Here is chapter 13, hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 13: Sea of Blood

Actually the world hadn't just turned red.

The first thing that happened was that the time in the entire city suddenly froze, trapping all the people inside it.

Even though the time froze and they couldn't move an inch, the 7 nascent cultivators, were still able to barley sense what happened. As for the other people in the city, for them the time just had stopped, along with themselves.

The city lord was shocked.

This is a dao of time ability and not only that. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Absolute Time technique. It's only available for someone that has fully comprehended the dao of time.

But that's impossible, normally a deity would be extremely talented and would have astonishing attack power if they had comprehended an entire dao and even more if it's a high heavengrade one.

But the thing happening next shocked him even more. Strange lights appeared around Zes and started rotating around him.

Each of them having a different color and giving of a completely different aura. A light blue one giving of a frosty aura of never melting ice. A green one giving of a feeling of unending live and many other ones rotating around him and making it look, as if he was surrounded by a galaxy of stellar body’s.

But the socking thing was not the appearances of this orb shaped lights but the things they represented. Each of the orbs represented a complete dao and was called dao essence.

Dao essence was normally a thing only beings of the deity stage could create and control. They represented the daos the cultivator had completely comprehended and wielded the complete power of their respective daos.

For someone of the nascentstage to create only one would be already something heard only in the legends, telling about geniuses creating creationstage daos but for Zes to create even more than they could even count.

It was just terrifying and exceeding any logic they knew about.

They even double checked his cultivation only to find it in the mid nascentstage.

Then Zen pointed with his hand towards the old wrinkled man and a faint voice called out.

„You may witness the might of the first human cultivator of this world. “

The orbs rotating around him one by one flew towards the old man. As they made contact with him the powers of daos one by one destroyed his body.

But Zes didn't used the whole might of the dao essences that would immediately killed the man and left nothing but dust. He used them to torture him.

The ice essence froze his meat, the fire essence burnt it, the rainwater essence slashed his skin into pieces and the wood essence healed the wounds. After that another essences once again destroyed his body only to be healed by a dao essence with healing properties.

Horrible cries sounded out, until the old man lost consciousness only to be woken up by the dao essence of awareness and once again be tortured.

The other demons were frightened by this scene. If they would have spoken the same words as the old man they too would have been tortured like this, unable to do anything, just feeling the pain and slowly lose their minds.

Blood flowed down and the street under them was already flooded by blood, making a terrible view.

Zes just quietly stared at the old man as he screamed in pain. In fact his screaming was only possible because of him wanting to hear his suffering.

Finally the old man fully lost his mind and foam formed at his mouth.

Zes breathed in and also calmed his anger. He ended his technique and the time began to flow normally. A smashing sound appeared and the corpse of the old man smashed into the sea of blood beneath him.

The city lord and the other cultivators just quietly looked at him fear in their eyes.

They feared they would be the next.
