《King Of All Heavens》Chapter 49: Molting

'Shit we're going to die!'
'What?!'
'He's that disciple who sent hundreds of experts to the Xi Manor!'
'The person who bid hundreds of high quality spirit stones leisurely!'
'that's him!'
The crowd all held the same thoughts as they looked at Wang Tian fearfully.
Ku Feng heard what that man said and his eyes furrowed. He looked at Wang Tian and saw the youth also looking at him with a smile while giving him a nod.
"Ah! I've really outdone myself this time around." Ku Feng said.
He slowly attempted to bow at Wang Tian but was stopped by the youth mid way.
"Old man don't bow to me. It's alright. You've helped me and I'm grateful for that" Wang Tian said with a smile. The old man helped him and he wasn't the sort to repay kindness with cruelty.
Ku Feng looked at Wang Tian nodded satisfactorily. Such a magnificent disciple! Being able to remain humble and not throw his weight around when he's superior to all the people here is quite a feat!
Teng Fuo looked at the scene with cold sweat running down his back.
'Shit! I even thought of killing him! Phew! Good thing Fu Ning yelled it out otherwise I would have been courting my own death!' Teng Fuo thought to himself as he looked at Wang Tian and Ku Feng.
Then he looked at Ku Feng with envy.
'Hmp! He always gets lucky! I'll give you a piece of my mind sooner or later old Ku!' He thought to himself.
Wang Tian scanned the crowd thoughtfully.
Since his identity was now exposed, he no longer needed to restrain his bearing.
In an instant, he transformed into a different person. Someone who was fitting to be labeled as one of the disciples from a behemoth sect. If he continued to act humble and lowly. Then not only would it cause them to think lowly of the sect but it would also make them think that members of a behemoth sect were pushovers.
"I believe I am qualified to become an Alchemist Master. Does anyone disagree?" Wang Tian said. His voice was neither loud but it wasn't silent either. He said it plainly but all the people present except for Ku Feng was scared shitless and thought of Wang Tian's words as threats.
"No no no, Young Lord, we wouldn't dare disagree!" The old man who asked Ku Feng nicely earlier hurriedly replied.
The remaining people all nodded in agreement quickly.
The people there quickly found an excuse for themselves to leave the place. Some of them said that they had to feed their chickens while others their animals and pets. Some even shit themselves out of fear.
Wang Tian laughed at the scene. The feeling of having power and letting people look at you with fear and respect was very exciting! How fascinating it is to be above all others!
In the end, he was given the identification plate for being an Alchemist Master. The Alchemist Guild threw a banquet before he left and Wang Tian attended it.
Ku Feng saw him off but when Wang Tian was about to leave, he told Ku Feng to follow him. The alchemist grandmaster found it to be odd but he followed.
When they were in the inn, Wang Tian closed the door and entered the room with Ku Feng.

"What is the matter Young Lord?" Ku Feng said.
Wang Tian looked at him deeply and then seriously said,
"Old man, although you're a bit too old. I'm quite fond of expanding my men. Do you want to be my follower? "
Ku Feng was shocked when he heard what Wang Tian said. He gulped down a bit of his saliva and then thought about it for a moment.
"I'm an old man and I have reached the limit of my potential. As you can see, I'm still stuck at Wanxiang Adept realm. Maybe this offer of yours will be the turning point in my life." Ku Feng said emotionally. This was a golden opportunity! How could he pass this up? To be able to be a follower of a disciple from that sect was akin to soaring into the heavens!
"Then swear to the heavens that you will never betray me." Wang Tian said with a grin.
Ku Feng nodded and said, "I, Ku Feng, vow to become Young Lord's follower and swear to never betray him or harm his interests! May the heavens bear witness and smite me if I do!"
Wang Tian nodded and thought about it for a moment.
"Since you're my follower, there is no need to hide such a thing from you" Wang Tian said as he slowly removed his eye patch.
Ku Feng felt a bad feeling about it but his eyesight was completely focused on Wang Tian's left eye.
Wang Tian removed the eye patch completely and looked at Ku Feng with his pure black left eye.
Heavens!
What have I seen!
A human having a pure black eye? What is this??!
"Ah!" Ku Feng exclaimed as he fell on the ground. He felt a tremendous amount of pressure from Wang Tian's left eye. It made him feel immensely scared like a powerful beast was preying on him. About to eat him and rip open his flesh. He found himself unable to move at the presence of Wang Tian's left eye.
Wang Tian put on his eye patch and the pressure that Ku Feng felt disappeared.
Ku Feng struggled to stand up. He looked at Wang Tian horrified yet his eyes contained immense excitement. This was what he was hoping for! What was that immense pressure? And where did it come from? How can a pressure so powerful come from a Houtian Realm youth?
Author's note: So as you can see, people can't see Wang Tian's real cultivation base which is that of a Xiantian Lifeform. Since Xiantian Lifeforms are very rare, they are also hard to see with a glance. People need to have devices in order to see whether or not the person is a Xiantian Lifeform.
"Young Lord, what-what was that?" Ku Feng asked weakly.
"Call me Young Master." Wang Tian said.
"Young Master" Ku Feng said. The way he addressed Wang Tian went through change. From brat, to Young Lord and then to Young Master. This was how the world works. With status and power, people will automatically revere you.
"Nevermind what that was. What I want to ask is, do you want power like that?" Wang Tian asked.
Yes! With this statement, it automatically revealed Wang Tian's aim for taking Ku Feng in as a follower!
Ku Feng felt waves harrass his mind again as Wang Tian's words echoed in his ears.

"Of course Young Master!" He quickly replied. He was getting quite used to the surprising things from Wang Tian as this was the sixth time.
The first time was when Wang Tian was able to refine a pill with such a destructive method! The second time was when Wang Tian introduced the Denying Destruction Pill. The third being the time Wang Tian's identity was exposed. The fourth being Wang Tian exposing him to his left eye. The fifth being him subjected to the pressure of Wang Tian's left eye and last but not the least, the sixth. Which is Wang Tian's question.
Just like before, this was a golden opportunity! Ku Feng's eyes were shining.
Who in this world didn't want to have extreme power? Who in this world didn't want to gain pressure that could make someone fall down on the ground?
Wang Tian didn't answer but flicked his hand. In an instant, a dagger appeared in his left hand. He cut his right hand, the part of his body where there were scales open.
The sight of someone having scales surprised Ku Feng again but this time, he didn't have the same intense reaction.
Blood came falling down from Wang Tian's hand.
He stored the dagger and then took out a cup from his bag of holding.
He poured his blood on the cup slowly. Drop by drop, the cup was filled to a fourth of its maximum capacity.
Ku Feng didn't make a sound and just watched the blood fall drop by drop. His heart was pounding deeply.
"Here. Drink this and assimilate with it." Wang Tian said.
Ku Feng already expected this so he was calm but he was trembling with mixed emotions on the inside.
"You see, I have a very special bloodline. But I won't tell you and let you experience it yourself. As my first follower, this is my gift to you" Wang Tian said with a smile.
This was what Wang Tian wanted. To test on whether or not his bloodline was the same as his Senior Long's. Something that could be given to others.
His blood contained the blood of the demon race. Anyone who drank the blood would change into a member of the demon race. Fortunately for Ku Feng, Wang Tian's tribe wasn't like the other tribes where they were barbaric and wanted to wreak havoc everywhere.
"Do it here. I'll look out for you" Wang Tian said.
Ku Feng stared at the blood and sat down cross legged. He drank it and assimilated with the blood.
Ku Feng felt a very powerful force enter his body and assault his insides.
"But, old man, there is a twist, the bloodline I possess isn't something people like you can assimilate into. But, since you're my first follower, I won't treat you badly and let you die." Wang Tian said evilly.
"Senior Golem" he called out.
In an instant, a man who has a bushy moustache clad in silver appeared holding a spiderling that was about five inches in his hand.
These two were Senior Golem and Little Blood.
"Senior Golem, please assist this old man to not die. I want him to assimilate my blood and see what becomes of him" Wang Tian said.
"Alright" Senior Golem answered. He walked towards Ku Feng and placed his hand on Ku Feng's shoulder.
Little Blood on the other hand was feeling ecstatic. It was sensing a very familiar scent. Wang Tian saw this and then reached his right hand out. Little Blood jumped on his right hand and then lay comfortably on his right arm as that was the place where there were scales.
The process went on until it was midnight.
There were times where Ku Feng would fall unconscious but Senior Golem would wake him up and Wang Tian would remind him that if he were to endure the pain, then he would become a dragon amongst men. Or more correctly, a spider amongst men.
The process was painful because the bloodline was rejecting and fighting Ku Feng as his body wasn't that compatible with Wang Tian's bloodline.
But since Senior Golem was there, the experiment proceeded with much ease.
The process was done! It was successful!
Inside the room, there was a body that looked exactly like Ku Feng laying on the floor lifeless. It didn't really look like a corpse but that of skin and a shell.
This was Ku Feng's old body! Or in spider terms, an exoskeleton!
The new Ku Feng was standing proudly.
Ku Feng underwent the molting process that is common in spiders. His bones were much more sturdy and his skin was hard as rock. He now had lines all over his body and face making him look extremely scary. His face was now much vigorous and looked a hundred years younger! He looked like he was in his thirties! Ku Feng's eyes were similar to Wang Tian but there were differences. Wang Tian's eyes are pure black but Ku Feng's has a purple line in the center. Making him look much more scary but appealing.
This surprised Wang Tian. He circled around Ku Feng and inspected his body.
He was really satisfied with the results and couldn't help but acknowledging this experiment as a success. Now he knew that he can give others his blood and make them his people.
"How do you feel old man?" Wang Tian asked Ku Feng.
"Young... And powerful" Ku Feng replied. His voice was completely different from before. It was much more deeper and scarier.
"Very good. Now, Ku Feng, You will be the first general under my command." Wang Tian said.
"General?" Ku Feng asked.
"Yes, my mission for you now is to slowly recruit and nurture talented yet unrestrained cultivators in the Moon Summit Empire. However, you must do it secretly. Do not alert the powerhouses in this place. Do you understand old man?" Wang Tian instructed.
"Yes Young Master. I do" Ku Feng replied. His personality also underwent a huge change. He was much more cold and unlike before, he wasn't talkative now.
Senior Golem looked at his Young Master with interest. What is this Young Master of his planning to do?
"I will be back in the future and I hope that there will be results by then" Wang Tian said as he handed Ku Feng a bag of holding.
Ku Feng opened the bag of holding and couldn't help but tremble in surprise.
There were about a million high quality spirit stones in there!
"Use them as you see fit. I'm giving you a lot so I don't expect any failures." Wang Tian said sternly.
