Chapter 4 – A raging killing God appears

A new day had dawned in the small town of Wudao, birds were singing and farmers could be seen lifting heavy bags full of vegetables to and from the fields. Various children were running up and down the street, a boy the age of eight could be seen flashing a blue light around his fist. The water element! A proud mother walked alongside him, as a crowd of villagers looked in astonishment that this small town of Wudao had given birth to another elemental user.

Another boy the age of twelve, although he looked to be atleast fourteen, looked over from a window at the ongoing scene. “Hm, that kid got lucky. If I had an element, ha.. I'd be unstoppable, and I'd capture a dozen princesses and take them all as my wives.”

It had been a full day after Moon had awoken and realized he had stepped into the 2nd stage of the Nursery layer. After fully regaining his strength, he decided to test out his new power in the field outside of Merry's house.

“Ah, finally I'll be able to contend with the other kids of the village. Rudans still at the 1st stage right? That means with some training I'll be able to kick his ass.”

Moon stood in the middle of an open field just behind Merry's house. A large oak tree was in the middle of it, and various birds were roosted on the top. Moon stood in front of the tree and closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Feeling the Qi in the air and absorbing it is considered the most important part about training, if you can't even do either you cannot call yourself a practitioner.

All of a sudden, a slow release of Qi built up around Moons body and was being absorbed into his dantian. When he was at the 1st Stage, he could barely even notice the Qi due to his below average talent, but since he ate the strange Spiritual Medicine and advanced to the 2nd stage, he can now finally absorb it but slightly slower than those with better talent.

As the Qi was being absorbed, a red green and black orb that was laying dormant in his dantian began to convulse. As the Qi began to fill it up almost half way, a three colored light suddenly shot out of his body and paralyzed him from the neck down.

Suddenly, dozens of memories from another persons life were being poured endlessly into his memory. Moon could never make out what the figure looked like, but many battles played out in his head and there were countless visions of a world that seemed so different to his 'Pan Gu'. One thing that he noticed was the aura this person gave out, it was a peerless dominating aura that even those at the heaven layer couldn't touch. He truly felt like a violent, raging killing God.

Moon suddenly found himself immersed in another place, but this place was much different and he was looking through the unknown figures eyes again.

The sky was black and spitting out tribulation lightning. The figure was stood atop of an enormous beast, almost twelve miles high in height and seventeen miles long. It's entire body was black with red veins trickling across it's body. Two gigantic horns protruded from atop of it's head, and the tribulation lightning from the heavens constantly shot down and was absorbed into the horns like a snack.

One could tell that beneath the beast was an enormous empire, almost ten thousand miles long with castles and constructs that looked to be built with technology that would make ones mind implode without the right understanding. Yet these amazing constructs looked to be in ruins and covered in a black Qi.

Millions and millions of bodies were scattered across the ground. Magical beasts that looked to be in the Heaven layer were strewn apart in thousands of pieces, these once proud beasts that could tear entire continents apart had been destroyed beyond recognition. Various cultivators could be seen hovering in the air above this fallen empire, staring at the figure atop the enormous beast.

Each one of them was covered in an immense Qi which could turn simple cultivators of the Nursery layer into dust. A man covered from head to toe in a violet robe with various golden accessories hanging from his body raised his golden meter long sword.

The sword contained dazzling patterns and emitted a fierce spiritual power, at a glance one could tell that this sword possessed sentience and was a Divine sword. Like spiritual medicines, weapons were also ranked the same way. Earth weapons were simple weapons which were boosted with an internal Qi of an elemental type, for example an axe with the Ice element.

Heavenly weapons could contain elements and also various skills which could only be used with that weapon. The mighty cultivator from the Tensho continent, Haowan, possessed the mighty 'Twin Element Razorback Longsword'. This sword contained a heavenly skill inside, called 'True Fire & Water Reborn'. This skill combined the elements Fire and Water to fuse as one and turn into a mighty dragon which would rain down from the skies and wash away and burn anything it encountered.

The final type of weapons were Divine weapons. These contained spirits, possibly past cultivators who didn't wish to die and fused their very existence with their weapon. Weapons with a spirit were extremely powerful, and would also grow with their user. They contained multiple elements and also had a whole array of skills stored inside them.

The man wearing the violet robe holding the Divine sword yelled out fiercely to the figure atop of the beast, his black hair flailing around wildly as his Qi was bursting out from his body at an astonishing rate.

“OLD WHITE! Don't you think you've done enough? How much more bloodshed do you want to cause?! You've already wiped out my entire Zen empire, isn't that enough? Five billion people have died today!”. The cultivators next to him nodded in agreement, their clothes rugged, clearly they had all been badly affected and had been lucky to survive the past battle which wiped out such an astonishing number of people.

Moon was still looking through the eyes of this figure supposedly named 'Old White', and couldn't make out any of his details except for his glowing white hair which reached down all the way to his feet. The man was holding an exceptionally large great sword which was covered in cracks and strange glowing inscriptions. A few words were engraved on the hilt, 'Calamity God Hand'. Even though it seemed damaged, it's sharpness and fierceness seemed unparalleled. Just one slash from this sword would wipe out an empire!

The figure finally opened his mouth, letting out a booming voice that shook every mountain and ocean for a thousand miles. His voice contained pure power, and the tribulation lightning above stopped raining down as violently, seemingly afraid of the power contained in this persons voice.

“One thousand years have passed since the murder of my clan. My ten sons, my five daughters, my wife and my clansmen. All annihilated by you and your Zen empires men. You say that five billion people have died today? What about when you wiped out all ten billion of my clan? I'll not rest until I wipe out every last one of you Zen traitors who stole everything from me.”

An enormous black light that seemed like it contained every negative feeling in the universe began to violently rotate around the enormous cracked sword. A ghostly image of a horde of two mile long emperor black dragons were hovering in the air above the sword, their roars were so dominating and fierce that the cultivators stood before 'Old White' began to feel like they would go insane and flee. Yet they knew clearly they had no way of retreating as this was a true life or death battle.

All of a sudden,a towering golden light shot up into the sky and filled the clouds with thousands of ancient inscriptions. This was coming from the violet robed figure, whose Divine weapon had come to face against the enormous cracked heavy sword and it's black dragons.

“Today one of us will leave this battlefield alive, and it will not be you! Grand Vexation Overworld Sealing technique!”.

The ancient inscriptions in the sky trans-verged and formed into one enormous golden word, “SEAL”. The word emitted a divine and holy light that hovered above the white haired man and looked as if it wanted to devour the foul black Qi that was covering the ground as far as the eye could see.

The huge sword in Old White's hand swung down with an enormous pressure which rushed towards the cultivators in the sky. The ones without enough strength could only watch as their existence dissolved and their souls were crushed, never to be reborn again. The mighty black dragons in the sky charged against the divine sealing skill. An enormous bang resounded out as a mix of black and golden Qi echoed towards the hovering cultivators and wiped them all out except for the violet robed man.

“I'll grant you a fate worse than death Old White! Your fate is sealed, you'll be forever imprisoned in a lesser mortal realm with no escape!”, yelled the Violet robed figure, the features on his face contracted as he showed a look of arrogance.

The overlords of the sky, the mighty black dragons from Old White couldn't take the overbearing pressure coming from the Grand Vexation Overworld Seal, and shattered back into their corporeal forms. He let out a sigh, “Old friends...”.

The golden seal suddenly transformed into a whirlpool of colors, twisting together to form a huge vortex. It violently came bearing down upon Old White, slamming him and his magical beast down to the ground. The enormous seventeen mile long beast was crushed instantly, unable to take the pressure from the seal as it was sucked inside the whirlpool.

Old White let out a vicious shout, his face looked as if it held every grudge in the universe. “Curse all of your living descendants and your dead ancestors! If I ever return to this realm, it shall burn to the ground and it will all be because of you!”.

The violent twisting vortex enveloped Old White, sucking him inside it. As he disappeared, the black Qi that was covering the ground for thousands of miles gradually began to disappear with him.

Moon finally opened his eyes. Many hours had passed and it was now night time and the tri-colored light that shot out of his body before was absorbed back into his dantian. His skin had gone from a healthy brown to a pale white and a pool of sweat converged around his feet.

As he stood up, his body was continuously shaking as he replayed the scene over and over again in his head.

“What kind of monsters were they? And that figure named 'Old White'.. what happened to him after he was sucked into that huge vortex?”.

He felt like he just witnessed a fight that occurred thousands of years ago between a pair of peerless killing immortals! This mysterious Spiritual Medicine he swallowed must have been the reason, and as for the three colored seed that was stored inside his dantian.. It all seemed like it connected to that reaper of death, Old White!

The memories from this persons life could never stop replaying in his head, and the desire to achieve this kind of strength was still flickering powerfully in his mind! He dreamt that one day, he too would be able to achieve the insane strength of that violent killing god.
