《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 31: Entering Abyssal Prison
Advertisement
After five days and nights of intense fighting. Both Shenzi and the lizard are exhausted, huffing and puffing both ready to double over any second. After the continuous brutal combat. The two lumps on the back of the lizard's back, sprout two wings flickering with purple streaks of electricity.
Remembering the pain all too well of his bare ass being bitten through, Shenzi decides it is time to get his revenge. With an unknown source of vigour coursing through his body, Shenzi jumps ten feet into the air, exploding the formed air pockets around his body to support his temporary ability of flight.
Landing on the back of the lizard's neck, Shenzi punches down with full brute force on the lizard's head. Long on the verge of already collapsing, the three-ton body of the lizard caves in on its legs falling helplessly to the ground.
Smiling viciously Shenzi envelops his hands with his Retribution Flame, bending down in a squat position and grabbing the lizard's recently sprouted wings, Shenzi pushes down on the bottom of his feet. Extending his body while pulling his arm back like a rocket launched from the launch pad, following a loud shiiiii sound that was all too familiar to the lizard.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. YOU MOTHER FUCKER IT TOOK ME FIFTY FUCKING TO GROW THOSE WINGS!" Enveloping the two wings with his Retribution Flame burning them into ash. Shenzi laughs out tauntingly "It will take you another fifty years, and once again I will come back to rip them out."
Kicking the giant lizard's body away for more than twenty metres, Shenzi walks for six kilometres finding himself another cave. This time enveloping the cave with the aura from the Tears Of Rose pocket world, Shenzi enters his Spiritual World for a long rest to recover from the exhaustion of his fight.

Upon entering his Spiritual World, Shenzi sees Ren and Zen both looking at him with eyes trying to hold back laughter. Knowing that they had both fully healed two days prior, ignoring it and continuing to fight the lizard. It never crossed his mind, everything on the outside world projected through into his Spiritual World where his two "disciples" had watched it all go down.
Saying a simple sentence "Not a word is to be spread to others." Shenzi passes Ren and Zen separate manuals. "This is a duo cultivation method where two who are training Ice and Flame element, can combine the two to form an equilibrium. Both of you are twins, your understanding of each other, will bring this technique to great heights one day."
Walking to where his garden is with the multitudes of alchemy herbs. Sitting down cross-legged in the middle of the garden, on a mat Adria had sewn for him with the word Eternity in the middle. Shenzi cuts all emotion with two differentiating columns of Flame and Ice enveloping one half of his body. With complete control to not burn or freeze any of his plants and precious herbs he collected. Unknown to him the Zen and Ren twins look at Shenzi with complicated gazes, looking at each other in mutual understanding. Not wanting to be left behind, but one day to be able to be Shenzi's sharpest swords. Both begin operating the duo method from their respective element, similar to the time Catherine and Shenzi did. Forming a vast Yin and Yang symbol while continuously strengthening their foundations.
Three days pass by on the outside world. Shenzi leaves the Tears Of Rose pocket world and begins his last hurdle to enter Abyssal Prison. With both Ren and Zen entering a state of enlightenment. Shenzi exits the pocket world on his own. Interrupting a once in a lifetime state like this, that some don't get the chance to enter, would be a waste worthy of being struck down by heaven's tribulation.

Leisurely walking through the Raging Tide Marshes, and picking up various plants and herbs ranging from one-hundred to seven-hundred years old. Shenzi arrives at the teleportation channel. There stand two people both at the peak of the second stage. Looking down on Shenzi disdainfully "Trash scurry away from here before you get buried ten feet under."
Walking forward ignoring their words. Shenzi throws a bag of fifteen purple coins equalling 150,000 to both. "Distribute it between yourselves as you will, the next time you disrespect me, I will kill both of you sending your decapitated bodies to your family."
Walking through the teleportation portal and entering the Abyssal Prison.
Shenzi arrives in the wasteland region where peak stage two, and initial third stage Mutant Beasts occupy. Graded as a level two danger zone following in order as one as the lowest, and five as the highest.
Taking his first breath of the air Abyssal Prison emits, the joy Shenzi had of walking into a land of life and death to temper himself is shortly ruined. In the sky, two eyes open up looking at Shenzi with murderous gleams. Feeling the aura of slaughter more suffocating than the previous time, Shenzi feels massive signals of stress to push himself forward.
Raising his right arm into the air flipping his middle finger to the expert, Shenzi states loudly "In four months time I will walk into your territory, and show you what a real god of slaughters demeanour is."
Wandering without a goal into the wasteland Shenzi sees a cloud of sand rapidly approaching his direction. Looking he sees a clan of best man charging him, unsheathing White Flame walking forward with rising momentum, Shenzi closes his eyes surrounding the following thirty-kilometres with his Spirit Force. Picturing the image of every beast man's breath their feet stomping across the wasteland, the formation, and weapons shing as they're unsheathed.
Breathing in through his nose, and out through his mouth. Shenzi calmly collects himself while shutting off all his emotions, focusing purely on slaughtering his way through the beast men.
With the horde of 15,000 beast men just metres away. Shenzi finally acts billowing out with his killing intent and Sabre Qi. With each swing, White Flame devours tens of lives. Calculating each step and arriving upon hundreds of "game overs." Shenzi forces his way through the horde of the beast men. Killing with every step, being injured every passing breath.
Using the pressure and looming threat of death to push the gene locks on himself. Only through this crushing pressure can one make significant changes in a short time frame.
Rotating his Nature Qi, absorbing the aura of death and converting it to nourish his body and the cells craving for food. After previously unlocking the first gene lock. Shenzi had come to understand, to break through the limits placed upon humans. The fastest way is to absorb the life force of other races. Converting it back pushing through all the gene locks and impossibilities.
