Chapter 1
The entire world was dark and silent. The night was as dark as a black hole, without even a ray of light.
No... there was light above a particular city in the Immortal plane... it was light consisting of many colours. It was the Heavenly lightning of different colours and mighty strength.
The city and its surroundings were under dominating and destructive suppression, Chaos and Brutal suppression. It was not from some person but from the very Mighty Heaven as if the Heaven wanted to destroy everything.
As the most powerful plane ruling over hundreds of millions of smaller dimensions and many Great Worlds where the formidable convened, the Immortal plane was exceptionally quiet.
The Immortal plane where the Gods ruled, the place where the mightiest Immortals, Sovereigns, Devils, Demons and Celestials who has reached the peak of Martial and Dao cultivation lived was still and entirely covered in darkness.
A beautiful grand city was situated in the central region of the Immortal plane. It was the most powerful and gorgeous city on the entire plane and was known as the Supreme city. The ruler of the city was none other than Supreme Martial God, the true ruler of the Universe.
No one knew his true name nor did anyone know his origin of birth.
He only spent a million years to attain the Supremacy across the entire Immortal plane thus becoming the strongest person in the entire Universe. He experienced the shortest rise to power in history, and at the same time, he was the Supreme God Emperor with the best martial intelligence.
He presided over the Heavenly Supreme city, ruling the various worlds for as long as a hundred thousand years.
Even though he was the Emperor, he never had any intension to rule the Universe and every living being and so he never created an empire, sect or clan and only controlled the supreme city where he lived.
He was the one and only supreme who cared about the lower realm worlds and their living beings. It is said that he has nine Disciples and all of them had been an orphan and their birth origin was from lower realms. People of lower status, cast and origin loved this legendary man to the core.
His personality being respected can be proved by looking at one of the Sacred traditions of the Supreme city 'The offering of food' to all the poor and needy in the city once in a week.
Due to his Supreme, peerless strength as well as his kind, respected character, each and every living being of the Immortal plane respected and worshipped him thereby considering him as the Emperor of the Universe.
As the God Emperor was nameless, people eventually addressed him as the Supreme Martial God according to his title in his twilight years due to his extreme attainment in the martial and Dao cultivation.
But now such a wonderful city was in ruins.
Boom.... Boom....
The sky was covered in Heavenly lightning with dazzling and dominating strength. Heavenly lightning continued striking the city.
Boom.... Booom... Boom.....
If someone could peer into the centre of the city, that person would find that most of the heavenly destructive lightning was striking a person who stood in front of a Grand palace and only some little lightning was causing destruction to the city.
Sigh....
The person raised his right hand and absorbed every lightning around him. Then he punched towards the sky. The power behind the blast was so mighty that the Heavenly clouds across the sky were blasted away. After blasting away the lightning, silence prevailed.
Buzz.... Buzz...
A few people appeared behind that person and kneeled. There were tears in their eyes. Some of them were men and the rest women. There were altogether eight people among which five were men and the remaining three were women. They knew the person before them was suffering from critical and deathly injuries.
Although he did not manifest air of majestic might, he had a handsome face, ruddy cheeks, a trimmed black beard, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes.
The person in front of them was their master, the Legendary Supreme Martial God.
"Master, you have to leave. We will stay and fight those bastards and delay them so that you can escape." A kneeling man said. He was the eldest of all disciples and his name is Oliver.
He was a five year old hungry child searching for waste food among the garbage in a dumping ground in the outskirts of a mortal town when his master found him. Other disciples call him the First brother.
One woman among the group was sobbing looking at the person standing before them and said " Master, we request you to please leave. Consider this as our dying wish."
She was the fifth disciple of the legendary man and was called Susan.
His disciples were all extraordinary demon level geniuses like him and way stronger than most of the other immortals. Most of these disciples created their own clan or sect and these individual forces were top forces within the Immortal plane.
Unlucky of them that their enemies outside the city are all in the same cultivation stage like their master, the very highest Peak cultivation stage in the Universe.
Fighting against them was like a moth going against fire. There is only one result possible..... Death.
But none of them retreated as if none of them were afraid of death and were ready to fight to death along with their master.
The standing person never looked at them. He was looking at the sky and then changed his vision towards a certain direction.
There were some people floating in the sky with smiles on their faces and they were looking at the person in the city who suffered injuries due to lightning.
One among those floating said " let's begin. What do you think Fiend god emperor?"
The person leading them furrowed his brows as if he was thinking something. He then shook his head. He was Fiend God Emperor a peak cultivator, a leading powerful figure in the Immortal plane.
" No, it is not the right time yet. Even with such critical injuries, he can kill us. It might not be as easy as he could have in his full strength but still even with these injuries by risking his life, he could kill us. It would be mutual destruction."
The other leading figures were shocked and started trembling upon hearing these words.
" Luckily we came to know about this legendary man's situation and used it perfectly or else he would have reached 'that stage'. How lucky of us... If that person did not betray this legend, then we would not have got this chance so soon".
Suddenly, out of the void, a strange crack appeared. From the crack, a pair of long, skeletal hands stretched out and pushed the crack wider.
As the crack widened, the owner of the pair of skeletal hands slowly emerged and stood up. Strange red lights shone from the hollows of its skull, and its white, bony body, covered in countless greyish runes, glowed steadily.
A frightening lifeless aura was released, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.
"Hahaha…"
Shrill laughter pierced through the abnormally strange ambience, and out of the closing cracks emerged an elder with a pale white face without a tinge of blood and covered in wrinkles and his eerily piercing eyes glowed a deep bloody red.
He was shrouded in blackish-red robes.
" Ghost Emperor!"
When the red-robed elder appeared, the other people shouted out in unison.
A masked man among them said "We were waiting for you".
The red robed elder nodded but his dark red eyes were burning bright and his vision was fixed on the grand city in front which was now in ruins.
Ten thousand years!!!!
They had conspired for Ten thousand years just for this day. Ten thousand years of bitter waiting, just to kill that legendary person!
Supreme Martial God!
A red light flickered in the Ghost Emperor's lifeless eyes, unable to conceal the brimming emotions that were running through his heart. He slowly lifted his hands and pointed at the sky.
"Look at the sky, the Heaven is enraged. None can survive after facing the wrath and fury of the Heavens. Hmph.. Let the curtain rise as the real show begins now."
Kaboom..... Bam... Bam...
Immense amounts of violent, brutal, and festering sounds were all released from the sky.
Psk! Psk!
Screeeeeeech!!!
Instantly, the heaven and earth cried out, the winds and clouds changed colour, and the space shuddered!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ripples of sound vibrated across the vast expanse, transmitting deep sounds akin to that of war drums.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, the Heavenly lightning clouds lit up, and countless multi-coloured patterns suddenly appeared.
The patterns surfaced from all directions, flashing blinding lights and they released a vigorous aura that converged towards the centre of Heavenly Lightning Cloud.
Under the illumination from the glowing light, a dazzling face formed on the midair Heavenly lightning Cloud, encompassing the entire sky.
BANG!
"There's no need for us to go through this much trouble. Looks like Heaven is helping us to destroy him." One of them said looking at the sky and then towards the city.
" Yes, it appears that we have nothing to fear and our mission would be a success".
