Chapter 11: ways of Slaughter

"I am called Asura God."

"You must be surprised to see me here, right?"

"Huh... Of course, I'm surprised".

Tian replies with a curious gaze cause he is surprised to see one of the mysterious people that created him standing before him.

"You don't have to overthink. We are truly dead; this is just a clone created by "slaughter law" Once I'm done with my responsibility, I will return to nature."

"Huh, hold on... What is slaughter law?"

"Well, you've comprehended slaughter energy in the illusion you were in earlier, but as for "Law," that is not something you can know for now."

"I see... So that energy I felt earlier in the illusion was called slaughter energy, and Law is something I can't know for now? I will forget about it since I can't know it for now."

Tian muttered to himself in a contemplating tone.

Asura God looked at him with interest while nodding his head in approval.

"I'm happy to see you haven't disappointed us so far; assuming you let yourself be consumed by slaughter qi, then you truly will have to die."

"The Dao of the heart is very complicated, and those who let their hearts be consumed cannot reach the peak."

"So you mean a stable heart is needed to walk the cultivation journey to the peak?"

"Hahaha... The peak? You are a naive boy."

"Which expert can claim they've reached the peak? No one in this vast universe can claim such".

"And why is that, if I may ask?"

"Because the Dao is limitless, the people come and go; nothing can escape the test of time; many understand various Dao and yearn to see its end, but who could claim to have reached it? No one, as everyone, is merely a boat on the never-ending, violent sea, hoping to see the shore. However, since this is the case, who dares claim to see the shore, much alone arrive at the shore? What counts most is how far one can travel on this never-ending, turbulent sea, not whether or not one can sight the land. Only those who have traveled the farthest are known as experts among experts in the infinite Dao."

Tian became confused and lost; these words sounded new to him, and they completely overturned all he had learned so far.

Asura God gave Tian some time to assimilate this information.

Everything became silent for a few minutes.

"Sigh... I understand now only those with a firm Dao heart can walk the furthest, right?"

Tian asked with an enlightened smile on his face.

"Right!!!!!"

Asura God answers him with a smile on his face before he continues.

"My time is almost up here, my mission here is to give you three things my first gift is to help you comprehend the slaughter way which is accomplished, and my second gift is this book, while my third gift is this spear which will be your dao weapon."

"This first floor consists of the lowest form of supreme energy, and the gravity here can help you cultivate your body and energy faster if you are. Luckily enough, you might be able to comprehend gravity energy; also, the time here is ten times faster than the outside world; the others are waiting for you on the upper floors; good luck, boy."

The Asura God dissipates into thin with an expressionless face. No emotions can be found on his face.

Tian was speechless and, at the same time sad, then suddenly; he felt the energy in the floor become abundant; breathing it in made his body feel alive, and he felt his body become a little stronger just by breathing in the energy, focusing his gaze on the two objects floating in front of him.

He walks toward the spear, feeling the aura emitting, making his heart race excitedly like a man who met his lover.

He felt a terrifying bloodlust aura that could consume any soul and a strong domineering WILL that won't accept any form of suppression.

This feeling sparks the flame of war in Tian's heart, and his blood begins to boil; he starts walking toward the spear, but the closer he gets to the spear, the aura becomes heavy that he finds it hard to breathe.

"Snort..... Trying to suppress me? In your dream."

Realizing that the spear Will was trying to intimidate him, a stronger Will emerged from his heart, a Will that would fight against heaven if heaven blocked his path, trample the earth, and will kill the devils and gods if they dared hinder his way, Immediately this Will appear the spear retract his aura and stand still, it looks tame.

Tian also retracts his aura before arriving in front of the spear with a sharp gaze; he then places his palm on the spear's tip, and blood starts dripping out from it on the spear, and the blood is absorbed by it.

Tian took a step back before a wild, bloodlust draconic aura exploded from the spear, a dragon manifestation appeared behind the spear, and the dragon had a pure black scale with blood-red eyes; it looked like the embodiment of darkness, then the dragon raised his head and roars to the sky, it looks like its showing his WILL of not accepting any form of suppression before gazing directing into Tian eye and it disappears back into the spear.

At first, Tian was surprised, but when the dragon gazed into his eye, he felt a deep connection with the spear. He started laughing out loud like a madman, echoing throughout the hall.

Hahahahahahah...

He took a deep breath and calmed the excitement in his mind, he stretched out his hand, and the spear flew to his hand; immediately, he held the spear; his shoulder dropped down a little before he regained his footing; he realized how heavy the spear was, it has heavy has three mountain combine, knowing how serious the spear is Tian became happy and started studying the spear closely.

He noticed multiple black runes around the spear, and the rune was helping the spear to absorb the outside energy. Realization dawn on Tian and immediate information about the spear appear in his mind.

"Ohhh… so you can cultivate yourself? You can also absorb enemies' essence and death energy to level up."

Tian said to himself while his gaze was on the spear. A Machiavellian smile appeared on his face before the spear disappeared into his body.

Yes... He can store the spear in his body cause the moment he drips his blood on it, it becomes his soul weapon and will grow endlessly along with Tian. So it can be stored in his soul; he can control the spear with his thought now.

After Tian was satisfied with his gain, he directed his gaze to the floating book that gave off the aura of endless mystery; it had a plain cover with no word or description on it; it looked so ancient and useless, to be honest, if not cause of the aura Tian felt from it he will have thought this book is worthless.

But he had no such thought since this book was given to him by someone like Asura God.

So he walks toward the book and drips a drop of his blood on it; immediately, the book absorbs the blood it disappears.

Tian jumped in shock; then he became confused; all of a sudden, a terrifying pain assaulted his head like his head was going to split apart in a moment; this pain was so much that his face became white, and he clutched his head with his hand before he started rolling on the floor, he was screaming and rolling on the floor before he fainted after he couldn't endure the pain anymore.

After four days, Tian woke up.

"Huh... Am I still alive? Dammit, what was that pain all about then? Fuck I thought I was going to die earlier, but what could have caused the pain?"

Tian woke up angrily and started thinking of a reason for the unbearable pain he felt earlier.

Click...

"Damn, it must have been caused by that fucking book, fuck... that book almost took my fucking life."

Suddenly his eyes lost all color, and his body became

motionless.

Tian finds himself in the middle of the Milky Way (galaxy). The universe was revolving around him, and in front of him was the book that caused him so much pain floating in the air; suddenly, the book opened, and a word resounded throughout the whole galaxy he was in; Tian was shocked by the word he heard.
