Prologue - Awakening
Chapter-0 : The Awakening
The moon hung high in the midnight sky, casting an eerie glow upon the desolate landscape. In a hidden cavern nestled deep within the mist-shrouded mountains, a dimly lit chamber echoed with whispers of ancient incantations. Liu Feng, a young and enigmatic cultivator, stood at the center, his eyes blazing with an unsettling mix of ambition and malevolence.
His obsession with perfection had led him down a dark and treacherous path, one that few dared to tread. Guided by forbidden knowledge, he had unearthed secrets that promised untold power and immortality, not in the purest sense, but in a way that defied the natural order.
Tonight, Liu Feng was on the brink of a profound transformation. The culmination of years of study, sacrifice, and relentless pursuit of his twisted goals was about to bear fruit. With a wicked smile curling upon his lips, he raised his hands, summoning the forbidden energies that swirled around him.
A torrent of dark energy surged through the chamber, crackling with malevolent power. Shadows danced along the walls, seemingly alive with sinister intent. Liu Feng's body trembled as the energies coursed through his veins, intertwining with his very essence.
A surge of searing pain wracked his body, but he welcomed it with a sadistic pleasure. To him, pain was but a stepping stone towards true power. As the agony intensified, he could feel his mortal form being pushed to its limits, his essence reshaping and mutating, embracing the darkness that threatened to consume him.
In that moment, the air crackled with an otherworldly presence. The chamber grew still as Liu Feng's transformation neared completion. With a final, guttural scream, he collapsed to the floor, his body convulsing in both agony and triumph.
As the last echoes of his tortured cries subsided, Liu Feng slowly rose, his gaze now filled with an unholy light. His once youthful visage was marred by the touch of darkness, his features distorted, as if a veil of malevolence had settled upon him. It was a sight that would strike fear into the hearts of any who beheld it.
Liu Feng had become something more than human, something far more sinister. His pursuit of perfection had brought him to the precipice of a new existence, where he would wield powers beyond the comprehension of mortals.
With a newfound sense of purpose and an insatiable hunger for dominion, Liu Feng vowed to reshape the world according to his own twisted vision. He would use his unparalleled charisma and dark mind arts to manipulate and control, bending the wills of those foolish enough to oppose him.
As he stepped out of the chamber and into the moonlit night, a malicious grin spread across his face. The realm of cultivation would soon tremble beneath his malevolent ascendancy. The stage was set, and Liu Feng was ready to unveil his reign of darkness.
"The Malevolent Ascendant" had awakened.
