Sky Fire Realm

Cross pointed at himself and the old man said "Yes, you! The villain! Stealing from our Longteng Company and tarnishing our name! Let everyone hear this! 500 million Fairy Crystals and a Realm Weapon for whoever brings in either of their heads to the Longteng Company!"

Countless people looked at Cross and Long Chen with greedy eyes. Cross smiled and said "Very good. The Sky Fire Realm is opening soon isn't it?" he looked around and said "One of you morons, tell me how long." someone said "A month's time." Cross clicked his tongue and said "Very well, after I tuck my wife into bed and read her a story to sleep, I'll post up at the Life and Death Arena. If you're ready to go see the King of Hell, come fight me."

He chuckled and said "Or, if you're too impatient attack me in the city. I'll wash the city with blood, no problem. But..." his tone turned ice-cold as he added "If you attack my wife, you better pray you have 3 legs to run with because I will slaughter your entire clan. Not even a dog or chicken will escape!"

Everyone trembled at the last bit and Cross took Feng Xue'er away with a happy smile saying "I have a gift for you~" Feng Xue'er giggled and they left. Long Chen sneered and left with Yu Qingxuan.

Cross met up with Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan, he took out a Realm Level gold furnace with a phoenix on it and gave it to Feng Xue'er saying "I stole this from some old guy." Feng Xue'er held the furnace in shock and said "Hubby, you..." her eyes became red and she hugged the furnace saying "I love it." as the cauldron buzzed, recognizing the Master.

Cross smiled and kissed her, Long Chen coughed and said "Alright, Alright. I've eaten enough dog food." Yu Qingxuan giggled and said "Sister Xue'er let's go back?" Feng Xue'er separated from Cross reluctantly and he said "Don't worry, come to the arena tomorrow. I'll even go into the Sky Fir Realm with you."

He flexed and said "Remind you of your husband's strength!" Feng Xue'er giggled and left with Yu Qingxuan, she disappeared and Cross' smile disappeared into his blank face. Long Chen laughed and said "You change faster than a woman!" Cross replied "Says you. The thief." Long Chen choked and said angrily "You stole more than me!"

Cross shook his head and said "We stole the same, I checked." Long Chen almost spurted out blood, before grumbling "I'm locking up for the month." Cross nodded and said "I'll be at the arena if you need me..." he took out a ring and said "The herbs. There's also the White Liquid in a small gourd."

Long Chen took it and muttered "We need a better name." Cross said flatly "Purity Dew" Long Chen snapped his finger and said "Perfect! I'll see you later!" Cross nodded and they separated, Cross posted up at the arena and stood inside.

He got a customer and said nothing, they sighed the Life and Death agreement and Cross immediately separated the man's head from his body in a single second, also stealing his storage ring in the process.

The crowd was startled and Cross sat back down, holding his scythe on his shoulder, waiting for the next fool to walk up. Someone didn't believe it and offered his life to prove it. The same thing happened and Cross only blurred this time, not even getting up from his sitting position.

The days passed

Cross didn't even change expression as the heads piled up like a hill. He said "Break. Come back in an hour." as he walked off and lit a cigarette leaning on a building in the city. He watched the people pass by and saw Feng Xiang stumble and fall in front of him, beaten and bruised.

Feng Xiang looked up and saw Cross, he squeaked out a "Please, help me." before falling unconscious. Cross exhaled a mouthful of smoke and a bunch of people appeared before attacking Feng Xiang and by proximity, Cross.

He frowned and waved his hand, the group had their heads roll to the ground. Cross took their storage rings and turned the corpses to dust, he looked at Feng Xiang on the ground and stayed silent.

If he remembered correctly, this kid was the city lord's son and the self-proclaimed next city lord. He remembered hearing that he was dis-owed by the City Lord and the Feng family entirely. Cross looked at the City Lord's mansion and locked eyes with a man through a window.

Seems like the City Lord isn't se ruthless as everyone thinks. Cross turned to Feng Xiang on the ground and held his neck with his scythe before looking back at the mansion. The man was stoic but Cross saw him tremble.

Cross returned the scythe to his wrist and dragged Feng Xiang away. This Feng Xiang was too pampered which led to his arrogance and debauchery. A spoiled seed, maybe he directly ignored his father but that wasn't Cross' problem.

Cross threw Feng Xiang into an alleyway and tapped on his abdomen. All the Qi in his body vanished and he was rendered to a mortal state, Cross tapped a golden light on the kid's forehead and drew a line to his abdomen, connecting the two together.

He took his storage ring and reduced his clothes to a coarse sack, cut his hair poorly and stripped him of shoes, food, and water, before leaving him there and walking back to the arena.

When Cross completely left, the city lord flashed over and checked Feng Xiang, he saw the golden thread connecting his mind to his star space. His eyes flashed an unreadable light and he cracked a smile before disappearing.

Feng Xiang woke up to find himself dirty and all his Qi gone. He paled and checked his storage ring to see that it wasn't there anymore! He was in despair and sat there for an entire day before his stomach rumbled, his dead eyes flashed with a bit of desire. He was mortal but he could come back!

Cross made it so he could see his cultivation at all, which led him to believe he was a mortal again. Feng Xiang stood up and disappeared into the alleyways.

Finally a month passed

Cross was standing next to Yu Qingxuan's chariot, flirting with Feng Xue'er. Long Chen appeared and several young masters shouted "Die for me!" Cross frowned and said "Scram." his voice traveled and everyone who just shouted, bled from all 7 orifices and fell to the ground, dead.

Cross went back to flirting and teasing Feng Xue'er, who would giggled and blush. He really loved this woman, she was cute, smart, and would laugh at his bad jokes.

The Sky Fire Realm opened and everybody rushed inside. Cross walked forward, talking to Feng Xue'er saying "Stay with me, look at all these walking Sky Fires! I'll get them all for you." Feng Xue'er pouted and said "I'm fierce, okay!?" Cross took a step back and said "Okay, okay, my little Xuexue is super fierce. Just let me spoil you, please."

Feng Xue'er trembled, he was almost begging her. Her heart ached and she finally nodded gently. Cross brightened up and straightened out, acting like a Peacock as he said "Today, you'll see how handsome your husband really is!"

Feng Xue'er giggled and held onto his arm. Cross smiled and said "Don't die." Long Chen chuckled and said "You're not dead, how can I die?" Cross chuckled and a fierce light flashed in his eyes as he said "That's true... Maybe I should take care of the dogs then..." he jumped into the gate with Feng Xue'er, leaving Yu Qingxuan and Long Chen with the two guards outside.

When Long Chen got inside there were only corpses without storage rings. He chuckled and flew away.

Cross and Feng Xue'er flew around hand in hand, shooting towards the giant whirlpool far away from them. They came across a giant lizard and Cross killed it, it exploded into a ball of light. He grabbed it and said "This is the Spirit of Sky Fire?" Feng Xue'er came over and looked at it saying "I don't know."

Cross made a funny face and said "Aiya, Xuexue, I don't know either!" Feng Xue'er giggled and looked at Cross, he pinched her nipple and she yelped. He quickly threw the flame ball into her mouth and it melted.

Feng Xue'er slapped his shoulder saying "Unnecessary!" Cross snickered and said "I like teasing you. You make the cutest expressions." Xue'er blushed and said "You're a big idiot!" Cross hugged her and said "I know~" Feng Xue'er laughed and said "Ah! My cultivation rose!"

Cross snapped his fingers and said "Your body is fire! SO naturally when the fire gets stronger you get stronger! Hhahaha! Xuexue! Prepare to enter the Immortal King Realm!" he went into his Void Battle body and picked Xue'er up with two arms before speeding off at high speeds.

Feng Xue'er was shocked and said "What is this?!" Cross replied "Void Battle Body, do you like it?" Feng Xue'er scrunched her nose and said "So many arms?" Cross smiled and said "It's better like this, I have more ways to kill." Feng Xue'er rested her chin on Cross' shoulder, their cheeks touched as she said "You're so strange..." she sighed and added "When will we be done with the killing..."

Cross was silent and killed flame beasts, giving them to Feng Xue'er before sighing and saying "Soon, baby. When everything is over, we'll live in peace and have a bunch of babies." Feng Xue'er smiled softly and asked "Do you know where Amelia is?"

Cross shook his head and said "I don't." Feng Xue'er looked extremely sad, her eyes even started to water. Cross said softly "Xue'er, she'll be okay. She's a big girl, the next time you meet she may surprise you." Feng Xue'er wiped her eyes and said tearfully "I know but.. She's my baby."

Cross wiped her eyes and said "It's gonna be okay, Xue'er. Trust me, even if she dies, I'll go to hell and bring her back. I promise." Feng Xue'er stretched out her pinky and Cross hooked his pinky with hers before kissing her delicate hands.

Feng Xue'er smiled a bit and Cross handed her a dozen flame balls. She ate them like candies as her cultivation rose. Cross continued to speed around, even in the thick air. Flame Runes littered the sky and Feng Xue'er was absorbing them, laying on Cross' back with a happy smile.

She missed these times where he help up the sky for her. She knew it wasn't good and he carried a lot of stress and burdens but she couldn't shake the feeling of his tall figure protecting her from the wind and rain. If she was being honest with herself, she would rather be a mortal girl and be protected by him for her entire life even if she was to die from old age.

She was a girl, she wanted to be protected. This was her deepest desire, but she knew it couldn't happen. He was strong but to fight off the world he still needed support. Her favorite was being protected but her second favorite was protecting.

Cross flew around and slaughtered flame beasts as time passed by.

Cross and Feng Xue'er came to a giant volcano. Cross smirked and dived into it, they swam in the lava, completely fine as their bodies were basically fireproof. Well this fireproof. Cross had a blackhole on his back, connecting to Feng Xue'er as the fire runes and beasts were sucked into her body as well as his.

Cross dived deeper and deeper, the beasts and runes got stronger as they traveled. Soon they reached the bottom and touched the ground. Cross looked around and saw a cave, his eyes lit up and he went inside with Feng Xue'er.

They walked deeper into the cave and the eventually came into a wide open space with a gold crystal floating in the middle of it. Cross smirked and Feng Xue'er gasped saying "Realm Core?!" Cross nodded saying "Yes, Ma'am!" he grabbed the realm core and the world trembled.

Cross took Feng Xue'er out of the volcano and said "Hold onto it very tightly, don't let go. I have a plan for it." Feng Xue'er held the crystal tightly and Cross teleported around the Sky Fire Realm, to the strongest beasts.

Cross had Feng Xue'er point the crystal at the beast and pressure it into death. Cross collected the flame orbs as they teleported around. Half the orbs went to Cross and half went to Xue'er, but half of Cross' half went to Xue'er as well from the necklace.

Feng Xue'er's realm was rising at an incredible rate, she was already at Divine Lord 9th Level Late stage. A little more and she would be peak! Cross wanted her to get to the Immortal King state either inside or outside, but he had a gift for her, if he could do it, her strength would increase leaps and bounds.

Cross appeared in the air in front of a group of people. He looked down and said "3 sky fires..." Feng Xue'er sang "Someone's gonna have a bad day~" Cross grinned and recognized the people were hostile to him before. He didn't say anything and attacked, sucking out their Sky Fires and then killing them before stealing their stuff.

He threw the Sky Fire seeds into Feng Xue'er's mouth after 'cleaning' them with his flames. Feng Xue'er giggled and Cross said in his defense "Hey, those animals could carry diseases! I'm not going to let my little fire fairy get a disease!" Feng Xue'er ate up the sky fire seeds and licked her lips saying "I love you."

Cross grinned and said "Heh! You finally realized?" Feng Xue'er burst out laughing and Cross flew away, feeling the sky fires with the crystal. There were countless people inside, but not all of them were hostile towards Cross, though he didn't really care, Xue'er was with him.

He would 'politely' ask them for their sky fires and trade with them. He got quite a few low ranked Sky Fires like this, trading King Weapons and some Realm Weapons too. He even sold a boat for the 6969th Sky Fire- the Nice. Fire!

Luckily for him, most of the arrogant morons who were hostile to him and Long Chen had strong Sky Fires in the triple and double digits! What a boon! Cross started keeping the seeds in a bowl made of black flaming Qi.

Feng Xue'er asked what he was going and Cross said "Experiment. Maybe we can make a new Sky Fire for you." Feng Xue'er shook her head saying "It's birthed form the Heaven and Earth, you can't just make a new one...." Cross snorted and said "What Heaven and Earth bullshit? In this world, whatever this Daddy says, goes!" Feng Xue'er's sweet cheery lips made an 'O' shape before she said "Can you give me another baby?"

Cross laughed and said "With pleasure! I'll pump you full of-" Feng Xue'er covered his mouth and said "Okay! Okay! Do you want everyone in the Realm to hear you!?" Cross licked her hand and she took it back, giggling as she wiped it on his shoulder.

Cross said softly "I'll give you as many babies as you want, Xue'er. Just wait, okay?" Feng Xue'er hummed and looked at him lovingly. Cross smiled and they flew away, coming across the young masters from the restaurant!

Cross grinned maliciously and ruthlessly stole their Sky Fire's before brutally killing them and stealing their Rings. He got the Devouring God flame and the Sun flame! He added them to the bowl and continued to hunt for Sky Flames as Feng Xue'er absorbed flame runes on his back.

As Cross hunted all the Sky Fires, except for the people who were friendly and the people who didn't want to trade for weapons, Feng Xue'er reached Divine Lord Peak.

Cross felt all the Sky Fires were gone from the Realm and he looked at the bowl with countless Sky Fire seeds, he made a swirl of black flames on his palm and said "Hope this works!" Feng Xue'er rolled her eyes and Cross lowed her palm into the bowl, mixing the seeds together.

A terrifyingly hot aura rushed out of the bowl and Cross focused hard, sweat pouring from his head as the heat was getting to him. Feng Xue'er said "Cross, maybe-" He cut her off with a 'shush!' as he focused on the bowl with a serious face.

Suddenly, the sky bloomed with countless fire beasts, phoenixes, fire flowers, dragons, suns, etc. Cross held the singular seed in his hand and got excited as he said "It worked! It fucking worked!" Feng Xue'er was stunned, but then said to herself in her mind 'Of course it did, my husband is omnipotent'

Cross burst into mad laughter as he held the seed in his hand, the bowl dissipated already. He handed it to Feng Xue'er and sealed it as he said "Keep it in your ring, don't take it right now, okay?" Feng Xue'er nodded and Cross smiled, before looking in a certain direction as he said "Looks like food came straight to my mouth~"

As he sped away towards a familiar Fire fluctuation.
