Qing Tian nodded and a look of nostalgia crossed his face as he remembered his times in those simple worlds.
"Then… did they come for you?" asked Yisha, seemingly understanding why the curse was placed on both her and Qing Tian.
Sighing, Qing Tian nodded and looked at her seriously, "I will deal with this myself. You can retreat and just keep yourself alive."
At that moment, Qing Tian let Yisha's hand go and turned around. Just as he was about to leave he felt Yisha grab his hand.
"Wait," she said. With a serious look on her face, Yisha glared at Qing Tian and spoke in an angered tone. "I don't need the protection of any person and nor will I hide away. So I will be sticking by your side until we have this problem resolved."
Qing Tian smiled, 'Got her.'
Turning around with a serious look on his face, Qing Tian warned her, "Are you sure? The curse itself will take a long time to remove. This curse is a special one that not even it's caster can remove it. Not only that, but there will be many people who are stronger than Deified that will be attacking us."
Yisha furrowed her eyebrows and exhaled, relaxing the tension in her body.
"I'm sure," said Yisha as she stared at Qing Tian straight in the eyes.
"Very well then, we will do this together," said Qing Tian as he held on tight to her hand.
"Good," said Yisha as she nodded before glancing at her hand that was holding onto Qing Tian's hand, which she also tightened.
Only after a couple of seconds did she realize what she was doing and blushed before pulling back her hand.
"Now, I need you to stand back," said Qing Tian as he turned around and glanced up at the sky.
"Hm? Why?" asked Yisha as she turned to look at the sky as well but found nothing up there.
Qing Tian didn't answer and instead continued to look up.
Just as Yisha was about to ask Qing Tian why once more, she watched in amazement as Qing Tian started changing right before her eyes.
Qing Tian's expression slowly turned serious as a smile creeped on his face. A strong power erupted out of his body and pressured everyone around him until Yisha stepped in and blocked the power.
Ignoring everything around him, Qing Tian focused on what was approaching.
Boom!
The Buddha world shook and an even stronger power began to shake the world as a small figure descended from the sky.
It was a white man with blonde hair, his blue eyes glowing as he slowly descended from the air.
However, Qing Tian wasn't looking at that man, but at the person behind him who hand their sword stabbed through the white man who was slowly dying.
The dying white man noticed Qing Tian and his eyes lit up as if he noticed his hope for survival.
"Sora…" mumbled the white man as he revealed a small smile on his face.
'Joseph…' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the white man.
Joseph, a Primordial Being who had granted Qing Tian three wishes when he had died. He hadn't seen Joseph since then, but he had believed that Primordial Beings were rather 'unbeatable'. (Ch. 1 Ascending to Supremacy)
Frowning, Qing Tian glared at the man behind Joseph, a manic look on his face.
"So you're Sora? Our leader told us so much about you," said the manic man as he looked at Qing Tian in disdain. "You're a lot weaker than I thought…"
Qing Tian remained quiet and just continued to look at the manic man, trying to gauge this man's powers.
The man smiled, knowing what Qing Tian was trying to do.
"Who are you?" asked Qing Tian as he glared at the manic man before him.
"I… I am Bing Lu… I was tortured by this man and his brother! All because I had crippled a good for nothing bastard!" (Ch. 120 Ascending to Supremacy)
Bing Lu revealed a look of anger as he pushed the sword in his hand deeper within Joseph's body. The look of disdain on Bing Lu's face grew more as he heard Joseph yell in pain.
The Rebate that came with Yisha and the Buddhists that were nearby were shocked by what was happening and remained rooted where they were.
They could feel the powerful and dark energy within Bing Lu and they were too afraid to even breathe.
"Hahaha! Squeal like a damn pig you bastard!" laughed Bing Lu as he gripped the back of Joseph's head, pulling on his hair harshly.
All this while, Qing Tian had brought out his sword as he looked at Bing Lu with a calm look on his face. His mouth opening and closing, speaking to someone… or something.
Suddenly a shrill scream erupted out of Bing Lu's mouth. Along with the scream, blood spewed out of Bing Lu's arms as both of his hands had disappeared completely.
"Aaaah!"
In the next second, whilst Bing Lu yelled in pain, Joseph had disappeared from mid air and reappeared in Qing Tian's hands. With no sword within his body, Joseph's pained expression had considerably relaxed.
Just as Qing Tian was about to heal Joseph, a hand stopped him.
"Normal methods won't work…" mumbled Joseph as he looked weakly at Qing Tian.
Qing Tian smirked and said, "This isn't any normal method at all."
"Wha-?"
As Joseph questioned what method Qing Tian was going to use, he watched in shock as Qing Tian's eyes turned into a mix of white and gold before glowing.
'Mystic Eyes of Life Perception?!'
The Mystic Eyes of Life Perception were extremely similar to Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Instead of seeing death lines and points, the user instead sees circles of life and chains of death.
The circles of life contain a bountiful life force that can completely heal a person at the brink of death and even remove illnesses and diseases. Whilst the chains of death can be cut down and bring back a person from death.
In rare cases, there can even be points of existence. Destroying these points can bring a person back into existence, usually these points are random unless one is extremely skilled with this ability.
"You…" Joseph was about to say something when he suddenly realized that Bing Lu was standing behind Qing Tian ominously. "WATCH OUT!"
Qing Tian just smiled and turned around calmly as he gazed deep into Bing Lu's eyes.
"So, you killed someone. Let me guess, this someone was a relative of this guy. Not only that, from your tone of expression and your 'magnificent' manners, YOU're the victim here?" Qing Tian asked condescendingly as he looked at Bing Lu with ridicule.
With just a single glance at this man, Qing Tian knew who was in the wrong.
"You…" Bing Lu's expression went cold and he instantly became angry. "System, buy the Ten-Tailed Beast God Companion."
Hearing Bing Lu mention a system, Qing Tian quickly frowned and quickly gathered his strength as he waited for anything that would come up soon.
Instant, a massive amount of energy appeared out of nowhere behind Bing Lu. It was a large amount of energy that slowly transformed into a beast with ten tails.
Many of the Buddhists and the Rebate watched in shock as a large and terrifying beast was appearing out of nowhere. They were shocked and some had even fainted already.
Yisha also looked at the forming Ten-Tailed Beast God with wariness, obviously feeling like this beast was stronger compared to her. She pulled her eyes away from the forming nightmare and glanced over at Qing Tian who was still calm.
'Is he really so confident?' she asked herself.
Yisha looked into Qing Tian's eyes from the side and noticed that he wasn't even looking at the Ten-Tailed Beast God, but rather at Bing Lu who was smirking arrogantly.
"Haha, your death shall soon arrive!" laughed Bing Lu as he took out a small metallic stick.
Holding the stick with both hands, Bing Lu snapped it in half letting a small green light escape from the metallic stick container before it escaped into space.
"..."
Qing Tian eyes still remained on Bing Lu, not missing a single movement of his.
The beast behind Bing Lu was still forming and everyone waited in suspense, waiting what kind of creature was going to come out of it.
It was then that they noticed a figure next to the forming Ten-Tailed Beast God stretching out it's hands before shoving them inside the huge amount of energy.
ROOOAAARRR!
The Ten-Tailed Beast God roared in pain and everyone was jumping in joy as the beast was slowly dying and being absorbed by the figure next to it. As more and more of the energy disappeared, they finally realized who the figure was.
Bing Lu!
"Haha! Become my food and let me grow stronger!" yelled Bing Lu as he crazily absorbed all of the Ten-Tailed Beast God's energy and strength.
Qing Tian continued to quietly wait to the side, watching as Bing Lu grew stronger and stronger.
"You can't let him grow stronger! I was bested in two moves by him before, now that he's absorbing the Ten-Tailed Beast God's power, I won't even survive a sneeze! I don't even think my brother could even last ten moves now!"
Joseph looked on in horror as Bing Lu's strength suddenly shot up by many degrees and even caused the air to slowly shake.
"Keep quiet," said Qing Tian, turning to look at Joseph with a smirk on his face. "Just shut up and watch."
Da… Da… Da…
Qing Tian slowly walked forward, his footsteps clearly audible in the ears of everyone as the pained cries of the Ten-Tailed Beast God lowered in volume.
Everyone focused their gaze on the figure walking forward to the madman floating in the sky. They watched as the back of the figure grew wider and bigger in their minds. The man was confident and so were his steps as he walked forward.
"Hahaha! You're a fool to be walking up to me so confidently! Even I am a bit afraid of my own power now," said Bing Lu as he chuckled condescendingly.
Qing Tian chuckled and looked up at Bing Lu, "Only a fool would be afraid of his own power."
Pa!
Feeling as if he had received a slap to the face in front of hundreds of people, Bing Lu could no longer hold back his anger as he suddenly disappeared from his place.
"I shall free you from your sorry excuse of a life," said Bing Lu, sprouting from Qing Tian's back with a dagger in hand.
"Tsk, such a typical move," said Qing Tian in disappointment as he turned his head around a bit to look at Bing Lu in disappointment. "Go ahead Sonzai, he's all yours."
"What?!" Bing Lu looked on in shock as he looked at Qing Tian's disappointed gaze. 'How the hell did this asshole find out! I perfectly hid every single part of myself! There's no way he would have known I was here!
Moreover, who the HELL is Sonzai!'
It was at that moment that Bing Lu suddenly felt his body go cold as an eerie laugh entered his ears.
"KAAAkakakakka!! I'm finally out!"
Looming on top of Qing Tian was a small skeleton the size of a baby wearing armor the size of it. It's eyes were just red balls of energy as they lit up in joy in being out in the world.
"Sonza?!" Joseph jumped in fright as he looked at the undead skeleton floating about Qing Tian without a care in the world. "That monster is alive!?"
Joseph was filled with fright as he looked at the chibi undead skeleton. This undead skeleton was once a living being, one that had died in a big battle between many Primordial Beings. This monster of a man had massacred every person in the battlefield and he only died in the end because he had beheaded himself.
No one knew why the monster of a man had beheaded himself, but they all the Primordial Beings collectively agreed that Sonzai was the strongest and most frightening being in existence, not even the King of the Primordials would dare to fight this man.
"Sonzai? Who the hell is that?" asked Bing Lu as he looked at the mini skeleton before him with confusement and anger in an attempt to hide away his fear.
"Hmm?" Sonzai's eerie laughter eventually died down before he looked down at Bing Lu with a glare. "Who's this brat, Master?"
