"You know what, there is a legend about a True Ghost that lives in Ghost Sanctuary far from Western Land of Northern Heaven "
The smiling clown-man approaches close to Heng Tiankuo , watching the silver haired young man fall in a hopeless situation, the spectators were left in awe and fear .
Such an important elite of the Phoenix Ascension was nothing but a mere helpless chicken ready to be chopped on the chopping board .
"Do you even know whom you have touched with your filthy hand ?"
Heng Tiankuo stabilized his mentality and frowns , his sharp gaze penetrating timespace and reaching the smiling clown-man.
"Wow , this shit still has enough guts to glare at me "
The smiling clown-man staggers back as if he has just been hit by a bullet , clutching his chest tightly , he painfully groans .
"My heart , I can't breath"
Everyone was surprised , did young master Tiankuo just use some hidden weapon on this mysterious person ?
But just when they were daydreaming , the smiling clown-man slowly stood and was back to normal.
"Shit , I thought that I got heart attack from his dangerous gaze but I guess that was only me , playing around "
"Hahaha"
The smiling clown-man jumps around while laughing as if enjoying himself , this causes the spectators to fall into despair.
Even when Heng Tiankuo was in despair , he gritted his teeth and continued .
"If you let me go now , I will forgive your sin "
The smiling clown-man moves his head from one shoulder to another , seemingly in deep thoughts .
"What is this motherfucker even blabbering about ?"
He walks to the silver-haired young man and clenches his fist tightly , launching back and shooting forward with great strength.
Baam
A punch without any qi or techniques lands on Heng Tiankuo's face , although it was simple it still managed to damage his reputation in front of all those spectators.
"You bastard , just make sure that I will not find you , you are dead if I do "
He grits his teeth and continues to threaten the smiling clown-man , his enemy was silent for a long time .
Finally a cold voice from the mountain , one that is without any emotions reaches him .
"Wow , you sure are arrogant "
"As a clown , I do my best to make everyone laugh...."
The smiling clown mask slowly closes distance with Heng Tiankuo's handsome face and when they were close enough to not let too much gap exist between them , the smiling clown-man hushed.
"....but because of bitches like you , I am always forced to be part of that horror story where I am always seen ...."
He slowly rests his right hand on Heng Tiankuo's left shoulder ,whispering in his ear.
"...playing the role of the villain , becoming embodiment of night itself "
A spectral aura slowly rises from the depth of a smiling clown-man's soul , causing the world to drown in insubstantiality.
Heng Tiankuo grits his teeth and frowns but does not retort , understanding his situation.
" Good, be a good boy like this for a while okay "
The smiling clown-man nods his head , he stands up and starts to continue .
"Like I said before , there is this legend regarding about True Ghost that lives in Ghost Sanctuary "
"I always wanted to confirm if the legend is real or just a rumor "
Heng Tiankuo continues to listen to this crazy smiling clown-man while feeling annoyed .
"— and that is when I came up with the conclusion, if the legend is true , how come those that mentioned this Immortal didn't suffer any karma ?"
"Hence , since no one suffered the brunt from karma while mentioning about this True Ghost , it is obviously a lie , just a fabricated story passed down from generation to generation just so that everyone would pass their time while listening to such story "
"...."
Neither Heng Tiankuo nor did anyone understand what he was trying to get at ?
Why was he talking about something so off-topic that does not have anything to do with the current situation?
The smiling clown-man nods his head and continues .
"As for the reason why I was telling you all this "
Heng Tiankuo frowns tightly , waiting to hear the reason why he was told such an irrelevant story by this mysterious person .
"The reason is simple , it is because I have nothing to do other than randomly spouting nonsense "
"....."
Heng Tiankuo blinked his eyes , all the spectators frowned and were deeply conflicted .
Is he for real ?
Is that all the reason why you were hurting everyone's ears ?
But the smiling clown-man seemed to be ignoring them and their expression , he didn't care about them and continued .
"You know right , sometimes we just want to talk with someone but there is no good topic to start "
"And suddenly there is this topic appearing in your head, all crazy and bullshit . Even though you know what you are talking is nothing but utterly garbage yet you still want to talk about that thing "
"And when someone tries to be nice by reminding you that because of your profound insight , you are just acting crazy and becoming a joke to everyone "
"You just rage on them for no reason and if asked for the said reason, you just have to say — he offended me by disrespecting me , blah blah blah "
The smiling clown-man kept on talking whilst everyone was starting to doubt whether this man was serious or just mocking their intelligence .
But soon the atmosphere changed in a drastic speed , the whole space was confined with murderous intent , a killing intent that far surpassed an ordinary killer .
"You think this is funny right ?"
The murderous voice of the smiling clown-man was extremely lethal , one mistake and your life can kiss goodbye .
"No — no , it isn't "
Heng Tiankuo tries to be nice with this mysterious person , he was secretly activating a powerful artifact to save his ass .
"What ? You don't think it is funny? "
Yet contrary to his expectation , the mysterious man was raging in exasperation , his hostile gaze was suffocating him .
" How can you say that a clown isn't funny at all ? Do you not have any sense of guilt and humility ?"
"You fucker , don't you respects a clown or do you think that they are some bitch with no sense of humour ?"
The mysterious man was both frustrated and resentful to Heng Tiankuo for not appreciating his humor .
After thinking for a second, Heng Tiankuo also felt that it was really rude of him to say that clowns aren't funny so he corrected his previous mistake .
"Sorry , what I mean to say is that it is funny "
"Hahaha , look I am.even laughing "
He laughs and laughs , pretending to laugh at someone's joke .
But contrary to his expectation , there was no positive response . A silence was created , followed by awkwardness .
"So you jackass think that you can laugh at someone's misery just because you aren't the person in question "
His facial expression changed when he heard that mysterious person yelling at him as if he had done something wrong .
"Huh"
He was confused, what the hell ?
"How can you even have the heart to laugh at me when I was just sharing my pain and suffering, gathering all that sadness into a single word and describing it into a long story ?"
"How can you laugh at me and my misery ?"
"Woowoo"
At first the mysterious man was optimistic but slowly he was sad and angry , followed by endless anger and sadness .
His mood changes quicker than a lady's mood , unpredictable and unprecedented .
"What ?"
Heng Tiankuo really wanted to beat him but he has no such ability since his body was restrained by the Seal of Ancient God .
"Its okay , if you say sorry to me I will forgive you since I am a kind person "
The mysterious man shakes his head and softly whispers to him , causing his heart to birth a bad premonition.
"I—I am sorry , please forgive me "
Nevertheless, he still asked for forgiveness since he does not want to bother himself too much with this crazy psycho .
"Its okay , since you have asked for forgiveness , i will forgive you "
Heng Tiankuo sighed in relief after seeing that mysterious man acting normal and forgiving him for the sin which he hasn't even committed, but suddenly a sharp pain invades his chest , just to check the reason for this sudden sharp pain , he lowers his head .
"Bitchy void"
He slowly clenches his teeth and grits them hard , he can't believe it .
There was a divine dagger penetrated inside his chest , the divine poison that existed in such a divine weapon was entering his body and eating away his divinity.
Of course , his body was deteriorating and losing all his vitality, although slow but it was an effective way to cripple him .
Though he can return back to life if killed , he can't change anything that happens to his body before his death.
If he was crippled before his death , when he returns back , he will remain crippling unless he decides to sacrifice his True Blood just to heal himself completely.
And more than that , each time he returns back to life after his death , his Origin will weaken and it needs time to recover , exhausting the Origin Energy during revival .
"Shit "
He wanted to ask this smiling clown -man , why the fuck did he even decided to bully him with such dangerous weapon ?
If he wanted to kill him , why didn't he just kill him ?
At least , he would have less complaints once revived .
But to actually use such a dangerous divine weapon on him and to cripple, this was nothing but blatant bullying the poor .
"Void , you bitch "
His voice was stuttering but the smiling clown-man heard him loud and clear , since his identity had been revealed he didn't bother to deny .
The smiling clown-man chuckles and continues .
"This dagger is called Divine King Poison , something that is extremely lethal against those below Divine King Realm or even to those at the said level "
The breath of Heng Tiankuo was slowly growing distorted , his eyes full of resentment .
If you wanted to injure me , at the very least , you should have just broken one or two of my ribs , but to cripple me ….
"You assholes "
He was full of grief and complaints but sadly , he was just an unfortunate soul .
"Thank you for compliments , gentleman "
But the smiling clown-man didn't take him seriously , instead he was full of smiles and satisfaction .
"Since we have talked with each other for so long, I hope you will not forget me after your return "
"And also , make sure you forget me after your return "
"After all , I only prefer a beauty to remember my handsome me "
"Hehe"
The voice of the smiling clown-man was full of mockery and scorn , he seemed to be taunting Heng Tiankuo to his death .
The vision of Heng Tiankuo slowly was becoming blurry and dizzy , his consciousness was growing weaker and his heartbeat was slowing down .
And when the poison devoured his system , he lost his life , returning back to his Origin .
"Sigh, what a pain in the ass "
The smiling clown-man shakes his head and stands up , turning back he left the Heavenly Ardour.
"Let's leave "
***********
Northern Heaven is as large as an infinite universe , this land shelters endless amounts of universe and galaxies where immeasurable numbers of stars and worlds exist .
Universes, multi-universes , omni-universes , chaos-universes , dimensions , multi-dimensions , 3d dimensions , reality, multi-reality …..
So many wonderful phenomena and fantasy exist in this land where Immortal and Saint are born and live .
Since the beginning of time immemorial , Heaven has gone through countless destruction , creation and evolution .
It is said at the beginning of time immemorial , everything was just part of singularity which later expanded into infinity , and followed by everything turning into infinitesimally.
For example , there exists a universe, inside this universe exist countless cosmos and galaxies , inside them exist innumerable amounts of world , dimensions, stars and untold mysteries , followed by the same process which never ends and has no finality.
Just like that , Northern Heaven has countless such worlds and mysteries , one of them is called Mortal Primordial Universe , in this universe is a high-level domain named Western Flame domain where a small world exists.
Small worlds are those worlds that are part of the lower-world or lower-realm , this small world is known by the name of Draconic Vein World .
"Are you sure that your Dragon Heart is in this world ?"
A silhouette concealing himself with mist of divine stars was standing above the world , looking down on everyone with his cold eyes .
"Mere human , you dare question this great one's word , the audacity of you humans have grown to such astronomical degree to which even a great one like me is left in awe "
A sinister and very evil voice reached his ears, the voice was full of power and unrivaled authority.
"Humph , even when you are just left with your remnant , you are still so arrogant "
The silhouette observes the small world and expands his divine sense , covering hundred of small worlds
Not only was Draconic Vein World covered by his divine sense , even those nearby hundreds of small worlds were covered with ease .
"Sigh , how miserable of me "
The sinister voice seems to be complaining about his miserable life .
"A former Saint like me has fallen into such degeneration where even a puny Divine King like you can talk to me with such arrogance "
The sinister voice sighed and was at loss for words .
"If it was before , I would have just killed you with my breath alone but now that I have become just a lingering remnant of my memory and not even a remnant soul , I have no power to do anything to you "
A Saint does not truly die unless they experience a special situation , otherwise they are eternal and almost undying just like a True Immortal.
But this remnant memory's original body and soul experienced a calamity when he was still alive , the calamity was not something a mere Saint can challenge and survive .
After all when he was drunk in his power and was a powerful primordial Overlord, he actually got blinded and hurted the son of an Immortal , forgetting that an Immortal is not something he can causally provoke .
If Immortals weren't held by a power that challenges and threatens them , if he wasn't restrained by that supreme power , the owner of remnant memory would have faced absolute extinction .
Hence since that day , he has never even dared to approach anyone related to Immortals for the fear of repeating the same mistake in the past .
"Shut up oldman , now tell me where is this Dragon Heart of yours ?"
The silhouette was cold and ruthless , he didn't care about anything the remnant soul said to him .
"This world itself is my Dragon Heart , although this small world is only part of many fragments but if you devour this world , you can advance to Wisdom Sage Realm and your strength will surely experience growth "
The sinister voice reminded the silhouette.
"Is that so ?"
The silhouette chuckles and stretches his arm forward , soon he seems to have grabbed the World Will of Draconic Vein World , causing a terrifying roar to erupt and send him flying anyway till he crashes on thousands of small worlds .
One small world after another , his body was forced to crash on thousands of small worlds , in which , those small worlds were destroyed by the sheer impact from the clash .
The explosion of the thousand worlds surely attracted the mighty lords from the neighborhood , shivering their souls in process .
"Hahaha , junior , you dare try to devour that world which is born from the fragments of Saint Realm's Dragon Heart "
"I have never seen or met an arrogant and ignorant person as you in my life , hahaha"
"Shit"
The sinister voice seemed to be enjoying after seeing the silhouette receive such damage to his pride and arrogance , he was laughing and taunting.
"Damn it "
But the silhouette seems to be unwilling and his whole existence was emitting a murderous aura which was enough to cause those around him to wither and die from corruption .
"I am not ready to lose easily , just you wait "
