed if he can understand the source and create an ego. She didn't understand a single bit of things he said but she fully supported him.

Xiaosheng far outstripped her in terms of cultivation and comprehension. Even mastery over flames, his understanding towards the law is so high that she even get jealous of him. She didn't know how in heavens he can comprehend so many laws.

What she didn't know is that Xiaosheng have the inheritance of the heavenly demon and the heavenly demon is the light himself. And as his inheritor, his understanding towards light is high. The heavenly demon is both primordial and conceptual god of light, and fire is the light that illuminates every living things, planets, realms, etc.

The sun and the stars are example of fire that light planets and things on the universe. So, as of now, darkness isn't his highest law, but fire and light.

But no one knows this, all people in the divine realm knows that he especialize in darkness and the five elements. He fooled everyone, even his family didn't know.

Because what he shown so far in battles is his seemingly infinite reserves, bringing up disasters of lightning and thunder and every natural disaster and his high understanding on the Dao of Darkness and he even comprehend the legendary Dao of Swallowing.

He is the Demonic Dragon Prince, Young Master Long, the heavenly child of the two races, the bringer of disaster.
