Chapter 28: 28. Ritz

Inside the hut, the scenery changed drastically. On the outside, the hut looked to be very small with its owner most likely a very poverty-stricken person. This is why the cat and the wolf were surprised to find themselves in a magnificent hall whose splendour could shock the most wealthy of kings. The demonic beasts were shaken when they looked behind them to find that the door they had entered through was gone.

The white wolf walked to the wall that had appeared to cover the door and tried to look for a way out. When it failed to find any sign of the door, it turned around and looked at the black cat. The cat snorted at the wolf for its stupidity as it walked to the wall while looking at the 'stupid ' wolf.

The cat checked the wall trying all the things it could think of but no door was found. The wolf looked at the cat in disdain as it walked to the centre of the hall. When the cat saw this, it was displeased but gave up on its attempt as it followed the wolf. When the two reached the centre, a human figure appeared before them. He was floating in the air with his black hair moving around as though it was in flowing water. The wavy motion of his hair was mesmerizing giving him a beauty like no other.

This was an extremely beautiful man who put women to shame and left men gnawing their teeth with jealousy.

"I am Ritz and you two have activated the 256th trial for my inheritance. Before we begin, you should know that of all the other people who decided to take the trial, none survived to the end with most dying in the first trial. You have one chance to choose to depart from this place. Should you choose to give up, I will erase your memories of this place and teleport you outside the trial zone ." the man said in an authoritative voice.

The wolf and the cat looked at each other. They both communicated their willingness to take the trial. The wolf chose this path to gain power while the cat just did not want the wolf to look at it as a coward, but in truth, the cat wanted to leave the suicide trial immediately. Only a fool would join a trial where one hundred per cent of the people who take the it die.

Ritz did not think too much about why these two had chosen to take the trial but he could see that the cat's legs were trembling while the wolf was ready for death. Ritz could see in the wolf's eyes someone who had hoped for death more than a single time in their life. People like this usually have no fear of death and hope for it at times but they would never seek it out.Ritz was pleased with the wolf's attitude .

"Since you have chosen this path, I will tell you about what type of inheritance you have chosen to struggle for.

I am Ritz, in my lifetime, I had good luck and talent which enabled me to find an inheritance ground where I found a cultivation technique, the Absolute Zero Sutra. At the peak of this technique, it was described that one could freeze heaven and hell, death and life, and one could even freeze the laws that make up the world.

With this sutra and the many resources I found in the inheritance ground, I suppressed the other cultivators in my generation and was hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent . I quickly cultivated and was able to reach the Heaven Monarch realm, a single step away from becoming an Emperor, the highest level one can attain in the mortal world. I founded a powerful sect such that in one thousand years,it had already surpassed the other sects whose history span millennia and their legacies endless. I should have known better. Human greed can not be stopped, soon the other sects spread rumours that I cultivated in the Devilpath. The world turned on me. All my so-called friends abandoned me and before I knew it, the entire world was my enemy.

I was surrounded by thousands of so-called heroes of justice and we fought for seven days and seven nights. I was finally critically injured by a sneak attack from some despicable fellow who called himself the Sun Monarch, I had killed hundreds and the few tens who remained standing were heavily injured . I used the last of my power to circulate a forbidden escape technique . Unfortunately, I was too injured and even my enemies believed me dead . They wiped out my sect, killed my sons and my wives and daughters were sold into brothels and any man or beast with even the smallest amount of money would be allowed to do as he pleased with them .

As I lay dying in some small mountain, I captured a passing cultivator who told me all this. I was so angered that I gave up the only chance to save my life and used another forbidden technique to temporarily gain cultivation even beyond my former peak.

In my anger, I had resolved to die with my enemies, I attacked these righteous sects one by one killing every living being in the sect from people down to the rats . As I killed, my soul became warped more and more until I had become the devil they had accused me of being . My power became even greater and soon, even those who had nothing to do with the righteous sects that had attacked me were being killed like chicken by me .

I visited the brothels where I found that my wives and daughters were long dead from being raped day and night by men and beats. My only surviving daughter was left on the brink of death with her psyche forever distorted.I had not gone to rescue my family the instant I began my attack because I did not know where they were. I only knew that they were in a brothel. I used the last of my power to fix her injuries, erase her memories of the incident and increase her cultivation to the peak by sacrificing the remainder of my life. In doing so, her talent was raised to a level beyond even my own . I teleported her into the Devil Domain. I then escaped and set up this trial ground. Should one of you pass my trial, you shall become my disciple and you will also fulfill three of my wishes without fail . In return, I will teach you everything I know about cultivation, give you all my wealth and cultivation techniques ."

Ritz said leaving the beasts dumbfounded.
