Anyways Enjoy :)
The child has been exploring the island for two weeks straight since he had mysteriously awoken by its shores. During his exploration, he had not encountered and beast or any wildlife at all, if you don’t count the trees and herbs.
During these two weeks, after exploring the island slowly, he wanted to build a small base for himself. However, finding or to be more specific building a base was harder than he thought. Living inside a mountain for so long, as well as the fun memories of living inside one, he was very reluctant to live in another dwelling.
Lucky, on the other side of the island was a small opening of a cave going underground. Going inside the opening, after crawling for a few minutes, he landed in a similar space, like his last home. Seeing that is was perfect, he decided that this would be his base for the time being.
Crawling out of his home, he started to stretch before starting his training regime. Going to the nearest shore, he started to walk around the whole island for two rounds before slowly increasing his speed. If anyone would see him now, they would be surprise at the speed he is running as constant as a sports car in full gear, with the difference of he is keeping the speed consistently.
After a few hours, Kueng Ning stopped running and sat in a meditative position, on the shore when he first arrived at the island. He was lost in thought as he gazed over endless sea. However, that all changed when a large dark cloud was approaching him at high speeds.

He looked towards the dark cloud with despair and fear, as for some reason, he knows that coming in contact with that cloud would bring nothing but pain. But, his body wouldn’t respond, as if a powerful force was making him stay and confront the cloud.
In a few minutes, the cloud had completely engulfed him. At first the child was not scared, but his expression suddenly changed, when his pores was being forcibly open, and his body being made to absorb the dark cloud.
Slowly, the dark cloud entered his body via his forcefully opened pores. This process for him was incredibly painful and excruciating, as though he could feel the dark cloud was made from Qi, it was Qi he had never absorbed the essence off, and now all of a sudden it was forcefully integrating itself to his body.
He screamed in pain. Hugged his body as he fell down, in despair he tried to rip his own skin open, wanting to reject the dark cloud, but his body wanted to completely devour the dark cloud. But, his body wasn’t only devouring the dark cloud, it was also devouring the essences of everything around him, to the water near him, all up the way up to the sun’s rays.
Getting up slowly, his eyes we’re bloodshot with blood flowing out from his eyes, mouth, ears, in short blood is coming out of his whole being. However, the blood was not red, instead black with a bad pungent smell accompanying it.
Kueng Ning, fought through the pain and started to slowly walk back to his newly found home, however along the way, the once beautiful forest started to get ruined, and the island was starting to look like a massive battlefield of two very powerful cultivators.
Every time his right foot moves, the land began to crack and melt as hot molten lava comes out, and every time his left foot moves, the land began to freeze and snow began to drop from the sky. However, that was not all, trees and plants began to wither, yet at the same time bloom, as if being reborn from death.

He wanted to continue until he reached his home, however the pain was really too unbearable and it resulted him in being unconscious, falling down the molten lava and frozen snow land.
However, even though he is unconscious, his body continues to absorb and devour the dark cloud and everything including around him. Even the essence of the lava, snow, death, and life, was being absorb by him.
This continued for days, weeks and it even reach until a month. The land was now bare, without anything growing on it, the only possible living thing you would be able to find is the child, laid face down on the ground sleeping.
Mysteriously, around the child, there was nothing, as if the blood, snow, and molten lava, didn’t even exist in the first place. He slowly opened his eyes and started to examine his surrounding, and saw around him was no longer a forest, but a barren dessert, without the sand, but soil.
At the same time he woke up, he could hear weird sounds coming from above him. It was his first time seeing such a strange creature. The only thing he could make out of it, was at the side of this strange creature was a painting of a Phoenix.
As soon as he saw the Phoenix painting, voices started to resonate within his head.
“The Phoenix Clan shall die”
“The Dragon Clan shall die”
“The Turtle Clan shall die”
“The Tiger Clan shall die”
“All Beasts shall die”
“Death to the Phoenix Clan”
“Death to the Dragon Clan”
“Death to the Turtle Clan”
“Death to the Tiger Clan”
“Death to Humanity”
“Death to the Beasts”
“Pave the Way for Demons!”
Like a chant, it kept repeating in his head until he completely became entrance by it. His eyes turned lifeless, like a doll with only a single thought, a command to be more exact.
He didn’t even notice the three red robe cultivators surrounding him, and six other people wearing lab coats taking pictures and arranging strange equipment’s.
“Capture him” a woman with red hair and red eyes said, commanding the three cultivators.
