Chapter 364: Painless

Chapter 364: Painless

The realm began to churn within the presence of chaos. The two Kings entered the realm, they did not need any kind of ability to tell that chaos was gathering at its center.

The two Kings flew out they could feel it getting stronger, denser and most of all, more alive than the minute before. 

"Did he hide in this realm? I didn't think we would see him again."

"I know, I didn't expect it either."

The two Kings speak of one person, the General of the Emperor. Having the qi that almost resembles the Emperor's qi the two kings had always been envious of him. But after a long time, they had already gotten over it after the fight they had all those years ago.

"I feel, the space in this realm is being unstable, I don't think this world will hold out if we face the bastard. What do you think? Should we first get the beings of this realm out of here?"

"No, let us first wait and see what happens."

The two kings flew out at high speeds and a few short moments later, they arrived at the place where the space of the realm ended. A grey barrier was erected circling the Red Lands where the three ruins lay.

It was no ordinary barrier as the barrier before them was not merely acting as a wall. Its surface radiated dangerous qi that would try and erase anything it touches, spirit qi or a living being, it would be disintegrated if it was not chaos qi.

Garm and Philas stopped dead on their tracks. Garm was displeased as his path had been blockaded. He creased his brows and gathered qi on his hands, carefully manipulating the qi so that it would not go beyond what the world could withstand.

Boom!

An explosive amount of qi emerged from a single point in the area. It came from a simple strike, but it did not come from Garm's. They turned to a side of the barrier, boom* once again the barrier was rocked and a wave swept the area.

It was similar to God Might but at the same time different. Garm and Philas turned to one another and moved, with a simple motion they appeared near the area where the force of the God Might originated from.

There, an ethereal beauty stood before the barrier, her fist bloodied from the unknown number of punches she had thrown. Boom* once again she threw a punch and the barrier tried to devour her.

The lady was fearless, not letting anything get in the way of her mission to get inside the Red Lands. Her aura tells that she was full of hatred but she was also anxious, a weird combination that no one would be able to understand if they were not her.

Garm and Philas wished to take one step forward to stand before the lady and asked why she was doing such a thing, but they could not despite being the two Kings for The Four Deities stood between them and the lady. Garm and Philas were silent.

It took Garm a long time before he managed to open his mouth and asked if this person before her was indeed the one they referred to as the Mother of Beasts.

"Is she your Mother, Fae, Rith?"

"That is right, she is the one who gave us life, but she is not our mother. Currently, we do not know who she really is."

Fae and Rith did not know how to properly describe their emotions. Their despair was still in their hearts, it would not dissipate no matter what they did but after seeing Bai Xue punch the barrier of chaos tens of times, their despair transformed into a fleeting wind.

Bai Xue's eyes filled with longing and worry, she continued to knock on the barrier with her fist, with every little hit, the stronger her strike became. They could see it, something within her was dissipating, they wished for her to stop but they couldn't disobey her words to stay still. In the end, they were made to be spectators.

However, that does not mean they did not hate the one who was inside this barrier. Whoever it was causing their mother such pains would suffer under their wrath, it was something they had promised.

Garm looked at them and shook his head. He got closer to the barrier, and once again gathered qi to his fist. A red corona that circles his head over a full third but not a complete circle appeared.

Boom*

He did what he was about to do previously and punched the barrier, his intention was clearly to destroy the barrier before him..

Inside the barrier, within the tomb of the General who had been beaten to a pulp, Wang Ling stared at the skeleton. The words of the Gray Figure echoed in his head, but as it did, he drew out the qi of chaos that existed in his body and gathered it to his swords.

The skeleton was chained, it wore armor and the sockets of its eyes had nothing. From no matter what angle one looked at it, this was nothing but an ordinary skeleton.

But Wang Ling could feel it, the qi of chaos was present. It was similar to the qi that he possesses.

Without knowing what was happening around the realm, his intention became clear and he tried to slay the skeleton before him.

Wang Ling's sword quintessence of killing emerged in the form of bloodlust. He called upon his bloodline and with a start, his strength exploded and he disappeared from where he stood.

He wanted nothing more than to destroy the skeleton before him. In a split second, Wang Ling gathered his qi and made his move, the wind cried as the universe echoed and wailed.

The universe seemed to be trying to cheer for him as he tried to kill the skeleton. Wang Ling brandished his blade, and swung his right sword, and stabbing its forehead with his left.

The skeleton began to tremble and ejected light out of its body. Wang Ling could feel resistance in his hands, he fought back with his own strength and calling upon the two bloodlines, he ignited it both and drew everything he had.

Whatever it was that was hidden within, Wang Ling drew it in order to slay the skeleton that should already be dead.

The hands of the skeleton twitched and tried to attack Wang Ling, but his reflexes were fast enough resulting in the attack of the skeleton to fail.

"Turn to dust." Wang Ling calmly said and as he had uttered, the skeleton did indeed blew up and turned to nothing but dust.

Dust floated around him it circled him and then attached itself to him but it soon dissipated and the aura of chaos disappeared shortly after. 

"Is that it?"

Wang Ling's guard was still up, but after keeping it up for a minute, he exhaled and calmed down.

His body lost its tension and he was just about ready to get out. With this, the request should have ended. He would return to his family and then get back to traveling the universe trying to find out the apex.

But as he turned his back, Wang Ling lost control of his body and his hands stiffened. He now failed to control even the tip of his fingers. The voice of the Gray Figure then echoed in his head.

"Good work, my successor, I'll be sure to make it as painless as possible in order to spare you of any suffering."

The Gray Figure said these words and the chaos that disappeared suddenly turned up around Wang Ling's body. Before anything else could be said, Wang Ling's body absorbed every qi in the vicinity, and one after the other he broke cultivation realm after cultivation realm reaching the twelfth meridian before having his body implode.
