Phoenix Ascension City , the prosperous land of a magnificent independent world where Saint and Immortal have been living for an unknown amount of time .
It was night and the stars up in the sky were all glowing with luminous light that transcends spacetime , reaching over the land of mortals to connect heaven and earth together.
Those ancient streets were full of residents of the Phoenix Ascension City , clad with ancient outfits . The street was decorated with lanterns , kites and some attractive decorations .
Even during the night , the market was still lively and doing well , in fact they were earning more than during daytime .
Those tall ancient buildings with magnificent architecture were radiating with warm light , each of those building windows would bless the outside world with some of their lights .
People walking around the street can see aristocrats and nobles laughing and conversing with each other while enjoying their meal close to the window seat .
Everything was peaceful and no one dared to disturb this peace , even the monsters and gods needed to remain quiet so as not to disturb the tranquility of such a beautiful city .
From one roof to another , a young man with long black hair was jumping with light steps , not even causing any fluctuations in the space .
The young man seemed to have become one with the world , the laws of the universe gathering beneath his foot , constructing a new world on each of his steps .
His long dark cloak flutters when he is up in the air , those long hem dances freely while ignorant of the restrictions set on this world.
The young man has ordinary looks yet a confident smile on his face , his pair of eyes were dark and refined , reflecting the image of a pair of pearls born from the abyss .
This young man lands on the top of the building and once again leaps up in the air, enjoying himself as if he is that unrestrained King Of The Sky who was born for the sky itself .
He was around 5'8 feet with slim yet muscular stature , with both of his hands inside his pocket , the young man finally stopped and landed his foot on the top of the railing of the building-top , silently gazing at the close-by building .
His dark eyes can see through both heaven and the man , there on a tall and noble building where hundreds of vip are gathered together to enjoy , resting on the window-seats of the third floor , there were two personages with dignified status even compared to those vip present in the same room.
One was a very handsome middle aged man with a solemn aura and tall body , he has slim stature while combed hair . He wears eyeglasses , clad with an aristocratic outfit befitting a noble .
While on the other hand is a muscular man wearing a costly outfit with a noble aura encircling his body , even though he is not unleashing any aura from his body , he looks very strong and dangerous.
There were spiritual fruits , divine beast's meats and ancient wines served on the table. They were discussing something , sometimes they would turn serious while sometimes their mood would change into cunningness .
The young man standing on the top of the railing observes them for a while , with a light smile , he darts on those two , invading the building without any warning .
"Lord Pan , you must think about this very carefully "
"You should not facetious the situation we are right now , this may become a disadvantageous for us "
The tall middle aged man frowns while looking at the muscular man , sipping his wine in an elegant manner , he unhurriedly warns Lord Pan .
Lord Pan was carefree, his whole body was relaxed and he himself was not troubled by anything . His confident eyes reveal his absolute belief in himself , with a manly and unrestrained voice he opens his lips.
" Lord Gong does not need to worry too much , even though Lord Su has gathered aid from other families , I know what I need to do right now ?"
He grabs the meat of a spiritual beast with his right hand and takes a big bite , chewing the meat he swallows the whole.
"You are just a worrier that worries about even trivial shits , why not relax yourself just like myself and enjoy your moment ?"
Lord Pan shakes his head , he was ambiguous and sly just like a fox .
Whoosh
But just when they were in the middle of conversation , someone walked through the window , causing those two Lords to frown and turn around in the direction someone crossed .
"This wine is pretty good , after so long I am finally drinking some fine wine "
They saw a young man standing while swirling wine-glass on his hand , gracefully holding the wine with his three fingers , he gulped the whole wine with a single sip .
Turning around , the young man meets his eyes with the two Lords , it seems that the surrounding powerhouses decided to ignore them even though the young intruded the building without any proper mannerism .
"Who are you ?"
Lord Pan's piercing glare lands on the young man's body , trying to tear his body into two and see what is hidden inside this young man's body .
"Now , now , gentleman , why don't you stop intimidating me with such hostility ?"
The young man unhurriedly walks those two powerhouses and smiles calmly , with that he rests on the unused seat close to Lord Pan .
Raising his both feet from the floor , he rested them on the table , with his right leg beneath his left leg that was resting on his right leg .
He leans his body on the chair's back , slowly the front legs of the chair leaves the floor and meets the midair.
Leaning 30 degrees or something backward , the young man leisurely picks up a plate where divine beast's meats were served , the meat being cooked very deliciously .
Eating piece by piece while chewing each piece taking all of his time , the young man savors the rich tastes of juicy meat .
"Young man , it seems that you don't know how to write death in your life ?"
Lord Pan drinks his tea and threatens the young man but contrary to his expectation , he was surprised to see the nonchalant attitude of this young man .
"Young man , revealing your name and your purpose for such a presumptuous act that can potentially take your life away from you ?"
Lord Pan is a dignified member of the Primal Moon Celestial Organization , an organization that is established by the royal family . Although he is not a high ranking member in the organization , his Ancient Pan Family can be said to be one of the Founding Members of the organization which is why even his status is very noble and untouchable.
He is an honorable Transcendent Realm powerhouse only step away from achieving Quasi-God Realm , his family patriarch has promised to promote him into Low Ranking Elder of the family once he becomes a Quasi-God , which is why his status is extremely special.
So this young man with mysterious origin , acting all high and mighty caused him to become displeased .
It was already a miracle that he was restraining himself from crushing this young man into meat-paste.
The young man's smile didn't disappear and kept on hanging on his lips , he slowly opened his lips .
....
"Void "
Inside a secret hall where there were hundreds of divine seats hovering in a circle , from layer after layer , those divine seats were constructing one floor after another .
Each seat was divine and dazzling with celestial lights , blinding the silhouette of those sitting on those divine seats .
Each of those terrifying silhouettes were overflowing with otherworldly power , Heavenly Dao seemed to be revolving around their fingers, just a single Will capable of deciding the fate of the universe .
"This young man was identified by the name of Void , he is an eccentric hitman with mysterious background "
" Ten days ago , this event just transpired recently , he was hired by his client to kill an Ancestral God "
"The identity of this Ancestral God is that he was the Elder of Ancient Wing Family , although the news was suppressed by the higher authority , the fact that he was killed can't be ignored "
Someone who has the Spiritual Wheel behind his head while emanating the endless power of Heavenly Dao , reports everyone while resting on the divine seat that was at the highest level .
Listening to him , everyone was deeply thinking about something .
With some doubts and uncertainty , someone at the same level as him asked .
"But even if Void killed that Ancestral God , isn't it possible to revive that dead person through his Origin? "
"What is wrong with his death ?"
Everyone nodded when they heard him , they also were doubtful of the informers report .
The former almighty being shakes his head, he seems to have already expected such a question .
"It would have been good if that elder was killed but the problem is , after killing his body , Void used some secret method to seal the soul of his target "
"If the soul doesn't perish , how can that elder even revive ?"
"Sealing the soul is already equivalent to killing the Dao Practitioners "
"And you seem to be misunderstanding something here, he actually defeated an Ancestral God despite possessing the strength of a Divine King , this is already something we can't ignore ad scoff at "
The almighty being seems to be frowning tightly , his divine voice grows heavy .
"Also , he did all those in the territory of Ancient Wing Family without even causing any ruckus , displaying his unpredictable skill "
When he reported and mentioned such important information , everyone seemed to be thinking about something once again .
But there seems to be a very terrifying silence dominating the entire hall .
But soon , it seems someone has conveyed new information to the divine being who was reporting everyone about Void , he suddenly reports fresh news to everyone.
"Everyone, I have just received a report about the Void , it seem that he was seen in Dawnlight Restaurant but after he left the building , it is reported that Lord Pan and Lord Gong from two prestigious families were found dead "
"The expert has estimated that the killer could be Void who was seen in the scene, it seem that he was hired once again to hunt down Lord Pan and Lord Gong "
Listening to the report, all the higher authorities soon went into a frenzy.
"What ? So he even dared to kill someone from a prestigious family ?"
"Isn't he scared about offending two behemoths at once ?"
"This kid is getting arrogant , if we don't teach him a lesson , can we still be called members of the old generation? "
"We should decide on what to do with this arrogant young man , if we let him roam freely in our territory , where would we show our face ?"
"Yes , our Phoenix Ascension House isn't just for show , we should do something about him "
Many divine beings were grumbling and complaining , how can they let an unrestrained powerhouse walk freely in their territory ?
They has image to maintain and defend , if they don't then how can they call themselves the member of Phoenix Ascension House
Observing all those divine beings present , the one who reported about Void was silent and didn't say anything , just observing the situation.
...
"I want that young man "
Standing close to the back-door of the residence located at one of the ancient divine mountains that surrounds Phoenix Ascension City , clad with a silver bathrobe , a young man smiles coldly while holding a teacup with his right hand .
His bare-chest was revealing while his thick arms full of bulging veins are exposed , with his long silver hairs freely falling down , he looks celestial .
He is both handsome and charming , dashing and very manly . He has the bearing of a tyrant who looks down on everyone, including god and demons.
His silver eyes were admiring the starry night sky while he himself seemed to be one with the world , behind him were few shadow-like human silhouettes on their knees, lowering their heads .
"Offer him wealth, power , status , woman and everything , make him join my faction and work for me "
"Such qualified seed shouldn't be left for other and if that kid does not wants to join my side , kill him so that he won't be a hinder for me in the future "
This young man is Heng Tiankuo , first young master of Phoenix Ascension House .
"Master , what if he is a part of some mysterious powerhouse ?"
"Won't that make him our enemy if we were to kill him? "
One of the shadow-like silhouettes asked humbly , worried that it would backfire if they were to kill Void .
Nobody has yet to discover his origin, so how can they just make an enemy out of Void ?
What if he has some terrifying power supporting him , won't that cause them to go up against a formidable enemy ?
Heng Tiankuo scoffs when he hears his servant's doubt , he does not waste his breath and just orders him a few tasks .
"Even if his background was to be some dragon and phoenix , can he go up against my Phoenix Ascension House that has been existing even before many Ancient Immortal Powerhouses? "
Heng Tiankuo was arrogant and drunk in his family's power , he didn't think that Void would have any kind of support that could threaten his family's foundation.
So he didn't care about anything , instead he just sneered .
"Go to him and offer whatever he ask for , I am willing to give him anything if he pledge his loyalty to me "
With a supreme voice , Heng Tiankuo commands his servants.
"We shall follow your command , master "
Those shadow-like silhouettes left the room , leaving Heng Tiankuo all alone.
While admiring the sky, he murmurs under his breath .
"Under Heaven , I alone am invincible "
