章節 60: Tests

Recap of last chapter for those who skipped it:

//Wind's group reached the final destination following the route on the map. This place was a large strategy formation which mimicked a separate world with desert, grassland, water and even a sky and a sun! There were many treasures lying here and there but also accompanied dangers. Wind's group set a camp first to secure a place to fall back to in case of unforeseen events. Before exploring the strategy world they rested and dual cultivated. Xiao went on submissive and allowed Plant King & Wu Shang to have their way with her. Hei kept trying his best to help other girls level up. Wind ruminated on Lightning Thunder technique while the elf milf sucked his electrifying penis.

After a day and night they set out for further exploration but were suddenly teleported away to separated places where new challenges awaited them.

& there Xiao's husband reappeared! The one who was believed to have died more than a decade ago.

------------

Boom! Boom! Bam!! Loud sounds echoed as Wind fought the stone puppet. They were fighting without weapons. It's not that Wind didn't want to use weapons, but that when he tried to summon them, none of them came out of the spatial ring. It was as if a formless force was stopping the summoning.

Annoyed though he was, Wind had no choice but to fight the puppet with fists and kicks. His skin was tough like armor, his meridians were wide like pipes, his chi recovery was amazing! And yet…

Bam! As a punch landed on Wind's chest, he coughed out a trail of blood as he was blown backwards due to the impact. He fell and skidded on the rocky ground to some distance.

Boom! The puppet landed where Wind was lying. In the last moment, Wind had managed to roll away evading another injury. Rocks flew about him as a small crater had formed under the puppet's feet.

Swoosh! The puppet swung its leg, trying to kick Wind but using the Clown Combat technique + the movement aspect of Sword Dance technique, Wind was thus barely able to dodge it. The puppet lunged at Wind nonstop and Wind kept dodging. He was capable of doing so from the start but earlier he didn't know that his strength and endurance were below this stone puppet.

"What's going on?" Wind thought. "Even if I'm one whole realm below this puppet, I've been cultivating the Perfect Body cultivation technique. I should be able to fight off initial levels of Sage realm warriors. This puppet is at level 3. That is still within my limits."

Whoosh! Thwok! The puppet closed in faster than Wind anticipated and swung a kick at him which Wind had to block with his forearm.

Crack!! Wind's forearm bone broke!

"What the fuck!!" Wind cursed while retreating. He no longer intended to stay near this odd puppet.

Swoosh! The next moment, puppet was already in front of him. A rocky fist enlarged in Winds vision. He arched backwards, dodging the punch narrowly.

Bam! A knee landed on his abs and he was pushed back. The puppet was getting faster with each passing moment. Bugles rang in Wind's mind! Just now he witnessed the puppet's cultivation base increasing! It was now at level 4 Sage realm!

"Fuck!" Wind shouted and ran with all his strength. Cold winds whistled past his ears as he sprinted with breakneck speed.

Swoosh! A silhouette caught up with him from the right side.

"..." Wind felt speechless as the puppet punched towards him.

Boom! A loud sound echoed in the area.

-------------

"Kyaahh!! Stop attacking me you mindless beasts!" Aerin yelled as she closed her eyes in fear and ran with all her might. Her huge breasts were bouncing here and there. Her big hips grinded continuously as her legs splashed on the water and mud.

Grawwrrrr!! Multiple crocodile beasts growled and swam behind her. Soon they encircled her. These beasts were about half the size of an elephant and had glowing red eyes. They were fast like fishes and powerful enough to kill initial level Sage realm warriors. Aerin was in deep trouble. Her big bosom heaved up and down as she panted, looking all around her. She lacked combat techniques. Although she had some of the elf combat techniques, she had never practiced them and relied on strategies alone. But any strategy that could repel sage realm beasts would take a long time to set up. Aerin would be chomped to death by then. Hence, she had decided to run away and get to some distance where she could take her time setting up a defensive strategy. But the beasts didn't give her any chance.

"Master, help me!" Aerin shouted. Although with her magic, she was able to regenerate her body even from a tiny bit. But that didn't mean she was ok with getting chomped and ripped apart alive!

Swoosh! A beast jumped at her. She dodged.

Splash!!! The beast fell in the swamp water and quickly turned around. Meanwhile another beast jumped at Aerin. Soon she was sweating profusely as she barely managed to dodge each time. The crocodile beasts were swift in water but not in air. They also couldn't agilely change their direction while in air. Hence, they were predictable for Aerin. But they were too many and were closing the diameter of the encirclement.

Suddenly Aerin jumped and dodged again. She had sensed the presence of a beast approaching her from under the water. And it wasn't the only one.

"How…how can I survive against these beasts?" Aerin mumbled.

Swoosh! A beast got the chance and leapt at Aerin. Its massive jaw clamped around her whole arm and it pulled her along. With a splashing sound Aerin fell into the swamp. Her scream got muffled underwater as red blood mixed into it. Soon all the crocodiles reached Aerin and pounced on her, splashing their heads under the water to feast on her flesh.

-------

Meanwhile in a blank space, tens of thousands of demons were growling as they all attacked a man in the center. That man was Wu Shang.

Boom! An energy explosion occurred as several demons were incinerated while other were pushed backwards. A golden staff was shining in Wu Shang's hands. His eyes revealed a cruel glint.

Swoosh! Wu Shang disappeared from his spot and appeared a mile away from there. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of demons burst to death in a line behind him. Wu Shang had struck them while moving towards his current spot.

Heavenly Staff technique! Wu Shang had mastered this empyrean grade technique. With his Sage realm power, he was able to bring the best out of this technique and simply massacred the demons wherever he went. However, this was a demon army he himself had raised. They had won several fights for Wu Shang. In almost each battle there was a Sage realm warrior whom Wu Shang defeated through demons. He himself was at Sage realm. His fate too wasn't going to be much different from his past opponents. His body seemed always in a blur as he moved, attacked and defended continuously. Demons of all shapes, sizes and cultivation bases attacked Wu Shang relentlessly. Blood splattered and floated around in the dark space. Demons kept looking around, trying to find where Wu Shang was as he was moving around nonstop.

"Chaos burst!" Wu Shang suddenly shouted and his body burst out with powerful shockwaves that blew up several Master realm demons and pushed the others backwards. Next Wu Shang flew towards a random direction and resumed fighting the demons.

----------------

Clang! Clang! Fwip! Two swords clanged together as Plant King fought the faceless opponent. There were cuts and bruises everywhere on Plant King's body while the faceless man kept recovering from any damage. This left Plant King perplexed. He had the wood element constitution, providing him with extremely rapid recovery speed. It was to the point where he could even resurrect after death!

But in this fight, he was simply unable to regenerate. Not only that, it seemed as if his wood element traits had ceased to exist. He was unable to use any moves from his wood element technique. Thus, he had to rely on a weapon and another combat technique named Silvery Flicker. It was attack oriented and the sword moves of it were too fast. Observer would only see a slivery flicker as the sword moves.

However, to Plant King's surprise, the faceless man was also using the same technique! It felt as though Plant King was facing his mirror image. Luckily the opponent hadn't used any other techniques but he was still able to overpower Plant King gradually. It was a battle of attrition. Without his healing powers, Plant King would eventually lose. He was already panting and sweating as he swung his sword to attack the faceless man. He needed to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The swords collided. Plant King felt annoyed. None of his attacks were getting through. In his entire life he had solely relied on his constitution and the technique suited for it. Now without the benefits of these two, he was feeling a lot of pressure.

-----------------

Crackle! The lightning cracked loudly and a thunderbolt struck the already battered Lan. She was bleeding heavily and her hair had burnt off. Her skin was also burnt and she was in a terrible state having been bombarded with countless thunderbolts all this time.

Lan tried to dodge using her full energy and using the movement aspect of Sword Dance technique. But she failed. The speed of thunderbolts was too fast. Lan was struck by lightning yet again.

"Ahh!!!" She screamed loudly and fell on the metallic floor.

Krroom! Kroom!! Lightning storm kept brewing and hurled several thunderbolts at Lan. She had no more hope of dodging. She braced herself for the worst. Her screams echoed in the vast area.

------------

In the ruins of a castle, Saiyu was panting hard. She was drenched in rainwater. Her knight armor made metallic sounds as the raindrops fell upon it. The blood on her sword was washed away by the rain and mixed into the water accumulated near her feet. She looked at the now-dead opponents. She had killed them all after a heated battle.

But right at that moment, the dead opponents started to move again! They had come alive!

"Urg, that hurt, you bitch!" One of the opponents scowled and picked up a weapon from the ground.

"You…!" Saiyu was lost for words. But she leapt forward and decided to chop them all down to bits!

Screams and clanging sounds echoed as Saiyu fought this large group. However, they kept coming back to life! It was as though they were zombies. Saiyu had plenty energy to go about, but this zombie hoard was getting on her nerves. Not only that, their numbers seem to have increased without her noticing. Saiyu frowned as she realized something wasn't right. But with the hoard lunging at her again, she had no time to investigate. She met them blow for blow and started massacring them again.

----------------

"Deodomus! It's me, Xiao! Your wife! Don't you recognize me?" Xiao shouted as tears flowed down her cheeks. The love of her life, her husband whom she thought had died long ago, was alive and in front of her. But he had not uttered a single word and kept attacking her mindlessly. Xiao dodged and retreated but the corridor was narrow and not long. She was stuck here with a crazed Deodomus who seemed to have become twice as bulky as the last time she saw him.

Boom! A wall segment was punched a huge hole in by Deodomus as he attacked Xiao but was dodged and instead hit the wall. Deodomus turned angrily and lunged at Xiao again. Meanwhile the wall recovered on its own, magically. It was seemingly impossible to break out of the corridor by destroying it. Xiao was lost for options. There was no way out. She could only fight!

"I hate to do this…" Xiao mumbled through gritted teeth and tried to summon a long sword but…a formless force stopped the summoning! Xiao was internally shocked. None of her spatial rings were working!

Boom! She narrowly dodged another punch and then a kick and so on until she was backed into a corner. Her breathing was heavy. Not due to exhaustion but due to the sudden turn of mysterious events. Her dead husband reappeared, he didn't recognize her and wanted to kill her, she was stuck in a self-repairing corridor and now she had no access to any weapons or shield. She was by herself in this fight.

Swoosh! A big fist struck towards Xiao.

Thwok! She blocked it by crossing her forearms in front of her face. Intense pain assaulted her as her bones immediately broke under the impact.

"Gahh!!" Xiao groaned in pain but just then a knee hit her squarely on the jaw, dislocating it and breaking many of her teeth.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Deodomus sent a flurry of heavy punches and kicks at Xiao and ruthlessly beat her up. His cultivation was also in the Sage realm at level 6! Just that alone was a huge advantage but he also had a bulky strong body and was seemingly using a brute force technique while Xiao had nothing on her. She was thoroughly beaten and her screams filled the corridor.

-----------

Wind groaned as he covered his head with his broken forearms but the puppet's strength was too huge for him.

Bam! Crack! Wind's skull cracked under the impact of the kick. Every bone in his body had already been broken by the stone puppet whose cultivation had risen to level 8 Sage realm. By this time, Wind had already been defeated. He couldn't use any weapons and his techniques allowed him to survive only thus far. Even so, he was still continuously expending his energy to mend his bones. Using the Yun Acupressure technique, he had also watered down the pain but it was still enough to make him groan as the puppet bashed him nonstop and with each kick and punch, broke Wind's bones. His bones were the only weak aspect of his body now. The puppet was thoroughly utilizing that. Wind had managed to learn the basics of medical science due to the techniques and plethora of elf sciences he gained from Aerin. But he was still at the very basics and hadn't much time to read and practice. He only knew how to adjust broken bones and using his energy to help facilitate quick recovery. But he kept getting beaten up and new injuries were inflicted on his body. His internal organs were also bleeding much and it was getting difficult to heal them. Wind didn't know how long he could last.

"…!!" Suddenly Wind's eyes shot open as he realized something. "This… isn't the 5th chapter of Perfect Body cultivation technique about strengthening the bones?" Wind thought. "I can utilize the current predicament to my advantage if I cultivate the technique now. But…without mastering the 4th chapter…"

Wind was hesitant. It was common knowledge that any technique must be learned in serial-wise chapters, unless there were separate aspects of it. Such as- Sword Dance technique. It had two aspects- attack & movement. Wind had learned the movement aspect first. But even though Perfect body technique had three aspects of cultivation, combat (attack, defense) & support (movement, enhanced perception), they were not really divided in different chapters. What Wind had obtained was only a remnant of an ancient unique technique. He didn't know the full content which had been lost over the centuries. So, he decided to play safe and mastered one chapter at a time. Jumping from 3rd chapter to 5th chapter could have adverse effects.

"Well, whatever…" Wind muttered. "It's not like I can master the 4th chapter right now. I can only bet on the 5th chapter!" Thinking so, Wind's eyes flashed with determination and he began moving his energy through his meridians in a unique manner. It flowed as though in bundles and was directed towards his bones. But this energy, instead of healing the bones, actually melted them!

Pain! Intense pain assaulted Wind as he was injured both from outside and inside. But he persevered and kept cultivating. His energy melted one bone at a time, then kept the bone fluid from spilling elsewhere and kneaded it, healing it in the process and condensing it into a new bone. The bone was rebuilt and was shiny like white polished stone but had the durability rivaling a beast's! In this manner Wind continued to cultivate and started evolving his bones to a whole new level with seemingly no repercussions thus far. He saw hope.

-----------

In a marshy swamp, lights were flickering as energy rippled around. It formed a multilayered bubble of energy that obstructed the crocodile beasts to some degree. In the middle of the bubble, Aerin was healing herself. Her right arm was entirely gone and there were deep wounds all over her body. She was in a terrible state. She had been attacked by the beasts minutes ago, throwing her in a dire spot. With death at the doorsteps, Aerin activated a bunch of low-level defensive strategies in a flurry. It bought her just enough time to collect herself and escape death.

Boom! A beast attacked the outermost barrier of a strategy and shattered it with ease. Other beasts did the same and the barriers popped like bubbles. They were all weak strategies and hence could provide barely any defense in front of multiple beasts. But quantity turned out to be a quality of its own. These weak strategies were easy to set up and Aerin had thousands of these stocked up in her spatial ring. She kept activating more and more of these strategies. The beasts were easily breaking them apart but they couldn't get to Aerin at all. Aerin finally got a breather and had healed herself. Her magic was unaffected and she had full access to her spatial ring too. It's just that her battle prowess was so pathetic that a bunch of beasts alone were enough to send her to the jaws of death.

As Aerin got up, she had an epiphany. In her life she had only pursued strategies but as her cultivation rose over centuries and she mastered her craft; she started adding art to her strategies. At times she was fluid, at times she was generic. Ultimately, she started focusing entirely on robust and complicated strategies but just now, all those strategies were rendered useless. Instead, it was the weak strategies that saved her life.

"Even though I can maintain this state of passive defense, this will not get me out of the overall situation." Aerin thought. "I need to retaliate. I need to thwart these beasts away or kill them and get out of this swamp!" Aerin clenched her fists and started to think. Attack strategies were rare and few. She knew some obviously but she no longer wanted to try them. She had realized that the complicated strategies were only good to be set up in advance of a battle. In the heat of the battle, they'd be impractical. Thus, she turned her attention towards the small weak strategies and started brainstorming. Once she used an attack strategy, she would have to compromise her defense. Thus, she couldn't make a half assed strategy. Multiple strategies would be good but they might interfere with each other. Strategy was like mechanical engineering. There was a lot of intelligence, ideas, trials and determination required. Aerin hadn't been through such a situation ever before in hundreds of years of her life. But she was determined to emerge victorious.

----------------------

In a dark space an injured Wu Shang was panting fast. His forehead was covered in sweat as he gazed around himself. Hundreds of dismembered demon corpses were floating around, painting a horrifying gore picture of the battle Wu Shang fought with the demons.

He was still standing but was very cautious. The corpses had become an obstruction to his sight. The demons could emerge from any dark corner and use the corpses to hide from Wu Shang's gaze. Although these demons weren't intelligent beasts like orks or goblins, they still had their hunting instincts which enabled them to employ tricks such as ambush. Now the pace of battle had slowed down greatly but also had become dangerous.

"I guess Karma does exist huh." Wu Shang mumbled. "I raised all you demons. I'm your creator, and yet I'm being attacked by you all. It must be karma. All those women I subjected to endless torture, forcing them to breed with you…" Wu Shang shook his head feeling some pity.

"Well regardless…" Wu Shang gripped his staff tightly. "I will force my way out of any predicament. Karma or not, nothing will stop me!"

--------------

On a strange ground which was continuously absorbing energy, Plant King fell to his knees. His abdomen had been sliced cleanly by his opponent. It was a fatal blow. Needless to say, Plant King had been defeated. Now it was all about how much he could prolong his last few breaths.

Swoosh! A silvery flicker leapt at Plant King. He rolled on the ground to dodge. A new cut emerged on his left shoulder and spurted out blood as his veins were cut.

"… Relying solely on my constitution…" Plant King thought. "I have truly been overconfident. I overpowered all my enemies and escaped and survived due to my unique constitution. I never bothered to learn other techniques because I simply didn't need to. That is not the way of a warrior. Since when I stray off from my path?"

Swoosh! Another slivery flicker leapt at Plant King and he rolled again. A cut appeared on his cheek and started to bleed. But Plant King smiled and started to get up on his feet. His knees were quaking, his sword was shaking. He had lost substantial amount of blood and was inflicted several injuries. He simply couldn't continue to battle for long.

"Even if it's this way, I should go down like a warrior." Plant King said smiling at his faceless warrior & raised his sword towards him. "Come, I'll give you, my best!"

Swoosh! His body moved forward in a speedy blur and a silvery flicker emerged, leaping at his opponent.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Metallic sounds echoed as the two tangled in a fierce fight!

-------------

Lan was barely breathing now that she had been showered with countless thunderbolts. Her skin had intense burns and her hair had turned to ash. She looked terrible and was nearing her end.

"Is this where I die?" Lan thought. "But I haven't even lived…" A sad smile rolled on her lips.

Krooom!!! A thunderbolt struck at her again. Lan didn't even have the strength left to scream. But something inside her was sparked at this moment.

"I haven't lived. I haven't even lived!" Lan yelled in her mind. "Spending first decade in the fear of unknown, living in an insulting suffocating environment in my family; that is how my childhood was. Then master found me and turned my life around. I became stronger, I became a cultivator but I still allowed myself to be pushed around and be used by others. I have not known respect nor honor. I have not experienced true love, true happiness… I have not lived at all!"

Kroom!! Another thunderbolt struck her. She had no access to any shield or equipment to defend herself. She only had her mortal body which was still fragile despite her cultivation base and her unique earth element constitution.

"Earth element constitution!" suddenly Lan exclaimed in her mind. She had barely scratched the surface of her constitution's perks. Learning the earthworm technique was merely a start. She knew there was much more to it. She could only count on exploring her constitution before the thunderbolts kill her.

Lan mustered all the strength she could and with a trembling body, she sat cross legged and started to focus on her chi flow. Her body was injured but her meridians were still unaffected.

Kroom!! Another thunderbolt struck her head, making her dizzy as she barely managed to stay conscious. Blood trickled down her face but she persevered and tried to unravel her constitution.

-----------

Saiyu stumbled and fell on the ground. She was panting heavily. The number of zombies had increased to thousands! They were all an undying force relentlessly attacking her. Saiyu had run out of energy despite her Master realm cultivation. She had been using sword dance technique and her own movement technique continuously. After several hours of battle, she finally reached her limit and fell down tired.

Zombies surrounded her and pinned her down. Punches and kicks landed on her. Some tried to bite her but the armor was robust and protected her. But her head was still uncovered. Saiyu let go of her sword and covered her head with her hands.

Clang! A metallic sound resounded among the growls of zombies. Saiyu's eyes flung open. Her leg piece had been pulled apart!

Clang! Clang! Piece by piece her armor was dismantled by the zombies.

"This! This cannot be happening!" Saiyu screamed in disbelief and struggled against the zombie hoard. She punched some of them, kneed others and swung her sword but they were too many and she had run out of energy & stamina. Soon her armor was all gone. And then her clothes were ripped apart too. The zombies pushed on her and bit her soft skin, trying to devour her alive.

"Ahhh!!!" Saiyu screamed loudly but it couldn't help evade her predicament. She was pinned down again and her sword had fell somewhere. Teeth sunk into her skin, ripping it off as the zombies began eating her. At the same time Saiyu felt a penis shoving into her vagina. She was being raped and eaten alive at the same time and had no energy to save herself.

Countless hands groped her body and scratched her skin bloody. Zombies were biting her ruthlessly and chewing her flesh already. Her screams got muffled in their growls.

"Why? Why did it come to this?" Saiyu wondered. "What did I do wrong? Even though I lived as a rogue for a while, I never killed anyone, & I never bullied the weak. I was just trying to survive. My family was massacred, Me and Anasta had to run around everywhere. This isn't fair. Just now, I wanted to take revenge for what was done to us in the past. I totally could do it. But why aren't these people dying? What is going on?!" Her eyes suddenly opened wide as a jaw bit her throat, delivering a fatal wound.

---------------

Meanwhile in a compact corridor, Xiao was sobbing. She had been thoroughly overpowered and beaten ruthlessly by Deodomus. But he didn't kill her. Instead, he ripped her clothes apart and then shoved his massive penis deep inside her vagina, raping her in a corner. For a long while there were only grunts and sobs that echoed in the corridor. This isn't how Xiao had imagined meeting her husband again. Her heart was more hurt than her body. She was heartbroken.

Deodomus yanked her hair, pulling her backwards, making her back arch as he rammed his penis faster and fucked her ruthlessly. Xiao had a water element constitution which she could use to liquefy her body and easily survive the attacks earlier. But strangely she was unable to use the water element technique she had gained as loot from Ling. Her body was unable to morph and hence she was unable to escape from Deodomus.

"Urk!" Deodomus soon ejaculated inside Xiao. Then he pulled out and turned Xiao over. His penis was still erect. His soulless eyes started at Xiao as he pinned her down, pressing on her big breasts his big hands, groping her tightly and shoved his penis again inside her vagina and started thrusting.

"What… happened to you?" Xiao mumbled as she looked at this savage man in front of her. "You used to be so gentle and kind. You were funny and enthusiastic like a teenager. What did you experience that you turned into this madman?"

Bam! Deodomus punched Xiao's face and grabbed it in his big palm as he fucked her harder, not wanting to hear her words which were seemingly making no sense to him. He was apparently not of sound mind.

"Why is this happening?" Xiao thought hard but couldn't figure things out. She lacked information. How did she end up here, how was Deodomus still alive and yet in such a mad state and why was he hostile? She sighed eventually and smiled.

"Well, it doesn't matter." Xiao murmured. "Things that I've encountered over the years are not light either. I went through horrible hardships in life and still managed to survive. People repeatedly used me until I turned into a whore. But do you think you've defeated me? Do you think you can just fuck me and think you've won? I will not give up. I am unresigned! I will not just roll over in dirt! My life has been hellish since you were gone and is this how you compensate me now?"

Xiao mustered all her strength and pushed away Deodumus' hand and got up, pushing him to his back on the floor. At once Deodomus was taken aback at this sudden burst of strength from Xiao but as she rode on his lap and started grinding her bottom on his penis, bringing him incredible pleasure, he groaned and let his guard down.

Bam! Xiao punched Deodomus on an eye and at the same time started riding on his penis, moving up and down on his thick shaft.

"Grrah!!" Deodomus growled and slapped Xiao, making her body sway. But Xiao retaliated with another punch and in this manner, they started fighting while fucking.

---------------

Bam! Bam! Bam! The stone puppet was pounding Wind with punches and kicks but Wind remained unfazed. He blinked absently.

"I succeeded." Wind uttered. "I mastered the 5th chapter of Perfect Body technique!"

Swoosh, the puppet swung another punch at Wind's face with full power.

Thwok! Wind blocked it with ease. He felt the impact moving from his palm to his shoulder but it didn't hurt him. His skin and his bones were all incredibly tough now!

"Fuck you, stony puppet." Wind cursed and clenched his hand on the puppet's fist. The stone fist cracked and crumbled!

Bam! Wind punched the puppet's head with his free hand and sent him flying. The puppet fell on the rocky ground but got up quickly. It felt no pain. It wasn't alive.

Swoosh! Wind was already in front of it.

Boom! Boom! Bam! Wind unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, breaking off chunks of the puppet's body with each attack. Wind totally overpowered a higher realm opponent with his body alone!

"This…this is incredible!" Wind roared as he punched excitedly. "With two fists, I roam unfettered!" He repeated the lines of 4th chapter of Perfect Body cultivation technique. At this point he realized that he truly had reached a game changing point in terms of cultivation. His body itself was his strongest weapon, and his strongest shield! He could totally roam unfettered in the world!

Crack! The puppet's head was shattered and it fell down unmoving. At the same time Wind felt something inside his dantian. He had obtained a breakthrough in cultivation!

"Level 1 Sage realm!" Wind exclaimed in his mind as he felt a rush of newfound strength and vigor in his body. His mind was very clear, his body felt light and his dantian was producing several times more energy than usual. Wind felt powerful!

At the same time his surroundings morphed and his vision blurred.

-------------

Voom! Voom! Voom! Kree!!

Loud sounds echoed as multiple strategy formations floated in air, attacking the beasts in different ways. Some formations were spewing intense flames, some were shooting out beams of chi, some sprayed acid. The crocodile beasts were screaming and running in fear. They were totally scared.

In the middle of a defensive strategy Aerin was sitting cross legged. She focused and controlled these attack type strategies. Activating multiple formations at the same time and even making them air-borne! This was an unprecedented achievement! Aerin had really broken out of the norm and created a strategy killer move! These strategies were low level and fragile if attacked but their simplicity allowed Aerin to modify them and she turned them from stationary to movable! She was a complete genius. Within minutes, the beasts had all run away or died. Many of them were severely wounded. Aerin exhaled a turbid breath and stopped using the attack formation. One by one they fell on the water and were then summoned back into Aerin's ring. Suddenly lights flashed in her eyes obscuring her surrounding from sight.

-------------

"Ohok! Ohok!" Wu Shang coughed out mouthfuls of blood. He was badly injured. There were wounds all over his body. He was tired and had barely any energy left. He had used all the techniques he knew and consumed all sorts of medicines to aid him in this battle. The result was- he won. In the dark space, there was perpetual darkness. Tens of thousands of demon corpses were floating around in pieces.

Wu Shang's face was pale. Even though he won, he felt no happiness or relief.

"Strange. I don't feel like myself." Wu Shang thought. "This fight…it seems to have awoken me from a long trance. When did I turn into this cold-hearted demon king? What led me here?" He looked at his bloodied hands. "If I had perished today, it'd have been due to my own karma. But since I survived, doesn't it mean all my effort in raising a demon army was for naught? Heh." He smiled merely and sighed.

"How blinded have I been…" Wu Shang muttered. "Karisa…Eun… could you ever forgive me? I think not." He sighed gazing into the darkness. "Meaningless…everything I've been doing is so meaningless. At the very least I should heal these girls and free them."

Wu Shang suddenly remembered how it all had started. It was his own lust that broke Karisa's mind. Then to heal her he started off on a quest to learn the healing aspect of Chaos technique. But eventually it only became a casual task he wanted to do in the passing. His focus had changed from healing Karisa to raising a demon army and becoming super powerful. Now he was powerful enough to single handedly annihilate the demon army that none of his opponents could beat. But what was the point in it? Wu Shang reminisced his old self at once. He was once an eager person, wanting to unravel the secrets of medical science. Wanting to heal incurable illnesses, no matter what it takes. He became a dark doctor. But then things started to subtly get muddy. He started tricking people for small profits and even forced himself on several women including Xiao. Although he fell in love with her, how much of this love was real? Even if he humbled himself for this woman, how much love did she give him back? & even when she did, Wu Shang basically butchered her and did unspeakable things to her. Something was wrong with his head!

Wu Shang was at sage realm now. At this realm, people would become clear minded and barely any drugs would work on them for long. Thus, now that he started pondering and self-reflecting, many realities were revealed to him. Suddenly he noticed a speck of light at a distance. It was growing bigger by the seconds and soon spread through the entire space, obscuring Wu Shang's figure in the light entirely.

------------

Clang! Clang! Two men were fighting speedily. Plant King and a faceless man. They used the same technique but Plant King was increasingly gaining control of the fight. He no longer defended, but attacked fearlessly instead. He was feeling excited! The scent of blood, the rush of a fight, fighting to the bitter end…this is how a cultivator at initial realms would feel. Pushing themselves beyond ordinary, testing their limits, turning into warrior! Plant King roared and swung his sword fiercely. A slivery flicker ended the life of his faceless opponent as his head rolled on the ground.

Plant King panted heavily but smiled at the same time. He no longer cared to look at his injuries which were lethal. Matter of fact, all his vital organ had been ruptured and sliced. He should have died hours ago but he was still standing. This was all due to the true battle spirit of a warrior. Slowly he felt a rush of familiar wood element energy in his body. His wounds healed quickly and suddenly his surroundings morphed.

----------------

Kroom! Kroom! A lightning storm was at its peak and assaulted Lan with numerous thunderbolts. Her skin was completely burnt off by now and she was being roasted alive by the lightning. But her heart was firm like steel. She stayed cross legged. Her mind was deep in meditative state as she felt through each strain of earth element inside her body. She experienced their creation in her dantian, she studied their flow, the way they mixed with her yin chi and provided her several perks. Yes, she could feel her earth element energy again! It had been unresponsive when she had been teleported to this strange place but now, she had unlocked it mysteriously. She could use the earthworm technique and escape the lightning storm but she didn't. Instead, she realized that she could tune her body. Earth contained numerous metals, minerals and anyone with earth element constitution could mimic the nature of earth's constituents.

Soon a new layer of skin grew on Lan's body. It had a strange texture to it as Lan was mimicking a unique stone found deep underground. It had insulating nature.

Kroom!!! Lighting struck her once again but no longer inflicted any damage.

The clouds roared for a while longer before the lightning storm ended. Lan slowly opened her eyes as the thunderclouds in the sky dissipated and sunlight shone upon her body. Soon she disappeared under the light.

"Truly pathetic." A coarse voice echoed in Saiyu's ears. She was shaken up. She was still currently being raped and eaten alive, unable to fight. But suddenly all the zombies disappeared.

Saiyu blinked her eyes and looked around. The ruin of a castle no longer was there. It wasn't raining either. She was in the middle of a white hall instead. Her body was unhurt and the shining knight armor was still clung onto her body intact. Saiyu was surprised.

"What's going on?" She mumbled.

"Someone who cannot even differentiate between illusion and reality is truly pathetic." The same hoarse sound echoed in the hall that Saiyu had heard before.

"Who are you? Where are you?" Saiyu asked with a frown.

Suddenly a woman appeared out of nowhere. She was rather old in her 70s. She was tall and petite but had a big bust, though saggy. Draped in a white gown, adored with a white crown, she looked like a queen. Saiyu immediately scrutinized her but couldn't gauge her cultivation base.

"I'm the formation spirit." This old woman said, looking down at Saiyu from her high floor. "You are the worst cultivator I've ever seen. You're so simple minded that you let your emotions take control of you and that turned the illusion test more realistic than what was needed."

"Formation spirit? Illusion? Test?" Saiyu repeated.

The old woman sighed and floated down. "I will clear things to you in a bit. Let's go meet the others first."

As she said so, the white hall shone with bright light enveloping both Saiyu and the formation spirit in the light.

"Urrrkk…" A defeated Deodomus groaned as he ejaculated inside Xiao's vagina. Xiao had sucked out his entire vigor and yang chi, rendering him unable to even move. Apparently, Xiao was still able to use dual cultivation techniques as those involved usage of chi and had no offensive or defensive ability but Xiao's Succubus' grip was an exception. Who could have thought that she would defeat Deodomus by simply fucking with him? Then again, she had even killed Sage realm warriors through this technique.

Xiao panted with a flushed face. She looked down at Deodomus with a cold glint in her eyes. The man whom she had once loved was now a mindless monster. Xiao felt complicated. She had been fighting Deodomus with all her strength but in the end it was love-making that helped her defeat him. She felt relieved, glad and complex as it had been ages since she had mated with her husband. Sighing she crouched down and kissed Deodomus as though forgiving him for everything. He was alive and finally in her reach. She didn't care about anything else. Her heart was overflowing with love and sorrow both. Tears flowed down her eyes as she kissed her husband lovingly.

Unnoticed by her, the corridor had already disappeared and now she was out in the open. There was green grass underneath her and Deodomus.

"Ehem." Plant King cleared his throat, gaining Xiao's attention. She turned and discovered that everyone was staring at her.

Wind's group had reassembled. They had all been teleported back to the same spot where they were previously separated by a magical force. Currently they were all clothed and filled with energy. Xiao was the only one naked and filled with a man's semen.

"..." Xiao ignored them after a glance and crouched down at Deodomus, kissing him passionately. Her big hips were out in the open for everyone to see and adore while she got passionate with her husband.

"Anyway…" Wind muttered. Xiao's shameless actions no longer shocked anyone. Wind looked at the formation spirit instead, who was hovering in front of them grandly. They had all been teleported here one by one. Wind was the first to arrive.

"I've never heard of a formation spirit before." Wind said. "Tell us about you."

"Was it you who sent us to separate planes?" Plant King asked.

"Yes, it was I." The old woman said. "My name is Hyun Jung. I am this huge formation's spirit. I've been testing you all for all your worth. The treasures of this formation are not for the unworthy after all. I tested you through illusions and some real threats. You've all gained from the tests alone, haven't you?"

"Ah, yes, I gained a lot…of pain." Wind said sarcastically.

"I was chomped up by crocodile beasts." Aerin sobbed.

"I fought a fucking army of Master realm demon beasts." Wu Shang growled.

"I was burnt alive by thunderbolts." Lan shivered.

"I was raped and eaten alive by zombies." Saiyu mumbled.

Then everyone looked at Xiao to hear her part but she was too busy having a round two with Deodomus who groaned underneath her.

"Wu Shang, you got demons, right?" Wind asked.

"Yes." Wu Shang nodded. When he had returned to this spot, he realized that he was previously in an illusion. All the tens of thousands of demons were still alive inside his spatial ring, procreating with the nuns continuously.

"Make them fuck this woman." Wind pointed a finger towards the formation spirit.

"I was thinking the same." Wu Shang growled as he glared at the formation spirit.

"Wait, what? H-hold on!" Formation spirit cried out before dozens of demons surrounded her.

Bam! She was struck down on the ground and the demons lunged at her, ripping her clothes to shred and started raping her immediately. Loud hoarse screams of the formation spirit echoed in the area as everyone watched without pity.

"Master, I was so worried I wouldn't get to meet you again." Aerin said sobbing as she clung to Wind's arm.

Wind smiled and patted her. "There-there, you're alright." He said. "But why are you clothed and not hugging my leg instead?"

"..."

Soon Aerin was butt naked and hugging Wind's leg erotically. She sandwiched his leg between her huge soft breasts and moved up and down, looking at him furtively. Wind chuckled and patted her again.

"Let us all camp here and rest for a while." Wind said to everyone. "We've all been through hellish experiences for sure. & the cause of it all is now under control." He meant the formation spirit.

"I agree." Wu Shang concurred and looked around for a certain someone.

"Where is the knight?" Plant King beat Wu Shang in asking this question first.

Hei was not around! Everyone glanced at the formation spirit who was being ruthlessly fucked around. There were thick penises shoved deep into her petite body through her holes as the demons fucked her savagely.

"I'm sure he's fine. Let's ask this old bitch once she's done taking her punishment." Wind said. Hei was very resourceful and had all sorts of tricks up his sleeves. He was also a knight with a strong mentality. It was unlikely that he would be suffering much.

"I'm beat. Let's rest." Saiyu muttered & sat down on the green grass.

Soon everyone was lying on the grass here and there. Aerin had set up a defensive formation. They all rested, ignoring the faint screams of the formation spirit coming from outside & Xiao's moans as she moved her big round milfy hips on Deodomus' rock hard penis and clapped her ass on his crotch, celebrating her reunion with her husband.
