At the last moment of his life he smile and think that his life journey had come to an end yet to found out it’s just a new beginning.

[An old apartment on the suburbs of Xiwang City]
While the whole city was in an uproar during the night after the case of the Lin family, one certain person had no excitement or gossip to spread. In a dimly lit room, some cups of instant yakisoba noodles were present on a small table. A small but old PC laptop was present on the desk. There were some old but clean clothes present on the bed.
TING!
A notification saying "Your current account balance is 1,000,011,232.72 yuan" popped up on the screen of an old and cracked smartphone.
Hearing the sound, a perfectly tuned figure walked into the room. He had only a pair of pants on. Each and every part of his body was covered in perfect muscles. His skin was smooth with no faults. His body was sweating as a result of exercise.
This person, Ye Chen, was looking at the phone and smiling.
{DING! System has detected that host has finished what he wants to do. Therefore, the task of integrating the Dark Blade into the host will be given. Mission reward :- A private area as well as a house in Xiwang City's most heavily priced area.>The papers regarding the ownership of the car and such will be taken care of by the system<}
"Dark Blade Integration? Come to think of it, the system gave me something called Dark Blade. I've never checked it out, but I've been using that name as a hacker, though. WOW! A private area and a house? THAT'S AWESOME!", said Ye Chen.
Since no one was around, Ye Chen asked normally, "System, how do I integrate the Dark Blade into myself?"
{DING! Host can receive the Dark Blade by summoning it using willpower. However, to truly own the blade, the host has to pierce his own heart with the blade.}
"FU*K," Ye Chen frowned.
However he still tried what the system told him, because the system never failed him.
Concentrating his willpower, Ye Chen said in his mind, "Dark Blade."
A black katana darker than the blackest shadows appeared in font of Ye Chen. He grabbed it and, without hesitation, drove it into his own heart.
SLICE!
The blade of the katana sliced through his heart and went through him. However, the expected pain didn't appear.
SIZZLE!
Black flames with a size of nearly 10cm burned on the blade. The pain of being burnt by hellish flames made Ye Chen scream with pain. Even with his special body, the pain still made him scream.
The Dark Blade turned into smoke and it entered his body. The pain disappeared.
{DING! Host has completed integration into the Dark Blade. Reward can be received now.}
A key and a few contract papers appeared in his hand. He looked at it, and sure enough, it was written as Xiwang City.
Ye Chen suddenly felt that he was itching all over his back as well as his right arm.
"THE HELL?", yelled Ye Chen.
His right biceps had a black tattoo of a realistic katana and the words "DARK BLADE" was engraved beside it.
"Well, I guess it isn't that bad," he said after examining it thoroughly.
A sudden possibility struck him and he rushed into the bathroom.
He turned in front of the bathroom mirror and was stunned by what he saw.
"FU*KING HELL!"
A katana, a dragon and a phoenix.
A katana with its head on the top part of his body had a black blade which ran along his spine and ended right before it reached his bottom.
There was a chinese dragon which was encircling around the blade and its head stopped at the top part of his blade and left of his back. Meanwhile, the phoenix was flying and it's head was near the right part of his back and top of the blade.
This tattoo, made entirely with black color had a realistic feeling, as if they could come alive any moment.
At this moment, he realized that the so-called Dark Blade wasn't any ordinary katana.
"System, can you show me the information about this katana?"
{DING! Host's Weapon Information:-
Name >Dark Blade<
Type of Weapon >Powers of Darkness-Katana-Soul Spirit weapon<(Soul Spirit weapons can upgrade along with their owner. The Dark Blade uses the power of dark souls as a way to strengthen itself.)
Alt Names >Emperor of the night<>Judge of Darkness< >Silver Emperor(Old Title)<
Origin >Made from a specialized type of iron melted and boiled until it was extremely pure and free of evil, the dark blade was corrupted by accidently absorbing a strand of condensed evil containing the dark opposites of every being in existence. After corruption, it was taken away and sealed in a sea of dark flames in hell, where it was purified. However, the pure silver katana had turned into a dark black color and had absorbed the dark flames, making it impossible to wield it. (Host can freely integrate because of host's Immortal Body.) It was finally given the name "The Dark Blade" (System can only provide this much information).<
Powers (1/7):-
>Two Souls for one - Host can temporarily use the powers of the Dark Blade. After receiving skills "Emperor of the night" and "True Master of the Dark Blade", host will upgrade to ultimate form and finally bind entire soul with the Dark Blade and use powers without limits.<(Skill Gained)
>Eye of truth - Host can see the souls of beings in black and white. Gray is normal, while white can be seen only in babies. Black souls indicate that the person has gone beyond the point of return and host should take care to immediately eliminate them.<
>Dark Flames - Once the blade/host has made even a slight wound on the enemy, the dark flames will burn him alive. However, souls and bodies that have less than 50% black cannot be burned.<
>Another Chance at life - Host can present an opportunity to repent and regret to those who are less than 50% black.<
>King of shadows - Host can merge and travel though the shadows.<
>Emperor of the night (Only after integration of above three) - Host can sense anything and everything happening in the shadows during daytime and nighttime. Range is limited to 1 km. Host can also use this skill to directly burn black souls walking in the shadows without moving from current position.<
>True Master of the Dark Blade - After killing those who do not deserve to live, host can upgrade all other skills so that they can change into their ultimate forms and make host fully become one with the dark blade.<
A wave of information entered Ye Chen's mind. He thought for a while and frowned. "System, is there a way to upgrade these skills the same way as my Immortal Body?"
{DING! The dark blade is a separate entity from the system. System will only be able to upgrade Dark Blade to it's highest form after host has awakened skill "True Master of the Dark Blade"."}
"Eh? But if need to get that skill I'll have to upgrade all other skills first.... Are you fu*king with me, system?"
{DING! System is not gay and system does not have a physical body. Therefore, system cannot fu*k with host}
"System?"
{DING! Does host have any doubts?}
"P*ss off."

"There is no meaning to light without darkness."


Bullied by those stronger and richer than him, Ye Chen finally commits suicide. His special identity of a Fateless urges the powers of darkness to give him another chance at life. Bound with the D.A.R.K system, he promises to rise from the shadows and merges with the night, becoming the one and only owner of the Dark Blade.


>Data Analysis and Reforming King System (D.A.R.K System) is a special existence from a parallel universe.Fateless is a special soul of one in a billion who can create their own fate rather than following the fate that was made for them. A single deed of a Fateless can disrupt the entire fate of another person.

"What's happening?" Shocked, Lin Jie let out a gasp as he saw Broken Blade emitting rays of light. Meanwhile, the two priceless weapons transformed into gusts of energy and shot into Broken Blade's body!
It was understandable that Lin Jie was alarmed!
After all, the Dark Gold Wand fragment was a really popular item among the gaming community now, where Mages were the majority. Meanwhile, the Thunderbolt Sword was a true Sub-Legendary fragment—just think, how many pieces of Sub-Legendary fragments had appeared in the whole of The New Age till now? Should Lin Jie sell these, they would be auctioned for a few hundred thousand of gold coins!
Yet now, both weapons were simply engulfed by Broken Blade?!
Whoosh— Whoosh— 
Broken Blade vibrated vehemently, and various lumps appeared on its body. It looked like someone who had eaten food that was hard to digest, and hence all of the food was accumulated into big lumps and ended up remaining at various parts in his body. 
In pain, Broken Blade flew about wildly, and several gusts of blade auras slit past Lin Jie's chest!
"Enchanted Scaly Armor, Holy Light Winged Armor!"
Lin Jie's body made a reflex action before he even thought of what to do. After all, he was well-trained in the ways of a Warrior. Both skills were activated almost instantaneously. The Enchanted Scaly Armor covered the surface of his body with hard scales, while the Holy Light Winged Armor allowed him to slide backward at high speed.
Even so, Broken Blade still left a hideous scar upon the Kiara Beast King Armor.
-2,182!
"F*ck!" Lin Jie couldn't help but curse. To what extent had this Broken Blade upgraded itself to, to cause such high damage to him with just a Flat Cut? And he already had such high Defense!
Whoosh!
After Broken Blade's first slash, it seemed to become weaker in its strength. However, the lumps on its body grew bigger and closer. Lin Jie pondered for a while, and taking a Gold weapon out of his backpack, he stabbed it down on Broken Blade's body.
Whoosh—
After that attack, Broken Blade stumbled and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the lumps on its body finally merged together. Broken Blade then spewed out a metallic, blade-like item.
'What is…?' Lin Jie still felt somewhat alarmed as he picked up both items and examined their attributes.

'After absorbing the Seaheart Pearl, Broken Blade's attributes have indeed increased by a huge extent. Its attributes were comparable to even Dark Gold weapons,' thought Lin Jie as he stared at Broken Blade in surprise. 
'However, I remember the Seaheart Pearl's effect shouldn't be just like this. In my previous life, Broken Blade's growth was around 10 times more than the present after it engulfed the Seaheart Pearl. Unless… Broken Blade's quality is still too low now, and cannot absorb all of the Seaheart Pearl's powers?'
It was a confirmed fact that Broken Blade's attributes would increase after absorbing the Seaheart Pearl. Yet the rate of its growth puzzled Lin Jie—it definitely did not upgrade as much as in his previous life! Before he made sense of what really happened, Lin Jie could only reason that Broken Blade's quality must still be too inferior.
Then… What would this blade-like weapon be?
[Metallic Supplementary Sword] (Gold)

"!!!!!!"
A Supplementary Sword!
And this Metallic Supplementary Sword seemed like a supplementary weapon of Broken Blade.
'Oh, I get it, I get it now!' After seeing the 'supplementary sword' label, Lin Jie finally understood what had happened. He couldn't help but exclaim, "It has to do with the blades, the blades! In my previous life, I had upgraded Broken Blade by means of Smithing and Enhancement, and I would merge all sorts of materials into Broken Blade. As such, the breaking of its seals was not as complete as it ought to be. However, this time, I found the crux to its upgrading—the blades! This is the most accurate 'key' for breaking apart its seals! As such, Broken Blade is now purer than in my previous life! It's really the other way round—Broken Blade was unable to digest those materials before as thoroughly as now fully!"
That's right! This Metallic Supplementary Sword was the product formed by the accumulation of numerous rare materials being fed to Broken Blade previously, which had not yet digested fully. With the powers of the Light Unicorn Lion's horn and the Seaheart Pearl, all the essence of those materials were now digested, and hence, Broken Blade was able to make such a supplementary sword.
In his previous life, Lin Jie had been clueless about Broken Blade's marvelous attributes, and he had blindly thought that he could break Broken Blade's seals as long as he fed it with all sorts of rare materials. That was why the progress of breaking seals on Broken Blade had stopped at such a low completion rate. However, in this life, Broken Blade had reached new heights!
Lin Jie equipped both Broken Blade and the Supplementary Sword. Immediately, a shimmering, gold-lit Broken Blade appeared in his left hand. It was extremely sharp and looked really sturdy, and the lights reflected from its broken parts seemed like they were ready to lash out at anyone else. Meanwhile, a bright Supplementary Sword around half a meter long appeared in his right hand. Both swords complemented each other perfectly, dazzling people as they passed by!
Yet, these two weapons were far more powerful than what was seen!
Dual Wield was an exclusive skill of Berserkers and Bandits. Every weapon had their designated intervals between attacks, and if a player wielded two weapons, which had intervals of three seconds respectively, the player would likely choose to attack and change weapons every 1.5 seconds.
Yet this Supplementary Sword did not have its own interval between attacks when someone equipped it together with Broken Blade! The Supplementary Sword could be used for attacking opponents every time Broken Blade launched its attack. Coupled with that, it would reduce Broken Blade's attack intervals by 50%!
What did this signify? Imagine Lin Jie was a Warrior who had 100 AP and had Dual Wield. Another Warrior with his same Stats but with two different weapons would be able to cause around 200 points of damage every three seconds. Yet Lin Jie would be able to deal out 300 points every three seconds if he equipped himself with Broken Blade and its Supplementary Sword!
 This was akin to increasing his attack efficiency by 50%!
At the same time, Lin Jie's AP had also increased to his newest maximum of 917-1,223! His health bar's upper limit was increased to 3,948 points—this was definitely scary, considering that he was only a Warrior.
Ordinary players would be recognized as 'experts' for having an AP of 500 points, while Shield Specialists would be considered as 'blood bulls' if they had more than 2,500 points for their HP! Yet now, Lin Jie had surpassed both standards. Not to mention, he also possessed the super-strong Holy Light Winged Armor and Enchanted Scaly Armor. It almost seemed like no one could ever take him down!
'Well, in any case, it means that I cannot upgrade Broken Blade by just feeding it rare materials now!' Realization dawned upon Lin Jie. In this life, he had obviously taken the correct path with regards to upgrading Broken Blade. However, the process would only get tougher as Broken Blade continued its evolution!
This meant that if Lin Jie did not manage to find the next blade, he would never be able to upgrade Broken Blade, no matter the number of precious materials he fed Broken Blade with. At most, they could only be used to enhance Broken Blade's Supplementary Sword. 
In other words, Broken Blade had now reached its bottleneck.
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Jie muttered to himself, "Eighteen Massacres… Seems like you have to die a few more times. It was a pity that the blade was not spawned from you last time, you were lucky…"
...…
At the Dark Shrine.
Eighteen Massacres stood respectfully beneath the throne, his eyes closed tightly and praying fervently. This was the routine job of every Dark Shrine's follower. Only after seven consecutive days of such praying would players be rewarded with the 'Dark Holy Water', which could help sustain the Dark Shrine's followers.
To be honest, players who were followers of the Dark Shrine did not fare well at the Guild of Light. As players, the guild would, of course, not close their cities to them. However, the Dark Shrine players' taxes were increased by 200% at all the main cities. This meant that it would cost them a hefty amount, even if they just wanted to repair their weapons.
Meanwhile, they would always have to be on their guard when they were in the wild. After all, the Dark Shrine players were like pests to other players. Not only would other players not get red names after they killed the Dark Shrine players, but they would also even be given handsome rewards!
As a form of repayment, and perhaps also to prove the stereotypical point that 'one can get great powers if he or she exchanges their souls to the demon', the Dark Shrine players could consume the Dark Holy Water once per week. It would increase their Stats randomly. Over time, the Dark Shrine players would naturally have far better Stats than ordinary players! 
Of course, there was always the possibility of increasing Stats not applicable to one's job. For example, a Dark Shrine Mage might get a few hundred Strength points…
"Great, my loyal believer. This is my gift to you—a special gift. Drink it!" A voice like thunder boomed out from the throne above. The next moment, Eighteen Massacres found a cup of Dark Holy Water floating towards his mouth.
Although Eighteen Massacres was curious as to why the usually cold Blood Tyrant would speak to him, he did not hesitate in his actions. The cup of Dark Holy Water was gone in a gulp.
Ding~
—'You consumed the Dark Holy Water. Your Health bar's upper limit is increased by 150 points, and your Strength is increased by 35 points.' 
Consuming the Dark Holy Water would allow players to increase in one particular Stats randomly, and that Stats would increase by around two to seven points. There was a 90% chance that the Dark Holy Water would only increase a player's single Stats by two points.
However, as a power-hungry person, Eighteen Massacres had made use of everything possible to become the Dark Shrine's Advanced Believer. As such, there were some adjustments to the rate of his increase in Stats when he consumed the Dark Holy Water: he had a very low chance of enjoying a surge in his Stats! Meanwhile, each time he consumed the Dark Holy Water, a minimal of two of his Stats would be increased, and the rate of increase of his Stats would be at least by three points and above.
"Haha… Haha, HAHA!" Eighteen Massacres was so elated that he almost wanted to jump up straight away and cheer loudly! So, this was the meaning of the 'special gift'! Wth, it was like the enhanced version of the normal Dark Holy Water, and one would almost be comparable to leveling up by five or six levels if he or she consumed it!
His adventures in the Dark were not inferior to Lin Jie's achievements during this period of time. Moreover, he could consume the Dark Holy Water every week—but he was still vexed by the fact that he could never beat Lin Jie.
The Legendary Blood Tyrant, the Blood Sub-Shrine's ruler, one of the 12 sub-shrines of the Dark Shrine, now sat upon the throne.
He was one of the most radical figures in the Dark Shrine who pushed for war with the Guild of Light. In fact, he was Blood Swamp's creator! However, since that map had been ruined by Lin Jie and Wantless, his plan to conquer the Guild was now interrupted.
"Hmph, my loyal believer, don't be overly excited! This shall be the only time I bestow you a special gift." The Blood Tyrant made a hissing sound, and a figure around the height of five grown men stood up in the shadows. The figure had two bloody curled horns on its head, and its fangs were drooping over its mouth to its chest. Savage vibes enshrouded the space.
"I had sent out 10,000+ Blood Ghosts, Fiery Ghosts and Curse Ghosts to kill all of the 30,000 Paladin Army from the Guild and massacre tens of small towns. They had painstakingly built up the Blood Swamp for me, yet it was ruined by a worthless human being from the alternate realms! The Blood Wizard, who was under my commands, was also killed. Darn it! The Blood Wizard was originally the City Leader of Sunshine City before he died. If only I could make his soul fall to the Dark, I would be able to absorb it and gain more powers. Yet now he was used by others, despite all my efforts!" said the Blood Tyrant. 
Immediately, a thick waft of bloody smell filled the shrine, as if it was enshrouded by bloody clouds and bloody seas. Everything was covered in blood.
"You, my loyal believer, since you managed to enslave the good-for-nothing Demonic Dragon Moratti, I hereby invite you to join the Blood Sub-Shrine. Naturally, I will reward you handsomely. However, I have to make things clear—at the Dark Shrine, everything is dependent on your own abilities. You are indeed skilled in being able to kill your own mentor and gain all those skills. I'll have nothing to comment even if you were to kill me one day and become the next Blood Tyrant—because that's your own abilities!" 
"Now, I shall give you a mission. From reliable sources, I got to know that a scroll of the Secret Techniques of Clomaros has now appeared. This is my Master Blood Token. Take it, and you shall bring me that scroll of Secret Techniques of Clomaros. Go now, since your powers have increased greatly!"
"Yes, my revered King!"


Battle Emperor Fu Sheng is the most popular player in the game, The New Age. Everyone believes that only he will become the champion in the final battle! His real name—Lin Jie. The reason for his participation in the battle is to win the Capsule of Revitalization for his injured mother and sister. With the Broken Blade, a Heritage weapon, in hand, he finally makes it to the final battle! Only then does he realize that his best friend had betrayed him! After his devastating defeat, Lin Jie is shocked to realize that he had time-travelled all the way back to a few years ago when the beta version of The New Age was just about to launch! 

With all my knowledge of the game...
Pros on the leaderboard? All of them my underlings!
First kill of a BOSS? Mine!
First clear of the exclusive dungeon? Still mine!

Whatever I lost in the past, I’ll get them all back!
Whoever brought me trouble, you’re as good as dead!
When I have the chance to do it all over again, I WILL BE EMPEROR!

I am Fu Sheng, the STRONGEST warrior in The New Age. No one, absolutely no one, can stand before me!

Staring at Borg who was in the air, the Legendary Sword Sage Baldela sighed gently. Although the battle seemed to be for revenge, there actually wasn't another option for the Dark Blade. As early as half a year ago, a message came from the Malfa Family, saying that Cheyenne was returning to Aminya City with the treasures that he had obtained in the Sky Castle. 
It was likely that the Malfa Family would surpass the Dark Blade within a short period of time. Given the feud between the two families, the Malfa Family would definitely destroy the Dark Blade when the time came. Instead of sitting back and doing nothing, they might as well try to get rid of the Tower of Dusk that did not have a leader at the moment. Otherwise,it would only be a matter of time before the Malfa Family killed them. By then, the Dark Blade wouldn't have a chance to make a comeback. 
Actually, deep down, Baldela did detest Stephen to a certain extent. Had Stephen not launched an attack halfway through the journey and fallen out with Felic, they wouldn't have had to retreat early. After all, they had already been in the last realm of the Seven-Realm Spiral, and they might have obtained some treasures that would at least have let them have half of the Malfa Family's spoils. 
Unfortunately, there was no point in thinking about that now. All they could do was destroy the Tower of Dusk first. Fortunately for them, the young President Lin Li was not around at this time; hence, they could not be compared to the Dark Blade at all. They were simply holding on and enduring by relying on the setups in the tower. It was only a matter of time before they got destroyed. Baldela got a grip on himself, and Combat Energy was emitted from his double-edged sword, after which he dashed towards the Alchemy Colossus menacingly… 
After all, the Dark Blade had been in business for hundreds of years, and the Tower of Dusk had only been established less than two years ago. Despite the benefits provided by the President Lin Li, they still lacked competent manpower. The mages of the Tower of Dusk were indeed very talented in magic, and, in fact, plenty of them were very likely to become Legendary-mages. However, before that, Archmages would still be Archmages, after all. Their outstanding talent would not allow them to possess extraordinary power.
On the other hand, the Dark Blade had plenty of Mages, Warriors, Bandits, and members of various other professions even though they were not too talented. Perhaps some of them were only at level-15, while others would never reach the Legendary-realm. However, it did not matter as long as they were stronger than their opponents at hand. If they could kill the opponents, who would care if they were Legendary-mages?
Facing the crazy attack of the members of the Dark Blade, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were being outclassed even though they tried their best to resist. After all, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and they were outnumbered too. 
Gavin was watching the battlefield anxiously. Although the Tower of Dusk had suffered less damage than the Dark Blade, unlike the Dark Blade, they could not afford to sustain any damage. 
During the consecutive intense battles, the lives of more than 10 young mages had already been lost; God knew how many of them might've become Archmages and Legendary-mages. Whenever he thought of the lives that had been lost, Gavin would feel a heart-wrenching pain in his chest. He thought, Is the President really not going to come back? If he comes back, how am I supposed to answer him? 
Almost all of the mages of the Tower of Dusk were injured, and Gavin's chest was oozing with blood that stained his bandage. However, he was still holding onto the magic staff and waving it around without any expression, casting spell after spell on the enemies. The pharmacist Wilkinson's magic robe was stained with blood, but instead of healing potions, he ingested potions that had been infused with mana. Gerian, whose arm was crippled, scurried out and cast spells while wielding his magic staff. 
Even Gavin, the commander who stood in the center, was attacked and deeply wounded by an assassin of the Dark Blade. However, he could not be bothered to put on a bandage, and simply used magic to freeze his wound, after which he continued to command the mages to get them to proceed with the attack. 
"If you must blame someone, blame your President. This is the disaster he brought on you! One day, some of you will become Undead creatures. Greet him on my behalf when you have the opportunity to do so." Borg laughed maniacally, sending a cold chill down their spines. 
However, at this moment, a massive mana wave suddenly erupted in the sky, sweeping the entire battlefield like a storm. In the battlefield, the two sides paused in unison as fear made them tremble uncontrollably. 
As the terrifying mana appeared, they realized that there were only two colors they could see. Be it on the ground beneath them or the sky above, everything turned black and white. It was so oppressive that they were on the verge of despair, as if it was almost the end of the world. 
The blurry figure in the white sky seemed extremely gigantic to them, just as if they were just insignificant ants. The suffocating mana wave seemed so extremely overbearing that none of them dared to retaliate. 
Lin Li floated quietly over the top of the Tower of Dusk, looking down at the battlefield where a battle between the Dark Blade and the Tower of Dusk was taking place. When he saw the corpses of the mages of the Tower of Dusk, an icy cold gaze filled his eyes. 
"Dark Blade, you asked for your own death!" Lin Li barked while keeping a straight face and raising the Helios' Scepter in his hand. The streams of light weaved around the scepter all the way to the top, while the huge gemstone instantly burst into a dazzling ray of light. 
The huge mana waves that flooded the heavens and earth immediately surged upwards, creating a destructive Mana Storm. Hundreds of Angels of Light and Dark appeared, holding spears and shuttling through the sky. They continuously rushed to the ground without stopping.
With a loud roar, the hundreds of Angels of Light and Dark darted towards the people in the battlefield like lightning. Everyone watched in horror with a look of hopelessness in their eyes. They wanted to flee, but could not move their feeble legs. They wanted to retaliate, but could not seem to hold their weapons up. 
On the battlefield, the shrilling yells sounded for a brief moment before silence was restored again. 
The mages of the Tower of Dusk were surprised to find that the members of the Dark Blade who had just fought against them had vanished in the blink of an eye. Even till now, they still dared not believe that the terrifying figure in the sky was actually there to help the Tower of Dusk. 
"It's President. President is back!" Gavin shouted excitedly. When encircling and suppressing the Syer Bandits in the Dragon Mountains, he had personally witnessed the President, Lin Li, exhibiting his Magical Domain of frost, light, and darkness. Even though there were no laws of ice in this Magical Domain, he was sure that Lin Li was the only one who could create the Angels of Light and Dark. 
Upon hearing Gavin's yell of excitement, the mages of the Tower of Dusk burst into cheers after a moment of silence. The attack of the Dark Blade had been getting more and more intense and menacing. Even with the help of the mages from the Malfa Family, the future of the Tower of Dusk still had been gloomy and bleak. Everyone had said that the President would not come back and wavered. In fact, they'd also got ready to go all out and give up everything they had. 
However, not only did their President return, he even effortlessly destroyed the hundreds of elites of the Dark Blade. His power was definitely not weaker than that of the Legendary-mage of the Dark Blade. All the mages in the Tower of Dusk got their hopes up again. Although they knew that there were two Legendary leaders in the Dark Blade, they still believed that under the leadership of the President, they would be able to defeat the Dark Blade this time.
Lin Li descended from the sky and quietly floated towards Borg. 
"F-Felic!" Borg grimaced when he saw the enemy in front of him. He gritted his teeth, and bitterly exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to make it out alive, but great, I finally have an opportunity to take revenge!"
Staring at Borg whose hair was all white, Lin Li was stunned because he couldn't recognize him at all. He wondered, Is this the same person who stepped into the Malfa Family's campground and asked to cooperate with Cheyenne? It had only been half a year, yet the Legendary powerhouse of the Dark Blade seemed to have aged 10 years at once. 
Although he and Stephen had fought each other, Stephen had already been dead in a sense. However, Lin Li did not intend to explain this to Borg. Although he sympathized with Borg, the damage that the Dark Blade had brought the Tower of Dusk was absolutely unforgivable.
"I will make you regret coming back!" Borg suddenly raised his staff, after which the gemstone on his staff suddenly emitted an infinite ray of black light. In a flash, a Magical Domain that was covered in blazing black flames extended to the surroundings. 
The black flames derived from the Darkness Laws and Flame Energy contained the power to burn everything in the world. Rather than melting, any metal would be burned to ashes in an instant, and light wouldn't fare any better. 
Seeing that Borg's Black Flames domain was about to engulf him soon, Lin Li quickly raised the Helios' Scepter and gently pointed it forward. 
Borg suddenly felt a huge force above his head, and he looked up to see that a Light and Darkness Sword had somehow condensed above him. It was then slashing down with infinite power.
"Bang!" A loud noise exploded and two strong forces collided together, making it almost impossible for everyone to stand up properly. 
The newly formed Black Flames Domain had already disappeared, and Borg turned as pale as a sheet, after which he spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground like a shooting star.


Lin Li accidentally enters another world while playing with his smurf mage account just after he maxes out all kinds of crafting skills, bringing with him various top-grade materials. Although his character is practically powerless, what he gains in return is unprecedented magical talent! Can he survive by himself after being thrown into another world?

Unlike before, this dark figure didn't hesitate at all as it suddenly swung its hand, causing a blade made entirely of the dark energy its body was made of to suddenly form from its hand.
But the blade wasn't completely black. There was a white glow that was surrounding the black energy that the blade was made of.
When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help knitting his brows since he immediately recognized what this was.
This was something that he had relied on to defeat all his enemies, it was his ability to use two separate laws together.
Based on the colours of the law energy that were being fused, it seemed like this former King was an expert with the laws of light and dark. These were two laws that complimented each other while also opposing each other, allowing them to blend and fight each other to create an even stronger power. The effects of these two laws combining would definitely be much stronger than the random assortment of laws that Lin Fan had.
But, Lin Fan still wasn't worried since he didn't only just have two laws.
The dagger in Lin Fan's hand quickly changed form and turned into a medium sized sword.
The dark figure was about to jump forward, but the moment Lin Fan's sword became bigger, his single eye narrowed once again as he looked it over and said, "An Embryo Soul Realm Artifact, just who are you?"
Lin Fan just stood there without saying a thing.
The dark figure only hesitated another second before charging out at Lin Fan with its blade drawn over its head, preparing to swing it right down.
Lin Fan reacted to this by bringing his sword down slightly, preparing to swing right up to meet that blade that was coming down.
As they approached each other, right before they were about to clash, there was a sudden flash of light that came from the dark figure's blade. Lin Fan had no choice but to close his eyes.
When he was able to open his eyes again, the dark figure was already gone from in front of him. Even with his spiritual sense, he couldn't find where the dark figure had gone.
While Lin Fan was looking around for the dark figure, there was a sharp point that was dropping down right on him.
The dark figure had used the combination of light and dark laws to first blind Lin Fan before using dark laws to hide above him, waiting for the moment he was distracted after recovering his sight to attack.
But right before the dark tip of the blade could pierce Lin Fan's head, there was a layer of rock that suddenly appeared above Lin Fan.
Of course, that layer of rock couldn't block the blade of two laws long enough, but still it was long enough for Lin Fan to react. Lin Fan quickly twisted out of the way of the tip of the blade, but that blade falling down still scraped the side of his arm as he was dodging.
For once, Lin Fan's naturally powerful body wasn't able to defend against this attack. The blade had actually cut right through his skin, leaving a faint streak of blood on his arm.
Lin Fan wasn't surprised by this since he could tell that this dark figure was in the low Fragmented Soul Realm based on the energy it released. With the combination of its two laws, it was much more than just that and with how its laws complimented each other, the might of that blade had even reached the high Fragmented Soul Realm, coming close to the peak. As for Lin Fan's body, it was only at the mid Fragmented Soul Realm.
Lin Fan was just glad that he had released Rocky ahead of time just in case.
Rocky had slowly been gaining intelligence, so it could already be considered a living piece of armour. Just by being outside with Lin Fan, it could react to attacks that Lin Fan couldn't react in time to and use parts of its own body to protect Lin Fan by creating rock shields.
But in the end, Rocky was still only in the high Platinum Realm, It hadn't reached the point where it could easily block attacks in the Fragmented Soul Realm, even if it was a mutated beast.
Lin Fan knew that he had underestimated this dark figure. He had thought that it would be easy since this dark figure only seemed to be in the Fragmented Soul Realm, but he had completely neglected the fact that it was a fragment of what used to be a King of the Beast Race.
Kings were rulers of the Beast Race that were on par with the rulers of Stellar Kingdoms, this meant that they had to be experts that were near the peak of the Sun Realm.
Even if this dark figure was weak, its mastery of its laws and on how to use those laws definitely wasn't shallow. It definitely had the same level of combat strength that he did, being able to skip several realms above his own and still being able to fight.
The only good thing was that Lin Fan could tell that this dark figure's energy was getting weaker with each passing second.
He didn't know what the story of the crystal was, but he could tell that this King definitely wasn't at its peak and was relying on this crystal to keep its form or something close to that.
Lin Fan no longer dared to hesitate as he suddenly released three different laws and those three different coloured energies surrounded his sword.
The dark figure was immediately shocked when it saw this since this was still considered rare even for the level it was at.
The dark figure began to rethink his evaluation of Lin Fan.
The fact that he could have an Embryo Soul Realm Artifact and utilize three different laws on a lower realm meant a lot. If his guess wasn't wrong, Lin Fan should be some super genius that was either raised by an upper realm or some Stellar Kingdom.
Could it be that he also had the same information that the King had and knew about the special treasure here?
But there had been only him and that annoying girl who had known about this!
It really was a pity that the dark figure's guess was completely wrong since he could never fathom the existence of the system. No one in this world would have been able to understand the existence of the system.
Well, not exactly no one since there were also system cultivation novels in this world as well. But out of all the ones that Lin Fan had read, there wasn't a single one that he could compare to the ones he read on earth.
All of these thoughts passed by in a second as the two of them once again charged at each other.
Lin Fan was prepared this time, but it was too bad that the dark figure didn't use the same attack.
As the dark figure swung out horizontally this time, Lin Fan raised his sword to block it, but the dark figure had swung way too strong before he even reached Lin Fan. The dark figure turned and turned with the sword spinning around it, but the strange thing was that it wasn't approaching quickly.
As it slowly moved towards Lin Fan, the dark figure began to sink into the ground until it had completely disappeared.
Once again, Lin Fan had completely lost track of the dark figure as it hid inside of its dark laws.
Lin Fan immediately turned around since he predicted that the dark figure would come out from behind him, but then the dark figure jumped out exactly where it had sunk into the ground, being behind Lin Fan now that he had turned.
Still, what the dark figure never expected was that Lin Fan had done this all on purpose.
When the dark figure slashed down, the dark blade was suddenly frozen in the air like it had hit an invisible wall.
The dark figure narrowed its eyes as it realized that this time it had been baited in, but it also felt shocked by the fact that Lin Fan could actually control four different laws and the fourth law was the rare spatial law.
Lin Fan didn't give it a chance to recover as he suddenly disappeared from where he had been standing, appearing again right behind the dark figure, already slashing down with his sword covered in three different laws.
The dark figure knew that it had been caught, but that was to be expected since it had to rush to end this battle as soon as possible before it ran out of energy. But then again, before the battle even started, it had already said that it was prepared to die with Lin Fan.
Ignoring the sword that was swinging down at it, there were tendrils of darkness that came out of the back of the dark figure, stabbing around the blade at Lin Fan. Since it was going to die, it would take Lin Fan out with it!
But, Lin Fan was also prepared for this as he had created spatial walls around himself, completely blocking all the tendrils that were aimed at him.
The blade cut right through the dark figure and the moment it did, there was a suction force that drew in the dark figure's energy and laws.
The moment the dark figure felt this suction force, its eyes immediately opened wide as it said, "You! How do you have this…"
But before it could finish, Lin Fan's swing had cut right through it and shattered its form, taking all the energy that was left in the crystal. The dark figure completely disappeared and the crystal that had turned completely transparent fell to the ground.

A terrifying dark aura washed all over the place at the very next moment. Dark flowing light filled the space with the Sword Saint at the center, every streak of light containing fearsome blade will.
"What kind of ritual implement is this?" Everyone's eyes froze as they stared at the blade in the Sword Saint's hand.
The blade seemed to have forbidden powers. These powers were being unraveled bit by bit at that very moment. The power emanating from the blade rushed into every corner of the Sword Saint's body, filling up his blood and even his soul.
The Sword Saint felt as if his body was being torn apart. Every single part of his body was in indescribably great pain. It was as if the streaks of blade will coursed throughout his body with impunity, threatening to cut him to pieces. The pain was more than enough to crush someone's will before killing them.
Dark whirlpool seemed to have formed from his eyes. At that very instant, the Sword Saint felt the power within the blade and that it was no longer just a weapon forged from power of rules.
The blade had a soul.
The Sword Saint seemed to see many demonic projections within the blade. The demonic spirits manifested as terrifying devouring whirlpool. The dark aura emanating from the blade connected the heavens and the earth, causing boundless power to flow in reverse, devoured by the darkness of the demonic blade. The Sword Saint felt as if he was on the verge of being devoured by the power of that very blade.
Regardless of how powerful a ritual implement was, it was limited by the one using it. He was only at the level of a magi, which meant that even if he was given an incredibly formidable ritual implement, he would still have had a hard time bringing out its full power due to the limitations of his own powers.
Yet, when the seal on the blade was unraveled, the Sword Saint felt as if the blade had been crafted by the grey-robed figure just for him. The weapon matched well with the arts he trained in.
"Just what kind of a ritual implement is this?" Many watched the scene unfolding before them in shock. The Sword Saint's plane was not all that high, and in the eyes of many, he was simply walking to his own death. Yet, when the seal on the blade was unraveled, they felt themselves trembling within as if some power that got them feeling fear resided in the blade itself.
Kong Yao watched how the boundless dark aura in the air looked like vines, devouring the powers of the world in a frenzy. That blade was definitely a very high-level holy item. He had never thought he would have encountered such holy items in the Barren State, and he deemed it crucial to get his hands on it.
Such saint level ritual implements were only accessible to saints back in Zhisheng Cliffs, but if it was something that he had acquired for himself, he would have been allowed to keep it. If he were to hand it over to Zhisheng Cliffs, he would have been given another one in return, instead of simply adding more to their collection.
"A cultivator trained in the demonic arts." Kong Yao's expression was cold as he said, "That is someone who is trained in demonic ways. What is the Holy Zhi Palace doing keeping their hands to themselves with someone like that before us?"
"Demonic arts." Ye Futian looked at his Eldest Brother. Since when did he train in demonic methods?
Furthermore, the blade was a very powerful one. It was a demonic blade.
"Reverse." A cold voice was uttered by the Sword Saint. The Spiritual Qi and power of rules seemed to have flowed in his body in reverse, being devoured by both the human and the weapon. Dark patterns appeared all over his body as if he had been clad in a piece of terrifying dark armor. He held the blade in his hand tight, as if both of them had merged into a single being.
"Demon." The Sword Saint took one step forward and one demonic shadow after another appeared around him. Dark aura that felt even more terrifying whipped about in the air. He held the demonic blade up high and veins were seen popping all over him.
Kong Yao's expression changed and said, "Look out."
He sensed a sliver of danger.
"Kill." The blade was brought down as soon as he finished talking. The streaks of dark aura all materialized into curved blades and lashed out.
"Get away," Kong Yao roared. The Zhisheng Cliffs mighty ones had initially surrounded Ye Futian and the others. When the blade was brought down, everyone was within range of the blade's attack.
"Retreat." Everyone from the major forces all backed away and evaded the dark blad as it swooped through the air as they went down.
Pfftt... Some of the mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs closest to them ended up chopped or bisected at the waist. The power of rules proved utterly inadequate to fend off the move. Anyone who got near ended up dead.
Blood sprayed all over the air. One sage level figures after another perished right there and then. Countless eyes stared at that very scene and many felt their minds trembling. The move was definitely one wrought by one at the pinnacle of Sage Plane. The Sword Saint melded his blade work and power of rules together with the power of the blade, boosting himself enough to reach the very limit of the Sage Plane.
Boom! A loud rumble was heard. The blade was brought down the palace far away, with the peak having gashes on it. The sky stairwell was snapped. That was a holy stairwell leading into the Holy Zhi Palace, a symbol that was cut up by that blade flash.
Kong Yao, Nie Yan, and Ge Feng all glared at the Sword Saint. The guy actually ended up killing so many of us from Zhisheng Cliffs.
One slash ended up killing over a dozen mighty ones.
What are we going to tell Zhisheng Cliffs when we return? Kong Yao's body trembled slightly at the thought. His face turned incredibly grim.
The two previous battles did not end up achieving their goals but Zhisheng Cliffs did not suffer many losses. However, despite having gathered more mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs, they ended up losing more instead. He deemed such a result simply unacceptable.
"You all will die," Kong Yao said coldly. A beam of holy light burst before him as soon as he finished. It was a very, very tall Bronze Holy Cauldron, looking regal and elegant as it hovered in the air. Streaks of holy light emanated from it. Everyone in the boundless space felt themselves being suppressed by a very terrifying power of rules, so much so that they found it difficult to breathe and incapable of moving. Ye Futian felt that precisely. At that moment, he felt impossible just to move his leg.
"Such terrifying holy item." The minds of many trembled. You Chi of Alchemy City stared at that Bronze Holy Cauldron. Alchemy City was unable to produce a holy item of such level. It seemed that Zhisheng Cliffs was determined to get their hands on it by allowing a holy item of such a level to be used by Kong Yao. That made Kong Yao almost invincible at his plane.
"Open," Kong Yao said. The incredibly huge Bronze Holy Cauldron blew up right there and then before reforming. It turned into armor-like protective gear, flying towards Kong Yao's body.
Kong Yao's arms, legs, chest, and back were all clad in bronze armor in an instant. A boundlessly huge divine elephant Life Spirit appeared. The same type of armor appeared on all four legs of that massive divine elephant.
"It can transform." Many peoples' eyes froze in place. Kong Yao stepped on the air below and the divine elephant shadow did the same as well. Incredible power radiated and suppressed all below it. Many were heard grunting and Sage Douzhan's battle form protected Ye Futian within it as well, preventing him from being affected. That one step vaguely cracked his battle form, a testament of how terrifying Kong Yao was when borrowing the power of holy items. He ranked ninth on the Sage Ranking and was invincible throughout the entire Barren State. Now that he had one such super-powerful holy item with him, there was simply no one below Saint Plane capable of getting his way.
"I'll go take care of him," the Sword Saint said calmly, looking at Kong Yao. Terrifying dark light whooshed about him still. His body seemed to have grown quite a bit and took a demon form. The demonic blade was filled with boundless blade will, enlarging it and turned it into a hundred meter-long demonic blade. Streaks of dark aura burst from the demonic blade in a frenzy. The Sword Saint then took to the air, holding the demonic blade high in the air.
"All who had a part in this will die," Kong Yao said coldly. His murderous intent was brimming as he stepped down. The divine elephant did the same and one divine elephant shadow after another seemed to went on a stampede in the air, stepping down as they went.
The Sword Saint swung his blade very slowly. Dark aura gathered in a frenzy, enlarging the blade gleaming with overbearing force, lashing out at the air. Sharp noises were heard and the divine elephant shadow was cut open by the demonic blade in the middle. The blade kept cutting at the air and headed for Kong Yao.
Kong Yao's expression was ice-cold. A magi level figure actually came at me with a ritual implement?
His ritual implement was also an extremely fearsome saint level holy item and his plane was far higher than the Sword Saint's.
One divine elephant shadow appeared after another and suppressed the air. Kong Yao shouted coldly and he, who was clad in battle armor and combat boots, stepped out, turning into a foot of the divine elephant. The divine elephant right behind him stepped out at the same time. With a deafening rumble, the boot stepped right onto the demonic blade. Terrifying dark blade flashes lashed out in the surroundings in that very instant, and that power that seemed to be bringing everything to its knees landed onto the body of the Sword Saint.
"Cut!" the Sword Saint shouted and terrible light emanated from the blade, cutting up the rules that came at them from above. The blade and the boot stuck together and rose, with two shadows making for the sky. The blade flash was seen and both stayed away from each other, each taking one side in the air. There were countless outside the Holy Zhi Palace who lifted their heads, looking tiny.
"Eldest Brother." Ye Futian was filled with boundless worry. Ye Futian knew that his Eldest Brother deliberately went at Kong Yao so as to get him away from the battlefield. Kong Yao was, after all, too powerful. At such a plane, Ye Futian would not have been able to fend off even one step from Kong Yao.
Nie Yan and Ge Feng moved once again, fighting Zhuge Qingfeng and Yuan Hong. Nie Yan said coldly, "Isn't the Holy Zhi Palace going to do anything?"
Ye Futian glanced at Liu Chan but he heard You Chi said, "This is a feud between Zhisheng Cliffs and Ye Futian. As the sacred ground of the Barren State, it would be better for the Holy Zhi Palace to stay out of this. Even though they might not be able to carry out what they believe in, there should at least have some line they wouldn't cross for whatever reasons."
"Go." Yan Wuji and mighty ones from Nantian House banded together at the moment and prepared to fight Zhuge Qingfeng and Yuan Hong together. They were compelled to kill those two right there and then.
"Di Kai, who gave you the permission to do anything?" You Chi glanced at someone, appearing right before Di Kai of the Emperor family in Alchemy City.
"This has nothing to do with you," Di Kai said coldly.
"I'm the City Lord of Alchemy City. If you dare do anything funny, I'd have no choice but to make my move," You Chi said coldly as well.
Xu Shang got in the way of Yan Wuji at the same time and said plainly, "It is better for the Barren State forces to simply watch from the sidelines."
"Are you going to become Zhisheng Cliffs' enemies then?" the City Lord of White Cloud City stepped out and said coldly, deeming them to be on the opposite side of Zhisheng Cliffs.
"No," Di Kai said plainly and added, "but the Zhuge family and Taihang Mountain are both Barren State forces. As such, it is best for other forces from Barren State to stay out of this." He stood across Bai Gu as soon as he finished. They promised to come but they would have never asked for a fight with Zhisheng Cliffs, as doing so would have given Zhisheng Cliffs a reason to wage a war against them.
But if Ye Futian and the others were able to get in Zhisheng Cliffs' way, they were not beneath helping out a little. Although Zhisheng Cliffs had saints, all nine states were the Orthodoxy of Emperor Xia, which meant that Zhisheng Cliffs could not simply go about as they pleased. So long as they kept themselves from acting against Zhisheng Cliffs, it would be impossible for that force from Yu State to simply kill all of them despite the fact that they had done nothing!
　　


In a time when the Divine Prefectures of the East Sea were in great disarray, Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great appeared to save the day. Under their rule, the prefectures united and all nations as well as  their kings have been controlled. However, the legend of these two great heroes becomes altered when Emperor Ye Qing's name is wiped from the history books after his sudden death. All statues and images of him were destroyed and his name a taboo. Only the legend of Donghuang the Great shall live on.                            

Fifteen years later, a young man by the name of Ye Futian begins his journey in search for his true identity. The legend of Futian was going to be one for the history books.

Su Bai had seen the symptoms of this Abis before, and it could be resolved without using the Pet Tamer interface. Upon closer inspection, there were some white snake scales with black and red blood stains on its body, and the cockscomb on its forehead was abnormally dark red. This was not a form of sickness. It was entering estrus, and only a spouse could resolve this. 
This question had tried to trick them by asking the participant to return it to normal, and those who did not understand would subconsciously think that it was sick and hence fail.
Su Bai typed in the answer on the computer: Please find a male Abis.
Su Bai's answer quickly spread to the backstage. The ones in charge of reviewing the questions were four people in their thirties. They were all intermediate trainers and belonged to the Cannes Trainer Association.
"This young lad isn't bad; he solved the problem with the Abis so quickly."
"Yeah, he's not bad. The first question isn't that difficult; it's the next two questions that are difficult," someone else said. 
"Look at the pet next to him which seems like a fox. When I saw this kid's profile earlier, I discovered that his pet is completely mutated and has a potential score of 93 points."
"A potential of 93? That's pretty impressive. It seems that this lad is very promising."
When the other three people heard this, they all turned their attention to the screen. Looking at the cub and then at the boy, their eyes lit up with interest. 
...
"Oh, so I don't need to complete the mating of the two Abises myself." 
Su Bai heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the answer on the phone. It would have been so troublesome for him to complete the actual operation. 
Now that the first problem was solved, he studied the second monster's problem. It was a mid-level servant, a gold-night type Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis. The question requirement was to evolve it into a Ghost Blade Mantis. 
This question tested evolution, which was difficult because many monsters had several different evolutionary types. For example, Purple Jade itself had three different evolutionary types. 
One of the professions of a trainer was to evolve a pet in the desired direction. 
The Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis was also a type with more evolutionary types. Su Bai focused his attention on it and saw a row of small fireflies appearing in front. 
[Name/Race]: Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis monster
[Gender]: Male
[Level]: Middle-level Servant
[Attribute]: Gold, Night
[Features/Passive]: Decapitation (Wounds caused by the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis are difficult to restore.)
[Restrained]: Wood, light attributes (mutual restraint)
[Weaknesses]: Fire and light attributes
[Evolutionary process]: Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis — Orchid Flying Mantis, Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis — Ghost Blade Mantis, Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis — Dark Night Mantis
[Introduction]: The Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis lives in dark, heavy-metal mine caves or mines. It is a killer in the dark, and it comes and goes silently. It hides its energy, is exceptionally fast, and is sensitive to the smell of blood. 
Its weaknesses are fire-based light attacks, short-sightedness, and mainly able to sense opponents by vibration and smell.
...
*****
Su Bai now understood from the specific information that the evolution of the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis into the Orchid Flying Mantis was actually relatively simple. However, the Ghost Blade Mantis and the Dark Night Mantis both had dark attributes, followed by their gold-metal attributes. If he was not careful, they might evolve incorrectly. 
Fortunately, his golden finger, the Pet Tamer interface, was powerful enough. The introduction not only explained the evolution materials of each branch clearly but also detailed the specific proportions of each material and the precautions to take. 
He thought for a while before typing the names of four materials on the computer: one piece of dark-veined golden marrow ore, one demonized grass, a hundred liter ghost-needle flower liquid, and one heaven fruit. 
"Huh? What's he thinking? Is he preparing to kill the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis? The attributes of the demonized grass and the heaven fruit are obviously opposite!"
"Sigh, he's simply messing around!" 
Upon seeing the materials requested by Su Bai, the four people were all puzzled. The catalytic material for this evolutionary process of the Ghost Blade Mantis had long been experimented with, so there were many related books to it. This second question was not testing the trainer's creative ability but rather their practicality. 
This was because the preparation of the catalytic material of the Ghost Blade Mantis required very professional techniques, and there were also many details to pay attention to. The most important thing was to test the trainer's carefulness, patience, and practicality.
"Still, these materials are all very cheap, especially the ghost-needle flower, which isn't even an advanced spiritual plant. The total price of the ingredients is half that of the original catalytic materials.
"Maybe he has a different idea?"
"Forget it; he's young. Let him take the courage to try. Tell them to prepare the materials for him."
...
Soon, the materials were sent to the laboratory. Su Bai checked their qualities and started operating after making sure that nothing was wrong. 
He poured the ghost-needle flower juice into a large glass jar, then added seventy liters of water, and used a grinder to grind the dark-veined golden marrow ore into powder for stirring. 
"Buddy, inject some wood spiritual power and stir it."
"Howl!" 
Upon hearing that it could play a part, the cub hurried over to inject spiritual power to stir it. 
Soon, the whole liquid turned into viscous dark green, with some golden spots appearing from time to time.
"Buddy, tie it up with the Vine Whip."
Once the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis was bound tightly, Su Bai took out the needle and injected the demonized grass, which had been ground into juice. 
With the infusion of the demonized grass juice, the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis gradually woke up, its eyes turning blood red and black stripes appearing on its body. 
"Okay, put it in the glass jar and hold it down. Don't let it get out of the juice."
"Howl, howl!"
The cub's eyes were full of curiosity and surprise as it marveled at how impressive Ah Bai was.
"Gulp, gulp…"
Before the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis could fully explode in a frenzy, it was held down by the cub and was made to drink the liquid.
As the juice drained, it gradually stopped resisting as if it had died, but the liquid in the tank was still slowly decreasing. 
The original marks of orchids on its back turned black, and soon, chaotic dark spiritual power fluctuated from its body. 
An hour later, the juice in the glass jar was about to be cleared completely; the Orchid Ghost Blade Mantis's breathing became shallower as if it was truly about to die.
Su Bai poked it with a glass rod and nodded. "It's almost there!"
Turning around, he picked up a needle tube and injected five milliliters of the heaven fruit extract into the mantis. 
Violent dark spiritual power fluctuations erupted and then a small spirit vortex appeared.
"Done!"
Nodding, he watched the light dissipate to reveal a spirit of about one meter tall standing in the glass tank. Its body was dark-gold with black lines, while its pair of blades were dark-black, shining with a cold aura. This was the Ghost Blade Mantis.
"What the f*ck! He actually succeeded!"
The four mid-level trainers were dumbfounded. Their jaws dropped open, for they could just not believe that the seemingly ridiculous idea had actually worked.
"He's a genius. This kid is definitely a trainer genius. We'll have to inform the president of this matter immediately. This kind of genius must stay in our association and mustn't be snatched away by those turtle grandsons of the Gymnasium Research Institute."
These four people understood how much potential a sixteen-year-old with these operations held. As long as he was trained well, he could become a master-level trainer. 
...
Unaware of what was happening outside, Su Bai intently looked at the third question. 



Su Bai wakes up and finds that the world has changed drastically. He realizes he has come to a world of pets. After accepting the new setting, he is determined to become a powerful Pet Tamer.
One day, Su Bai’s pet releases a beginner skill spark. Flames flutter and the sky turns to ashes…
A water attribute beginner skill causes the boundless sea to fall from the sky, flooding thousands of miles of mountains and rivers…
One blow rips apart the claw, and endless sharp bursts explodes. One after another, worlds fall apart…
A passerby: (ﾟДﾟ≡ﾟдﾟ)!?
This is a world of pets and monsters. Every teenager will develop a soul stone in the middle of their eyebrows. 
After placing the soul stones into stones, branches, water, and any other thing, a spirit egg unique to the owner would be born.
Once the spirit is hatched, the owner will receive his own beginner spirit contract book. Then, he can embark on the road of contracting and training various spirits and monsters. 
However, Su Bai seems to be doing things a little differently…

Dumaloy ang tubig sa Nine Tiger River sa kalangitan at agad na kinulong ang tatlong mga overlord. Mabilis na bumagal ang tatlong ito sa paglipad.
"Ano na ang dapat nating gawin? Mayroon siyang domain na uri ng tunay na kayamanan at hindi rin natin magawang makalapit sa kaniya." Nababagabag na sinabi ni Ce Tian Kngiht.
Pero sumimangot dito si Demon Blade Knight "Feather Dark Horde Leader, magagawa mo ba siyang atakihin gamit ang iyong mga ilusyon para mapabagal sa paglipad?"
"Hindi, hindi ko kaya!" sagot ni Feather Dark Horde Leader gamit ang walang magawa nitong boses. "Masyado nang malakas ang kaniyang willpower at isipan—naaapektuhan ko lang siya nang kaunti pero nagagawa pa rin niyang lumipad at umilag nang perpekto."
Sa ilalim ng soul illusion, maaaring hindi magawa nang perpekto ang ilang mga nangungunang technique ng isang fighter na nasa ilalim ng ilusyon. Pero magiging madali pa rin dito ang paglipad.
"Hayaan niyo na." sabi ni Demon Blade Knight. "Hindi natin siya mapapatay dahil sa ginagamit niyang domain na uri ng tunay na kayamanan. Hayaan na lang natin siyang mabuhay at umalis sa lugar na ito."
"Sige."
"Mukhang kailangan talaga natin itong gawin."
Dito na nagsimulang lumipad sina Ce Tian Knight, Demon Blade Knight at Feather Dark Horde Leader pabalik sa kanikanilang mga planeta.
"Gusto ninyong tumakas?" sabi ng isang nagagalit na boses, dito na nagsimulang habulin ng Golden Horned Beast si Demon Blade Knight.
"Humph! Nagawa mo akong habulin matapos kitang hayaan na mabuhay?" Titig ni Demon Blade Knight sa Golden Horned Beast na humahabol sa kaniya. "Mukhang hindi kita magagawang habullin sa iyong domain pero huwag mo akong sisihin sa pagpatay ko sa iyo dahil ikaw mismo ang nagdala niyan sa sarili mo!"
"Mukhang nasa mga kamay ko na ang iyong buhay." Sabi ng Golden Horned Beast "Hahaha…Nakakatawa! Tingnan natin kung sino sa atin ang mamamatay, Demon Blade Knight!"
Iniling ng Golden Horned Beast ang kaniyang mga pakpak at sumugod kay Demon Blade Knight. Sa ilalim ng nasusunog niyang undying energy, hiniwa ng kaniyang Shi Wu Wings si Demon Blade Knight! Kasabay nito ang pagpaligid ng siyam na kakaibang mga halimaw na nasa Nine Tiger River kay Demon Bklade Knight. Hindi mapapantayan ang at may kakayahang magbigay ng pinsala ang 9 mga kakaibang halimaw sa isang knight na nasa secondary level sa tulong ng amplification at undying na enerhiya ng Golden Horned Beast. Para naman sa mga overlord, kahit na hinid nila ito magawang saktan, magagawa naman nilang mapaapektuhan ang bilis ng mga ito.
"Mukhang naghihintay ka ng sarili mong katapusan." Galit na sinabi ni Demon Blade Knight. Kinamumuhian na niya ang Golden Horned Beast mula noong una nilang pagkikita "Masyado ka pang mahina para labanan ako. At ang rason kung bakit mo nagagawa pang huminga sa mga sandaling ito ay dahil sa iyong background, na nagmula sa Space Beast Alliance na nagbigay sa iyo ng isang kahanga hangang tunay na kayamanan… Kaya siguradong hindi mo magagawang umasa na makipaglaban sa akin!"
Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!
Agad na kumalat ang isang nakabibinging tunog nang magsimula ang laban sa pagitan ni Demon Blade Knight at Golden Horned Beast sa loob ng gintong ilog.
Sa isang kalaban lang magagawang magconcentrate ng Golden Horned Beast sa bawat pagkakataon. Pinanood nina Ce Tian Knight at Feather Dark Horde Leader ang laban mula sa malayo nang nakarelax.
"Naglalaro lang siya ng apoy." Sabi ni Ce Tian Knight "Hindi na lang tumakas ang Golden Horned Beast gamit ang kaniyang domain na uri ng tunay na kayamanan noong nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataon, at sa halip ay nagawa pa nitong sumubok na lumaban."
"Tingnan natin kung paano siya wawasakin ni Demon Blade Knight." Sabi ni Feather Dark Horde Leader.
Nagpatuloy ang laban ng dalawa… isang minuto, limang minuto, sampung minuto… kahit na isa itong mainit na laban, ang Golden Horned Beast pa rin ang humahabol kay Demon Blade Knight. Nagpatuloy sa pagtanggap ng pagatake ang Golden Horned Beast, pero hindi nito nagawang sumuko. Nagpatuloy siya sa pakikipagsabayan kay Demon Blade Knight.
Natitigilan namang nanood sina Ce Tian Knight at Feather Dark Horde Leader.
"Ang labang ito…1% na ang nasusunog sa undying na katawan ni Demon Blade Knight sa pagkakataong ito." Nagugulat na sinabi ni Ce Tian Knight, "Pero hindi pa rin nagbabago ang puwersang ibinibigay sa kaniya ng Golden Horned Beast na iyon."
"Hindi humina ang undying niyang katawan kahit matagal na niya itong sinusunog." Natitigilang sinabi ni Feather Dark Horde Leader.
******
Tumigil na si Demon Blade Knight sa pagiging agresibo at galit. Sa halip ay napuno siya ng pagkabagabag at inis. "Hindi manlang nagbago ang undying niyang katawan matapos tamaan nang ganito katagal. Pero paano? Hindi na ako magtataka na isa ngang senior na level ng tunay na kayamanan ang armor na suot niya!"
Naramdaman niyang mahina ang Golden Horned Beast pero kahit na hindi pa nagagawang gamitin ng Golden Horned Beast ang ikatlo nitong form. May kakayahan na ang ikalawang form ng isang armor na nasa senior na level ng tunay na kayamanang pahinain ang mga pagatake hanggang sa 1/1,000th ng orihinal nitong lakas.
"Walang magiging pakinabang maging ang mga senior level mong tunay na kayamanan sa akin. Masira ka!"
Isang kulay jade at kasing talim ng blade na liwanag ang pumunit sa gintong ilog at humiwa sa Golden Horned Beast.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Nasa siyam na pagatake ang ginawa nito sa Golden Horned Beast at ang bawat kasunod na pagatake ay mas malakas kaysa sa nauna nitong pagatake. Kumunsumo ang ika 9 na pagatake ni Demon Blade Knight ng 2% sa undying niyang katawan. 8% na ng undying niyang katawan ang nagawa niyang makonsumo sa pagkakataong ito.
"Ano?" Natakot dito si Demon Blade Knight. Tumitig siya sa Golden Horned Beast. "Hindi manlang humina ang undying niyang katawan?"
Howl!
Sumigaw ang Golden Horned Beast at pinagaspas ang kaniyang mga pakpak. Sinubukan ng kaniyang mga pakpak na muling atakihin si Demon Blade Knight.
Gulong gulo na sa mga sandaling ito sa Demon Blade Knight. "Walang kakuwenta kwenta ang technique na ginagamit niya sa pagatake." Sabi nito "Mukhang hindi pa sapat ang pangintindi niya sa origin law para mapagana ang ikatlong form ng isang armor ng nasa senior level ng tunay na kayamanan! Sabagay, mayroon akong isang undying blade na nasa senior level din ng tunay na kayamanan, at katatapos ko lang ding gawinang pinakamatindi kong technique na nagawa kong perpekto ko rito sa Land of Extremis nang napakahabang panahon. Kaya siguradong masusugatan nang malubha maging ang isang overlord sa sandaling matamaan siya nito."
Hong!
Muling sumugod ang Golden Horned Beast kay Demon Blade Knight.
"Demon Blade Knight, sinabihan na kita…!" Sigaw ng Golden Horned Beast "Tingnan natin kung sino ang mamatay sa atin!"
Natatakot na nagliwanag ang mga mata ni Demon Blade Knight matapos maintindihan ang plano ng Golden Horned Beast."
"Buwisit."
Sinubukang lumipad ni Demon Blade Knight palayo.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
Sa ilalim ng pressure na binibigay ng gintong tubig, hindi niya nagawang lumipad sa sapat na bilis! Mas naging mabilis sa kaniya ang Golden Horned Beast ng 100 beses, agad itong nakahabol sa tumatakas na si Demon Blade Knight.
"Kahit 42% na lang ang natitira sa undying kong katawan, isa pa rin itong undying na katawang may lakas na katumbas ng 600 milyong sector lord! Mas malakas ito ng 1 milyong beses kaysa sa iyo! Sabagay, isa nang nangungunang tunay na kayamanan ang Force Armor na suot ko! Kaya kahit na magkaroon ka pa ng isang blade na nasa senior level ng tunay na kayamanan, at kahit na maging malakas ang iyong technique, mapapahina pa rin ito ng Force Armor hanggang sa maging 1/10,000th na lang ito ng tunay nitong lakas… Maaari ngang hindi kita mapatay! Pero maaari kong ipakonsumo sa iyo nang dahan dahan ang iyong katawan! Hindi mo magagawang tumakas sa impluwensya ng aking Nine Tiger River! Kaya wala ka nang magagawa kundi mamatay!"
Sumigaw ang Golden Horned Beast. Nawala na ang lahat ng pride ni Demon Blade Knight at ginawa na lang ang lahat para makatakas mula sa Golden Horned Beast.
******
Parehong naintindihan ni Ce Tian Knight at Feather Dark Horde Leader ang mga nangyayari, agad silang umalis sa domain ng Nine Tiger River.
"Dalian mo! Halika na!" Sabi ni Ce Tian Knight "Halika na!"
"Napakahusay na Golden Horned Beast…" namamanghang sinabi ni Feather Dark Horde Leader.
"Masyado pang pangit ang technique na ginamit nito para dumepensa sa atin." Sabi ni Ce Tian Knight "Para itong isang technique na nagmumula sa isang knight na nasa secondary level. Iniisip ko ring nasa second form lang ang armor niyang tunay na kayamanan, at naisip ko rin na siguradong masusugatan nang malubha ang Golden Horned Beast sa pinakamatinding technique ni Demon Blade Knight. Pero walang kahit na sino sa ating nakapagisip ng tama. Humina na nang husto ang undying na katawan ni Demon Blade Knight, habang nananatili sa estadong iyon ang katawn ng Golden Horned Beast na iyan!"
Pareho ritong nakaramdam ng kaba sina Feather Dark Horde Knight at Ce Tian Knight.
"Patay na siya." Sabi ni Ce Tian Knight.
"Siguradong mamamatay si Demon Blade Knight," sang ayon ni Feather Dark Horde Knight.
Nagpalitan ng tingin sina Dark Horde Knight at Ce Tian Knight. Pareho na nilang alam ngayon na hindi mamamatay ang Golden Horned Beast. Hindi makakatakbo si Demon Blade Knight dahil sa pressure ng domain na uri ng tunay na kayamanan ni Luo Feng. Kung magpapatuloy pa ito sa pagsusunog ng undying niyang katawan, magpapatuloy lang ito sa paghina… At siguradong mamamatay din siya sa isang punto nito! Pero kung titigil sa pagsusunog ng undying niyang katawan si Demon Blade Knight, mas magiging mahina naman siya ng 1,000 beses, dito na magpapatuloy ang Nine Tiger River sa pagbibigay ng pinsala sa kaniya…Siguradong mamamatay si Demon Blade Knight anuman ang mangyari!
******
Nagdadalawang isip na itinransmit ni Demon Blade Kngiiht ang kaniyang boses "Golden Horned Beast, hayaan mo na akong mabuhay, pakiusap."
"Walang tiyansa na mangyari iyon!" Sigaw ng Golden Horned Beast. "Hintayin mo na lang ang katapusan mo!"
"Pinipilit mo talaga ako!" Galit na sinabi ni Demon Blade Knight.
"Oo! Hindi ba't gusto mo akong patayin kanina? Mas naging malalim ng ang pangintindi mo sa origin law kaysa sa akin, pero mamamatay ka pa rin sa huli!"
Nagpatuloy sa pagsugod ang Golden Horned Beast kay Demon Blade Knight na walang magawa para makatakas habang nasa ilalim ng pressure na ibinibigay ng kaniyang Nine Tiger River. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit mahalaga ang mga domain na uri ng tunay na kayamanan. May kakayahan ang isang ito na ikulong ang kaniyang mga kalaban sa sandaling nasa lamang na posisyon ang kalaban ng gumagamit nito habang tinutulungan ang gumagamit ditong nasa dehadong sitwasyon o wasakin ang mas mahihina niyang mga kalaban nang isahan.
"Ikaw, ikaw, ikaw…!" Naiinis na sigaw ni Demon Blade Knight.
"Hintayin mo na lang ang iyong kamatayan." Nagpatuloy sa pagsugod ang Golden Horned Beast.
Kahit na mas naging mahusay nang ilang beses sa pakikipaglaban si Demon Blade Knight kaysa sa Golden Horned Beast, walang tigil naman nitong pinapahina ang undying niyang katawan. Pero hindi niya nagawang tumigil sa pagsusunog ng undying niyang katawan, dahil sa sandaling gawin niya ito, agad na babagsak ang kaniyang depensa. Dito na magagawa ng Golden Horned Beast na ubusin nang mas mabilis ang undying niyang katawan.
60 percent… 50 percent… 40 percent…
Walang tigil na pinapahina ang undying niyang katawan, maging ang kaniyang lakas. Habang nauubos ang kaniyang lakas, mas mabilis na nasusunog ng Golden Horned Beast ang undying niyang katawan.
"Golden Horned Beast!" sigaw ni Demon Blade Knight "Sa sandaling mabuhay akong muli matapos pabalikin ang oras, sinisiguro ko sa iyong magiging isa akong universe master bago kita patayin!"
"Papatayin kita muli kung ganoon1" Sigaw ng Golden Horned Beast "Tandaan mo, ako ang pumatay sa iyo… Huwag na huwag kang magkakamali! Sa kasamaang palad, isa ka nang overlord. Maaaring maging mahirap na para sa kanilang buhayin ka."
"Mag—maghintay ka lang!" Sigaw ni Demon Blade Knight.
Nagmula siya sa Nine Territory Alliance at walang supreme universe master na miyembro ang alyansang iyon. Kaya sa sandaling mamatayan sila ng isang overlord…kakailanganin munang humingi ng Nine Territiory Alliance ng tulong sa ibang mga power o sa ilang mga nagsosolong supreme master ng kalawakan na magiging mabigat para sa kanila. Hindi nakakasiguro si Demon Blade Knight kung nakahanda ang Nine Territory Alliance na magbayad nang malaki para sa kaniya.
32 percent…! Nararamdaman na ni Demon Blade Knight ang paghina ng undying niyang katawan at mas lalo pang nagalit. Kung hindi siya magseself destruct, agad siyang mawawalan ng malay at maaari ring maging soul slave ng Golden Horned Beast. Pero kung magseself destruct naman siya at mamamatay. Maaari siyang manatiling patay magpakailanman.
"Siguradong mamamatay ako sa sandaling hindi ako magself destruct, pero atleast ay mayroon pa rin akong pagkakataong mabuhay sa sandaling gawin ko ito." Sabi niya.
"Hayop ka, Golden Horned Beast!" Sigaw ni Demon Blade Knight. "Ah!"
Hong!
Pinasabog ni Demon Blade Knight ang kaniyang sarili sa pamamagitan ng isang iyak. Kumalat sa paligid ng Nine Tiger River ang mga enerhiyang nagmula sa pagsabog at tuluyang nawala matapos gumawa ng dumadagundong na mga shockwave.
"Humph." Sabi ng Golden Horned Beast, nanlalamig niya itong tiningnan "Gusto ko sanang makipagusap sa iyo, pero nagpumilit kang nakawan ako. Sa kasamaang palad, mapapasaakin na ngayon ang mga iniwan mong kayamanan."
Ikinaway niya ang kaniyang mga kamay at dalawang mga kayamanana ng lumipad papunta sa kaniya. Ito ay ang berdeng armor at isang kulay jade na undying blade na isang tunay na kayamanan.
"Dalawa lang ang mga tunay na kayamanan nito?" Kinuha ng Golden Horned Beast ang mga tunay na kayamanan.
Nasaksihan nina Ce Tian Knight at Feather Dark Horde Leader ang mga nangyari at napabuntong hininga. Isang overlord ng kalawakan ang namatay.
Hua! Hua!
Malakas na umagos ang mga alon habang umaapak ang Golden Horned Beast sa mga along ito at itinatransmit ang kaniyang boses na nagsabing "Ce Tian Knight, Feather Dark Horde Leader, mananatili pa rin ba kayong mga kalaban ko?"


Taong 2056, sa loob ng isang siyudad na makikita sa Su Jin Area makikita ang isang teenager na nakasuot ng combat vest, pangsundalong pangibaba at battle boots na gawa sa alloy na nakaupo sa tuktok ng isang sira sirang six story residential apartment. Makikita sa kaniyang likuran ang isang hexagonal shield at ang kaniyang hawak hawak na blood-shadow battle knife. Tahimik siyang nakaupo sa dulo ng rooftop. Makikita sa mga oras na ito ang kumikinang na kalangitan at mararamdaman ang napakapreskong hangin na kasalukuyang umiihip patungo sa kaniya. Pero tanging katahimikan lamang ang maririnig sa sira sira at abandonadong siyudad na ito at kung minsan ay mayroong paisa isang pagalulong ang maririnig na magbibigay takot sa sinumang makarinig nito.

"Bang!" 
The Blood Knight cracked a smile while he faced Chen Fan's infamous flying sword. He unsheathed a thin and slender Knight's Sword that was completely etched with complex patterns that looked like blood drops. 
"Clang!"
As the Blood Knight swung the blade, a surge of crimson energy was shot out from the edge of the blade and it clashed with the Sword of Essence Restoring. Chen Fan's sword trembled a little, giving the Blood Knight time to lash out twelve more times. Each attack sliced through the air and it reached supersonic speeds. 
The Sword of Essence Restoring was forced back by the flurry of attacks. Its body vibrated violently, making a high pitch humming noise. 
Yukishiro Sa's eyes were wide open in disbelief.
The onlookers around the battle were also shocked by the development. 
Did he just force back Chen Fan's Sword of Essence Restoring? How was that possible? An average Immortal State Warrior would never be able to do that. Even peak level Immortal State Warriors could only last a few minutes while fighting against the Sword of Essence Restoring. 
"That must be the power of a peak level Mortal Deity."
Yukishiro Sa's face changed a little. 
Although she was confident in her master's ability, she started to worry nonetheless. The Blood Knight didn't come alone and there were three more Overlords in addition to the Blood Knight. She had doubts about whether she would be able to ward off their combined attack. 
"It's just so so."
The Blood Knight sheathed his blade and cracked a smile. 
Chen Fan furrowed his brows slightly. The Sword of Essence Restoring was a deadly weapon, and the fact that the Blood Knight's weapon was able to counter it meant that it was an even more powerful Spirit Artifact. 
"The Dark World Arbitration Department really lives up to its reputation for being wealthy. Even an Arbitrator of his rank has a Spirit Artifact. They are so rare that the Heavenly Master Sect has barely gathered one throughout its thousand-year-old history."
Chen Fan was unfazed despite his enemy's deadliness. He prepared for another attack. 
"You can counter my attack once, but can you do it more times?"
Chen Fan charged up his energy and channeled it to the Sword of Essence Restoring.
The Sword of Essence Restoring suddenly replicated itself. Although the copies' Blade Aura was not as deadly as the original, they were potent and extremely sharp nonetheless.
Art of Multiplying Blade Auras!
This art was recorded on the Sword Art of Nine Abandonments obtained by the Exalted Cultivator. However, the Exalted Cultivator's enlightenment was not enough to learn this art. In the end, he had physically created nine flying swords instead of creating copies of one. 
On the other hand, Chen Fan had quickly mastered the art and was able to create the copies, making the art much more effective than before. 
"Shoo Shoo Shoo."
Chen Fan pointed his fingers and commanded nine golden Blades to soar up into the sky and swoop down. Their Blade Auras illuminated the sky and their Blade Qis separated the rain curtain.
"Sh*t!"
Blood Knight's face was darkened by such a sight.
Although he was revered as the most skilled swordmaster in the West, and he wielded a Divine Artifact passed down from a saint, his confidence faltered for a bit as he dealt with ten flying swords at the same time.
"Clank, clank!"
Many crimson Blade Auras erupted around the Blood Knight, protecting him within their glow. However, the ten blades swarmed Blood Knight at the same time and the protective Blade Aura quickly waned. 
By the third impact, the Blade Aura started to shrink.
After the fifth blow, the Blood Knight staggered back, nearly losing his balance. 
After the seventh blow, Chen Fan's Blade Aura penetrated Blood Knight's defense and landed on his body. 
The next three attacks all landed squarely on Blood Knight's body; they went through and punched many holes in his body.
"Urhh!"
Blood Knight fell to the ground. 
There were four large holes on his body, each located on vital parts, such as the chest area. Those wounds would have already killed him if he were a mortal.
However, to Chen Fan's surprise, the gaping wounds were quickly closed off by themselves, and Blood Knight rose to his feet again. Other than his tattered clothing, there was no sign of any injury.
An undying body!
His body shared many similarities with Damon's. However, despite the healing of his wounds, Blood Knight's face was colorless. He had lost his ground after the seventh attack, meaning that he was no match against Chen Fan. 
"The Dark Blood Race's Half Breed has some truly powerful abilities," Chen Fan exclaimed. 
The Dark Wolf and the Dark Blood Races were renowned for their extreme vitality. Not only could they live longer, they also possessed an exceptional ability to regenerate their bodies. They could survive even without blood running in their systems. The only way to kill them was through decapitation and cremation. 
"I wonder, can you regenerate once I beat you to a pulp?"
Chen Fan let out a faint smile and then he waved a hand. 
"Boom!"
The ten golden Blade Auras were further split, creating nine more sets of three meter long blades. It looked as if there were a myriad Blade Auras in the sky. 
A hundred copies of one sword!
The Art of Multiplying Blade Auras was the bread and butter of the Art of Flying Swords. The ability to split one Blade Aura into ten was the foundation of that skill, and the standard version was to split one Blade Aura into a hundred. As for the Perfected Immortals who had reached the Dao Reunion level, they could have created hundreds of millions of copies to overwhelm an entire planet.
"What?"
The Blood Knight was disheartened by the development. 
"I think Claude is about to give up. Time for us to join in," the Dark Duke said with a scowl.
"It has been ten years since the last time we joined forces. The last time we did it was against Antonio." The Devil of Death cracked a cold smile. 
"Boom!"
The Earl of Terror attacked first. 
A plume of dark mist burst out from behind him and transformed into the shape of a snarling dragon that writhed toward Chen Fan. 
That dark energy was "Terror Qi" that he had collected every time he killed an innocent person. The plume of Terror Qi contained the rage and fear of over a million innocents before their deaths. It was able to corrupt even the Divine Soul of an Immortal State Warrior.
"Kill!" Chen Fan shouted a command.
A hundred or so rays of Blade Aura fell from the sky, each sharper than the one before it. Their appearance created many golden streaks in the sky, looking like golden threads from a distance. 
Rain of Flying Swords!
The power of the attack could only be compared with the might of Mount Shu's Sword Immortals. 
Many onlookers pulled in a gasp of cold air. 
"So, is this Chen Beixuan's true power? It's unbelievable! No wonder the seven Immortal State Warriors couldn't bring him to heel even after they joined forces. I also heard that he had even killed a Mortal Deity," someone exclaimed. 
This man was wearing a tight black outfit over his hulking frame. There was a badge on his chest that depicted an angel with red wings. He was a mercenary from the Crimson Wings. 
It was James Hutton, the new captain of the Crimson Wings and a new name on the Dark Roll. 
"Chen Beixuan, Blood Knight, and the Earl of Terror, all of them are the stuff of legend. Each of them has marked an entire generation," a blond man lamented. 
If Chen Fan had seen his face, he would have surely recognized the Son of the God, Adam. 
"Shush now! the Dark Duke is going to join in," someone else cut him short. 
Nearly all the onlookers outside of the Wisteria Manor were famous Overlords in Europe and each represented a formidable force. 
"Peng! Peng!"
A shower of Blade Aura pierced into the Terror Qi, and churned the deadly qi around. Despite the harmless appearance, the Terror Qi was able to significantly dim the golden aura upon contact. 
Such was the power of the Terror Qi harnessed over a hundred years by the Earl of Terror. 
However, the Blade Auras had an upper hand thanks to their number; they forced the Earl of Terror and the Blood Knight into a corner. Chen Fan still had about a dozen Blade Auras to spare, so he used them against the other attackers. 
"Bang!" 
The Devil of Death's body flickered a little.
He faded in and out of view like a phantom, easily breaking the supersonic barrier and reaching twice the speed of sound. 
As the Devil of Death broke the supersonic barrier, twenty Blade Auras followed suit. The Devil of Death let out a snicker and then produced a dagger with a hazy looking body.
The Dark World Arbitration Department's Divine Artifact!
Angel's Thirteen Octaves 
This legendary Divine Artifact was created by a Deity who had thrived in the Middle East from the rib bone of an Angel. It was enchanted with thirteen curses. 
"Plague, aging, poison curse…"
Each one more deadlier than the other. 
The Devil of Death had unleashed the Plague curse once, terminating the entire population of a small European nation as a punishment for that country's disobedience.
"Clank, clank!"
The black dagger and the Blade Auras clashed against each other. 
After each impact, the hazy darkness that shrouded the dagger was able to bring the brightness of the Blade Auras down a notch. So deadly and pervasive were the curses on the Angel's Thirteen Octaves that not even a flying sword could escape its deadly grip. 
"Boom!"
The Dark Duke finally attacked.
Of the five Arbitrators, he was the most influential and the strongest Dark Lord. His attacks were bound to make a difference on the battlefield. 
The Dark Duke's punch was so fast that it created a vacuum around it, which he quickly filled up with his Essence Qi, turning the qi-filled vacuum into a void in space that attracted all other energies around it. 
Ten Blade Auras were unable to fight back the inescapable force and plummet into the void. 
In the end, the Blade Auras as well as the black hole disappeared into thin air.
"Fiend Fist of Annihilation."
The Dark Energy had combined martial arts from both the East and the West, creating a new style in the process. So powerful was this punch that it countered ten Blade Auras at once. 
"Donn Donn Donn"
The other four Arbitrators started their own arts to fight back against the Blade Auras. 
In the end, there was only one ray of Blade Aura left, and it belonged to the Sword of Essence Restoring. 
The sword vibrated in the air, letting out a saddened droning. It had sustained some damage during Chen Fan's battle in Chu Zhou City and it had yet to recover. Once it was split into many Blade Auras, it had finally reached its limit.
"Come back."
Chen Fan waved a hand and summoned the blade back. 
"Chen Beixuan, your Divine Artifact is useless now, what else do you have?"
The Blood Knight Claude sniggered.
The other fighters laughed gloatingly while Yukishiro Sa's heart sank to the floor.
"Do you think that you're the only ones who have Spirit Artifacts?"
Chen Fan shook his head and fished out an azure seal from the little gourd.
The azure seal was covered with zigzagging etchings. A deafening clap of thunder erupted in the sky as soon as the seal was revealed. 
This was a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact: 
The Thunder Seal!


Chen Fan, the great cultivator, failed to transcend the Tribulation of Heaven: the final stage of his cultivation. Little did he know that this accident would bring him back to Earth and turn back time to five hundred years ago when he was just a teenager. 

‘I had once reached the precipice of power in the known universe and could look down on the ten thousand realms with pride; I was lonely nonetheless. I will not leave any regret nor anyone behind while I relive my past life this time around. ’

Join Chen Fan as he relives his teenage years, righting the wrongs of the past as he punishes his unwitting old enemies.
