Chapter 18

[Lower Realm 11]

The sun rose slowly, filling the world with its warm light. The common people is slowly waking up from the nightmare that happened only recently.

The mass abduction of every talented younger generation. They want to know what's the cause of this. They want to know what is the intention of it. So many questions but don't have an answer.

The people were filled with dread as they imagined countless scenarios inside their head. But the majority remain hopeful and optimistic. Why? Because their child or relative didn't get abducted which somehow made them happy since their child will have less competition.

Convincing their selves that everything is fine. Everyone that had been abducted will somehow come back.

***

As the sun rose, the participants of the competition also rose from their meditation and cultivation.

They opened their bright eyes filled with burning and fighting spirit. They are young, so they want to prove their selves to be the best among these group of talented people.

They want to win this competition and get their own rewards. The path of cultivation, it is filled with blood and bones.

If you want to get stronger, you need to compete with other people. This is the law. Stepping on other geniuses and forging their own path.

As a young martial artists, they are filled with ambition and hot-headedness. The want to proclaim their self as a highest under the heavens. The one who stood at the highest. The one who ruled everything.

"Everyone gather inside the hall." An announcement from a sweet and alluring voice was heard by everyone and they hastily move towards the hall.

Once they entered the hall, silence ensued as everyone saw him again. Still on that position, sitting on the throne with his face resting on his hand supported by the throne.

They still felt suffocated at his supreme and noble aura. The majesty he had, the dark, mysterious and dominating temperament. No one can talk in the younger generation in his presence.

The difference from yesterday was that his eyes are closed with a little snake coiling around his hand and people with outstanding auras surrounded him.

Fang, Bilou, Yunxi, Wanxi, Yaoyue, and Ji Xian surrounded him. They had oppressive auras that also suffocated them, even if they want to look at their beautiful faces, no one can do so.

They felt small and felt that they are too good for them. They are just like bright sun for them. Only to be gazed upon and never looked again, if you look longer, you might get blind.

Long Xiaosheng opened his eyes, the atmosphere froze from the sheer pressure it had as chills run on every spine of the younger generation.

Their backs became drenched in sweat in no time at all. Horror and fear are visible to everyone's eyes.

They faintly saw a grotesque being filled with blood and bones in the field as it munch on fresh flesh!

With just opening his eyes it already cause them to freeze. What will happen if he moves?!

As he opened his eyes, as if it's a usual occurance, Yunxi took out a wine glass and a crystal like pitcher filled with purplish red 'wine' and pour it into the glass.

She gave it to him and he accepted it gracefully without even making a ripple of the liquid in the glass. Xiaosheng took a sip in it as his eyes curved up.

In fact, the 'wine' is a mixture of demon and human blood essence. It is not an ordinary blood as it was distilled and processed using flame and ice essences. Making this 'wine' rich in essence and pure infernal energy.

Sometimes, when he go out 'hunting', he also hunted some humans and demons. Of course it is done secretly, because not just any human are his targets. Those who had special body or what they call divine bodies.

That's why there are some cases of report that humans with divine bodies are being kidnapped. But no one solved the case till now. Of course, the human Empyreans turn blind eye to this as theirs aren't targeted, only those below world king influences are targeted.

The world king influences might be angry but they don't know who the culprit is so they can just vent on some ways and protect their members tightly.

Demons are also getting kidnapped but no one bats an eye to it. Why would they? They were demons so they guess other demons must be hunting and they just needed to be careful. In the DemonDawn Great world, killing and other type of crimes don't exist unless other races do it.

Xiaosheng locked them up on his spatial ring like cattles. To be raised and milk everytime he needed and want it.

He enjoyed it as it had a rich flavor in his tongue, the first time he tasted a blood, he became addicted quickly to it and he tried various ways to create his own wine.

Wanxi usually is the one who milks them and Yunxi was the one who processed it.

Xiaosheng quickly emptied his glass and Yunxi filled it again. After emptying another glass, he took a look at this bunch of humans.

He look at Yaoyue and she stepped forward and speak in a plain tone. "In a few minutes, you will enter the mystic realm. If you want to get the rewards you need to kill 100 person and simply collect their spine. Why? Because that is the rules Young master has set. There are great opportunity there that you will come across and might be beneficial to you."

She continued, "The Young Master don't care how will you take or kill your competitors, what matters is the result. How many you've collected is what matters. By hook or by crook, no one will care."

"Atleast get 100 spines of your competitors, more than that can be used for an exchange with artifacts according to their respective prices. Then with the highest and the second highest spines will receive a reward and lastly, if you can find the hidden pieces the young master has put in the mystic realm you'll receive a reward from him directly."

The geniuses burn with fighting spirit. Their eyes reflected their desires, girl or boy, it doesn't matter, greed overtook them all.

Xiaosheng shook his head when they saw how everyone was filled with hostility. Humans are so fickle and greedy at the same time. But that's why it is fun messing with them.

On earth, if an alien suddenly appeared and wants to talk to humans but it requested a representative, you can just sit back and watch how the humans will go to war for the position of the representative. Then you can imagine the end result of it.

They are so greedy, lustful, nearly everything a demon would do but humans are also kind.

In the face of treasure and power, everyone would show their real faces. The ugly truth about humans is it's violent nature. More violent than demons and monster.
