《Celestial of the Void》Chapter 9 : The First Step
Advertisement
Terrified screams could be heard followed by a long silence as Silver reached the village entrance. A chilling yet maniacal laughter emerged as he go closer to the center as the smell charred flesh became heavier.
Once Silver reached the center of the village, he could see a middle-age man gripping on a young boy's throat. He had an eerie smile showing his sharp, pearly white teeth with fangs. His face appeared riddled with scars, giving a sense of danger with his bright-red irises. The middle-age man slowly tighten his grip around the young boy's throat, listening to the young boy cursing incessantly while struggling to break free.
"A child at the peak of External Realm dare challenge me? I'll give you a quick death for your bravery," smiled the middle-aged man.
"Too bad you be able to meet Grandma Meng."
A sharp snap could be heard as the boy's body went limp. The middle-age man began laughing hysterically still holding onto the boy's neck. He found this village on his way back to the sect so he decided to have a little bit of fun.
He then stared at the dead youth within his grasp, using a technique to inhale the boy's soul. A bright blue orb slowly formed out of the young child gaping mouth, their eyes still filled with fear, regret and anger.
"FENG FENG!" bellowed Silver running towards the middle-age man.
Realizing he was too late saving his grandson, devastation welled up inside his heart. He was a minute too late but if the man ate his grandson's soul, he'll never forgive himself.
An incredibly dense and vicious killing intent clouded his mind, including the surrounding area. Tightening his fist, Silver increased his speed in attacking the middle-age man distracted from devouring his grandson's soul.
Taking notice of Silver's action, the middle-aged man tried to dodged the attack while letting go of the limped Feng Feng. Barely dodging Silver's punch, he tried to block with his left arm. Instead of actually stopping the punch, his whole left ripped off instead.
Before he could understand the reality of the situation, he gritted his teeth as the pain of losing his arm finally triggered through his nerves.
"WHO ARE YOU? Why is an expert like you hiding in a small village?" the middle-aged man demanded furiously clenching his teeth to not let a scream out.
Cold sweat covered his whole back. He felt truly unlucky to encounter an expert in a remote village. All he wanted was to vent his frustration and have some fun in this small village.

If he knew such an expert hid here, he would've taken the long way around the village in a heartbeat.
"Why do you have the need to feel angry over a few weak ants and these useless mortals?"
"Weak? Useless? You dare speak to me after killing my grandson? How can I explain to my son and daughter-in-law when they visit my grave!? I will kill you!" Silver howled furiously as he never experienced such anger since his youth.
He no longer kept his shackled strength in check, releasing the power of an immortal legend once more into the world.
The air around them shook as the sky became filled with dark, gloomy clouds. Thunderous roars echoed throughout the world, lightning striking around the village as if heavens was clamoring in fury.
It almost appeared as if Silver's anger is their anger.
"I-I- am part of the gre-a-at Slaughter Fiend Sect, Elder Tralen! My sect will avenge me and kill you if dare try!" Tralen stuttered in complete fear. A feeling of complete doom gripped onto his aching heart while the hairs on his body suddenly stood up.
Circulating his qi, he threw a light talisman that was meant to blind the enemy. Without anymore words, hidden by the light, he instantly activated an escape talisman that would allow him to escape 1,000,000 kilometer away from the area.
A blinding light blocked Silver's view, only grabbing a piece of Tralen's robe as he teleported from the area into the dense forest.
Even though the attempt was useless, it still enraged Silver. Stomping his right foot, he flew towards Tralen with sound breaking speed.
"Slaughter Fiend Sect!? I should have uprooted them many years ago!" Silver retorted grasping towards the fleeing Tralen.
"HOW DARE YOU ESCAPE?"
Luckily for Tralen, flying away for his life, the sect was nearby allowing him to seek refuge from the expert. In his mind, even with an expert, there was nobody besides the immortals that could travel a million kilometer in mere seconds.
Looking ahead with a joyous expression, he scrambled pass the open entrance while alerting all of disciples to shut the gates quickly. The disciples followed the command, although confused, closed the gates relatively early.
Tralen, a mid-ranking elder within the Slaughter Fiend Sect, ran into the grand council room alerting all elders to an emergency meeting using a command token hanging before him. Before all the elders, including the grand elder and patriarch could gather, an explosion rang throughout the sect.

Tralen felt dumbfounded as he turned his head at where that sound came from. Looking back, the cloud of dust begun settling down as he noticed the front gates had been obliterated into pieces. Nearby the gates, he could see the expert from the tiny village strolling towards the main hall like it was his own backyard.
Strong killing intent invaded the atmosphere of the sect, immediately enclosing towards Tralen. He tried to move but was unable to budge a muscle as he fearfully stared at Silver come closer in each terrifying step.
"Stop!" an old man demanded as he flew in between Tralen and the expert.
"I am the patriarch of the Slaughter Fiend Sect. May I know our esteemed guest, name? And what has our elder troubled you with?"
"My name is of no concerns, I came to obliterated this fool! Never mind the villagers he killed, my dead grandson's soul was nearly consume by him! Either let him die, or I'll uproot up the whole Slaughter Fiend Sect! Eradicating it from history!" Silver threatened while his killing intent slowly constricted the purple face Tralen.
"My incinerating flames of anger will only subdue when it's vengeance is resolved!"
"Foolish old man! Just because you're slightly stronger than me, our sect is easy to bully?" the patriarch sneered seeing that Silver only had a strong body with no qi.
"CULTIVATORS OF THE SLAUGHTER FIEND, ERADICATE THIS DERANGED MAN!"
"I see, I guess this is your fate. I will show you the strength of the most powerful immortal who shattered the heaven!" Silver bellowed as he balled his palm into a fist, releasing all of his killing intent.
The sect's ground began to crumble, buildings collapsed on the weakest disciples, instantly killing them. Violet lightning struck the earth, giant debris struck more disciples, feeling fear as they fled for their lives.
Just balling up his left fist in anger could cause so much destruction.
If Silver wanted to eradicate the whole sect, he would do so by killing every single person belonging to it. Without pulling out even the small hairs of the root, it can grow back if fate allows it.
Silver stomped into the ground, catapulting himself up into the sky seeing a full view of the whole Slaughter Fiend Sect. Tightening his right fist, pulling it back, he punched out with an amazing force that created spatial rips while shattering the surrounding air.
**OOOHHMMMMM
An incredible force could be felt from his full strength, collapsing the whole sect and the earth underneath. With just a punch, he instantly annihilated the whole Slaughter Fiend Sect and the surrounding 1,000 kilometers.
If the Patriarch knew or had seen Silver before, the most powerful immortal, he would given up Tralen without hesitation. Sadly, his judgement was lacking as a recently became a newly emerged patriarch.
Every ancestor of the Slaughter Fiend Sect had already ascended so there were no salvation for them. The Slaughter Fiend Sect was no more, faded in the history of time.
Few months later, Silver could be seen standing in front of a small tombstone. The name Feng Feng was carved onto a stone tablet that was imbedded into the earth.
Staring at the name, shoulder slumped with an audible heavy sigh, Silver had been standing there ever since he buried the whole village for many months. He wandered all over the forest, under a deep trance. Ever since he erased the Slaughter Fiend Sect out of existence, his life force had begun dissipating at an incredible rate.
Finally walking upwards to the top of a mountain on a warm, moonless night near the tiny village that no longer existed.
Staring at the stars, a foreign qi began circulating through his meridians jolting his mind awake. The emotions in his heart opened up a void as a serene feeling of emptiness consoled his very soul. All the clustered thoughts and feelings vanished as his dormant mind woke up from the false misery.
"I was once a powerful immortal that shattered the heavens!" Silver declared aloud standing on top the mountain with a face that expressed strong determination.
"Come my halberd! I am still the number one immortal, the heavens cannot stop me! Fate cannot stop me! I will pave my own path way into the void! I shall shatter my shackles, break these binding chains, and trample those against me! BREAK! FOR! ME!"
Silver swung his great halberd against the heavens once more, shattering the illusion that binded his mind and soul.
He finally obtained something that he would never grasp in his past life. To become unfetter throughout the void, unhindered in his path of cultivation. Reaching the top with a single step.

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
