Cursus Arc End - Onward to Corrum Continent

Eleonora had similar reaction to Sho Yue. Duan Qiu was the first one to give warmth welcome for her and both ladies got closer during their spars. Their cries of course hurt Xue Ren, but it was not noticeable all because of Blood Art that was in the 'Black Form'.

Doing his best to stay strong, Xue Ren spoke.

"Come here, Eleonora."

He held her hands tightly and imbued the Sword Qi into her. Believing in her talent and destiny as Goddess, Xue Ren knew that his snow beauty soon will get hold of this energy. If she can combine it with her Snow Woman Swordsmanship, then Eleonora for sure will advance and taking care of Emperor won't be a mere dream.

The blood art around his head disappeared and the face of pained Xue Ren greeted her. It shocked the both ladies! Nevertheless, he still spoke reassuring words, wiped the tears and kissed the cold cheek of snow beauty.

"We can only move forward. Let's get stronger together so that no one of us will feel this way again."

Eleonora nodded and took out her sword. The swift movement of her already had a slight release of Black Sword Qi which made Xue Ren to smile lightly. She descended onto the battlefield and began slaughtering every member of Seven Slashes Faction, not caring about her status.

Then, Xue Ren approached little beauty. She hadn't met Duan Qiu, but seeing Xue Ren so caring about his women just caused her to have mixed feelings. Xue Ren was different than most of the men she had met and as she already heard from him that he is going to resurrect his woman at any cost, thus...

"You will definitely resurrect her."

She was both happy and sad.

"I will. Come, here."

Little beauty jumped at him, huggin his dragon's skin. There was no way for it to grind her! Her little hands caressed his cheeks while Xue Ren himself imbued 'Halberd Qi' into her.

"Just as I told earlier. we all must become stronger."

"Yes. Definitely."

Xue Ren hugged her tightly for a while, then stood up. Little beauty looked together with him at the battlefield. Sho Yue and Eleonora truly caused a huge storm with their powers below. Those two ladies were enough to seal the whole battlefield so that no one can escape...

"I am going."

Adrana quietly said and jumped out as well. Like others, she also had to fight and take revenge for Duan Qiu... Xue Ren who saw the battlefield didn't feel anything. The thoughts he had earlier about killing innocent completely got thrown out form his head.

The path to the top is merciless!

"Kuzan."

Xue Ren summoned a small body that was cloaked in fire robe. If one looked from afar, one would imagine this figure to be a small little kid. Xue Ren told Kuzan to enter this body with his consciousness, then peeked at his throne room.

Since Divine Gates broke, the bed was now at the end of the brighest side of the throne room, just below the screen that shows his vision. Above the bed were two balls floating and Xue Ren already knew what those balls are.

Conquer and Devour.

Around those balls of energies, black gems were circling with huge speed! Those, of course, were the energies that Xue Ren got from his women. All of them became black and came under the banner of the sin's energy meaning that the ring on Xue Ren's finger became useless.

After all, thanks to this, no one can recognize those energies as divine... The silver ring from Dragon Goddess became useless, but Xue Ren had no plans of taking it off.

Then, with his mind, Xue Ren gathered his attention on the one of the gems. It was black gem that had something akin to lightning inside... He summoned it outside of the throne room...

Kuzan already was inside the small body, getting angry at Xue Ren. Why did he summon the brat's body? Was it another form of bullying? As he peeked above, he saw Xue Ren's face that still had trails of crying... Because of that, he clicked his tongue and stayed silent.

Boom! The gem appeared above Xue Ren's hand and seeing it, Kuzan eyes went wide. It was divine gem! Xue Ren pressed this gem against Kuzan's forehead and it entered his body easily, assimilating with it.

The sudden surge of energy, the divine lightning that made his body to feel so hot... It was feeling as if alive... Kuzan couldn't help, but tremble as the excitement spread on his whole face. It looked quite scary with his small posture and fire body.

"Hahhahahah~~ Finally! Finally I can have some fun! Not some fucking Chuck Norrissu smashes!"

"Go and tell Rure about situation. I am sure he will go and attack swordsmen to win the favour for Burie. He can kill them, but swords are all my."

"Got it."

Kuzan jumped off from the broken gates and in the mid-air, he summoned a huge army of divine lightning dragon's. Those dragon's like arrows Xue Ren had shot before, descended upon the swordsmen that had either survived the assault or were running.

"Hahahah~~ Come, dogshits."

ROAAAAAAR!

-

Rure as Xue Ren has guessed was at first stupefied. The sudden fire arrows made him remember about the fight that had happened earlier. Then, seeing the huge tigress attacking the members of Seven Slashes faction caused him to feel horror.

The black tigress was so strong he couldn't probe its strength! She was slaughtering everyone with either tearing apart their heads or smashing their bodies into lump of meats with her paw. Sometimes, her body flashed and disappeared immediately appearing somewhere else, sometines she slowed everything around her so much that the swordsmen were moving as if in slow motion!

Sho Yue was strong indeed. Close to one winged, that's for sure~~

Soon, Eleonora joined as well. With her coldness, she froze the most way to escape and the slaughter also began. Her sword dance was as beautiful and merciless as her! The more she fought, the more black energy began coming of from her sword.

Eleonora herself was quickly advancing!

And as he saw his sister joining them, Rure knew what is going on!

"We are going in! Heh! Burie, watch me!"

"Heh~~ Little vampire. Before you go, let me warn you~~"

Kuzan quickly stopped Rure and told him about swords. Rure nodded knowing what is going on and tugged Warles to go in. Since Seven Slashes Faction with Neydon had been so aggresive, killing their members, they had to answer with the very same aggression!

"Let's go! Mooooo!"

""Mooooooo!""

-

Xue Ren approached the 'Bitch Empress' who had the same looks like Rannes which caused Xue Ren to feel even more anger. She was surrounded by her sons that were on purple rank power. Someone like them couldn't even survive the pressure that was coming from Xue Ren and his sin's energy!

As they fainted, Xue Ren spoke briefly.

"Do YoU KnoW YoUr Sin?"

"...Is she dead?"

Stab! Xue Ren stabbed her shoulder for such answer. Answering him, the sin of pride with question? Empress twisted her face in huge pain as the red Spear Qi circled around like drill going deeper with each second.

"WhoRe, you have given birth to another bitch. That's your fucking sin. Now, join her in hell! Kyahahahah!"

Empress glanced at the battlefield. She herself had a lot of sons just like her husband wanted. That's why even here, she could see her children running hopelessly to survive for even second longer... Still, has she loved them like Rannes?

The answer was no! The princess was so similar to her that the Empress has given her the most love and the thought of her becoming weapon for Cursus Empire was non existent. That's why she had let her do whatever she wanted, that's why she had let her be with Neydon even though she had suspicious impression of him.

To the point where she was fine selling her body and faction! Thus, without Rannes, the Empress herself has lost the will to live. She only let the devil before her eyes to stabb her incessantly, doing her best to keep her screams inside her.

Soon, Xue Ren stopped the stabbing as if he vented enough anger. The lifeless eyes of empress couldn't even look at him without any strength and desire to life. Her one eye was blind due to blood, then other one that was barely holding suddenly got overshadowed by something big and black... The most painful thing quickly descended upon her face...

"HaVe A Safe TriP~~ Kyahahahahah~~"

Raising his leg, Xue Ren pressed it against her face and grinding began once more... The sons that had fallen unconscious together with guards also had gotten the same treatment leaving the whole place covered in flesh, meat and blood...

-

The battle was only between two factions and unknown force that shook the whole capital. There were few people who had assumptions that it was indeed Xue Ren for example Empress Nolea! That's why she hadn't moved during all of this.

Xue Ren himself has gotten every sword from the Seven Slashes Faction, then had plundered their all resources. However, compared to the resources from Divine Grace, those crystals, swords and everything else was not really useful for Xue Ren.

There were also some kind of barriers and stuff that could be useful for Rure and Eleonora, thus, he passed it for them.

Still, Xue Ren plans to gather a lot of those 'resources' in order to be able to move between worlds. And in this very moment, he had the same thoughts like Neydon.

'The Cursus Empire isn't the only Empire that had won Divine Grace.'

-

Xue Ren had spent all his time with his women. They all needed each other after all. He had also visited Dionnes and the only regret he had was that he couldn't visit Di Xun. Even with all those resources... It also made Xue Ren to wonder just what kind of books this librarian had. Little did he know that Zhi Shendra had only five of those and they were important just like his life.

Also all those swords were shit compared to Uris' Sword Qi that is fueling the Divine Sword of Duan Qiu. Together with memories from Higher World, Xue Ren knew how naive and stupid he was... That's why it was time to move forward...

Standing on the cliff, the huge vast ocean greeted him and his ladies.

"Demonic race. They are low and shit yet dared to plot against my women two times."

""...""

"The time has come to take care of them and their hell's energy~~"

Xue Ren turned around and said final good bye. He had done everything he could to help them get stronger with help of his third past self. Cuddling and light kissing for a while, Xue Ren waved his hand and clad himself in his 'black blood art'.

"We will meet sooner than you think. Train hard, my beauties."

""Yes. Please, don't die.""

"Heh~~ No need to be worried. I have a lot of new tricks."

-

Cursus and Corrum Continents are twin continents. They are close, thus, demonic race can easily arrive here using ships fueled by crystals and other resources. That's why, Xue Ren knew that he can afford to run there on his own!

"Once I gather enough resources, I will go above and find a way to resurrect her without reaching those thrones."

With Uris memories, Xue Ren knew that there are more ways to resurrect someone, but that's all. He didn't know how. Of course, the path towards the top is important, but desire to see Duan Qiu as soon as possible was as important as this path.

Moving on the water without any problems for more than half a day, Xue Ren finally spotted someone. It was big ship of Violae Empire, going straight to Cursus Continent! Xue Ren chuckled which made his blood art to look even more scary.

The fire spear immediately appeared, shaft like two dragons colling between each other. Xue Ren swung it down, spliting the ocean into two... As the ship fell to the ground, the devil's laugh reverberated throughout the ocean...

"You have nice ship there~~ I am taking it... JusT liKe YouR LiVes~~ Kyahahaha~~"
