Chapter 18

Ash, Fire, and Dust. The sky burned red, the earth cracked open like an open maw of a giant beast. 

Today, Sun Moon Divine Hall suffered the wrath of the heavens, the impact's vibration was felt in both the neighboring and the far regions, those who were close will never forget the nightmarish scene of the falling meteor, they watched from afar in horror, as it the hit the ground, then the air the explosion quickly followed it along the blooming fire cloud in the sky.

Observing the explosion from a distance, the teleported young members of the Sun Moon Divine Hall lost their will to live when they saw the heat and the explosion expand toward them, there was no hope of survival for them, this time, death itself was coming from them, and no one ever managed to outrun death.

They flopped to the ground, some crying in shock and disbelief, some silent, already accepting the end, but, it never came. A violet light expanded outrunning the flames, and as if tightening the leash on the beast, it dragged it back to point zero, then everything vanished, leaving only a dust cloud spreading far. Forever scarring the minds of the surviving Sun Moon Divine Hall members. 

Radahn watched the big hole in space swallow the aftermath of the impact, his eyes reflecting a hellish scene of fire and destruction without even flinching for a moment for what he saw worse and nothing could make him bat an eye. The blooming flower of rot overlapped with the scene in front of him, reminding him once again about the ghosts of the past.

When everything was swallowed inside the hole aside from the ash cloud, he closed it and turned, flying back to his group.

Qingyue looked at her brother close-in, she lifted her head and looked at the overreaching aftermath then back at her brother, she didn't utter a word nor shake or feel afraid like the two palace mistresses whose faces had gone pale ' Deep inside, I know that I too would burn the world for my him… Everything he did was for me, since young it was his shadow that sheltered me. So no, nothing will change even if you end up killing all life. For I know that I'll do the same for you brother… ' 

With the arrival of her brother, she took a step forward and embraced him, without saying a word.

Radahn looked bewildered by his sister's actions, but still, he patted her head in return. Feng Qianhui being the oldest of the group was very experienced, she knew how the Cultivation world was cruel, so, she quickly regained her composure and said. 

'' Fortunately, we have you Yuanba, we don't know at what length the Sun Moon Divine Hall would have gone to take Qingyue away, I say that it was their fate, and the retribution that had been long awaiting to arrive. '' 

Gong Yuxian nodded her head following the older palace master, she didn't have her experience, but running Frozen Cloud Asgard made her understand the nature of the world.

Radahn broke free from his sister and nodded his head, he saw how unsettled they were before, so he had to say a few words. 

'' Your enemies will never take it easy on you, they don't differentiate the weak from the strong, the innocents from the guilty. In the end, killing is killing, a sharp knife to the throat or a rock falling from the sky, it's the same. What matters is what justifies the action, for me, it was them coming close to harming my family and that's enough reason for me to end them all. ''

Feng Qinahui nodded in understanding and mentioned with her hand at the unconscious Ye Xinghan.

'' What do you intend to do with him? He's the main culprit after all '' 

'' I know exactly what to do with him '' His eyes shone dangerously as he arrived in front of him. He created a violet curtain with his energy obstructing them from seeing what was about to happen.

He kicked the unconscious man waking him up with intense pain in the ribs

'' AH!! DAMN YOU!! '' He cursed out loud, without even realizing where he was or who was standing in front of him, all that came to his mind was helplessness and despair, and his father selling him for forgiveness. He knew that he screwed up this time but his arrogant nature since young made him unable to accept what happened.

'' WAKE UP YOU FILTH '' A sudden chilling voice made him open his eyes, and soon his guess was correct, for that demon was standing before him.

Radahn crouched low, caught the man's hair then pulled it up forcibly.

'' HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER? '' it was a simple question, but the dangerous feeling he got from hearing it made Ye Xinghan shudder.

Seeing no response from him, Radahn punched him in the face, knocking a few teeth out of his mouth.

'' AHH!! '' Ye Xinghan wailed while blood flowed from his nose to his mouth into his throat making him cough. He opened his wide at the Young man, The scene where his father sold him out and the never experienced disgust at his state, made him roar in defiance '' FUCK OFF!! KILL ME IF YOU WANT YOU WON'T GET A SINGLE WORD FROM ME '' 

Radahn's eyes stilled, and the dangerous light behind them disappeared, he lightly said '' Do You know… I promised someone before that I'd feed him his balls if he touched my sister... I guess I get to fulfill my promise after all '' 

Ye Xinghan's eyes widened in horror as he saw the man's hand reaching for his crouch; and screamed desperately.

'' W-Wait Wait, i'll speak; p-please nothing but that '' 

'' Too late… '' was the emotionless reply.

'' AHHHH!!! '' 

—----------------------------------------------

Qingyue and the two palace mistresses waited for a few minutes before the veil was lifted revealing Radahn alone, the young master his fate unknown. He created a spatial tunnel and said '' Come, there's one last man left ''

They assented and followed him into the spatial tunnel.

A few seconds later they appeared above the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, the mightiest sacred ground was way smaller than the other sacred grounds, their architecture maintained a simple and pure style, but their strength was recognized as the strongest on the continent

Up above Radahn didn't want to waste too much time dealing with foolish people, so he tyrannically exerted his aura over the sacred ground effectively rendering everyone immobile.

.

'' Wait here I'll be back shortly '' Radahan uttered before disappearing.

Xuanyuan Wentian, alongside the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region elders and the sword attendants, had been in urgent discussion regarding the tremors they felt coming from the Sun Moon Divine Hall. At the moment, when they decided who to send to investigate, suddenly a colossal pressure descended upon them, rendering everyone breathless and unable to move. They watched with eyes shifting from one direction to another a man materializing at the end of the hall, The sound of his steps echoed within the closed hall further amplifying the fear in their heart.

He stood in the middle of the hall. they watched as his eyes turned violet then, the gravity increased several folds, the wooden floors beneath them cracked and broke, and some even had blood vessels in their eyes explode then finally he spoke '' Who's Ling Kun? ''

Xuanyuan Wentian was once again reminded of the importance of power he pursued with passion since he was young, the man before him was an existence that could erase them without any resistance on their part. His eyes and everyone's shifted toward Link Kun when they heard his name and that was enough for Radahn to notice where he sat at the end of the hall.

He lifted his hands and brought him flying toward him, he gripped his neck and indifferently spoke 

'' Do you know that the girl you sold her news to the Sun Moon Divine Hall is my sister? Do you know your fate? '' 

Ling Kun's eyes widened in surprise and fear, he felt his mind get chaotic trying to get a hold of the situation and concluded that he was doomed.

'' Speak '' 

He felt the pressure on him disappear, and he immediately opened his mouth begging 

'' Senior I beg your forgiveness I didn't realize she was your relative, it was Ye Xinghan, he was the one who instigated me to search for a girl like her, please senior I beg you, I merely did his bidding ''

'' Lies '' Radahn looked at him in contempt, and the words he wanted to say died in his mouth seeing him beg for his life. He carried him and turned to face everyone in the hall.

'' Open your eyes, this is the fate of anyone who messes with my family. If anyone dares after this to touch my family or Frozen Cloud Asgard your fate will be worse than this worm or the Sun Moon Divine Hall. ''

He looked at the man one last time and then compressed the space around him, in an instant he was reduced to but a ball of flesh and blood. He glanced at them and then disappeared with the pressure.

Everyone looked at the ball-shaped Ling Kun in silence for a long time before someone uttered.

'' What happened just now? ''

—---------------------------------------------------

Over the coming few days, people in the Profound Sky Continent got to know that there was an overlord who destroyed Sun Moon Divine Hall and made The Mighty Heavenly Sword Region tremble with his presence, further investigation revealed that he was from The Blue Wind Empie and precisely from Frozen Cloud Asgard, everyone knew what had to be done, so they made the decision to never make trouble there and skirt away from Frozen Cloud Asgard lest they wanted to experience a similar fate to the nonexistent Sacred Land.

Once Radahn returned to the snowy region of the extreme north, life gradually returned to its usual pace, the pair of brother and sister were training every day, sometimes sparing with the now six fairies and continuing their pursuits, But the Palace Mistress Gong Yuxian was dealing with a huge headache in the form of an undless stream of emissonaries who came with a lot of gifts to try and carry favor with them. Even the three sacred grounds and the Divine Phoenix Empire sent their elders in the hope of meeting Radahn, but they had to dejectedly return to where they came from when he refused to meet anyone.

Two months after the incident Radahn opened his at sunrise, He went to his crafting room and worked a bit on some ideas he had been experimenting with, after finishing his task. He went to his bedroom where the silver haired girl lay on his bed. He had been nurturing her with his vitality and felt that she'd wake up soon, He looked at her mesmerized by the contrast between her silver hair and her tanned skin, Sitting beside the bed he brushed her hair with his hands, he prepared a bowl of water then dipped a towel into it and cleaned her face, obviously the girl didn't need much cleaning, but Radahn still did it, maybe because he took her out of the coffin or maybe his reason was unclear but to himself.

One hour later, Radahn cut the flow of his vitality and for the last time, made her lay better in bed, he turned to her eyes then stopped his action, for there were beautiful silver eyes as if it was the moonlight itself staring back at him.

'' Ah, you're awake! '' was all he managed to say under her watchful eyes.
