"Wang Fang, you have terrorized, enslaved, and slaughtered millions of lives, all for what? Immortality, revenge, power, or everlasting life? No matter your end goal, it does not justify the means. Even if I have to drain every ounce of my energy to exhaustion to kill you, I will," I said, facing the most fearsome cultivator within the Supreme Expanse.
"I only had one goal, no matter the method, no matter the karma I hold and will hold. It has to end; my pain has to end," Wang Fang said emotionless
"No matter the pain and torture you have endured, it's not your right to place that burden onto others. This endless killing has led all the heavenly factions to band together to once and for all stop your tyrannical methods. I, Li Tianfeng, promise that I will banish you to the dark abyss."
"We of the Asura Slaughter Alliance will aid you in your battle. Let us bring down this monster incarnate," the alliance of the heavenly factions behind me said.
The heavenly factions comprise six righteous sects and clans, alongside three demonic sects and a titan beast clan. All factions have suffered exploitation, harm, and the loss of core members at the hands of Wang Fang. Even demonic cultivators have limits, but Wang Fang transcends all norms, defying cultivation and societal logic.
"Today marks the beginning of the end to the Great fable Heavens swallowing devil," a woman in green robes declared. Her jade-like skin literally her skin was that of jade many say it was a result of a failed experiment.
"Mei Xiang, Priestess of the Celestial Pavilion, an honor to meet you again. I thought our meeting would be under different circumstances. Not even I can control fate. You like the gift I gave you the skincare routine seems effective. your skin is as clear as jade," Wang Fang remarked, surprising many in the alliance with a hint of emotion that carried underlying mockery.
This revelation clarified that Wang Fang considered the experiment a success, unlike Mei Xiang.
At least some questions were answered that it was wang fang at fault of the jaded skin experiment.
"You dare, you bastard! I idolized you," Mei Xiang exclaimed.
Wang Fang, unfazed, responded, "Why so mad? You volunteer to be my lab experiment I created your body to be perfect, flawless. Perhaps replacing your soul with Qi shards would make you truly flawless, but the heavens forbids such actions. Creating life is a privilege reserved for mothers or the heavens."
"I'll kill you!"
"Don't be a fool. Where's your grace?" cautioned Master Lin Zhen of the Boundless Lotus Sect.
Despite the warning, Mei Xiang charged with the intent to kill. I saw Wang Fang. grinning it was unsettling.
"Wang fang don't you dare you bastard."I shouted dashing to intercept the clash, but I was to slow.
I watched as the Devil lifted his hand and karate chopped downwards void tremble from this action.
Red all I saw was red, the first blood has been drawn, watching as the split body of the once beautiful silhouette of the priestess floated in the void in two.
This marked only the beginning of the unfolding tragedy.
Within the Supreme Expanse, many lost worlds and continents float in the void, linking every realm together in a never-ending sea of planets. Now, cracks and sounds of destruction overlap throughout the river of space.
Three days later
As the battlefield unfolds in the supreme expanse on a distant and almost forgotten continent, delicate snowflakes continue to descend, creating a stark contrast to the violence that has befallen this once serene land. The ground, once untouched by conflict, now bears witness to the aftermath of a fierce struggle. The purity of the snow is marred by the dark stains of blood and the remnants of fallen pseudo-immortals and false gods, As the alliance once proud now has crumble only few are left.
Beyond the snow continent the planet that were linked are now dust and dirts. Destroyed and what is left are the corpses floating in space. Some corpse's are as big as planets are aimlessly floating a reminder that even titan beast are useless against the two real monster of the current era.
Back on the snow region from the sky, a glint of white light shined, it kept falling faster and faster like an comet, reaching the earth and scattering it to pieces. Earth now molten lava and flames are the only remnants within the crater. And so are two divine figures.
"To think a man of your talent and destiny is in such a desperate state. To me, it's laughable. You don't understand how long I have waited for a day like this to happen, we are in the same realm. It gives me pleasure that my efforts, blood, sweat, and tears have not gone in vain," Wang Fang said.
"Not just your own, what about the innocent people you have used?"
"Don't give me that. We are the closest thing to immortals, well, basically me compared to you. Nevertheless, even now with the power you have, you act like a hero, with selflessness. Just why, after our many fights and encounters, you never replied now that we are equals? You better give me an answer why are you so willingly to aid and support mortals and I haven't forgotten our battle at twin bridge my first victory against you, but i knew it wasn't a real win, in the admits of the battle our power surge outwards and almost killed mortals, until you sacrifice yourself to protect those lesser bloods. In every life you never change."wang fang said anger visible in his eyes.
"You did all of this just for An answer? If you're so desperate to even slaughter fellow pseudo-immortals and even those that trusted you, well, I think you deserve an answer. It's because the lives of mortals are no different than ours I treat other equally no matter their strength immortal or not."
"You won't believe that. You won't think that if you live the life I have. We are different, from views to belief to our way of thinking. We are different."
"No, we are not. We cry, we wish, we dream, we feel anger our emotions are no different. The society that cultivators have built throughout the eons is created by man to distance themselves from the mundane life of mortals. Yet, that is made by man, not the heavens. It is not a fact nor the truth; it's just made up as an excuse for men to act as gods. When those men or woman start believing they are gods, chaos ensues, no balance, no law to stop their prejudices. Yet not for me. I choose to believe in the dreams of mortals a world where we are equals, no matter what I will continue to fight for that Cause I will never stop fighting till my dream of a better world is accomplished." I said as much as I want to believe in these words it also not as true as I want to believe yet it does not waver my faith in humanity.
"So that's your answer, you hypocrite. I have slaughtered, I have walked this path with no hesitation. I am not as talented, not as righteous, not as selfless as you, but I will not let anything block my path. For what you said before, no, I do not cultivate for eternal life or for endless power, but for home. My home. Yet before I could go back, I needed to know why someone like you was chosen by the heavens in the last battle, why be bless with luck and fortune it's not fair, at first I thought the reason was because you were born in this realm an innate child of the heavens but I now realise after all this time it was your Dao heart, unshakeable, unbreakable no matter the winds and tides your heart shall continue to shine ever so bright. It wasn't you talent that made you special! I am a fool to believe so, and an idiot to blame the heaven's for the unfairness."
"What are you saying? Last battle? What trick are you playing? It will not make you win this battle."
I stand in place, slowly performing an ancient tradition my clan has performed before each life-and-death battle. I bite my finger, and as my finger bleeds, I place the blood on my forehead. The bloodstain quickly starts to transform into a red flame shape. My black and white robes quickly turn into black, white, and golden armor.
I carefully observe the mesmerizing moment when Wang Fang summons his martial soul. A dazzling crown materializes and gracefully settles upon his head, radiating an aura of authority. This power it feels so unreal the fusion of black and red energies gracefully envelops his body, crafting an formidable black armor that seems to pulsate with ominous power. It's a sight to behold, I would be lying to myself that I wasn't afraid of this man. Yet I will stand my ground.
I breathe heavenly essence in my nose, I feel the power surging within my body from each blood cell and vein and meridian.
"I have forged my body and mind to the pinnacle. I have lived a life as a mortal; I have touched the boundaries of immortality. I have been praised as a god, mocked as a man, and have been loved like a husband. Today, I will give all of me to the heavens as an offering to grant me the chance, no matter how small. I offer all of me," I said, lighting forming around the world, entrapping both of us. The tribulation is what cultivators fear no matter their power, which they hold. It has been a fact ingrained in the hearts of those that practice the dao, that the heavens shall rule all and punish all.
If the perchance of an cultivator transcending the punishment of the heaven they would be titled the demonic cultivator they are banned from using the pure heavenly Qi of the heavens, so what they did was to improvise by devouring Qi from others or tapping into an other realm know as the abyssal valley.
"I grant this life to the will of the abyss. Allow me to offer and bind my body and essence to the seven hells. Grant me the strength to overcome my adversity and bring victory to me, I who has sacrificed everything and everyone for this chance."
As both Wang and I finish our sacred vows, the heaven and earth move by our sacrifice, both granting the warriors an ancient relic temporarily.
As I lifted my arm, lighting struck my palm. As the lighting formed, it took the shape of a golden spear.
As Wang touched the ashen dirt, which quickly started turning into a red substance, what emerged was a great sword. Grabbing the hilt and pulling it out of the ground, the energy was so violent that the surrounding Qi vibrated like heat waves.
