The group got to the gate and Xia Chen set up a formation as the rest started killing. Long Chen suddenly went crazy and started killing everything. Cross was at the back with Xia Chen, shooting arrows at the Dark Beasts, killing them easily. Feng Xue'er was using Fire Phoenix Arts on the Dark Beasts, dancing in the air like a flame fairy.
Cross watched her with a smile as he shot arrows, he even sat down and floated his bow sideways, plucking the string like a Zither as Arrows blew out like a machine gun. The Formation was set up and the Dragon Blood Warriors were happy, they finally had a home in the Immortal World.
The constant killing was more training than anything. With the constant fighting, their Cultivations would increase significantly.
Even Celestial Reverend beasts weren't spared, Cross had strings shooting out in all directions collecting half the corpses as Long Chen collected the other half.
Long Chen suddenly roared and killed a trillion Dark Beasts. Yep, you read that right. A trillion Dark Beasts. Amazing right? Anyway, half the Trillion corpses were collected by Long Chen and the Rest were collected by Cross.
A giant mountain of corpses was sitting on top of the black soil and slowly being devoured. Long Chen was suddenly sent flying backwards and the Patriarch of the Full Moon clan went to fight the golden beast with 6 arms instead of 4. Apparently this was a Dark Lord.
Cross couldn't help but think of Voldemort here. Was he truly such a being? Hah, a big joke. But maybe that's what the thing he fought was? He wasn't sure, maybe, maybe not. Leaning towards maybe not.
Anyway the Patriarch fought it and the Dark Lord beast ran back to the den to rest. the Patriarch was injured but it wasn't too serious. Long Chen continued to fight along with the Dragon Blood Warriors, constantly sharpening themselves on a grindstone. The Corpses continued piling up and Long Chen started fighting the Dark Lord to stimulate his Dragon blood under the threat of death.
A month later
Long Chen broke through to the 2nd Level of the Immortal King Realm and another Dark Lord appeared. Cross was in the middle of the Dark Beast horde with his eyes closed, dodging everything that came near him and occasionally punching out to kill a beast.
He wanted to stimulate himself as well and this was the best way. All these Dark Beasts were Celestial Reverend level and their attacks were deadly, he didn't put up any defenses so one wrong move and Cross would become ribbons.
Nevertheless, he refined his body and dodged all the attacks with minimal movements like a ghost. His movements became faster and faster as time passed.
Another month later
Long Chen was at the 9th level of the Immortal King Realm. Cross was at the same but he was at the Peak Peak. A little more and he would break through to the 10th level, inside his body the Dragons swimming around started forming little runes. It was the runes for 'Heaven' but there was a slash through it, effectively becoming Heaven Rending.
Nice.
The Runes multiplied and grew all over his body. And with a little click, Cross advanced to the 10th Level of the Immortal King Realm. The Runes continued to multiply and grow infinitely as his body was still being refined.
Cross' every move was filled with a destructive will, he quickly got it under control and he suddenly seemed like a normal person without cultivation. It was very weird.
Long Chen flew away and Cross walked to the Dragon Blood Warriors, his figure blurred every now and then as he stepped as if the world couldn't handle his existence. With every step he traveled meters and the Dark Beasts around him fell to the ground dead.
All the corpses were disappearing and Cross stood in front of the Dragon Blood Warriors as he said mysteriously "What is the Heavenly Dao?" the group was stunned, Guo Ran replied "Everything?" Cross slapped him and laughed "A joke! To this daddy, the Heavenly Dao is fart! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Guo Ran ate the dirt and the group laughed.
Suddenly, the world brightened up and the Heavenly Dao changed, the spiritual Qi was getting richer and richer and everyone felt an unprecedented warmth from the World. Cross was stunned and looked at the ground in a daze.
Xue'er tapped his shoulder and said "Love?" Cross smiled and said "I like this place, surprisingly." Xue'er smiled and Long Chen came back saying "We have a home." The Dragon Blood Warriors cheered wildly, Yu Qingxuan smiled and looked at Long Chen lovingly.
Cross flashed next to Long Chen and whispered a few words in his ear, Long Chen opened his mouth wide and they both disappeared.
They came to the Star Realm Core cube and Cross approached it with a smile. He caressed the Cube and said "I'll help you, okay?" the space twisted in response and Cross spat out Golden Crystalline Liquid as he said "This is for the life aura and vitality." then he channeled the pure Chaos Qi into the cube, pushing the golden drop into the Cube at the same time.
The World started shaking and Long Chen said nervously "Is it alright?" Cross said "Relax, in terms of World Cores, I am the Ancestor." he enveloped the Cube in Chaos Qi and aura from his Inner World, nurturing the Cube with endless life.
He even covered the Cube in a bubble of Purity Dew as he injected all his elements, except Void, into it while nourishing it with Chaos Qi. The World stopped shaking and a Primordial Aura appeared, the grass grew, trees sprouted, flowers bloomed. Cross waved and above them Pseudo Trees of Life seeds were scattered across the entire world, soaking in the life aura and growing tall before producing their own life energy into the air.
Since the seeds were born into Chaos Qi, they gave off Chaos Qi as well.
Cross stepped back and the duo returned to the surface, Long Chen was assaulted by the extremely pure air and Qi. He was amazed, as were the rest. This was simply a holy land!
A while later
The Full Moon clan members left and everybody started working, Long Chen named the World the Exquisite World because of Yu Qingxuan, very personal.
Cross was sitting in the absolute middle of the world. Plants thrived around him and swayed in the wind happily, he looked up at the 7 colored sky and smirked. He mumbled "Are you ready?" the world buzzed and Cross imprinted a rune in the air.
The World shook and the 7 colors in the sky came together, forming a seven colored halo. The halo spun faster and faster before condensing into a 7 colored sun and hanging high in the air, burning brightly, illuminating the world with endless warmth.
The world flourished and became happy all of a sudden.
Long Chen was stunned and grinned "Good brother, he did it!" the sun set and a golden moon appeared in the sky with a pitch black background. The sky shivered and different colored stars started littering the sky, even in the night the moon and stars kept the world brightly lit.
The entire world was ethereal and hazy as if a dream or a fairyland.
The Chaos Qi and Primordial aura converged and invaded the world. Cross' voice rang in the world "Nine Star Sun, Endless Moon of the Void. One world, Two Gods, Three Qi's, endless prosperity." The world shivered and the Sun and Moon appeared in the sky at the same time, the world shook fiercely and multiple places were hit with rainbow pillars of light, the earth glowed, the sky shined, and a beautiful song rang throughout the world.
A while later
Everything calmed down and the 7 colored Sun lit up the world once more. Cross laid on his back, covered in sweat and smiled "Perfect." before falling asleep.
Half a month later
Xia Chen and Guo Ran finished setting up defenses in the world against the Dark Beasts and Long Chen took everyone out to go to a Saint King Competition. They came to Silver Moon City, the rebels were back!
Long Chen took care of the problem and grabbed an old man, who was revealed to be the Vice-Patriarch of the Sky tiger clan, who also worshipped Brahma. Long Chen traded the Vice-Patriarch's life for the rebels from the Full Moon clan.
The Sky Tiger clansmen made quick work of the rebels and threw them over. The 7th Elder tied them up and Long Chen threw the Vice-Patriarch back, the Sky Tiger clan immediately became hostile but they froze when Cross grabbed the Vice-Patriarch by the nape again.
The Vice-Patriarch almost spit out blood in humiliation. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. He even regretted coming here. Cross held the Vice-Patriarch and said with a smile "I don't like letting people go. Tiger meat is very tasty after all, it would be a real shame if you were allowed to walk out of here."
One man shouted at Long Chen "We had a deal!" Long Chen smiled and said "I said "I would give him back to you, who would've thought that he would land in someone else's hands?" he shook his head as if to say it was a truly tragic situation.
Cross grinned and said "You want your Vice-Patriarch back?" he pointed at the young man, who was a Supreme and most likely their candidate to fight in the Saint King Competition, as he said "Kill the boy and I'll give you your Vice-Patriarch back. Chose a life, the boy or the old man."
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, this was too ruthless! The young supreme was stunned and people were looking at him, as if to weigh his importance. Cross smiled and said "Of course, there is a 3rd option. Hand him over to me, I promise I won't kill him." he had a devil's smile on, the young man was sure that death would be a luxury if he was handed over.
The Sky Tiger clan finally said "Sorry, Vice-Patriarch." Cross clicked his tongue and said "Cold blooded!" he threw the Vice-Patriarch back and chuckled "You took so long, it seems you value the boy only a little bit more than the Vice-Patriarch... Tsk, Tsk. If I was the Vice-Patriarch I would be furious, after all you can breed new Supremes but is his wisdom from his long life invaluable?"
The Sky Tiger clansmen's faces fell and sure enough the Vice-Patriarch was very angry at them. He waved and left, leaving some words of revenge before they disappeared. Cross sighed and said "What a pity!" Long Chen shook his head and Guo Ran said "What's a pity, father-in-law?"
Cross almost cried as he said "A Supreme Sky Tiger mount! Gone! Just like that! Imagine riding a Sky Tiger into battle! Argh!" The group was stunned and Guo Ran slapped his forehead and said "Fuck! We should've taken him by force! Damn it!" Long Chen gave him a slap and the group left with Cross and Guo Ran gloomy over their loss.
the flew out of the Silver Moon World and crossed a dozen cities, buying special goods from the special races that were there. Cross walked the streets and secretly copied every book he saw in every city he went to. They continued and secretly robbed every Longteng Company they saw.
Unexpectedly, the Longteng Company released the news of Long Chen having the Universe Cauldron. With that piece of news, the group entered the Saint King Star Region.
