The world had thrived for thousands of years and yet, its mysteries is still as abundant as the stars.
The Red continent had been known to be the most chaotic of all the continents. In a world where the strong prays on the weak and the biggest fists holds the most power, there is one fiery entity that is both admired and despised by the people here.
Long Qi, a demonic cultivator that is hardly seen yet known to all.
The undying scourge have only been around for a hundred year but is already despised and feared by everyone.
The people that cursed him to death can circle around the entire world. Of course, by only counting those that are still alive.
The mountain of bodies he had made can no longer be counted by hand. Especially when the maniac has just begun his rise.
Even his name is no longer allowed to be uttered.
But of course, there are still those who admires him. Wanting to reach his level in strength and power.
Said venerable demon was currently on the Sea taking a serene walk, even humming happily to himself.
Red Hanfu with golden dragon embroideries danced with the wind followed by long silvery silken hair.
For someone who fights on a daily basis for fun, his skin is as unblemished as it can be to the point that it can rival the purity of snow.
No one that had seen him can ever deny his beauty. Peach colored lips, enchanting black phoenix eyes and perfectly sculpted body along with the allure that he exudes with each movement, he is loved by as many women and men as he is hated by them.
If one ignored the blood tainted sea, the metallic scent on the air and the bodies littered on the ground that is.
"I wonder what I should have for dinner?" Long Qi thoughtfully ask out loud to no one in particular as he aimlessly walk around the beach looking for something possible to eat around until he noticed a particularly strange pendant.
It wasn't strange in appearance per say.
The thing sticking out had a perfectly roundish pebble wrapped with a foreign white metal glimmering with a light blue shine when reflecting light. The metal was a thin string with miniature leaves duplicating a vine.
The pendant was a smooth black rock or gem, something of the sort.
Long Qi held the necklace up, letting it glimmer in the sun observing more curiously, his curiosity peaked.
He threw the necklace up after twirling it with one finger through the chain and catching it with his thumb and pointer finger.
"Mine now!" He grinned looking at the black rock closely.
Upon closer inspection, it was like the small thing holds a galaxy within.
"Neat" he commented.
He had always loved strange and foreign things.
Long Qi does find something weird about this thing. A material that an alchemist both in weapon and pills cannot discern.
An item that suddenly appeared in one of the known places he frequents. Not smart going there periodically for someone who is wanted dead by the world but eh? He likes the area.
The island had a very strange energy that calms him down, a very familiar energy that draws him in as if once upon a time it had been his safe heaven which is strange because the first time, he ever remembers this energy is here in this island.
Long Qi used his spiritual energy to search the pendant finding an empty space inside.
His phoenix eyes sparked with interest as his consciousness formed in the space excitedly but before he could even investigate, he felt the presence of others making him frown, lips forming a slight pout as he was forced to stop what he was going.
"Need anything?" He asked nonchalantly not even finding a sense of danger despite being surrounded by hundreds of righteous cultivators.
Forget anything about nervousness or fear, he was just bored at this.
Nothing is exciting anymore.
"Long Qi, you have hmp!" Long Qi made an act of zipping something in the air as his energy glued the guy's lip up close.
The guy serving as a leader turned red when he could no longer speak.
Long Qi had heard their stupid speeches almost daily now that he had gotten too tired of them. In fact, they simply are more talk than fight. Well, they fight, they just don't have what it takes to give a fun one.
"Never mind, I found something more interesting so..." Long Qi made a shooing motion towards them infuriating the others.
"Kill that damn cockroach for me! You days of being an arrogant bastard is ending now, Long Qi! Prepare to die!" The Leader called out brandishing a powerful sword sparking purple lighting.
Long Qi looked at the sword in interest as well as he put the necklace into his storage space. "That is one good toy. I hope you know how to play with it" he grinned a feral one, eyes firing up.
It had been a while since he had searched for a worthy opponent.
Long Qi had only ever looked for fun and excitement. He could care less what the others thought about him as long as he is feeling something aside from numbness.
It just so happened that fighting is something that can ignite something in him.
Huang Wei tightened his grip around his sword sensing something changes about Long Qi.
If who they met gave a feeling of a sleeping arctic fox, the one in front of them now was a rearing dragon.
"Water Blade!" One made a tsunami forming a sharp tip heading towards Long Qi.
"Fire Rain!" A tornado of fire formed and spread in the sky spreading into arrows.
"Rock wave!" The land hardens forming waves ready to engulf him.
"Sonic Tornado!" Sharp whistling appeared as a tornado formed with sharp blades from the harsh winds.
More various attacks broke out, attacks that could destroy a village with just one of them.
They smirked arrogantly, already seeing the glory that they would have when news broke out that it was them that cleansed the world with an undying bastard.
Their smug grins faded immediately when Long Qi flicked his hand and all their impressive and flashy attacks faded.
"Tsk, annoying pests" Long Qi hissed "Hell's Hail" he countered the entire area turning into a winter wonderland before red snowflakes fell melting the flesh of those that it touches.
Screams rang around the island, agony reverberating loud and clear but Long Qi stood unfazed.
"Long Qi you heartless beast" Huang Wei cursed attacking him with his swords.
Long Qi whistled impressed as lightning crackled on the ground where he once stood.
It wasn't his misconception then. That sword is a heavenly grade one.
Even with it sheathed, he could already sense its power and with it drawn... his feral smirk turned into a grin.
'This is going to be fun.'
His black ring with silver dragons engraved turned into a sharp sword, giving a cold feeling that sips to the bones of everyone around him, everyone that managed to protect themselves from his rain that is.
The onlookers watched with bathed breath as Long Qi and Huang Wei battled with speed that could barely be seen by their already trained eyes.
The ground shook and the sky looked like it was about to split as a heavenly and a cursed sword clashed creating a rift due to the aftershock.
Long Qi had already stood apart from the crowed when he appeared, but Huang Wei crawled to where he is now, struggling to be his equal.
The two did not need words as they simply used their swords to speak.
Techniques after techniques were thrown to each other. The once frosted scenic island is now spotted with lighting, lavas and fire.
The others have already retreated to somewhere safe, watching the historic battle between geniuses unfold.
"Black Dragon Claw!" Long Qi created a claw like slashes which was dodged by Huang Wei but it immediately cut down the mountain behind him.
"Thunder Shot" Huang Wei moved his sword to form spiderweb like attack made by lighting.
Long Qi cut through it, not bothering to dodge.
They exchange blows even more until they both exhausted themselves.
Long Qi had never felt that exhilarated in ever that he forgot that it was not just them in the island.
His eyes widened when a sword suddenly pierced him from behind.
Even Huang Wei was startled as he looked behind Long Qi with shock.
"Sect Master!" Huang Wei called out, not glad but actually indignant at the outcome of his battle.
The sect master had been after Long Qi for years but no matter how much Long QI tried to kill the slippery snake when he attacks him, the sect master always managed to slip away like a coward.
However, the sect master did not feel any shame proclaiming himself as Long Qi's equal even though he always loses and never even gained an equal footing with Long Qi in both cultivation and skills.
If there was anyone who ever got near that, it would be Huang Wei as he had proved himself to Long QI in this battle.
If Long Qi is the ultimate villain in this world that gained his strength through hard training and death threatening encounters, then Huang Wei would be the son of the heaven, born with a physique that simply defies logic with background and looks to match easily earning the attention of everyone.
Their circumstances changed when they have reached their potential. Long Qi easily come into his own strength while Huang Wei struggled to hold his.
"You slimy bastard" Long Qi cursed feeling his life force fading.
There is no way that he would let himself be taken down this way though.
Despite the blood running down at the corner of his lips and his heart pierced, Long Qi still smirked arrogantly.
"Evacuate!" The sect master immediately called out as the energy around them all rush towards Long Qi as his already to burst out creating a chaotic clash between the energies.
"Long Qi is planning to self-destruct!" Huang Wei announced creating a mass panic.
Long Qi can feel his energy about to burst but his eyes widened in shock when all of his energy went out of his control complete and was sucked into the pendant he picked up.
He tried to forcefully regain control, but it was too late and the last thing he remembered was plummeting into the red sea full of sea beasts.
