Chapitre 4: Incoming disaster
As Alex rode his surfboard through the heavens, he found that it was it was very easy to get through seventh, sixth, and fifth heaven. In the light novel, it is mentioned that cultivators from 6th heaven, can easily cross fifth heaven, but not the other way around.
The same applies to the higher heavens, since Alex was from 8th heaven, he could easily get through the heavens below.
Unlike the other heavens, the 8th and 9th heaven did not take killing too lightly. The heavens below follow the rules of the jungle, where the strongest can kill the weak, and there will be no questions asked.
But the heavens on 8th heaven and above, have a system, kinda like first heaven. If Alex had been on seventh heaven where the killing took place, he would not have been so adamant to leave that place.
The cultivators saw Alex riding through the heavens at the speed of a Qian level cultivator. So naturally, they dared not to provoke him.
Alex only combined his thunderbolt, and cultivation into this surfboard, which easily made it look like his speed was on par with a Qian level cultivator. If he were to apply his demonic powers as well, it will easily surpass a soul formation cultivators speed.
He did not want to go to first heaven, not yet. He needed to find a place for himself. Now that he killed a very important figure on 8th heaven, there will not be a doubt that someone will offer an incredible bounty on his head.
He does not know how the bounty system works, whether the heavens below 5th heaven will even receive the notice of his bounty. But, he must get used to this, as he is gonna become a legendary assassin in the future.
He reached his destination in no time at all, fifth heaven. The reason he chose this place, is fairly simple, to hide. No one would expect that he would hide on fifth heaven, as each heaven was a huge place.
With the help of his cultivation, he can easily hide in here and not get noticed. However, his appearance is too eye catching, from white hair, blue eyes, there aren't that many people with the same appearance as him.
He cannot go to a hair salon to get a new makeover, as those deity's have special eyes that can easily see through his disguise.
Alex found a place where nobody was residing in. The place looked simple, and it was big. He suspects that this the place that Hao Ren and his friends will use in the future, as mentioned in the light novel. It was called Ethereal summit or something like that.
"Hm, nice place. I could get used to this." Alex couldn't help but admire this view. In his whole life, he has never personally experienced a place like this, mostly because of money problems in his past life.
"Now, let me check my spoils of war." Alex took out several stuff he stuffed inside his storage. From a soul, to a corpse, a box, and earrings.
"I wonder what these earrings do? Jerry didn't have the chance to explain as my commandment turned him to stone." Alex took his time to insert the earrings in his ears. And so far, nothing happened.
"Weird. I don't feel anything. Are these even valuable?" Alex complained. But he didn't take them off, as it could be useful in the future. Only god knows what these earrings do.
"Can you tell me what these earrings do?" Alex said.
"No! Unless if it involves the system or souls, I will not answer your petty questions." Devil responded harshly.
"Boo": Alex said.
"Ah whatever, let me check this box." He carefully opened up the box, which opened easily. Whatever is in this box must be incredible, as even his demon powers are reacting to it.
Inside the box, was an egg. This egg is not ordinary breakfast egg. The egg is as big as the palm of an adult. It had weird black swirly lines all around it, and it seemed to have some sort of demonic power inside it.
"Weird. This is clearly not from any of the heavens above the fifth, so it must be from the demon ocean clan." Alex said to himself.
"Oh, that reminds me." Devil said suddenly.
[Kill 10 demon kings within the first week and offer their souls to the true demon king. 200,000 SP]
"Why did you give me this mission?" Alex responded quite confused.
"Because those who dare call themselves the demon king in front of me, deserve to die. I am the one and only demon king here, and there shall be no other. They ruin my image, so I am assigning you a job to exterminate those false demon kings." Demon king said very angrily. You can tell that he doesn't like it when people use his title.
"Well hey, if it means more SP for me, then sign me up." Alex responded happily.
"Good."
'However, if I remember correctly, there should be a huge number of demon kings on the bottom of the ocean. Each of them possess this title for a reason; either they are Qian level, or have already passed the heavenly tribulation. Either way, as I am now, I cannot kill them.'
"Oh that's right, I still have Jerry's soul." He took out the little soul from his storage, which tried to run away as soon as it got out.
"Oh no you're not!" He managed to get ahold of the soul before it ran away.
"You know, some people cultivate by absorbing the elements around them. Hao Ren cultivates using lightning. But I have an original way to cultivate, and that is by eating the souls of strong cultivators." Alex said as he stuffed the soul inside his mouth.
However this time, it did have another taste. It did not taste dull, but sour. It was gross.
"BLEGH! Why do souls taste so bad?" Alex complained as he almost hurled the soul out of his system.
"This is what I am talking about. The two souls you have eaten are filled with nothing but their sins. The souls of the kind hearted and hard working, are the tastiest there is." Devil casually responded.
"No wonder you are so desperate for souls, now I can finally relate to you."
"Ugh, tell me about it."
"I'd rather not, the taste is still lingering in my mouth." Alex responded.
*BOOM* *BOOM* The sound of explosions occurred inside the body of Alex. He ate the soul of another Qian cultivator, which instantly elevated his cultivation. He has gone from low tier Xun, to high tier Kun.
If he were to keep eating Qian or Kun level souls at this rate, his cultivation would keep improving at a terrifying rate. Not even a Soul formation master can elevate the cultivation level of one person this fast.
"Man, since when did Qian masters were so easy to kill? At this rate, I won't need to worry about Hao Ren when he cultivates." Alex smiled at the thought of this. He was worried at first about fighting Hao Ren in the future, but now he seems that he has underestimated the powers of the system too much.
"Not only that, but I still have my commandment, and other abilities." Alex pointed out.
"I need to eat more powerful souls. Maybe if I go to first heaven, I can trick people with my commandment, and take their souls."
"But first, I want to know what is up with this egg." Alex held the egg in his hand. He tried very hard to think what this is, but to no avail. He could not remember anything from the light novel describing an egg like this, not even his foreign memories could deduce what this was.
"What if I insert it some of my cultivation in it?" Alex easily controlled his energy into this egg. But instead of absorbing it, it repelled it and caused Alex to fly off meters away.
Alex crashed his back on a mountain. The force of that egg is too inhumane.
"What da fuck?!" Alex couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Lol, I like it when MC's get beaten up by an egg. CLASSIC!!!" Devil laughed at Alex's misfortune.
"Shut up!" Alex answered with a red face. He just thought that not even the MC of this world would beat him, and yet, he got sent back by an innocent egg.
The egg was there, standing on the ground as if nothing had happened. When Alex got sent back, he dropped the egg to the ground by accident.
"If even an egg could do that to me, then what will happen when it has hatched?" Alex questioned this messed up theory.
"Since it repelled my cultivation energy, what would happen if I send some of my demonic powers into it?" Alex cautiously picked up the egg with one hand. He inserted a little bit of his demonic energy into it.
Unlike last time, it did not repel it. Instead, it absorbed the demonic energy. Cracks started to appear on the surface of the egg.
A yellow light appeared between the cracks. Not only that, but a very dark and yellow light came out it at the same time. The egg started to furiously shake uncontrollably.
*BOOM* A huge sound erupted that it shook all of fifth heaven. The black and yellow light pierced all the way through the heavens, literally. Everybody from 1st to 9th heaven saw that black-yellow light piercing through their lands.
Every single human cultivator, demon and dragon cultivators saw and felt that immense power.
***************************************************************
On first Heaven.
Zhao Yanzi was casually watching T.V. as she finally came back home from school. She wore her usual hairstyle, as well as her middle school uniform.
Zhao Hongyu, was preparing dinner. She wore a beautiful blue apron, which brought out her charisma as a loving mother, and a supportive wife. She wore her hair in a ponytail position.
Zhao Guang was busy chatting with Zhao Kuo, something about dragon stuff. Zhao Yanzi heard every word they said, but paid no mind to it as it wasn't her problem.
As the two men were talking, they stopped when they sensed something very powerful. Zhao Hongyu felt it too, and accidentally dropped a plate to the ground, which smashed into pieces.
Zhao Yanzi didn't feel it, as her cultivation is still too low to be able to sense something like that.
"Did you feel it too?" Zhao Guang asked his brother, who is still the strongest immortal cultivator on first heaven. Zhao Kuo had yet to fail his heavenly tribulation, which is why he is still the strongest here, aside from soul formation cultivators residing here in secret.
"Yes I did. This feeling can only mean one thing, and I don't like it one bit." Zhao Kuo responded heavily. This feeling gave him a sense of danger, and to make the number 1 cultivator in first heaven feel this much danger, is a very bad thing.
"An immortal being… A being only mentioned in legends, even more legendary than dragons… has been born into this world." Zhao Guang added. It is clear that they knew what it was, and they feared it.
"Immortal being? What's that?" Zhao Yanzi asked very curious to what they were talking about.
"An immortal being, is said to be born once in a million years, or in a billion years. Whenever it shows up, it is said to either bring this world chaos and destruction, or wishes and life." Zhao Guang responded to her daughter.
"It is also said that once it is born, it will have the power equivalent to a heavenly dragon, and that is just the start. As the days go by, it will become stronger, even beyond that of a heavenly dragon. Once it reaches its peak, it could destroy continents in a snap." Zhao Kuo added.
However, a hint of fear crept up on Zhao Yanzi. All her life she had been spoiled, so she was kind of afraid that such a being exists in this world.
"Scary." Is what she said. She couldn't help but run to her mommy.
"You three stay here. I'll go have a look." Zhao Kuo said as he was about to take off.
"Wait! You are not a heavenly dragon yet, so how can you face such a monster!" Zhao Guang stopped Zhao Kuo on his steps. He could not risk having his brother fighting against such a thing.
"I am the number one cultivator on first heaven, so I am not afraid of such a thing." Zhao Kuo responded with a tone full of pride.
"Sis, I'll be borrowing your River-mountain Qian-kun painting." He took Zhao Hongyu's painting so fast, that she didn't have the chance to say anything.
Zhao Guang could only watch as his brother flew towards that energy.
"Careful." Is all he could say right now. He is nowhere near as strong as his brother, so he couldn't do much about his behavior.
On another part of the world. In a high school, there was a beautiful woman sitting in a cross-legged position. She is cultivating hard in an office, just for her.
This beauty is indeed Su Han. She sensed a huge disturbance from a very far location. It interrupted her cultivation, but she didn't care as that energy was very powerful.
"An immortal being has been born! Hm." Su Han wrinkled her nose, trying to think what to do in this situation.
This energy will without a doubt cause numerous cultivators from all over the world to come to this event. If she is correct, there might be a blood bath after this.
If dragons, humans, and demons were to confront each other for something like an immortal being, then there will be a war that will affect the world. She wouldn't be surprised if World War III were to occur.
However, as a level four inspector, it is her job to inspect these types of things, especially when it is so close to her turf.
Grabbing her sword, she flew in it and towards that powerful energy.
"Once in a million years. If an immortal being has been born, then there is a huge chance that one could easily tame it. I must not let it fall into the wrong hands." Su Han said to herself.
She must make sure that this power doesn't fall into the wrong hands, especially the ocean demon clan.
In another part, there was a very old lady, smiling happily as the sweet little girl in front of her, was taking care of her.
"Grandma, I'll be going now. Take care. I'll be back tomorrow." Xie Yujia said with a warm smile.
The young girl is indeed Xie Yujia, who is still taking care of the soul formation cultivator. It is mentioned that she had taken care of the old master for almost 2 years, which is why she came to be a student of a powerful master.
The old lady pretended to be a mute. All she could do was nod at her, for taking care of her without anything in return.
Xie Yujia smiled at her, and left the house. It was a shabby house, but that was the grandma's decision.
Qingfeng Hermit, shook her head slightly after Xie Yujia left. Xie Yujia had been taking care of her, as if she were a defenseless old lady. Little did she know, that this grandma is OP.
(I spend like 2 hours trying to find her name.)
"She has such a poor body structure for cultivation. But still, I had already decided to take her as my student. Why haven't I done that now? It clearly would have been very beneficial for her." Qingfeng Hermit asked herself a simple question.
"Hm. As soon as I find this 'little older brother' she keeps talking about, I'll give him a good lesson."
Xie Yujia told grandma everything, even the boy she used to like. However, even grandma cannot find someone with a name of 'little older brother' she will need more pieces of information before she can find him.
"However, if he isn't fit for Xie Yujia, I'll teach him another lesson." Said to herself.
At this moment, the huge powerful energy reached the old grandma.
"This energy! It can't be! There hasn't been one of these things in a long time." Qingfeng Hermit said in shock. She knew very clearly what this power meant, and it even shook her body.
"It'll be a matter of time before others notice this energy. I must reach it before anyone else does." She said as she flew at a terrifying speed towards the energy.
The same situation occurred with various powerhouses. No one knows what's gonna happen next.
****************
Back to Alex.
The light did not blind him, he even found it refreshing and warm.
Once the light faded, all that was left of this land was nothing. This little egg managed to literally waste every single little piece of land here, it was no different from a wasteland.
"Welp… so much for hiding out here." Alex could only say this as he looked at the piece of destroyed land.
"Huurrr…. Huuurrr." What sounded like heavy breathing, it was the thing that came out of the egg.
Alex took a closer look at this thing. When he got close enough for a good view, he was shocked by what he saw.
What resembled a horse, stood in front of Alexander. The horse was the size of a palm. It was all black, with six legs. It had red eyes and pointy white teeth: It's hooves made a clunking sound. What is also shocking, is that it could fly with the wings on his back.
It looked like a six legged, black Pegasus from hell.
"Woah, you actually look pretty badass. And here I was expecting a beautiful girl to pop out, and I would have named her 'Eggy' I guess I can only dream." Alex sighed as his dreams were shattered.
But still, that midget Pegasus looked very cool.
"Neeiiigh!!!" The Pegasus from hell seems to understand it, and it went into a frenzy.
"Well, what should I call you? Eggy is out of the question. But how about… Alucard?! Nah, something more creative..: little black? NO! That's super racist! Whatever, I'll just name you Steven!" Alex declared proudly.
The Pegasus understood what he said, and he was actually satisfied with his name.
"So… are you my pet?" Alex didn't expect a response from it, but shockingly, the horse nodded at his answer.
"Woah! You have intelligence. Congrats, now you are smarter than my father ever was… before I shot him in the head. Well Steven, welcome aboard." Alex said as he extended his arms for him.
Steven understood what he meant, as dashed at a frightening speed towards Alex. He was not ready for Steven, as he sent him back several meters away just from that dash.
"PUUUU!!!" Alex spat out a mouthful of saliva, when he was caught off-guard by Steven's headbutt.
His back once again met the same mountain when he was sent back.
"Uh… That power is equivalent to a soul formation master… Oh god. What have I done?" Alex said to himself, as he saw the midget pegasus trotting on his stomach happily.
"You better get out, you have visitors incoming." The devil said to Alex by communicating through his mind.
"Visitors? Did they already posted a bounty on my head?"
"I wish that were the case, but you are very lucky yet unlucky to be met a disaster." The devil couldn't help but take a look at the little pegasus in front of him. He was not afraid of it, but he did find this species incredibly rare, even for him.
"Hey! Where are you, you little immortal thing?" Zhao Kou yelled out to whatever was here.
"Ah shit! What have I done?" Alex said to himself. Today is not gonna end well for him.
