Chapter 34 - To Live

After Kyle dropped unconscious, he got transported to a realm that he has never seen before. In this realm, there was nothingness, only black earth that stretched as long as the eyes could see.

There, in the far distance was a man that looked like he was walking on earth, but if one looked closely one could see that he was, in reality, walking just above it, gliding on the air. He was carrying two buckets of water in both hands, one was white as milk and had lighting in it, the other was white and yellow with small dragons roaring and swimming in it.

The man was walking very slowly, it seemed as if he was trying to go slow, but in reality, he was travelling at unbelievable speed.

The man suddenly stopped and looked in the Kyle direction before a second has passed. He was already standing right next to Kyle. Kyle was unconscious, and he was standing there, blankly with closed eyes.

Kyle was not able to understand anything right now. He was still recovering from the pain that he has just experienced. All of this was just like a dream for him.

The man looked at Kyle and said, "Finally, a good seedling that inherited my Dominion Technique." The man smiled warmly as if he was looking at the grandson or a child of his that he dearly loved.

"I see that you got recruited from earth… Even better. You now finally will be able to show the world who you are." The man gave Kyle another look and suddenly gasped in shock. He placed his hand onto Kyle's stomach directly where his dantian was and closed his eye.

"So you somehow managed to get the Sky Seizing Pearl? All the gods have been going crazy for the past trillion years trying to find it. It has been regarded as lost and forgotten, and it has finally appeared here?" The man's eyes were looking at Kyle's dantian and the treasure with lust and desire in his eyes. But after a second, he went back to normal. "Ahahah," he started laughing, "to think that a junior of my, To Live, world of Game would get as lucky as to find a Sky Seizing Pearl! This is simply fantastic."

The man stepped back and regained his composure. He put his hands in the clapping motion and said, "Now I understand why you are here. This is Sky Seizing Pearl beginning its awakening. I will be waiting for you, Kyle Lin here on heaven. I hope that together we can finally accomplish my goal." With this said, he waved his hand and Kyle suddenly lost connection to that world.

He woke up at the same place as before. His body was still numb, and every cell was hurting. When he opened his eyes, it was as if he had the world's worst hangover ever, and everything was hurting. His head was spinning, and he wanted to vomit.

Once Kyle reopened his eyes, he couldn't understand what exactly happened here.

The vast green range that was surrounding him and the beginning of the forest where he hunted was nowhere to be seen. The only thing that surrounded him was a crater of earth and rocks with Kyle being in the middle of it. 'What the hell happened here? Was I transported to somewhere?'

Of course, the tent that Kyle had was disintegrated as well. Nothing was left of it.

Kyle climbed up to the top of the crater to see where he was and what he saw really made him gasp in shock. He was at the same green land, but the crater the size of 10 kilometres in diameter suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Plus the forest that he was exploring also got hit, and most of the areas that he explored were already gone.

Kyle remembered that there was a trap door the last time that he revealed using his lucky charm and the trap door was just on the outskirts of the explosion, still intact.'I don't want even to think about what I could have possibly released from there if the explosion hit it as well. I really wonder what happened here.' Kyle looked around and couldn't really get any clues. Then he sat down in the meditation position to see if he suffered any damage from the explosion. The only thing that remembers now was him losing consciousness due to the extreme energy pulses of the pearl.

Kyle looked around again after he remembered the violent orange energy that pearl was radiating. He blinked a couple of times, "No way! That is impossible!' Kyle didn't want to believe that something inside his body could create such a huge wreck.

Just as Kyle thought about meditating to check his insides, it is when it hit him.'I have to run now! I can not stay close to this place. The explosion of this size might have been seen from the flying rock city that passed, maybe one of the cultivators that could fly could come. Then this would be truly the end of me!'

Kyle fast checked if he could scavenge anything and started running as fast as he could in the direction of another forest that he got recommended to explore.

After running for an hour at the fastest speed, Kyle saw someone on a flying sword drop in the distance to the place of the explosion. After 10 minutes, another person came, and suddenly more huge explosions and sounds of battles resounded. Kyle was already at least 20 km away from the side of the crater, but he could still see and hear the battle sounds. That meant that those that battled were really strong and much stronger than Kyle.

After 5 more hours of running, Kyle finally arrived at the forest that he wanted to explore. This forest had the same level of power as the previous forest, which meant that he could experiment with his new power here now.

The forest itself was rockier and had lots of ravines and caves. Kyle chose one that was on the green grassland to make as his base. His tent, after all, got deleted from the world. Kyle went into the cave, and after making sure that it was rather clean and with a bonfire at the front, he started to meditate.

Kyle's spiritual consciousness flew started in his head and flew down towards the dantian. The whole experience seemed very foreign to Kyle. As if it was not his body but someone else's. The bones were for some reason, orange in colour as if it was copper. The meridians were white as if they were made out of jade, and all of the organs were reinforced with a protective layer of some orange tissue.

The dantian was the one that changed the most. It now was not only perfect in shape, but it also had 3 defensive layers with the last layer resembling a beehive structure that radiated power and strength. It was also orange in colour.

Next Kyle went into the dantian, and suddenly he heard the voice.
