The group got to the gate and Xia Chen set up a formation as the rest started killing. Long Chen suddenly went crazy and started killing everything. Cross was at the back with Xia Chen, shooting arrows at the Dark Beasts, killing them easily. Feng Xue'er was using Fire Phoenix Arts on the Dark Beasts, dancing in the air like a flame fairy.
Cross watched her with a smile as he shot arrows, he even sat down and floated his bow sideways, plucking the string like a Zither as Arrows blew out like a machine gun. The Formation was set up and the Dragon Blood Warriors were happy, they finally had a home in the Immortal World.
The constant killing was more training than anything. With the constant fighting, their Cultivations would increase significantly.
Even Celestial Reverend beasts weren't spared, Cross had strings shooting out in all directions collecting half the corpses as Long Chen collected the other half.
Long Chen suddenly roared and killed a trillion Dark Beasts. Yep, you read that right. A trillion Dark Beasts. Amazing right? Anyway, half the Trillion corpses were collected by Long Chen and the Rest were collected by Cross.
A giant mountain of corpses was sitting on top of the black soil and slowly being devoured. Long Chen was suddenly sent flying backwards and the Patriarch of the Full Moon clan went to fight the golden beast with 6 arms instead of 4. Apparently this was a Dark Lord.
Cross couldn't help but think of Voldemort here. Was he truly such a being? Hah, a big joke. But maybe that's what the thing he fought was? He wasn't sure, maybe, maybe not. Leaning towards maybe not.
Anyway the Patriarch fought it and the Dark Lord beast ran back to the den to rest. the Patriarch was injured but it wasn't too serious. Long Chen continued to fight along with the Dragon Blood Warriors, constantly sharpening themselves on a grindstone. The Corpses continued piling up and Long Chen started fighting the Dark Lord to stimulate his Dragon blood under the threat of death.
A month later
Long Chen broke through to the 2nd Level of the Immortal King Realm and another Dark Lord appeared. Cross was in the middle of the Dark Beast horde with his eyes closed, dodging everything that came near him and occasionally punching out to kill a beast.
He wanted to stimulate himself as well and this was the best way. All these Dark Beasts were Celestial Reverend level and their attacks were deadly, he didn't put up any defenses so one wrong move and Cross would become ribbons.
Nevertheless, he refined his body and dodged all the attacks with minimal movements like a ghost. His movements became faster and faster as time passed.
Another month later
Long Chen was at the 9th level of the Immortal King Realm. Cross was at the same but he was at the Peak Peak. A little more and he would break through to the 10th level, inside his body the Dragons swimming around started forming little runes. It was the runes for 'Heaven' but there was a slash through it, effectively becoming Heaven Rending.
Nice.
The Runes multiplied and grew all over his body. And with a little click, Cross advanced to the 10th Level of the Immortal King Realm. The Runes continued to multiply and grow infinitely as his body was still being refined.
Cross' every move was filled with a destructive will, he quickly got it under control and he suddenly seemed like a normal person without cultivation. It was very weird.
Long Chen flew away and Cross walked to the Dragon Blood Warriors, his figure blurred every now and then as he stepped as if the world couldn't handle his existence. With every step he traveled meters and the Dark Beasts around him fell to the ground dead.
All the corpses were disappearing and Cross stood in front of the Dragon Blood Warriors as he said mysteriously "What is the Heavenly Dao?" the group was stunned, Guo Ran replied "Everything?" Cross slapped him and laughed "A joke! To this daddy, the Heavenly Dao is fart! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Guo Ran ate the dirt and the group laughed.
Suddenly, the world brightened up and the Heavenly Dao changed, the spiritual Qi was getting richer and richer and everyone felt an unprecedented warmth from the World. Cross was stunned and looked at the ground in a daze.
Xue'er tapped his shoulder and said "Love?" Cross smiled and said "I like this place, surprisingly." Xue'er smiled and Long Chen came back saying "We have a home." The Dragon Blood Warriors cheered wildly, Yu Qingxuan smiled and looked at Long Chen lovingly.
Cross flashed next to Long Chen and whispered a few words in his ear, Long Chen opened his mouth wide and they both disappeared.
They came to the Star Realm Core cube and Cross approached it with a smile. He caressed the Cube and said "I'll help you, okay?" the space twisted in response and Cross spat out Golden Crystalline Liquid as he said "This is for the life aura and vitality." then he channeled the pure Chaos Qi into the cube, pushing the golden drop into the Cube at the same time.
The World started shaking and Long Chen said nervously "Is it alright?" Cross said "Relax, in terms of World Cores, I am the Ancestor." he enveloped the Cube in Chaos Qi and aura from his Inner World, nurturing the Cube with endless life.
He even covered the Cube in a bubble of Purity Dew as he injected all his elements, except Void, into it while nourishing it with Chaos Qi. The World stopped shaking and a Primordial Aura appeared, the grass grew, trees sprouted, flowers bloomed. Cross waved and above them Pseudo Trees of Life seeds were scattered across the entire world, soaking in the life aura and growing tall before producing their own life energy into the air.
Since the seeds were born into Chaos Qi, they gave off Chaos Qi as well.
Cross stepped back and the duo returned to the surface, Long Chen was assaulted by the extremely pure air and Qi. He was amazed, as were the rest. This was simply a holy land!
A while later
The Full Moon clan members left and everybody started working, Long Chen named the World the Exquisite World because of Yu Qingxuan, very personal.
Cross was sitting in the absolute middle of the world. Plants thrived around him and swayed in the wind happily, he looked up at the 7 colored sky and smirked. He mumbled "Are you ready?" the world buzzed and Cross imprinted a rune in the air.
The World shook and the 7 colors in the sky came together, forming a seven colored halo. The halo spun faster and faster before condensing into a 7 colored sun and hanging high in the air, burning brightly, illuminating the world with endless warmth.
The world flourished and became happy all of a sudden.
Long Chen was stunned and grinned "Good brother, he did it!" the sun set and a golden moon appeared in the sky with a pitch black background. The sky shivered and different colored stars started littering the sky, even in the night the moon and stars kept the world brightly lit.
The entire world was ethereal and hazy as if a dream or a fairyland.
The Chaos Qi and Primordial aura converged and invaded the world. Cross' voice rang in the world "Nine Star Sun, Endless Moon of the Void. One world, Two Gods, Three Qi's, endless prosperity." The world shivered and the Sun and Moon appeared in the sky at the same time, the world shook fiercely and multiple places were hit with rainbow pillars of light, the earth glowed, the sky shined, and a beautiful song rang throughout the world.
A while later
Everything calmed down and the 7 colored Sun lit up the world once more. Cross laid on his back, covered in sweat and smiled "Perfect." before falling asleep.
Half a month later
Xia Chen and Guo Ran finished setting up defenses in the world against the Dark Beasts and Long Chen took everyone out to go to a Saint King Competition. They came to Silver Moon City, the rebels were back!
Long Chen took care of the problem and grabbed an old man, who was revealed to be the Vice-Patriarch of the Sky tiger clan, who also worshipped Brahma. Long Chen traded the Vice-Patriarch's life for the rebels from the Full Moon clan.
The Sky Tiger clansmen made quick work of the rebels and threw them over. The 7th Elder tied them up and Long Chen threw the Vice-Patriarch back, the Sky Tiger clan immediately became hostile but they froze when Cross grabbed the Vice-Patriarch by the nape again.
The Vice-Patriarch almost spit out blood in humiliation. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. He even regretted coming here. Cross held the Vice-Patriarch and said with a smile "I don't like letting people go. Tiger meat is very tasty after all, it would be a real shame if you were allowed to walk out of here."
One man shouted at Long Chen "We had a deal!" Long Chen smiled and said "I said "I would give him back to you, who would've thought that he would land in someone else's hands?" he shook his head as if to say it was a truly tragic situation.
Cross grinned and said "You want your Vice-Patriarch back?" he pointed at the young man, who was a Supreme and most likely their candidate to fight in the Saint King Competition, as he said "Kill the boy and I'll give you your Vice-Patriarch back. Chose a life, the boy or the old man."
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, this was too ruthless! The young supreme was stunned and people were looking at him, as if to weigh his importance. Cross smiled and said "Of course, there is a 3rd option. Hand him over to me, I promise I won't kill him." he had a devil's smile on, the young man was sure that death would be a luxury if he was handed over.
The Sky Tiger clan finally said "Sorry, Vice-Patriarch." Cross clicked his tongue and said "Cold blooded!" he threw the Vice-Patriarch back and chuckled "You took so long, it seems you value the boy only a little bit more than the Vice-Patriarch... Tsk, Tsk. If I was the Vice-Patriarch I would be furious, after all you can breed new Supremes but is his wisdom from his long life invaluable?"
The Sky Tiger clansmen's faces fell and sure enough the Vice-Patriarch was very angry at them. He waved and left, leaving some words of revenge before they disappeared. Cross sighed and said "What a pity!" Long Chen shook his head and Guo Ran said "What's a pity, father-in-law?"
Cross almost cried as he said "A Supreme Sky Tiger mount! Gone! Just like that! Imagine riding a Sky Tiger into battle! Argh!" The group was stunned and Guo Ran slapped his forehead and said "Fuck! We should've taken him by force! Damn it!" Long Chen gave him a slap and the group left with Cross and Guo Ran gloomy over their loss.
the flew out of the Silver Moon World and crossed a dozen cities, buying special goods from the special races that were there. Cross walked the streets and secretly copied every book he saw in every city he went to. They continued and secretly robbed every Longteng Company they saw.
Unexpectedly, the Longteng Company released the news of Long Chen having the Universe Cauldron. With that piece of news, the group entered the Saint King Star Region.
Stones or Jimmy will tell your kids to run with scissors
They came through a transmission formation and Cross beat a Gong immediately, there were countless races and people waiting for them. They were about to speak when the loud Gong rang across the city.
Cross shouted "In 9 Heavens and 10 Hells, the Myriad Daos come together to make the invincible one. On all peaks, he is the loneliest man! In all worlds, countless corpses are left behind in his wake! All treasures submit, the Heavens can only sigh at his talents, even the ghosts cry in his presence!"
Long Chen was amused and Cross shouted "All those who step in his way, die!" countless people suddenly had their heads explode and they fell to the ground dead. Cross put the gong away and held his hands together as he said sadly "Amitabha, I have accepted your sacrifice." he waved his hands and all the corpses and blood disappeared.
Everyone was stunned silly.
Cross walked forward and sang "For the fools who cross my path~ Only the warm embrace awaits~ Lucifer laughs with a big smile~ Countless souls cross the yellow river~ I continue on my way, endlessly pushing through~ When will they learn~ This Daddy is invincible in all Worlds~"
As he walked and sang, people started dropping dead like flies with blood coming out of their eyes. People were truly scared, Cross continued "Whoever blocks my path will be slaughtered~ The King of Heaven trembles~ The Lord of Hell laments~ The Demons cry~ Buddha sighs~ As I walk~ Stones made of Bones~ Dyed red with the blood of my enemies~ My path breaks through the Heavens~ Who dares to stop my rise~ When I reach the peak and ascend~ They will only remember my name, the one who Rends the Heavens! Only I am Invincible!"
He clapped his hands together and the World trembled, the void started tearing and all the Races who were there to kill the group for the Universal Cauldron exploded and died before their corpses and blood disappeared.
Everyone who survived was scared silly.
Cross took out a goblet made of a skull and scooped up some blood before drinking it, he grinned at the onlookers with bloody teeth, prompting them to run away as fast as they can. Are you kidding?! This guy is a super demon!
Cross chuckled and the group went to the city gates. Cross gave the guards 3 gourds of wine and said "Drink, I swear this tastes better than the blood of my enemies! Haha!" The guards were so scared, one of them even fainted.
Cross scratched his neck and said "This... This isn't too good." Long Chen said "Can you blame them? You put up that whole show and made everyone scared!" Cross sighed and said "The truth is Mr. Guard. I'm a weak child, you see at birth my mother was very pitiful and was attacked by the Longteng Company. Now they revealed that my brother has the Universe Cauldron to avenge past enmities."
He almost cried and lamented "When will the torture end?!" before he started crying and hugged Xue'er. Long Chen said "Can you spread the news that I'm selling my bronze cauldron? Some people say it's the Universe cauldron. Maybe I can pick up a quick buck, you know?"
The guards were stunned, a two-pronged attack!
The first attack was tarnishing the reputation of the Longteng Company the next was revealing that they were selling the Universe Cauldron. It worked perfectly as people didn't believe that Long Chen had the Universe Cauldron and thought the Longteng Company was getting revenge for all the times he stole from them.
As such, nobody was willing to be used as a knife for the Longteng Company, especially not when there was no benefits whatsoever.
This way the group was unbothered in the city, Long Chen even went around trying to sell the Universe Cauldron, he kept calling it a bronze cauldron but when people said 'Universe Cauldron' he would blink and laugh saying 'Yes, yes, Universe Cauldron, of course. So 100,000 World King Crystals?'
In everybody's hearts, Long Chen was a swindler and the Longteng Company was an idiot. It didn't help their case when they had people firmly proclaiming that they were telling the truth. Someone asked them to swear on their soul but they refused.
And after that the doubts in people's hearts vanished into thin air. What Universal Cauldron? What a joke.
A few days later
The Full Moon clan showed up and the group left with them coming to a giant Winged Devil corpse. Apparently this guy was an Immortal before but now he was kneeling down with a spear nailing him to the ground.
Cross was awed and the Silver Chariot stopped a million miles away. You could still feel the pressure from here! Cross got out of the Chariot and walked towards the corpse, Long Chen, Yu Qingxuan, Feng Xue'er, Lily, Artemis, Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the rest of the Dragon Blood Warriors followed closely behind.
They continued walking and came within 100,000 miles from the corpse. A bunch of other people fell off but Cross and Long Chen's group continued for another 90,000 miles before Yu Qingxuan and Feng Xue'er stopped.
A dozen steps later, the Dragon Blood Warriors were suddenly pressed to the ground and their skeletons were making noises. Cross, Long Chen, and Xu Changchuan continued on to 1000 miles from the corpse.
Cross looked at a Demon and said "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" The Demon frowned and looked viscous but he had a white spiral shell on his back. Cross continued with a confused look on his face as he asked "You're a Gold Horn Demon, correct? But why do you have a White horn instead? Shouldn't it be gold?"
Actually, everyone was wondering this. The Demon was stunned, he was actually asked a question. He couldn't believe it. He shouted angrily "You're courting death!" Cross was stunned and said "Fellow, I really just wanted to know. Why are you so angry?" actually, everyone was a bit stunned, wasn't this demon a little unreasonable?
The Demon attacked and Cross stepped to the side, slapping him in the face as he said "Fuck! I asked a simple question! If you don't know, just say so!" the demon went flying back and slammed into the ground.
Cross walked to the corpse angrily, he was truly curious but obviously he wasn't getting an answer today! As expected, you can't even have a conversation with a demon. They all have shit for brains! He walked up the corpse and said "Scram!" at the ink-like substance on his legs.
The Ink-like substance exploded and Cross continued walking up in a bad mood. He came to a giant rusted spear and knocking on it saying "Aiyo! Wake up!" this was an immortal grade divine treasured spear! Are you kidding? Long Chen had the cauldron, he wanted this spear, no scratch that, he MUST have this spear.
Long Chen came up and Cross said "Split 50/50" Long Chen said "You're getting the Life Energy too!" Cross said "You have the Universe Cauldron!" everybody heard their conversation and Long Chen took out a bronze cauldron, he advertised the cauldron before telling the demons that he'll trade the corpse of the winged demon for a bunch of things.
The Demon clan guy got the things after a long conversation with his patriarch. He handed the things over to Long Chen, who laughed happily and put them away. One was a Supreme Blood Sea Lotus that was now growing in Long Chen's Inner World.
Long Chen wrapped the Bronze Cauldron in flames and smashed it against the spear. Cross had a calm expression but he was laughing in his heart, this guy swapped the Universe Cauldron with a Bronze cauldron made from the rust of the Universe Cauldron.
He hit the spear with the real cauldron covered in flames before swapping in the fake again and advertising the Universe Cauldron. Cross touched the spear and saw the scene of a man killing demons. Cross said "Your master was a cool guy, but now you're like this. Come with me and we'll slaughter Demons together, coincidentally killing Demons is my favorite pastime."
The spear buzzed and Cross pulled the spear hard, Long Chen smirked and the spear came out, turning into a 3 meter golden spear, while the Corpse was sent into the Black soil in Long Chen's World.
The duo laughed to the heavens and Cross held out the spear as he said "This daddy has the Golden Universe Spear of Myriad Demon slaughtering technique Arts of Death!" Long Chen almost coughed up blood and looked at Cross with disdain.
Cross chuckled and they landed on the ground as Demons came at them, angry that they were fooled. They went out for wool and came home shorn! No surprising though, as their heads were truly filled with shit.
Cross held the spear and said "Come! Come! You'll be the Broken Horn Demons from today onwards!" as he thrusted out the spear and blew a demon to smithereens. Cross laughed and looked more like a Demon, than the demons!
He charged into a wave of Celestial Reverends and swept the spear, killing groups at a time. He was simply invincible! The Patriarch of the Demon clan attacked and Cross jumped towards him, spinning the spear in his hand before thrusting forward.
The Patriarch of the Demons' eyes widened as the spear crushed his attack and was aimed right at his eyebrows. He flashed away and turned around to run away, unfortunately...
The void opened behind him and just as he turned around he kissed the spear as it pierced his head and killed him. Cross robbed the demon blind before throwing him into the black soil. He stood in the war like a Death God and said "Who the fuck else?!"
Everyone was scared and immediately fled, Cross sneered and the group left. They traveled to cities on the way to the Competition, buying everything they wanted. Cross copied the runes off the Spear and handed an entire book of Runes to Xia Chen and Guo Ran, who were so happy they shouted 'Thank you, father-in-law!' in unison.
Cross also copied the Runes visible on the Universe Cauldron and handed that book to them as well. Long Chen gave Guo ran all the Ores he took from the Demon guy and Cross let them raid his Forging Pavilion, but he threatened that if they didn't leave at least one behind he would hang them up by their underwear on the city walls.
They were immediately honest.
Cross nourished the spear with his soul, getting the Item Spirit to be born or wake up. Long Chen came to talk to him about the spear saying "I'll trade you for the spear." Cross said "Why do you need the spear? You use a sword, no? Do you want to switch?" he held it out as he said "I was just joking before, I don't want the spear. I just wanted to look cool and slaughter those demons from before. I don't think you should switch though."
Long Chen choked on his words and he smiled with red eyes saying "You're really a good brother." Cross smiled and said "Do you want it or what?" Long Chen took the spear and said "It's for Gu Yang." Cross said in surprise "The bald guy who is a master spear user?"
Long Chen nodded and Cross said "Well, it's probably better in his hands. If we find an Immortal Scythe I want it. I can have Aurora eat it and she'll become an Immortal Weapon herself." Long Chen smiled happily and said "We'll find it."
Cross smiled and suddenly there was a loud thunder rumbling in the distance along with a shout "Long Chen! Hand over the Universe Cauldron, or die!"
