Cross and Long Chen got back to the Academy without a problem. Nobody dared to stop them at all. But news of their names spread throughout the entire Immortal World, Long Chen asked Cross if it was alright and Cross said that he didn't care, let them come.
Long Chen smiled thankfully, he knew Cross was just saying that. Luna's voice was quite loud and he was right outside the door. He had heard everything she said and was a bit shocked if he was being honest, it seemed this brother of his had a story as well. When Cross told him about his life, he just gave a general overview, he didn't go into details.
Cross didn't really care about spreading the news for 2 reasons. One was that he knew Long Chen wanted his family and friends to know he was safe and alive and the other was that he didn't use any of his power only body strength, he didn't know that some special people could tell even without him making a move.
They arrived at the Academy and celebrated for 3 days. After that, Lu Mingxuan, Luo Xue, and Luo Qing were escorted back home. Lu Mingxuan had a tearful goodbye with Cross, must to the displeasure of her escort. Finally she kissed him deeply before she left, it was estimated that her parents would definitely hear about this and be beyond angry.
Cross was helpless against this and just said that he would come find her in the future. The rest of the girls scattered and went to started cultivating hard. They didn't want to fall behind, especially after Luna's big speech.
A month passed
Cross was drinking, when Long Chen dragged him along to watch Bai Shishi's Tribulation to the 4 Extremes Realm. Cross was being dragged on the ground and still drinking as he said "New clothes? Nice. Though it's not really my style." Long Chen spat "You barely wear any clothes, I've never seen anyone like you!"
Cross shrugged and a blush appeared on his face as he said "It's call a 'Wild' look understand? This is fashion." Long Chen coughed "Fashion my ass. Your strange clothes look much nicer than the other's robes, but you just wear nothing. It's a mystery."
Cross sighed and said "Who can understand the mind of a genius?" Long Chen chuckled and said "Why aren't you in the 4 Extremes Realm?" Cross laughed and said "The Thundercloud will be huge. If I want to do it, I need to leave the Academy, plus, my final piece isn't ready yet. Soon though... Very soon."
Long Chen smiled and they got to the Valley where Bai Shishi was. Cross sat on the ground next to Long Chen and drank as he said "Why did you drag me along to sister-in-law's tribulation?" Long Chen said "For insights." Cross shook his head and said "What insights, we just need to survive. lmao"
Thunder fell on Bai Shishi and the disciples trembled in fear. Cross sighed and said "What is this discrimination? The lightning is so gentle for her. Is it because I'm not a woman?" Long Chen laughed and Mu Qingyun said "This is gentle for you!?"
Cross waved and said "Are you kidding? I take my tribulation and I don't know whether I'll come out with just bones left." Bai Shishi's mother appeared and laughed as she said "I'm not surprised." Cross drank from his gourd and didn't answer.
Long Chen instructed Bai Shishi to grab the runes where he shouted and she got two top grade runes! What a joy! Basically at the 4 extremes Realm you grabbed 4 runes to focus on, there was a bunch of different ones for cultivations to grab and they were all ranked with different levels based on color but Hehe~ That doesn't matter for Cross.
Bai Shishi was grateful and thanked Long Chen, Cross said "Wowowow! The Sun is rising in the West today!" Bai Shishi punched at Cross in anger and he tilted his head out of the way saying "Come on.. It was just a joke... Everybody knows the Sun had been Rising from the West ever since Long Chen killed the corpse boy."
Bai Shishi blushed and was ready to hack Cross to death. Cross dodged all her attacks and drank from his gourd saying "Ou! Almost had me there!" he swayed around, clearly drunk, and Bai Shishi was getting angrier. Long Chen laughed and started running as Bai Shishi chased after him instead.
10 Days later
Cross was watching Long Chen devouring the golden dragon scale, sitting on a tree and swinging his legs, enjoying his peaceful time. He didn't have much to do during these days, he was waiting for the right moment to do his final part and take the tribulation. He had a crazy plan after watching Long Chen devour the Dragon scale.
If it worked, I'm afraid he won't be afraid of Immortal Kings anymore.
Like did he know that there were a bunch of old people in the void looking at Long Chen and Cross at the same time. Bai Zhantang said "These two..." an old man said "The Void God successor is here as well?" another old man, who happened to be Bai Leitang, replied "Yes, but his character.. I'm afraid..."
Another old man said "Arrogant?" Bai Leitang replied "Unyielding in front of the world. Even if a World King is the enemy he will charge in headfirst." the old men were silent before saying "The same with Long Chen." before they all left.
Bai Zhantang said "If Long Chen isn't the Son of Prophecy were just going to drop the both of them?! Let them both die?!" Bai Leitang said "It's not my decision." he shook his head and left.
Cross heard the alarm and Long Chen flew over before they both went to do see what the issue was.
They arrived at the gates to Lingxiao Academy and saw hundreds of people in masks and shouting "Hand over Cross and Long Chen!" Cross rolled his eyes and said "Anybody have a bow?" a disciple quickly threw one over.
Cross caught it and Long Chen rushed in, killing people. Cross stood still and started firing arrows that disappeared as they left the bow. People started dropping like flies and the disciples were awed.
Cross said "Go get the Outer Court disciples already, jeez." before slapping the void, a headless corpse fell to the ground and Cross went back to shooting, he shot into the void and killers dropped like flies everywhere.
A while later
Some stuff happened and all the people ran away. Naturally, Bai Zhantang and the rest showed up. The paper tigers ran for their lives but didn't forget to leave behind a message. Several Jades exploded and everyone heard the shouts "Hand over Long Chen and Cross!" "Hand in the Sinners!" "7 days to give them to the Blood Killing Hall or else death!"
Cross yawned and said "Well." he turned to the disciples and smiled "Thanks for protecting me, I'm going to sleep." before walking off, leaving the disciples to give him funny looks. He stopped and said "Oh yeah! 7 days, everyone who has a problem with me can gather in the Blood Killing Hall location. I will turn myself in. Go quickly little spies, go tell your masters."
Several people disappeared and Cross scratched his neck and yawned as he left to go to sleep. Long Chen grinned and disappeared.
Cross started urging his eye mixture to hurry up.
7 days passed
Cross was standing with Long Chen, Qin Feng, and Bai Xiaole's mother. Cross took out the gourd and turned it upside down. A single drop of blood that made other's hearts tremble in fear appeared and Cross swallowed it.
Cross grabbed onto Long Chen tightly and said "Go! Quickly! Before everyone here dies!" Bai Xiaole's mother quickly teleported them away and into the Blood Killing Hall's location.
Cross appeared and said "Now that everyone's here... ARRRGHGHHH AWOOOARRRR!" Cross morphed into a giant dragon as his cultivation increased explosively, everything on his body was unlocked and he roared to the sky.
Long Chen and Qin Feng smirked and blew their cultivations as well.
A giant thundercloud appeared above the Blood Killing Hall, locking everyone in place. There were millions of people who wanted to kill Cross and Long Chen, they really were like sheep following Cross' words to the letter.
Bai Xiaole's mother flashed back before and was safe, but her face was pale. Bai Leitang said "They're both sons of the prophecy alright." Bai Xiaole's mother looked over and all the old guys from the Academy were here as well.
Cross' dragon body was pitch black and gigantic, his eyes were also flashing red and black sometimes swirling sometimes pulsing, in short it was terrifying. He let out a black flame from his mouth and blasted a hole in the clouds as he roared once again.
Someone said "Kill them!" too fucking late bro. The thundercloud was angry now and it's will fell down, half the people there directly exploded into blood mist.
Someone shouted "Brother! Let us go! We were forced!" Long Chen laughed and said "Bullshit! Fuck off, if I let you go what about the dead disciples?!" he swung his sword up and cut the clouds again.
A pillar of lightning fell down on Long Chen, Cross, and Qin Feng. Cross and Long Chen were fine, but Qin Feng was having a hard time. He stuck with it and continued on, the power of lightning was also a tonic for the body. He was pretty lucky.
Cross roared and his giant dragon body swiveled, millions died in the first strike of lightning but there were still many more. These fools, they thought if they don't move they would be safe. What a joke.
Cross thrashed around, smashing into people left and right before blasting a breath into the clouds and blowing them apart again. He was the embodiment of destruction right now, either he tears the Heavens apart or he dies.
A bunch of disciples showed up and watched the tribulation. Bai Shishi was stunned, Luna crossed her arms and watched the bid dragon in the sky, seemingly calm. Jasmine was clenching her teeth with a calm appearance, Feng Xue'er was visibly nervous, Jie Yuan was expressionless, Die Wu looked about ready to rush inside, while Luo Ning was holding her back.
The kids were watching too, their reactions were also varied. Zephyr was watching carefully, not worried at all, Pandora was expressionless, Lily was cheering with Hong'er, Artemis was clenching her fists nervously, and Amelia was biting her nails.
Ying'er just held Yuanyuan was smiled lightly, while Yuanyuan was silent.
Suddenly, millions of Thunder creatures descended from the skies. These creatures include human beings in strange costumes, all kinds of monsters, giant dragons, Phoenix, spirits, demons, and all kinds of strange creatures, many of which have never been seen before.
As soon as they appeared, half went for Cross, while the other half went after Long Chen. Qin Feng was being protected by Long Chen's Thunder Dragon. Cross dove into a horde of creatures and started tearing, clawing, biting, and smashing them all apart.
Thunder crackled along his everything body, inside and out, even on his eyes. Cross's dragon form started getting smaller and smaller, confusing the people outside. Bai Shishi said "Why is he getting smaller?" Luna answered "He's trying to do something stupid again." Feng Xue'er said nervously "He sure knows how to make people worry." Jasmine snorted "You can say that again."
The statue of Enpuda started glowing and the fat man appeared. Cross dove down and blew black flames all over the place, speeding up through the people and making the thunder creatures chase him and kill the people at the same time.
Long Chen laughed and said "Enpuda, how does it feel? I told you not to mess with Lord Third but you just didn't listen. Tsk Tsk." Enpuda roared "Long Chen I want you to die!" as he pressed his will from the statue, but it started cracking. Nobody can mess with the Thunderclouds, not even a World King.
Enpuda shouted "Do you know what end your actions brought to you today?" Long Chen sneered and said "End? Nono, this is just the beginning! Lord Third is not a good person. You want to play? Let's play big!"
Enpuda seethed but didn't speak, if he used his power his statue would collapse from the Tribulation. Cross flew over the statue and lifted his leg, a waterfall of piss drenched Enpuda's spirt and statue.
The disciples' faces turned black and Cross' family all covered their faces in embarrassment.
