Chereads / Beast EMPEROR / Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Sky

Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Sky

A commotion broke out in the Guardian Beast Holy World a few hours after the disciples entered it. Different kinds of beasts wailed throughout the night, the commotion only stopped when the sun rose. Everyone moved further away from the forest as they knew that most of the Guardian Beasts had ran away already due to the 'hunter.' 

Deep within the forest, a gigantic mammoth layed on the ground dead and someone was sitting atop the corpse's head. Who else would it be if not Lu Zhen. His right hand slightly glowed, he patted the corpse twice before jumping off of it. As he slowly walked away, the corpse shrunk and turned into a ball of energy which flew towards him. Lu Zhen then sent it to his Spiritual World. 'I think these will be enough,' he thought to himself. He had more than a dozen of these energy balls which was equivalent to killing more than a dozen beasts which were more or less at the Mortal Shedding Realm. 

Bzzzz!

Finally, after hours of waiting, the mosquitoes sent news of a strong Guardian Beast. According to the information, the beast was residing at the tallest mountain peak. The mountain was so tall that it was covered by clouds. Lu Zhen then walked towards the mountain, he didn't need to search for it since it was the tallest mountain. Everyone could see it no matter where they were. 

Hours later, Lu Zhen reached the mountain. It was so tall that one would break his neck before he or she could even see the end of it. Plus, it was covered by thick clouds. 

Neigh! 

A horse's sound rang out as blinding light pierced through the clouds. The light was so blinding that one would think that a God was descending. Strong winds blew everything away. Lu Zhen was forced to cover his eyes and make sure that he was not blown away by the wind. The blinding light became dimmer and dimmer as a horse's figure could be seen. 

Lu Zhen uncovered his eyes and saw a snow white horse, its mane cascaded down the horse's neck like a waterfall, it had ten pure white wings, clear black eyes and a large white horn protruded from its head. Its aura was benevolent, noble, pure and majestic. "Go back human. You're not worthy of me!" haughtily said the Pegasus with a deep voice. Lu Zhen frowned and said, "I'm the one who decides if something or someone is not worthy of me, not the other way around." 

Lu disdained those that thought themselves better than him. "I will leave but I'll be leaving with you." Lu Zhen said as he pointed at it.

"Such insolence!" The Pegasus turned and kicked Lu Zhen's chest before he could react, he was sent flying kilometers away and stabilized himself after touching the ground. 

"I'm gonna enjoy stomping you beneath my foot." said Lu Zhen with excitement. His leg muscles contracted, he kicked the ground and closed the gap between him and the Pegasus. "Stupid horse! " He landed a punch squarely on the horse's face but it was only pushed back a few feets before kicking Lu Zhen again. 

Since he was prepared, he stabilized himself and landed a few meters away from the horse. An amazing battle then occurred in this tall mountain. 

Whoosh! 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 

"Enough! I yield." said the horse dejectedly, it was covered fist imprints and claw marks. They had been battling for half a day before the horse admitted defeat. Lu Zhen had to admit that the Pegasus was quite strong since it lasted half a day against his powerful body. 

Lu Zhen then approached the horse that was already kneeling on all four legs. "Am I still not worthy of you?" he asked with a smile on his face and his right leg placed on its face. "Yes." Pegasus replied without even thinking about it. "YOU..." before he could continue, the Pegasus interrupted, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that I sense terrifying killing intent from you, that's why we're not compatible. I'm the light and you're the dark." explained the Pegasus. 

Lu Zhen thought for a while before saying, "I also think you're not worthy of me. I loathe both your appearance and aura. SO WHY DON'T WE CHANGE IT!?" said Lu Zhen looking like a madman. The Pegasus's holy and noble appearance as well as its benevolent and gentle aura irritated him, he was walking in the path of darkness, he had no room for light. 

Before the Pegasus could figure out what he meant, it was already bound in thick chains  that immobilized its movements. "What's the meaning of this? I've already submitted to you, what more do you want?!"

Lu Zhen didn't say anything, he held the Pegasus's head with both hands. The Pegasus was truly afraid as it shouted numerous times that it submits but Lu Zhen didn't let go of its head. 

"I wonder who it is that's screaming like a madman." A young lady with beautiful looks heard the horse's shouting and walked towards the source of the sound. She was one of the Core Disciples and beauty of the Howling Wind Sect. She stood kilometers away from the source and hid herself in the bushes. She could still see everything even though she was standing so far away. This was another advantage of cultivating. 

'What's that young man doing?' she wondered. She saw a young man holding the Pegasus's head with both hands and the Pegasus was begging for mercy. What she saw next was beyond her comprehension. 

The young man's entire body turned pitch black as an aura of killing and death was released, it was so thick that it was close to solidifying. The grass and the trees suddenly withered as they couldn't handle the eerie and lifeless aura. 

Then something more amazing happened, the Pegasus was engulfed by the deathly aura like it was being devoured by it, changes then occurred starting with its wings. 

Its wings were suddenly losing their lustrous colour and being invaded by a pitch black colour. 

Neigh! 

The Pegasus tried to resist but it failed. Its body was turning black at a fast speed and its aura and body were being corroded. 

It squirmed on the ground as it changed, both its body and muscles grew larger. Its aura of benevolence, nobleness and pureness turned into that of ruthlessness, savagery and mercilessness. It was like a Pegasus that had emerged from the lowest levels of hell. Its eyes were bloodshot, no longer black and its horn exuded a terrifying killing intent. The ground from which it stood caved in and its breath was black like smoke. The lady was flabbergasted by this scene. She then left quickly. 

The Pegasus then knelt on all four legs and said in the deepest voice, "I greet master."

"From today onwards, your name is...Sky!"

Lu Zhen mounted Sky and as they soared through the Sky.

NEIGHHHH!!!

As the lady was escaping, she thought back to that scene, "That was definitely...the DEATH GOD!"
