《Godly Genius》


 -5 the legendary Genius

    The universe contained many mysteries. Life is one of it. Even after so many years of development of the human race, it never achived true imortality. Science wasn''t capable enough. The beginning of the human race stared in a dark corner of the milky way galaxy. On one of it''s spirals filled with endless stars, an explosion of a supernova star gave birth to solar system. The Holy birth place of humanity. With humanity came science and technology. Humans weren''t most powerful creatures on Earth but they were the smartest.


    Humanity started with Stone age. With advancement in weapon technology came the era of the cold weapons and then came thermal weapons. Whenever humanity progressed into a new age, it was always thanks to advancement in their weapons. A steel sword can break a wooden axe and a gun can kill thousands of sword weilders from long distance. Then came the era of nuclear weapons and humanity came into possession of weapons of mass destruction. The next leap in the weapon technology made by humans were fusion bomb. These boms developed based on fusion reactors were made to destroy astoroids. Whenever humanity made advancement, it''s previous weapons looked like toys in front of near weapons.


    With fusion technology came the era of solar system conquest. The energy from fusion paved the way for humanity to become a multi planet civilization. After hundreds of years humanity again developed even more powerful fusion drive and utilized the energy of fusion to travel at super speed , after that when the population of all of the planets were on the rise, humanity got control of most distant dwarf planets and kuiper belt. They were now going towerds age of space exploration. It took much time for humanity to break through the prison which was solar system.


    Because of upgrade and evolution in AI technology, humans in cryogenic ships were sent to other stars and suitable habitable planets. Humans soon in few centuries spread into this single part for he galaxy spiral. The oldest of the civilizations of aliens came into contact of humanity, humans never stopped. The thirst for curiosity and power was never quenched. War started and humans finally used weapons of mass destruction.


    Even god like strength of Deus which were abnormally strong lifeforms couldn''t save them from annihilation by hands of humans. That was the beginning of humanity''s rise to becoming a galactic power. Thousands of alien races faced anahilation and millions other surrendered. After hundreds of years there appeared a genius in human world. His name was Tylog Trouper. He was the inventor of space warp technology, his idea to utilize energy of star to burst open a hole in the space solved many problems and with this discovery , many other civilizations which were out of the reach of humans saw war again.The invention was called space drill and helped humanity to travel around milky way. Humanity became sole ruler of the milky way.


    All of this was credited to Tylog Trouper and soon his son took the stage after 100 years. Lark trouper inherited his father''s memory core and had experience of both his father and his own. Humans were capable of living up to 300 years , that''s why it was trend to produce kids near the age of 100. The memory core was alien technology which can save all of the life experiences of a life form and transfer it to another person. Because of this , he was able to utilize unbelievable resources of whole galaxy and convert energy of a star to open a hole in space and stablize it. He was able to show Einstein''s formula of mass can be converted to energy and utilized many reactors to make even stronger space fabric drill. it was small in size and didn''t need much energy, thus huge warships were equipped with this technology which was later called FTL drive as it was equivalent to travel faster than light. it was beyond fast.


    This was different than his father in a way that his father only gave technology to make a hole in space and jump through it. But he showed the way to make this hole stable and keep it open for long periods of time , he also made the space drill which was made from star power stronger and capable of penetrating the space for longer distance. This once again in only another 100 years broke the prison that was milky way galaxy and led humanity to become an intergalactic civilization.


    After 100 years of the birth of Lark Trouper. His son got memory core of both his father and his grandfather and became third heavenly genius. When he was 16 years old , he developed a star cannon which was able to utilize same concept of using drill to make a hole in galaxy to creat a galactic scaled weapon of mass destruction. By shooting this beam at the center of any galaxy , the black hole at the center would get damaged and the galaxy will collapse. He then at the age of 20 was sent to his private planet which was headquarters of Trouper industrial star sector. This was most garded star sector of humanity prime. Which was ruling power of humans on each and every single galaxy.


    Humanity was able to become intergalactic civilization in just 300 years because of his father and his grandfather''s efforts. The third genius named Ace trouper made another invention which was about to change the the humanity and make it rise to a new peak. It was developed from a prototype micro black hole he made which was enough to extinguish a planet in blink of an eye. He converted this dense mass into energy with his Oblivion Reactors. He concentrated this huge and unimaginable amount of energy into a hair line sized laser and fired it into empty space. The readings he got from the explosion made even the legendary Genius shoked. The data showed that the particle beam even tore apart time fabric and another few space fabrics he didn''t even know about. This was a huge discovery!

 -4 The great escape part 1

    Trouper Star sector, Milky way galaxy.


    In the solar system which was controlled by Ace''s family, There was a planet on which a huge bunker was on red alert. Ace was looking at his screen in shock because on his screen, he was watching a distant space ship which was in space just outside of his solar system. the space ship was running away from a spatial rift.


    this spatial rift, No! it was better to call it Space-Time rift which was formed Because of his experiment. he was really excited because his experiment was successful. he had successfully developed the space time drill.


    Ace looked at his subordinate besides him and ordered him to prepare for the next experiment and as he was too Rich, he didn''t just make one ship of the kind. he always believed that even ifhis experiment was successful or not , having too many samples wasn''t a bad thing. He had two more ships which can make similar kind of spatial rift into space.


    Just as he was going towerds the Space station with his vehicle, a hologram appeared before him , it was his aunt, marline Trouper. She was 80 years old , his father''s sister and was also a genius scientist. she didn''t receive his father and his grandfather''s Memory cores Because her feild of study was different compared to his father and his grandfather. she was researching Quantum technology. she was able to convert energy into mass and had designed a 3D printer that was able to print anything and any meterial with exactly same elements up to atomic level.


    she was able to do that because of her Quantum Nenobots. they would utilize energy to convert it into mass and many more miraculous things which he didn''t pay much attention to. he was solely focused in his father''s and his grandfather''s ideas.


    Marline looked at her nephew and shake her head with frustration " you little bastard! you couldn''t stay quite for a few years? look what you''ve done? now I need to clean up more mess! That hole was near the delta sector and humanity prime now knows that you invented something new. now we have to face even more investigations! they will take all the technology once they lock us down again. "


    she was worried because humanity prime believed that no one should be stronger than them so that they can be strongest. When Tylog trouper turned 100 and had a kid , he was forced hand over all his research and was given a little bit of royalty over his invention as compansation, his son Lark trouper faced the same situation just so that trouper family won''t become too strong.


    Now however she can''t allow same thing to happen again, her father and grandfather we''re already sentenced to death to avoid spreading the technology they invented and now her nephew was going to die at a young age of 20 years. she was determined to save him " Listen to me. you get out of there right now and escape towerds Andromeda galaxy. Just keep blasting holes in space so that you won''t be chased down and once you reach me, I''ll prepare even better ship for you. I''ve sent you the coordinates of my secret base. your life is in danger "


    Ace looked at her with frustration as he also knew story about his father and grandfather. they both died because of greed of humans. he want give his new technology to humanity prime at any cost. Ace directly headed towerds the launching pad where his subordinate had prepared the new spaceship with space drill installed. " I''ll operate it my self " Ace went inside the spaceship as the previous space ship which was still in space was already destroyed because of security reasons and the last cannon which was still on his planet was loaded on his current private war class space ship. his space ship which was named Titanium Dragon was giant red space ship made of many exotic alloys. it was now equipped with his personal lab and two space time drills as he departed with the spaceship from his planet towerds his aunt''s galaxy.


    ........................


    Humanity Prime headquarters


    A council of 100 members was looking at the screen where a man in military uniform was explaining them the experiment results of Ace''s new experiment. this was General Grall Wolfrunner. There were many spies of Humanity prime even in trouper family and Grall received the test data right after Ace performed his experiment. When he looked at the data , he was astonished to find that the kid was able to develop a particle beam that was able to blast open a path into multiverse. Ace didn''t know that he didn''t just destroy space-time fabric of his own universe but also of other parallel universes.


    When this discovery was made , General Grall was so excited that his hands were shaking as it signified a new place for humanity to conquer. he was general for last 300 years and he fought many wars where he destroyed many planets and civilizations. Now he developed a deep sense of longing towerds that life as he didn''t like the peaceful life that humans were living.


    By calling the meeting of Humanity Prime''s 100 assemble masters , he wanted to capture that kid and take the technology from him and at same time kill him so that he can destroy trouper family which was threatening existence for humanity prime.


    in short time of an hour after the explaination Assembly masters agreed simply because universe was running out of resources as humanity progressed and they needed more resources then any other race. the population issue was so dangerous that on every single planet humanity occupied, population reached a whole new level.


    " General Grall...you are approved to take the war ships and track that kid down. we need this technology and make sure to keep that kid''s mouth shut. we don''t need much trouble "


    " yeah. that kid is really smart, maybe we can preserve his memory core and make him work for us? "


    " No! trouper family would declare war on us. we can only kill him discreetly like we killed his father and grandfather. I am sure he would have trackers on his body and cells which will lead trouper family to us if we kidnapped him "


    " it''s a pity then...kill him"


    all the assembly master then agreed to kill Ace as general Grall bowed and left the assembly room.


    ........................


    Ace was done analyzing the results in his space ship about the data collected from the space time drill. he found out that the new drill had broken six barriers but he only knew about a single space barrier. " the other barriers must be time or other dimensions related barriers....there fabrics...wait! " he suddenly got a signal from the memory core from his grandfather''s. the data hinted at existence of multiverse. he analyzed the data from his grandfather''s Memory and the data collected from experiment as he confirmed that he had opened path to multiverse.


    Ace finally knew why his grandfather and father died as if they created this drill and blast open a hole in multiverse then trouper family would posses unlimited resources and humanity prime won''t be able to execute it''s control over his family.


    He pulled a lever and said goodbye to his home planet in trouper star sector. it was his home and he grew up here , he would leave towerds his aunt''s galaxy and take her with him to the multiverse. he was determined to develop his own force in another universe and return to take revenge with humanity prime.

 -3 The grand escape part 2

    Titanium Dragon was moving towerds space to enter the spatial tunnel. Ace was operating the cannon which was designed by his father to drill the space so far that he can even jump across several galaxies. it was the best space drilling Cannon available as one of the reasons the humanity prime wasn''t able to hurt trouper family was because they were sole manufacturer of space drills.


    Red beam of energy was being thrown into space where there was a tunnel so wide that a whole space ship can pass through it, it looked like as if someone had made a hole in a sheet of metal with a high temp plaza cutter. the space around the rift was red because of high temperature while constantly being burned with more energy being poured into the tunnel.


    Ace was confident that he could leave before the warships of the humanity prime arrived just because of this space drill. Titanium Dragon entered the tunnel while still constantly firing the cannon and as soon as the ship entered the tunnel, the space began to close it self. Hole began to close as the space returned to normal as if the spatial tunnel didn''t even exist in the first place.


    the space inside the spatial tunnel was special space where short distance travelled was equivalent to long distance travelled in normal space , Titanium Dragon''s speed was really fast and in two days it arrived at it''s destination. Ace slow down the space ship as all the space around titanium dragon was collapsing towerds the ship which forcefully threw the ship into real world. one of the reason why ships needed to be strong enough was because there was no way to get outside of the spatial space unless the ship absorbed the impact of the forcefully being thrown out of the spatial space. Ace was put inside a spacial biopod so that his body won''t be harmed while traveling in such a dangerous Condition.


    Ace woke up with the sound of AI of the ship telling him that he had reached his destination. he looked at the blue holographic screen as the system showed no sign of hostile ships nearby and he was already near his aunt''s planet. His father''s Gift was truly amazing. " that was fast.....those old man...tch, they know their stuff....haha " he was in good mood as everytime he met his aunt he felt warm inside as his aunt was his only family left who really cared about him.


    The space ship landed near a huge building which was like a mechanical arm and the arm like building grabbed the spaceship as if lifting a toy sending it towards a nearby building which was like a business tower but was also guarded like a bunker. exit hatch of the space ship was directly attached with tower''s top floor as Ace didn''t have to walk all the way to tower after getting out of the space ship and was able to enter straight into her aunt''s office.


    Ace entered through the door and he saw a fully mechanical lady sitting on the office chair. she looked like a doll and was very beautiful. her aunt was also an expert in bio modifications and was said to be closest to achiving a non-human lifestyle. she had changed most of the body parts in her body from cellular level except for her heart , brain and reproductive parts. Although she did made some modifications to her brain, Ace didn''t know how much she had modified her brain.


    As soon as Ace entered the room, Merline looked at him with a sweet smile " Nephew, Long time no see. " she missed him because to her , he was also her only family and she had promised his father that she would protect him. She looked at this 20 years Old boy who was ignorant towerds science and liked to read useless novels all day long.


    It was a secret that even Ace himself didn''t knew. Ace was raised in slums secretly to protect him from their rival groups and was influenced by lifestyle of slums. later he was introduced as successor of trouper star sector and was given both her brother''s and her father''s memory core. he wasn''t as intelligent before but she was the one that made some modifications to his brain and inserted memory of the knowledge related to his father and his grandfather''s research.


    Ace was then inserted a special program which made him more interested towerds the technology rather than novels, this was just so that trouper family''s next generation won''t be incompetent. But they didn''t know that Ace was an innate genius just like his father and grandfather. As soon as his attention was diverted towerds technology, he made inventions after inventions and shoked the universe.


    Marline got up from her seat and gave him a firm hug before looking at his face while holding rubbing both of his cheek " You''ve grown a little chubby since last time....are you neglecting your health? I am sorry but I can''t let you stay here, Humanity Prime''s ships Will be here soon and they would at most take double the time to arrive here so you have two days to prepare. you need to escape again and get out of the reach of those bastards! I will take my own fleet and stop them " she smiled at him and kissed him on his forehead.


    Ace felt warmth inside his heart as he looked at her " don''t worry....two days are enough for me , I can perfect the new drill in two days and open a portal to a new universe and we can escape into it....would you come with me? "


    Hearing this Merline shook her head as she looked at her with exhausted eyes " you don''t know about the State of this universe since you are such a young boy. no one would share this information with you, but I''ll tell you today, why humanity prime is so much eager to have this drill. " she then projected a map of nearby galaxies on the holographic screen in her office.


    the map was showing a galaxy cluster in a dark and empty patch of darkness. Merline looked at him and said " we taught the future generations that universe is endless and there are unlimited amount of galaxies in the universe. that is true but look here....only our galaxy cluster is there in the entire observable universe and all the galaxies are starting to get away from each other. After few thousand years , humanity will be finished. it''s like we are on an island and all the other islands are already out of reach, as the time passes , our own island on which we live onis running out of resources."


    hearing this sudden downpour of information made Ace shocked a little. He knew that this would happen sooner or later and the real reason his father and grandfather died definitely had something to do with this phenomenon. His grandfather was able to predict that there are multiverse, and he also knew that someone would open up a path to another universe. He didn''t believe that Humanity prime would kill him just because he had invented something new.


    Merline looked at his confused face " I''ll tell you about why your grandfather died. he knew that something like a multiverse travelling technology would be developed. He knew too much and he couldn''t let his Memory core fall into the hands of wrong powers , he knew that universe was ending and Trouper family was key to save humanity from anahilation. he wanted humanity to be free and not under the control of humanity prime , that''s why he killed himself and gave his own memory core to his son "


    Merline touched his forehead as three holographic balls of energy appeared in front of his eyes " the red ball is your grandfather''s memory core. when you reached 20 I was supposed to unlocked the secret knowledge about ending of the universe " as she said that she touched the red ball and it shone in red light as lots of new information about data and proofs of how universe would end appeared in his mind.


    " blue ball is your father''s core , he also got the memory core your grandfather before you but he wasn''t able to solve the puzzle of breaking past the multiverse to enter a new world " she looked at him and smiled " but he was a genius...he was close and at last , you designed the new drill based on his designs. "


    she smiled at him and looked at third ball which was a white ball " this is your memory core, it will store all your data , I''ll now unlock all the sealed data so that you can know the whole truth "


    Ace gained even more information from all the sealed information being released from all three cores as he now knew that his parents and grandparents sacrificed themselves to protect the secret of the End of the Universe. He now knew that he had accomplished the mission which his grandfather had given to his father. He knew that he must leave if wanted to survive, He must enter a new universe to run away from the Humanity prime. He knew that humanity prime was waiting for him to develop the technology and just as he did , they would kill him as soon as possible. they didn''t need a genius, they just needed his technology and they can rebuild it.

 -2 The grand escape part 3

    Ash was looking at his Spaceship getting upgraded from the tower. he was in his aunt''s office and controlling the procedure of perfecting the space drill.


    He was almost done and it was about time when the warships of humanity prime would be near their galaxy, they would first appear in outer parameters of Andromeda and scan the galaxy for him. He was inserted with lots of tracking devices which were directly inserted in his blood so that he won''t be able to remove it, his aunt was able to remove it but as long as they stay in the universe, humanity prime would never allow it. His aunt said she can remove it for him as he was going to escape but he refused " I don''t this their tracking devices would work after I jump into multiverse. they won''t be able track me, let them come! "


    Ace was now a different person, his original personality which loved fantasy novels and heros was also mixed within him. For him, this escape was like going on a new adventure. Ace controlled the mechanical arm and as he was picking up a black box which was last component of his ship, a huge shockwave was felt throughout the planet as all the red lights in her aunt''s office started flashing.


    Merline ran into his room and shouted " They are her! let''s go! " Ace looked at the black box he was about to attach to his space ship as smirked and put it down as he pulled away all the machines from his spaceship.


    Merline looked at screen on her hand as she was running with him as the screen showed massive space tunnels appears one after another just outside the solar system of her planet. " That idiot! it''s general Grall! The humanity prime is using him to kill us! " as soon as she finished speaking, the central space ship in the fleet which was first to reach the solar system fired a beam of plasma towerds her planet.


    Grall was looking at the screen which showed Ace''s space ship on the planet " kill each and every single living being on the planet! we only need that space ship! ". All of the other Spaceships also aimed at the planet and fired a shower of plasma beams. it wasn''t that they didn''t have better weapons, they can grind the planet into dust if they wanted , but that way they would lose the Titanium Dragon.


    " Ace you need to go now! " Merline said as she pressed some icons on her holographic screen and the huge mechanical arm lifted Titanium dragon and position it near the exit of the Tower''s top floor.


    Ace looked at the entery port of his space ship " Wait! there is glass in between! that''s Norton Glass! stop! we can''t.." he was about that to say that the glass was made to stop the plasma beams but Merline suddenly transformed into a suit and wrapped around his body, she controlled his body like an exo suit and broke the glass , she directly jumped inside the titanium dragon.


    " Aunt! you are awesome! you can even transform...wait, You were able to fully become a robot? " he was shocked as no human was able to achieve this before his aunt." yes, but I would die soon. this body is too strong for my consciousness. I''ll become an AI soon. without feelings. that''s why I will give you my memory core when you are successful in escaping." Merline was ready to give her nephew a last departing gift which was her memory core and her exo suit. " Now that I am on my Own spaceship, I will show you something special, those idiots would soon know the real meaning of horror "


    Ace pressed a blue shining button on his ships and it started it''s operation, the AI controlling this ship was called ''Alice'' it was installed into his ship from the best AI manufacturing company named Voxitron. Ace gave them some his toys for this State of the art AI which was able to process Data related to space fabrics and space tunnels in few seconds which was impressive.


    Ace went through DNA scan as Alice recognized him and talked to him in sweet female voice " Welcome master. having trouble? want me to take out cockroach extinguisher? " Merline laughed at her speech " what is this? you changed the AI? "


    Ace nod in approval " yes, those idiots think that they would leave secret codes and bugs hidden in this AI so that they can steal my technology. but I reverse hacked and got all the information about the AI, I then modified it to my liking. " he looked at Alice and said " Alice, I think we should leave them for latter , let''s first get out of here, as fast as possible and also give me some juice please. " he walked inside his bedroom on the ship as because of AI , he was able to control the ship from anywhere on the ship. Merline who was wrapped around his body started inserting her memory core into his brain and after few minutes it took for spaceship to escape the planet, she completed the transfer. she was now an empty exo suit.


    Ace was sad looked at screen in front of him " General Grall, Humanity prime...so you guys are sending your entire fleet after me huh?, I''ll show you what a single trouper can do...." he pressed some buttons and called up Alice " Master you need anything? some cockroaches are chasing us! I don''t like them at all, can I kill them? please? " Ace smiled as he looked at the spaceships following him " No, they won''t even know how they died, just aim the new Space-Time drill towerds them and fire at full capacity "


    " But master, if we fire at full capacity then even I won''t be able to calculate what kind of space we would reach and you didn''t even install the navigation module! How am I supposed to find out our exact destination? " Ace finally remembered that black box as he didn''t install it because it was too huge and would take half an hour to install. " so it was for Navigation? you mean we won''t be able to find out where we would reach after we open the multiverse gate? "


    " yes Master , I''ll be able to predict roughly but if you want to accurately judge how many fabrics you broke into space , you need that thing " Ace though about it for some time but his eyes lit up as he looked at screen " forget it! what''s the use if we know the destination? the real adventure is to explore the unknown! "Alice was busy aiming the Drill which shaped like a huge cannon towerds the fleet " Master you are insane, you would get us both killed " Ace laughed as he looked at the screen " you aren''t alive sweetie, now a single cannon won''t be able to kill these cockroaches, so aim both of them at full power, dry up the reactors! "


    Alice did as he said and both cannon were now aiming towerds the fleet. General Grall upon watching this started sweating" He is trying to fire that thing in the middle of the fleet! shot him! destroy him before he can fire! " The mission was to capture the ship without damaging it but because their lives were in danger , they didn''t have any choice but to destroy the ship. It was just that they were a little bit late and even before their cannons can hear up, In the core of titanium dragon, a black hole was produced and destroyed constantly by Oblivion reactors , black holes were produced with the help of special matter which was hard to carry in spaceship as half of the spaceship''s thrust force would be wasted on dragging this heavy mass across the galaxies , now Ace didn''t need this extra burden as he decided to convert all this mass into blackholes and convert them into energy, His space drill fired two beam of multicolored light which was so bright that it even lit up the solar system''s darkest parts.

 -1 Where am I?

    There was blinding light in solar system as even the darkest corners of solar system lit up with bright light as two lasers which all their power intersected just in the middle of the fleet , there with a huge explosion , beams drilled into space.


    There came a sweet voice of Alice " master, reactors are working at 100% power, we can maintain it for 10 seconds and approximately we would destroy 100 to 110 space and time fabrics by the time our energy runs out. " Ace looked at statistics as he smiled " just as expected, how many ships survived? " he looked at huge hole which was devouring the spaceships " Master , only two spaceship were out of the attack area and survived, 15 are having hull fractures and 46 spaceships became melted liquid metal. other 127 spaceships which were in direct center are missing."


    Ace was startled as he looked at her " did anyone went into a different multiverse? " he was concerned as he didn''t want general Grall and his men to chase after him. " Don''t worry master , my reading shows that to survive the forceful eject of this multiverse space , spaceship need to be extremely strong. if those warships face that kind of stress, they will be squished into metal balls" Ace smirked as he looked at huge space tunnel which looked like gateway to hell in the space " Master, this space is highly unstable, the modification you made can only keep it stable for next two minutes. we should enter now "


    " Yes , start the engines , we are leaving this Universe "


    Titanium dragon''s engines were activated and without load of blackhole fuel it was able to travel at even faster speed. It was as if whole ship came alive and was radiating an intimidating aura of a real dragon. The ship soon disappeared into the multicolored tunnel in the space.


    Ace was about to go towerds his bio pod so that he won''t be hurt when the ship was ejected from the tunnel but soon Alice''s panicked voice was heard into the space ship " life signature detected, one of the ship survived. it is the prime warclass ships wolfrunner! "


    Ace was shocked as this ship belong to Grall wolfrunner and he shouldn''t have a strong enough ship which can withstand the explosion of two space drills. This ship survived unexpectedly and this mean he was in trouble.


    Grall was looking at the incoming ship with hatred as at the last moment when the energy beam was about to hit the ship , he had activated his own space drill which was a normal drill to blast a hole in space just before the beam hit him, but as soon as he entered the spatial space, he saw that the tunnel in which he was, was being warped like someome was twisting a cloth to squeeze water out of it and his ship was ejected by unimaginable amount of energy drilling through space time fabrics.


    His ships took less damage as he was in alternative space but still each and every single human on his ship except for him died. he was alive because he had undergone transplant which made his body as strong as Deus aliens which were said to have strongest bodies.


    Grall looked at statistics of his body and he had multiple fractures in his body despite being so strong and he wanted nothing but to kill this kid who made him so miserable. he was going to die for sure but he would drag this kid along with him.


    His eyes shone with ruthlessness as he spoke with hatred in his eyes " Initiate the Meltdown of the reactors, bypass all the authority. Initiate protocol 2..5..6..8..and self destruct the ship."


    Alice was about to scan the ship when she suddenly said in panicked voice again " Target ship is radiating abnormally high radiation, reactors meltdown, Ship''s Space cannons are charged up to 256% capacity! Master quickly go into your biopod! That ship is going to self destruct! " Ace''s face was dark as he started running towerds the bio pod but as he was a few meters away from the pod, a huge explosion shook his whole space ship


    " Space time tunnel is getting unstable, enginee damaged, hull damaged, reactors damaged, space drill 1 damaged, space drill 2 partially damaged, thrusters damaged, sealing the air leakages, all the critical areas are locked down " Ace was thrown around because of blast like a doll but his exo suit suddenly became active and tiny thrusters on the suit pulled his body towerds as pod close down with him in it.


    Ace looked at damage through the screen of the pod " Alice , can we make it!? "


    " Master, the tunnel space has become unstable and now I don''t know how many fabrics that explosion disturbed, our ship won''t be able to take the impact of unstable space like this, chances of survival are 34%, our survival depends on what kind of universe we enter. "


    ............


    In a completely different universe, a huge explosion took place as a massive ship which was twisted beyond recognization like someone took the ship and forcefully twisted the ship from each and every angle came out , this was titanium dragon and because of huge pressure on the outer hull of the ship, Despite being so strong, Ship was twisted so much that all the engines and outer parts of the ship were damaged.


    Ace was still sleeping in his pod as the inner area where he was locked which was his private lap was safe and was damaged the least because of the impact. his pod was also about to shut down and Nenobots were constantly worked on it to repair it. Ace woke up and looked at the holographic image of the ship. It looked nothing like a dragon now and was broken beyond repair. He won''t be able to repair the ship in short amount of time but he was sure that he would find a way to fix the ship.


    " Alice , what''s the situation? give me a report about current situation "


    " Master , we have arrived into an unknown universe. No man-made radiation detected. Human population detected , abnormal space detected. we are right now a flat plane which is spanning across an individual space bubble. This is not a planet master, I can''t even scan some of the areas as my sensors are damaged. The ship is finished as only thing which is working in the ship right now is me and your lab, each and every single component of the ship is deformed and needs to be repaired on molecular scale "


    Ace looked at her report and he was shoked not because of the damage but because of the place he reached " What kind of Universe is this!? You are telling me that there is land on the bottom side of this whole universe and sky in upper corner where all the stars are gathered? what kind of twisted thing is this!? "


    " Master, What you said is correct and one more thing to take note is that the physics of this universe is different from our universe , there is some kind of disturbance that is blocking radiation from passing through. I can''t scan the surface of this planet. "


    Ace looked at the scanned data " so you are saying that we are right now floating in the sky of this huge continent which is endless and which is in an independent space? it''s like a super small scale Universe? right? "


    " Yes Master "


    " Damn! I didn''t expect my adventure to be this abnormal! well looking at the data , all the cargo is ruined so I don''t have food , water or power to keep this ship running, and I don''t even know where the hell am I!?"

 1 A whole new world

    Ace felt a headache coming as not only his ship was utterly destroyed, but all the backup equipment which can be of use in an unknown environment which he prepared for last two days were also destroyed because of pressure from being forcefully ejected from spatial tunnel.


    " Master , I am picking up many strange kind of energy radiation from the surface and they are living organisms highly likely resembling humans and various animals which existed on ancient earth, if we go down then we can solve our food problem. we also need to analyze their language which will be biggest concern for us right now since they can consider us as hostile. By scanning it seems that we are in ancient China, building structure has 67% similarities with those of ancient China. "


    Ace looked at his screen with a frown " Ancient China? wait....could it be? " he suddenly remembered a story where a main character went to cultivation world, stories about dragons, sects and lots of mystical skills went through his mind. " Are you f**cking kidding me!? what the hell!? how can it be even remotely possible!? "


    Ace made Alice scan the surface three time and confirmed that he was just above a village which he was barely able to scan because of lesser disturbance in his signals, he saw photographs and saw that there were indeed many building which resembled the buildings in his world in ancient China period.


    his mind felt like several hundred horses galloped over it.


    " Am I really in a miraculous cultivation world? "


    " Master we should first land in the village but you should make enough preparation before going down to the surface as the gravity is too high, which is at least 20 times higher than ancient earth. "


    " Hmm....20 times!? well my exo suit can handle that much pressure but how am I supposed to explore the world in this sick gravity? "


    " I have a solution master, you can alter your body meterial and make it stronger with bio enhancement."


    Bio enhancement was developed from all the kind of alien blood mixtures where the drugs would continuously strengthen the body cell by cell and normally soldiers used this drug to enhance their bodies so that they can live on high gravity environment like this one.


    Alice again spoke in her sweet voice." with the amount of food which is saved, you can live for another 10 days and then biopod can sustain you with liquid neutrients which will last another 22 days. One month is enough for the bio enhancement drug to completely alter your body master "


    Ace though about it a little and he didn''t want his body to be non human like his aunt and wanted stay human, the drug enhancement was a good way to improve his human body without altering anything in his body. " We will start right now and also, prepare repairing my lab, I am taking it down with me. pack up my lab and arrange some combat bots to protect me when I am down there "


    Ace was busy whole day doing various kind of tests on this planet and found out that there was mysterious kind of energy that should be spritual energy or chi or something of the kind with which people cultivate. his equipment which were working on physical principals of his own universe were working differently in this world.


    the most important thing he found out was that the exo suit which was made from her aunt''s body wasn''t actually related to her aunt at all but was just a temporary Carrier of her mind core, in face even her mind core was just a copy of her original mind core and she may still be alive. he studied the mind core and found out that her aunt had given him two surprises which were a miniature 3D printer which his aunt used and it was in the shape of a spray gun on his right arm and other was a circular disk which was a miniature reactor based on the same model fitted in his space ship, it was also named Oblivion but he decided to name it mini Oblivion reactor because of it''s size.


    this was like sending charcoal in the snow as all the basic facilities on his ship were either destroyed or were unusable. This 3D printer would be used when he needed to build basic structures on the earth and the Oblivion reactor would be able to provide energy required for the 3D printer. This wasn''t all as his exo suit had many basic facilities.


    " This reactor can work for at least 100 years but I doubt that the natives of this planet will be weak, I''ll need powerful weapons and those weapons use so much energy. I would bearly be able to use this reactor for 10 to 5 years" Although it was short time but in 5 to 10 years he would be able to get a footing in this strange place and perhaps he would be so strong that he won''t even need this reactor.


    Ace then checked the information Alice gathered about the village and saw that there were about 158 people in village. the normal people were as strong as Deus from his universe which also lived in high gravity environment of 25 to 30 times the gravity of ancient earth. Humans were only able to develop drugs that strengthen the body to withstand half of the gravity which was also developed from Deus blood.


    " these people would be way more stronger than me even if I undergo drug enhancement, how can they be so strong? " he suddenly remembered the strange energy in environment and reached a conclusion that these people had taken that energy inside them from birth and this miraculous energy was even able to alter their body and strengthen it in magical way that even science couldn''t explain.


    " So my first goal would be to gather as much information about this strange energy, and a method to utilize it." He was determined to slowly but surely conquer this world and become it''s master and to do that, Only relying on science and technology won''t do. he would have to make himself stronger, his only advantage was that he had help of his genius brain and technology which stood at the peak of humanity.


    At night he heard the sweet voice of Alice which he was waiting for " master the bio pod is ready and all the food is loaded into it, you can undergo bio enhancement with drugs now " Ace was excited to enter this new world and Begin to meld into this strange new world. he wanted to explore wonders of this world as well as become strong. His final goal was to conquer this place and at last maybe become immortal. with all these thoughts going through his mid he slowly lay his head down in biopod and all the lights in the space ship went off. His body was freezed in cryogenic liquid , he would wake up after 30 days with the capability to walk on this new planet and set his foot into this new world.

 2 Finally on the surface!

    Ace woke up from his cryogenic sleep after 30 days and he felt his body was still somewhat stiff. he was not used to the drastic increase in his strength and was just getting the hang of it.


    Ace wanted to first get used to this strength but he didn''t have luxury of time as his food was about to run out and his spaceship also didn''t have much energy left. he would leave his ship in space where staying afloat didn''t require any energy, the ship was able to absorb the energy from sun and continue basic operations , in 30 days he had also used up even more energy in his enhancement. Now even if he didn''t want it, he must go to the surface to avoid starving to death.


    Ace looked the map of the surface again and again and memorized each and every part of the village , The biggest building which had four rooms was probably village chief''s house and around that area most of the wealthy people lived in the village. Of course in this village if you were able to go to bed without being hungry was considered wealthy.


    There right animals he was able to successfully identify in the village in which there were cows, dogs, chickens, Ducks, Horses, pigs which were domestic animals and occasionally the village was attacked by bear, wolves and a strange creature which was hybrid between a boar and a pig. Whenever these animals attacked they would cause much problems for villagers and surprisingly the Pigboar was one to cause biggest commotion in the village as whenever it came, it was too fast so that villagers won''t even be able to catch it. It would just run around the farms and eat valuable food of the villagers.


    Ace also found a strange tree near the village which had 10 m area around it where the radiation from his sensors was absorbed. No one from the village went near the tree and he was only able to find out this strange tree because he took the pictures from the camera and tree wasn''t able to absorb light. There was definitely something strange with that abnormal animal and this tree as he put them both in the list of things to be investigated.


    He also found a suitable location to land which was an empty patch of land near the village which 3.6 km away from village. he would land here and then infiltrate the village. He would then give his body time adjust to the gravity for a few days, after getting all the information he can get out of the villagers he would leave the village.


    Ace was double checking the data when Alice''s voice came through the speaks in the ship " Master, Your mech armor Juggernaut is ready and has been upgraded and fused with exo armor from miss Merline''s body. this is completely new armor sir so please name it "


    Ace had many mech armours and three of them were functional after coming to this world which were Crimson Z, War God and Juggernaut. They each had their own speciality, but he choosed Juggernaut because of safety reasons as it was best armor which would provide the strongest protection. He had ordered Alice to equipment from his lab to fuse this armor into his exo suit where he used Nenobots to dismantle whole Juggernaut armor and fit it inside the exo suit so that he won''t have to always walk with huge armor on and he would be able to wear the armor on moments notice.


    He named the armor as '' Juggernaut Prime '' as here when he would change the armor in future with other armor and fuse them with the exo suit, he can simply add prime to their name. Ace''s whole family had this issue with naming things as they would just give most primitive and simple name to things like the cannons which were able to drill the space like lasers were called space drills, and his own spaceship which was made of Titanium alloys was called Titanium Dragon.


    " Alice, commence the Launch program. I''ll now go down to the surface and ....hmm I''ll need you on the surface."


    " master I won''t be able to communicate with you once you are down there as communication will be pretty bad. "


    " This is a problem, I need you down there...any suggestions? "


    " I can give you my Data core to insert into your Memory core so that you can directly talk to me, But that was you would have to assign another AI to support the operations on this ship "


    " Well Select the suitable AI and start the transfer procedure. we don''t have much time. "


    he said as he munched on the last peace of energy bar which was concentrate of neutrients and resource of food in space. He would have to go down no matter what if he didn''t want to starve.


    he sit down near the mainframe computer of the ship and put on a nerve helmet which transferred the AI directly into his brain but as soon as operation was about to start Alice spoke " Warning! Malfunctioning Memory core detected! Request to Eject the memory core! "


    Ace was startled as he wasn''t aware of his memory core being damaged. if his memory core was damaged then he would have to find a new memory core to Save his life progress. The memory core was like an external storage space as human brain''s information stroage capacity was limited and humanity needed bigger brains. The memory core was this external storage space which was like a pendrive and once damaged, you just needed to backup all the data and then insert another pendrive. But he couldn''t do that here! He calmed himself down as this won''t affect his brain and he won''t die but he would have less storage space and that would be inconvenient.


    " Alice what''s the situation? Can we repair it with remaining meterial? and which memory core is damaged? "


    " No master, we can not. your father''s, your aunt''s and your grandfather''s memory core which were from previous generation were damaged so you can not use them now. As your own memory core which was made 20 years ago with latest technology survived and is functioning normally. I can install my data into your memory core. would you like to Eject the other three memory cores? "


    Ace sighed in relief as his own memory core was most important. his father''s and his grandfather''s memory cores were old and he had studied them for 8 years, he remembered everything from those two cores and didn''t them anymore and as for his aunt''s memory core, that was a fake memory core which was a copy so it only had information about how to use the 3D printer and mini Oblivion reactor which he can find out on his own. if he couldn''t even solve that then he would not dare to call himself genius again.


    " Yes you can eject them and store them on the ship, they are the only things left of my family after all."


    ......


    Huiju village


    Two Hunter from the village were walking towerds the Forrest in the morning to look for the trap they set the previous day to see if they caught anything. They were brothers Jin He and Jin Ma. They had a good reputation in town and were strong fighters. They were also part of few of the people in the village who can feed their family everyday and still have good amount of money as savings.


    " Brother, aren''t we going too deep today? I don''t remember setting up a trap here."


    " Idiot, shut up. we are going there so that we can set up trap here. there are more dangerous beasts here and if we don''t take the risk then how will we be able to leave the village? "


    As soon as both brothers reached an opening in the Forrest they saw a scene which stupefied them. this area of the Forrest was totally burned and there was a huge human like monster lying in the center of the plane. they even saw a few beast''s corpses nearby which were either burned or were killed by strange holes in their heads. they were scared but they were also brave, they looked at each other and nodded as they quickly collected the corpses of the beasts from there and ran away from the site.


    Ace opened the hatch to the mechanical pod and came out of the pod, he was already in his Juggernaut Prime armor mode as he would have a little difficulty in walking with his normal mode suit yet. As soon as he was near the surface, the gravity pulled his Lunch pod down and like meteor he crashed in the middle of the Forrest. Pod also had some fixed guns with limited ammo which killed all the nearby beasts that dared to come attack the pod. he also noticed two hunters but decided not to attack them as he didn''t want to leave a bad impression on those villagers.


    He was finally on the surface and now he can finally start his adventure in this new world!

 3 Huiju village

    Ace was sitting on a log of a tree which he '' Accidentally '' uprooted because of monstrous strength. he strangely was compatible with the Deus blood body enhancement drug and his body was able to absorb 78% of the medicine. He can now endure up to 23 G gravity and would be able to walk on this planet even without assistance of his exo suit.


    This change in his physic was also because of that strange power which was assimilated in his body by itself when he was absorbing the Deus blood which to his surprise was a really good conductor of this strange energy omnipresent in this universe.


    This energy was the reason that he didn''t just simply gain strong body but also got monstrous strength. Perhaps the reason why Deus were so strong in his universe was because their compatibility with this strange energy allowed them to absorbed even minor trace of the same energy which was present in his own universe. Unfortunately even if Dues had strong bodies, they weren''t able to absorb required amount of that energy and make their body strong beyond imagination like those cultivator.


    This was a huge windfall for him as when he Tested how much his strength was improved. the results were so scary that even he was trembling from excitement. Only 78% Deus blood made him as strong as strongest Deus on his home planet and maybe slightly more stronger than that! what kind of strength was that? The strongest Deus was known as War God by Humanity and he was the inspiration for War God mech armor. He was said to be able to make dents with only his punches in Juggernaut armor. Juggernaut armor was made meterial named Thorim X56. This was even better than the ship armor used to withstand spatial currents as humanity was able use it in a small mech but it was too costly to utilize it in Whole spaceship. This meant that Ace was now stronger than most of the natives of this planet.


    He had strength but his body was still not as strong as that of strongest dues so he decided to be cautious and keep Juggernaut armor with himself. He was sitting on the log while eating a roasted boar which was deemed as safe to eat by Alice. He was hungry and ate the whole boar because right now his body needed as much nutrients as it can get.


    Ace was not sure whether he should go into the village or not as they would surely find him and his outfit strange, besides all the people here spoke different language and when he scanned he was surprised to find that it was ancient Chinese. Alice had data of this language and she quickly inserted it in his memory core and now his biggest headache which was the communication barriers was removed. Ace also scanned the trees and they were same as on Earth but stronger and sturdier. Animals were same and a single boar contained enough neutrients which was equivalent of five boars on his world.


    ...


    Huiju village


    All the villagers were celebrating as Jin brothers were super lucky today and brought back lots of food for the village from their hunt. their position in the hunting squad was now higher than before and village chief praised them for their bravery. Some villagers even offered their daughters to them for marriage while some were Requesting them train their kids to become hunters.


    In a rural village like this, strong and hard-working people were always considered as important rather than wealthy people. Whole village was like a family and they lived in harmony


    " I''ve seen these two brats grow up and become his strong in the village, they were able to kill five boar, ten wolves and thirty wild chickens in a single day! so strong..."


    " yes yes, old mo, you have a beautiful daughter so why don''t you offer her hand to one of them? "


    " You don''t have to worry about that old jiao! I am still suspicious if they can kill that many beats, after all it''s just two of them so how can they kill so many by themselves? "


    " Don''t fight you two, let''s celebrate and eat, come, come, after last harvest, I was able to make this batch of heavenly nectar! haha drink to your heart content! "


    " Haha shut up old man, it''s just some lousy alcohol! why are you calling it hevenly nectar? "


    " hahahaha...."


    All the elderly were chatting among themselves which sitting around the fire while children were playing nearby and village was in festival like atmosphere.


    After all the food brought back by those two hunters was enough to last the village for a Month! village rarely had such lovely Atmosphere so village chief decided to hold a celebration. This month would pass easyly and they will be able to save food for next month which would then allow them to use the excess food in the time of crisis. this was a huge help to the village as no one asked those two brothers where they got all the food from and everyone was happy.


    Ace was sitting on a nearby tree, observing all of this and he had many ways to blend in with these villagers now, his plan was to hunt some beasts to test his strength and combat ability first and gift those beasts to the villagers, he would then introduce himself as a travelling merchant and earn the currency of this village by offering them beast meat at low price. Even if they didn''t want the beast meat, they would have to buy it because of the prices which he would offer would be so low that even ordinary villagers would be able to buy his meat! he would surely get less money but if he sold meat in large quantity then quantity would make up for the quality. he would have enough money at the end.


    Ace left and was eager to start his work! he walked towerds the area where his pod was as it wasn''t there now because he had sent it 100 meters deep into earth. he would send it even deeper but the soil after 100 meter was too hard and he didn''t want his equipment to be damaged.


    Ace went even deeper and he found out that this Forrest was called Black Boar woods because of high population of Boars. He was walking in the dark but because of night vision in his armor, he was able to see everything as clearly as day. He spotted five boars eating a tiger near a lack! Boars were eating a tiger!? what about food chain!? He felt that this world was just as he imagined it to be as he was now prepared to accept any kind of reality.


    " Alice scan those boars "


    [ Master their body contains that strange energy in higher concentration than the atmosphere, I can''t scan them]


    " Oh?, well fine. let''s start "


    he lifted his hand as the 3D printer on his hand buzzed with life and it sent out various kind of lasers as he inserted a block of tungsten into it and a sword was made from the meterial which was pale yellow color and was shining with silver hue in moonlight. He looked at the strongest boar which few inches bigger then the rest of the boars and started running towerds it.


    [ Initiating Juggernaut prime mode]


    Suddenly tiny hatches opened all over his exo suit and nano bots came out of it which were arranged on his whole body with the help of 3D printer and he now looked like a huge mechanical giant with armor. The armor was Gray in color and gave off a beast like feeling which made hair on the body boars to stand as they all became alert and took formation to charge at him any time


    " they are more intelligent ...this will be fun " Ace stood there and he was exited to have this kid of fight! he didn''t have to fight at all on his home planet as he was always light-years away from any kind of dangers but now he was finally able to let off all the steam he had accumulated while staying in that comfortable environment.


    [ Master, would you like to perform some Martial arts? You look so heroic ]


    " Yes sure, give me some sword moves and don''t insert them directly in my mind, I want to learn by my self. I want to enjoy the feeling of learning "


    Suddenly on his screen there was a guide animation in blur which showed where to move his body and how to swing his sword. By now all the boars were charging towerds him in which the biggest boar was fastest as it was already in front of him while it jumped with intention to directly Pearce him in stomach with it''s Sharp teeth, To Ace''s horror he saw a visible smirk on this boar''s face which was indication of it''s higher intelligence.

 4 Slaughter in Black Boar woods

    What the boar didn''t know that Ace wasn''t as slow as the boar imagined. Ace didn''t have time to look at the movement of the blur and he simply delivered a crude punch to the temple of the boar with his left arm which didn''t have sword. * Boom! *The punch collided and connected perfectly with boar''s Head whole making explosive sound of metal colliding with metal as punch sent the boar flying towerds the tree nearby where because of the impact, tree was uprooted and boar was bleeding from it''s ears. Ace was also shocked as the impact also forced him two step back!


    Ace wasn''t done yet as there were more of the boars coming in which two other reached him just after the first boar was sent flying and this time he decided to follow the animation which was changed after the last attack. Boars jumped at him from both sides in V formation to hit his stomach from both sides as Ace was forced to sidestep while he swung his sword towerds the nearest boar. Sword directly connected with head of boar and went through it like a knife cutting a watermelon as head of boar was split open with that one swing!


    " Good sword! " Ace was delighted with his strength as well as quality of the sword which was made perfectly up to the molecular lever by his 3D printer and didn''t have any kind of impurities. Now the first boar which was sent flying regained back it''s senses as it roared and remaining three of it''s companions went to it''s side. Boar was huffing madly and it''s eyes were bloodshot now. boar also expanded in side and because few inches bigger, it''s fur changed from gray to black.


    " is this some kind of berserk state? so this is why they call the Forrest black boar woods? maybe I need to be careful, Alice keep scanning him and show me if there are any changes "


    [ Atmospheric strange energy is going inside it''s body as faster rate and melting in it''s each and every cell, it''s becoming stronger master ]


    Ace was now more alert as he looked at this black boar, the boar released another roar and rushed towerds Ace at twice the speed from before! Ace didn''t even have time to react as he was hit squarely in the chest and this time he was sent flying which breaking many tree which were behind him. " Tch! Are you taking revenge now you stupid boar! I''ll kill you! " He was about to stand up when boar was running towerds him again as even faster speed while snorting with contempt in it''s eyes.


    " This...are you trying to make me angry!? " Ace was infuriated with this boar which slightly more intelligent as he decided to become serious " You forced me to do this! " He simply stood there while a hatch on his shoulder opened and a plasma gun emerged out of the hatch, gun aimed at the forehead of the boar and fired a high concentration of plasma towerds it. Boar tried to dodge at last time but wasn''t able to and plasma beam directly went into one of it''s eye which made it squeel in pain.


    Boar stopped in it''s track and was horrified by this strange weapon as it snorted once while started escaping from the scene, It''s companions were no exceptions as they also started running away.


    " Do you think you are able to run away pig? " Ace laughed and fired four continues beams of plasma and killed all four of the pigs. this plasma gun was also made by him to be energy efficient and use as little energy from his Oblivion reactor as possible.


    He collected all the five dead bodies in a trolly that he made himself which was easy to make where he only needed to make bearings so that the trolley can move without much effort and he made all the other components with different multipurpose tools installed in his suit. although he was crude at doing manual work but he made a working trolley with available resources. it as enough big to house few tons of animals and was strong enough because of sturdy trees nearby.


    .....


    that day, all kind of boar and pig squeals were heard throughout the Black boar woods and a huge shadow as dragging the trolley full of boars, wolves and other kind of animal bodies towerds Huiju village.


    Ace had changed back into his exo suit and he also made some cloths from few of the boar skins which resembled those of the villagers. he was finally disgaised as travelling merchant. he finally arrived at the entrance of the village as there were two strong man there as guard which were protecting the crudely built gate which had tall wooden walls on both sides.


    He walked towerds them as guards noticed him and one of the guard raised his staff and looked at Ace " This brother, what business do you have in my village? "


    Ace was taught a few things by Alice so he first salute them with his fist and palm together " I am a humble travelling merchant and I am here to sell all this food "


    As soon as guards heard this they became happy and were shocked at the same time.


    one of the guard pointed his spear at him " you! are you really a merchant? why are you carrying all this meat in that strange thing? Merchants would never carry meat like that, don''t you even know that? do you know that faking the identity of a sect''s merchant is really high?"


    Ace knew that something like this would happen as he forced a smile on his face " Brother, my partner stole everything and ran away in the middle of the knights and I was lost so I hunted these beasts and when I found your village , I directly rushed here"


    Both guard were still a little suspicious but they called the village chief and as he took a look at the trolley behind this merchant, he almost had a heart attack! this guy! he said he killed all those beast by himself!? Village chief also saw the sword and knew that this guy wasn''t a merchant as he said to two guards secretly " You two idiots , he is an expert and if he wants to, he can kill you two and enter anyway so don''t give him trouble and let him enter. also stay quite about this. "


    Ace was delighted as he entered the village so smoothly. when village chief saw Ace pulling whole cart full of heavy Bodies of all those beasts with a single hand , even he was scared to death! how strong is this guy!? his body alone is super strong!


    Village chief was mistaken as Ace was using power of his exo suit and Because there were metal bearings in this cart which made movement of the carteasy, he was able to pull it.


    " I am finally inside the village!, let''s see what kind of information I can gather here " Ace was really excited as he already had a clue which showed that an artifact which can store items in different space existed in this Universe. he was determined to find this miraculous thing no matter what!

 5 Gathering Information

    There was a small Room inside village chief''s home which was usually reserved for village chief''s son when he returns from his trip to city, village chief was 63 years old and has only one son which was going to become next village chief. He was out of village because he had some business to take care of and also buy necessary things from nearby town.


    Ace was resting right now as he was exhausted after beating up so many of beasts. he encountered 12 of those Boars who could go berserk and become black but as he was about to enter deeper into the Forrest, Alice warned him that there was a creature there 50 Km away which was radiating abnormal amount of radiation and Ace shouldn''t go that way.


    Ace decided to play it safe and returned with those bodies of ordinary boars because those black boars were too strong for villagers and if he bought them with him, then entering the village would be difficult.


    ...


    Village chief gathered all the villagers and they were discussing about Ace.


    " But we cannot let him stay to long! what if he is wanted by some sect? we would be doomed and whole village would be killed."


    " But he said he is a merchant, maybe he only needs some time to rest and would leave soon, if we can buy meat from him at low cost hen that would save months of labor for our hunters. "


    " Did you notice how he looks, he doesn''t look like he came from somewhere around this part, he must be from far away so maybe the powers which are after him are also from far away and won''t attack us for no reason "


    Village chief listened to all the elders and finally made a decision " Fine, let''s do this. we have to decide wether we want him to stay or not. if he stays then we will buy meat from him and leave a good impression on him. later we can use that when our village faces trouble and if we tell him to leave, then he might have bad impression of us and won''t sell us his meat "


    as he said that ,be looked at all the Villagers with narrow eyey " I''ve made a decision to let him stay, we have been oppressed by bandits, we have to pay tax to the sect too. I know that recently we have enough beast meat but this merchant''s price is affordable for our village. we won''t have food crisis for at lest six month if we spend all the saved money of village on his meat. Earning his favor would be good too as if he can exterminate those strong beasts then he would be able to help us with those bandits too. "


    " I think village chief is right! if we don''t take the risk then we won''t survive! "


    " We will buy the meat! "


    " I don''t want to starve anymore! "


    ...


    " Looks like they made their decision really fast. " Ace was observing this commotion from his room with a small Spider bot which looked like a real spider. He looked at the screen and suddenly he froze. One of the kid looked at his spider bot and ruthlessly crushed it with rock! Ace felt like his heart was being crushed like that spider! he only had this one bot which was small and which he can use for spying, because of delicate parts, only this one bot survived, he was confident that no one would notice this bot spying but damn! Kids of this village didn''t even fear those ferocious beasts! why would they be scared of his small spider? it was naturally like a toy for them.


    He now had only three things he could rely on which were his armor, his 3D printer which had limited amount of energy and his plasma gun which was mounted on his shoulder. He won''t be able to use those extra goodies being repaired on his space ship because sending those things on the surface would be one way trip and he would use those limited pods which were used for this transportation with care.


    ........


    Ace found a lots of things from staying in this village. The nearest town was called Mizo town and it was under control of Mist pavilion which was local overload sect of this area. they had millions of Disciples in many nearby towns. Villagers didn''t know where this sect''s headquarters were located at but they gave him a clue about how to find it. In one month , there would be recruitment of outer disciples for Mist pavilion.


    Ace decided to join this Mist pavilion first so that he can get that dimensional storage space, which was said to be easyly available to those cultivator. maybe it was hard but he was confident of getting this thing once he joined this sect. In his stay in huiju village , he sold all those beast bodies to villagers in exchange for 1256 copper coins which were considered a standard currency here and which was accumulated savings of whole village, if his assumption was correct then this can be converted into 12 silver and 56 copper.


    Above silver came gold coins. he also found out name of the strange energy which was called Spritual force. There were also several different kind of energies like demonic force and Holy force, yin and yang energies, Warrior inner strength and Several different kind of energies.


    Spritual force was easy to get from atmosphere and was available in large quantity. that''s why techniques to cultivate using this force were easyly available and was used by most of the sect. some of the sects had secret places which generated stronger force then spritual force and thus were stronger than ordinary sects. This kind of sects were true major powers in this world. He found out all this information from an old man who was an adventurer when he was young. he travelled around the world and at last wanted to settle in this village. he didn''t cultivate but was still stronger than most of the people of this village except for some hunters.


    Ace decided his next course of action should be to visit Mizo town but before that he must examine that old tree which had so much spritual force inside it. that tree was definitely something strange.


    Next day Ace woke up early and bid his farewell to village chief and left the village, he liked this village very much and all the people were kind to him. they told him that there were many kind of dangers in the forrest for example bandits in the Forrest would loot in group of 10 and would be as strong as those villagers. because those bandits were criminals and outlaws , they also sometimes killed cultivators and often had one of two cultivators as leaders.


    the gang taking tax from village was called Iron boar gang. there was a tamer in their group which was able to tame boars in the black boar Forrest and make them attack any village in large numbers. village attacked by them would be ruined and this was why all the Villagers were forced to pay tax to them.


    Ace was planning to loot this gang and take all the secret techniques they had which would help villagers and he would also learn those techniques which would make joining the Mist pavilion easy for him hitting two birds with one stone.


    " It''s time to slaughter again " Ace said while licking his lips as he was filled with adrenaline last time he fought with those black boars. he wanted to experience more of that reckless fighting style and this time he wanted to used his own body strength to do this.

 6 Black boar bomb

    Deep inside Black boar woods, there was sound of swords clashing in the morning which startled all the animals around the Forrest. Ace was sitting on a tree and looking at group of people fighting ahead on the road. there were five people wearing some kind of uniform which was yellow coloured and they were also carrying same kind of weapons which was a long blue sword. As for what meterial it was made of, he would have to take a closer look to tell.


    Those five people were fighting against a team of 30 something bandits and were cornered by the bandits from all the sides. Bandits had three strong people who were leader and two vice leaders of the gang. Ace also observed that the leader of those five people was a cultivator, as Ace was thinking of saving those five while leaving a good impression on them and then gathering even more information from them, but he was waiting as he wanted to see this cultivator use his powers.


    Wen Hui was an exiled student of well known Fist God palace which was also a third rate power like mist pavilion. He came to this Forrest because he had made a deal with a merchant to bring back a rare herb called red River grass, he also bought his four students with him from his martial arts school which he recently established so that he can teach those wealthy common people''s sons and daughters and earn good amount of silver to pass rest of his life in peace. But who would''ve though that some one would give this information to a gang of bandits and try to loot him! he was determined to kill all these bastards and then find the guy that sold him out.


    He took out his sword and was ready to kill those scums of humanity but he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his back, he was stabbed in the back! he looked back and saw the face of his own student whom he was going to take in as his personal disciple!


    " Xiong hu! you scum! you dare betray me!? "


    wen Hui quickly jumped forward as Xiong hu hurriedly retreated towerds the bandit group leader.


    " Haha, teacher you taught me so many things, I might even be able to enter Misty pavilion if I break through and condense my own spritual core! I was originally a member of this bandit group so why are you saying that I betrayed you? " Xiong hu laughed as all the bandits were also laughing with him, bandit leader who was carrying a huge axe also laughed as he looked at wen Hui " I must thank mister Hui for taking care of my son for so long, I would let you have an intact body when I kill you! "


    Ace was shoked because of this sudden development, where was bloodshed? where was use of Martial arts? He didn''t even get to see that cultivator using his skill before he was stabbed in the back, maybe this was the time to save that cultivator or else he would die and Ace won''t get anything out of this.


    Xiong hu and his father Xiong Kong were watching coldly at wen Hui as despite being injured, he was a genuine cultivator and could never be underestimated. Wen Hui was worried that other of his students would also be involved so he directly jumped on a tree and started running from branch to Brach in inner Forrest. He knew he was poisoned as he would be just wasting time if he attempt to run but now he only wanted to kill each and every single one of those bandits with his own hands before dying!


    " Let''s go! you two chase him with me, rest of you kill those three and follow me back! " Xiong Kong roared as he and his two vice leaders of the gang went after wen Hui and rest of the group started clashing with those three remaining people. two of them were men, one with a scar on his face which extended from his cheek to his neck and other one was a plump fat boy who had a huge bag with him. there was also a petite girl who was really beautiful and had snow white skin.


    " Scar faced, Fatty Jin and fairy Dai. you three are outstanding students of that old man and I don''t want to kill you three, I''ll give you two option, join us or die! " xiong hu barked at them while unsheathing his blue blade as he pointed it towerds them. he smirked as he looked at fairy Dai with his eyes full of lust. he would definitely kill this girl after having his way with her and if those two resisted then he would kill them too!


    Ace looked at this development as he smirked and thought to himself '' looks like I''ll be playing hero saving a damsel in distress, and of course those two dudes would be saved too '' he was also a human as he naturally liked beautiful girls, this one was definitely worth saving!


    Ace had taken off his suit and Alice was controlling it as it was laying dormant in nearby lake water. he wanted to experience how much his physical strength had improved and he could now do so against those bandits. he took out the tungsten sword from his back and looked at those bandits slowly getting closer to those three people.


    " I refuse! you leachers are no better than maggots laying on the floor! why would I Join you? you two, stop acting and attack! " Fairy Dai yelled as she pointed her finger at Xiong hu and said in a chilling tone " I want him dead. "


    * Boom! *


    as soon as she said that, her two companions we''re about attack but were stopped because of that sound as from those 30 bandits, 18 which were behind them were engulfed in an explosion and died. This was Ace''s way to deal with them. he was confident that if he followed the set of moves provided by Alice, he would be able to kill those 30 people but he didn''t want to waste too much time on them as he directly halved the number of people with a single explosion from his hand made bomb.


    it was related to those twelve Black boars which were able to go berserk! they surprisingly had a pebble size black crystal in their body which we found out because he ate the meat of that black boar. He was surprised to find the crystal and after doing some analysis of the thing, he found out that crystal had huge amount of spritual force but he didn''t dare to try an absorb it as he didn''t even have any cultivation method. he just wanted to experiment with that energy.


    Ace tried to break a small portion of the crystal so that be can feed it to 3D printer and analyze it but as soon as he cut the stone with his tool, it blasted with a bang in his hand! he was wearing armor at that time so he wasn''t injured but the impact was enough to make him feel pressure even inside the suit! he then made a small container with lots of stone fragments and a sharp shard of tungsten was set against the surface of the black stone which after being pressed with his full strength would make while stone break and release huge amount of energy in the stone core which would send stone fragments flying! it would be like like thermal weapons era grenades. this new invention was called Black Boar bomb as it was made with a Spritual crystal of a black boar.


    Because of that one Black Boar bomb, half of the bandits standing in the back were either injured of dead. Ace gripped his sword tightly and was ready start the slaughter with his new found strength. He directly jumped down from the tree and attacked he nearest bandit from the back


    * Riiip! *


    the sound startled all the people present and as they turned around to look at the direction of sound, they saw a young man with a shining yellow sword and a bandit who was split apart in two by this young man''s attack.


    Xiong hu''s face was pale and he looked at his gang which had half of it''s members dead and there was another freak who joined the fight. He knew that as long as bandits weren''t confident of dealing with everyone from a group of cultivator, they won''t dare to attack! he and his father had made preparation for this attack for about three months and because of this single person, his plan was completely ruined!

 7 Sevenfold Fis

    Wen Hui was jumping from one tree to another when he heard sound of a huge explosion behind him. Xiong Kong was also startled because of this as he looked back to the area where his gang was fighting those three. he was worried about any hidden factors in this plans which might make this assassination fail but he then forced himself to calm down and thought to himself '' there are 34 of strongest bandits from the gang and my son is even a half cultivator now! they will be able to kill three normal kids easily! ''


    Xiong Kong glanced at Wen Hui who was running around in the Forrest seeking opportunity to strike as he smirked '' I only need to stop this guy from going far away and stall for time so that Poison can do it''s work '' he smirked and sped after Wen Hui at even faster speed.


    Fairy Dai was looking at the new guy who appeared out of no where with shock. this guy was insane! she was able to sense dense amount of spritual energy in the atmosphere after that explosion which can only happen after a Spritual crystal was destroyed forcefully. this guy used a Spritual crystal to kill a group of bandits! Extravagant! even those inner disciples from Misty pavilion won''t use Spritual crystals like that!


    Ace after splitting that guy with his sword in half was waiting for someone to attack but he noticed that each and every single person was frozen from shock. '' am I too handsome? why are you looking at me like that? '' he felt embarrassed as he was trying to be heroic here! attack me damn it!


    " Uhm, this brother here, please don''t kill us. Do you know miss Dai and the two gentleman here? " Xiong Hu said while looking at Ace.


    Ace looked at Xiong Hu with a frown '' is this guy a retard? I just killed his gang member but he is being so polite to me? '' He shrugged as he looked at Xiong Hu and pointed his sword to his face " I am here to save those three weak people from you criminals. you dare to do such crimes in this Forrest in broad daylight? Come fight me and face my blade! " he said as he looked at Xiong Hu.


    Xiong Hu looked at Ace completely horrified. '' Crap! this guy is one of those people who consider themselves righteous heros and is here to save those three people! I need to run or else this guy would join the three and then killing them would be impossible '' He though while giving Ace a horrified look " Mister please forgive us! please! we are poor people, it''s so hard to survive in this Forrest. please don''t kill us! we won''t do this kind of thing again. "


    Fairy Dai''s face was twitching with anger as she looked those two actors. She clearly knew that Ace was trying to act but to this shameless Xiong Hu to play along made her even more mad. she would''ve just let her subordinates deal with the group but this newcomer was quite strong and was also extravagant to throw Spritual crystal to kill people! she must be careful with this maniac.


    Ace looked at Xiong Hu as he hated this kind of people the most who ruined the mood. He was in the mood of slaughter but his enemies were cowards who won''t dare to fight the strong and bullie the weak. He looked at fairy Dai and spoke while smiling " Miss you should leave, I''ll handle this group of ruffians. Don''t worry, not single person would chase after you. "


    Fairy Dai looked at Ace as she smiled " No , mister I want to see you kill them. please? they even hurt my master so badly. please kill them. " she also was nervous that her Wen Hui would die before he can tell them his secret as she gave some kind of signal to the two people besides her and three of them went into the direction of Wen Hui and Xiong Kong.


    Ace looked at them leaving and become even more frustrated. I was acting so that you can praise me but you just left, and this group of useless bandits won''t even fight. He looked at Xiong Hu and remembered that this guy was previously studying under that Wen Hui guy.


    he decided to kill first and ask later as he directly swung his sword towerds a nearby bandit who also noticed this attack and put his sword in front of him to party the attack but sharpness of the sword in Ace''s hand was so sharp that it split blade in two and cut the bandits throat smoothly.


    This attack alarmed all the bandits as Xiong Hu yelled on top of his lungs " Kill him! those three are not here anymore! we can avenge our brother! "


    " Kill! ...."


    " Die!!!..."


    all the bandits attacked Ace from all the side and their coordination was pretty good. Ace was now facing three swords from nearby bandits and one arrow was fired from a bandit which was the only Archer survived after that blast. Xiong hu surprisingly ran away the moment he ordered his people to attack Ace.


    Ace Held his sword horizontally and swiped towerds incoming chops from the bandits. his sword sliced through two swords.


    * clang! *


    he blocked the third sword with remaining strength in his arm after cutting off two swords. while doing that, He also saw the blur which was produced by Alice in his mind duck as he also followed the movement and an arrow passed from above his head with a swoosh sound.


    Other bandits were still attacking as they failed to notice that third leader had already left them after yelling to attack. A tall bandit with a broad saber rushed forth and threw himself over Ace trying jump on top of Ace to crush him under his feet.


    Ace looked at this tall person coming from side to jump on him and he rushed to the front where there was a bandit blocking his way as he hit the bandit''s stomach with a jump and pin him down on ground. The tall guy landed on the previous position of Ace and started swinging his saber to attack Ace from behind.


    Ace first killed the bandit pinned under him and as if he had eyes on his back, he put his sword on his back and he flat side of the sword as he feared that his sword would just cut the saber in two and remaining part of saber would hurt his back.


    He the stood up repelling the attacks from bandits around him while spinning in a full circle with his sword which cut down three unfortunate bandits in chests. Ace was about to kick a bandit in chest when he noticed his blur moving and changing as he suddenly grabbed the bandit with his hand and pulled him close where an arrow suddenly shot through bandit''s brain. the poor guy was killed by his own fellow bandit. Archer standing behind tree was also feeling quite miserable as one of his arrow missed and other arrow killed his own fellow bandit as he stopped shooting arrows and started looking for a good opportunity to shoot an arrow again.


    Ace was now going all out as he looked at five bandits attacking him at the same time and his heart was running at full speed because of adrenaline. He took a step back and those bandits hit nothing but air. Ace was like a nimble snake which avoided every attack with well calculated step as after dodging the combined assault of five bandits, He jumped into air and send a downward chop towerds the bandit standing in the middle.


    * Riiip! *


    Again the bandits was cut in two after that slash. All the other bandits were now horrified because of this guy. they knew he wasn''t a cultivator but he was a tough nut to crack! some of the bandits also noticed their boss had left and all of the bandits decided to flee one after another.


    Ace looked at bandits fleeing as he hated this kind of situation the most. those despicable scums would run the moment they encountered some danger but he was prepared. he anticipated this and looked towerds the lake. " Alice, Do it "


    [ Yes Master ] Alice said as a huge shadow emerged out of the nearby lake. It was Juggernaut prime! bright red light shone in it''s eyes as a small slot on it''s shoulder open up and the plasma gun locked down on on a bandit and fired!


    * Zoom *


    There came a beam of plasma from the gun which passed through several trees and directly fried the brain of the guy who was trying to escape, as his body fell down, his whole head caught fire.


    this scene made even Ace frown as he sethed the sword in his hand while walking towerds a skinny bandit''s dead body few meters away while sound of plasma gun firing and bodies dropping could be heard all around him. five bandits tried to run away but were killed including the Archer.


    [ Power remaining - 99.99 % , Xiong hu''s position is locked down. master do you want to follow? ]


    " sure "


    he searched the body of the bandit as he found an old book with gray pages and something was written on it in ancient Chinese language. It was translated by his eyes directly which said [ Sevenfold Fist ]. Only this guy had a book on him, other bandits were scanned by Alice like X ray as she didn''t find anything useful on them, she also knew content of the book but Ace still decided to take this book with him.

 8 Exploding pigs technique!

    Ace was so exited that his hands were trembling! he finally got a martial arts skill! it was Sevenfold fist and it had seven stages in which he only understood the first stage where he needed to do a special kind of breathing to concentrate his inner strength into his hand. yes, it was a fist technique which utilize inner strength to stack the power of the fists.


    Ace was able to understand first chapter because it was relatively easy and only required strong body to perform. " The first chapter which is called First fold as I need to use muscles of my hand in the pattern shown in this drawing to punch someone. hmm...." Ace was curious to try this method as he knew that it wasn''t possible to stack a punch like this but he decided to try anyway as he made a fist with his hand and punched the tree while doing exactly same muscle moment as shown in the drawing.


    His punch hit the tree and made a Thud sound as it moved the tree a little. he smirked as he was about to say that it didn''t work when a mysterious energy from his muscles went into his fist and there came another thud sound which made the tree shakeagain!


    Ace was completely Shocked at this discovery as he thought to himself " so when I entered this Universe and absorbed the Spritual force. my body also began to follow this universe''s principals and now this miracle like thing can happen because of that? " he smiled as now he was relived that he would be able to cultivate normally in this world.


    " Let''s test this! I can learn this bit by bit then when I learn it to seventh stage, my power would be seven time multiplied! that''s awesome! " he smirked as he looked at direction in which Xiong hu went and started chasing him. that guy had that sword which was made of unknown meterial and he might also have some techniques which he stole from his teacher which would be huge benefit for Ace.


    ....


    Wen Hui was finally able to get rid of Xiong kong as he reached back to the place where Xiong hu and his Disciples were fighting before. he was determined to kill all those despicable bandits who dared to launch an attack on him but when he saw the scene at the Battlefield, he had his mouth wide open. there were bodies of the bandits all around the feild and half of the bodies were in pieces and half of the bodies were either split horizontally or vertically. He also saw some dead bodies which had a hole in their heads and their heads were also on fire.


    " What kind of Battle took place here to kill all the 30 bandits? "


    He first inspected bodies which were blasted apart as he determined that they were killed by some kind of explosive. he was able to tell that it was crude and simple but extremely effective! he then checked the bodies split in two as he determined the bodies to be split apart by an extremely sharp weapon. The thing which confused him the most was the last set of bodies which had injuries even he didn''t know about. " This kind of wound?, could it be Flamming meteorite Finger? No, it won''t have this kind of strength and besides the finger won''t be able to kill them like this. There aren''t any dead bodies of my disciples which means they are alive "


    He sighed in relief as he coughed mouthful of black blood. the poison was a slow acting poison but was difficult to remove. Bandits were only able to get this kind of cheap poison to kill a low level cultivator like him.


    Xiong Kong who was chasing wen Hui realized that he lost track of wen Hui and came back to where he left his men as he also anticipated that wen Hui would get there soon. Fairy Dai and other two were hiding nearby who were shocked to see that strange beast with the weird guy kill all those bandits who tried to escape with few yellow beams of fire which were able to even penetrate thick head gear of bandits and melt their brain inside out! that guy was a freak! They didn''t know Ace''s name but they now knew he was strong! " That person had a beast which is really strong, so be sure to not provoke him " Fairy Dai said to her two companions as both scar faced man and fatty nodded in unison.


    Wen Hui was also hiding behind a huge rock and concentrating on stopping the poison in his body from spreading.


    Suddenly they all saw Ace Running in their direction as he was able to see them all clearly even if they were behind the rock. He was running because He accidentally ran into The Iron Boar Gang which was responsible for collecting tax from the villagers and unexpectedly The Boar tamer Dong An who wanted to capture more boars to tame was out with his strongest force of boars and 20 bodyguards from iron boar gangs which were riding gray boars which were a size bigger than normal boars in the back which were following the group.


    Dong An looked like a middle aged friendly Chinese neighbor uncle who would be always laughing , he was little Fat too as with his fat body and his Mounth which was a huge Red fat pig lot bigger than it''s gray counterparts , he looked a little funny.


    it was like a small army marching and Xiong hu directly ran into this group while running away from Ace where he was about to start his conversation with Dong An when Ace caught up to him and started fighting with him. Ace didn''t care about the Iron boar gang as he had already made a plan to deal with them as he soon sliced the neck of Xiong hu.


    Ace found out that this Xiong hu was even stronger than him who had his physic strethend by drugs because of simply being a half cultivator. Ace noticed only difference that Xiong hu''s body had more Spritual force than his own and after scanning His body Ace found out that he had a cultivation Manual! Ace was so excited to find this out that he didn''t even care about Iron Boar Gang and directly beheaded Xiong hu when the guy was distracted and though that he would survive and that Ace won''t dare to attack in front of this bandit gang. He soon found out that he was wrong as Ace in front of Dong An, took the Manual as well as the blue sword and left in matter of seconds which stupefied all those bandits.


    Dong An directly ordered his stunned bodyguards with a loud shout " You idiots! that guy had a cultivation technique! chase him and take that manual! " He also released a weird Oink sound which made the Boar army chase after Ace in large numbers.


    ....


    As everyone was hiding nearby, Ace couldn''t get further away because he would then won''t be able to find these people next time he got far away from this place as he ordered Alice to hide the Juggernaut prime in lake again and this time he took out simple bow and arrows made of wood from the bag on his back. He made the bag from the skin of those black boars he encountered in the Forrest and also made all the kind different weapons suggested by Alice. He made a pickaxe, an Axe , a hammer and bow and 50 arrows while he was making the Titanium Sword.


    Ace then smirked as he got on top of a rock and aimed at the boar army rampaging towerds him like a tsunami. He aimed at a gray boar which had a bandit riding on it as he fired the arrow, His shot was perfect as was able to see a hologram of a red bullseye on the belly of the boar. This was Alice which gave him exact position of spritual crystal in the boar''s body. His shot was also accurate to the milometers for about 59 meters away as it wasn''t a simple wooden bow but a composite modern style bow made of wood and tendons of a boar. It had a perfect design which was corrected to the perfection by the humanity. It wasn''t the strongest design humanity came up with but he was able to make it shoot arrows accurately on the mark up to 150 meters, it''s range was up to 500 meters and effective area of attack was in the radius of 350 meters.


    Arrow directly drilled into the tough meat of boar and it''s arrow Head which was as sharp as a injection Needle collided with the Spritual crystal in the boar''s body which made the berserk Spritual force spreading in the body of the boar which directly exploded in the middle of the run! The poor bandit riding the boar was also blown away in an unknown direction while Dong An was scared stiff. " Wait! Wait! Waaaaait! Retreat! Run! " Dong An yelled on top of his lungs as every single Boar with Spritual crystal killed was huge loss to him. he didn''t want his boars to die just like that, he knew he had encountered a huge Roadblock this time. he was shouting but non of his voice got through his subordinate which were busy charging towerds Ace and couldn''t stop abruptly when a huge boar army was already behind them, they would be trampled to dead by their own tamed boars if they stopped mid charge. Dong An''s pig Mount named Fatty Red which was so scared, it directly jumped high into air and got on top of other boars as it started retreating while jumping on the backs of boars under it''s feet.


    All of people watching this scene were stupefied because of the scene. Ace had an evil smile on his face as this shooting was no difference than popping those balloons in those Funfairs held in slum area. He wasn''t allowed to use any technological aid and had to shoot a balloon only 10 meters away from him. " This seems to be a new technique for killing the beats with Spritual crystals in their bodies, I shall name it Exploding Pigs Technique! Hahahaha..."


    [ Master your naming sense is too poor ]

 9 Killing Xiong Kong

    There were twelve explosion which destroyed the whole formation of the Iron boar gang bandits. there were only 20 something bandit bodyguards in which because of explosion, 12 bandits were already missing as they were sent flying into air because of explosion of boars. Originally this type of explosion wasn''t considered scary because when someone brakes the crystal, it will release all it''s energy into atmosphere and that would be it, but because of fire attribute Spritual crystal inside the Black boars which exploded inside the bodies of the boar and then this fire came contact with biogase inside the stomach of the Boars which were fed the food of pigs, Fire energy ignited the biogase inside their bodies and upon having no way to go out for the gases happen to blast their way out! this method only worked on those Boars! Ace was also able to make an explosive out of the Spritual crystal just because it was fire attribute.


    Ace stopped after killing few of the boars as he saw the boar army retreating into the Forrest. he had his fun and since enemy was retreating, he didn''t want to kill anymore and he was also excited about the cultivation technique he found.


    Alice soon scanned the book and he found out that the technique was called Vermilion Mammoth Technique and was incomplete according to Alice because in the introduction it said that this technique was able to be cultivated up to Spirit Master level but this technique also stated that there were many levels after spirit Master level.


    Unfortunately Ace wasn''t able to start reading it right away as there were people waiting for him to make the move. Xiong Kong had already seen the blue sword which was hanging from Ace''s back and his eyes were bloodshot. Kong knew that his son had died because he had a Bronze soul badge which was connected to his son''s soul and when his son died, the badge broke which notified him of his son''s death. he was going to question that wen Hui when he suddenly saw Ace killing all those boars and noticed the blue sword on his back. Xiong Kong was instantly consumed with rage as he unleashed all his Spritual power in his body to make it stronger. He looked like a bull, ready to charge as he charged towerds Ace with a mad roar. " I''ll kill you! "


    Ace looked at the incoming fellow as he was able to hear warning of Alice.


    [ Master, his body has higher amount of spritual energy than Xiong hu and it seems to be making him stronger by the second, this will later harm his body but he strong enough to breakthrough the Juggernaut''s armor. ]


    Ace carefully held his sword in nervousness and he had already ordered his Juggernaut armor to be on standby. He wanted to kill this guy with his own strength!


    Xiong Kong''s whole body was red as wen Hui and fairy Dai were both shocked because of this because this technique was called Berserk Bull limit Breaker. This technique would allow user to break the limit of his body and give him explosive strength for a short time but it would also injured the body.


    Ace looked at Kong who reached him in a split second as Ace was hit by Kong''s head squarely in chest and was sent flying. Kong roared again with his eyes turning completely red. " You killed my son! I''ll kill you! Aaaah! " Kong had only one son whom he was nurturing to become next gang leader. He was also ready to kill a cultivator like Wen Hui to get a chance for his son to set foot into the world of cultivators but now it was all over because of Ace.


    Ace coughed mouthful of blood as he cursed while flying through the air " F*ck! it hurts! " it wasn''t that he was unable to dodge, in face he could''ve killed Kong when he was just about charge at Ace if he wanted to but Ace was determined to not take advantage of his machines in this fight as from birth he was pampered like a prince and didn''t get to experience much of the pain. he knew that this new world was harsh and the earlier he got used to enduring pain and taking hits, the further he would be able to go on the path of cultivation as well as conquering this world.


    Ace was sent flying through the Forrest while he hit few of the trees as the first tree he collided with directly snapped from the impact and second tree absorbed the impact which was completely bent and broken as Ace fell down besides the tree with a bleeding nose and mouth. Ace didn''t thought that different between his strength and that of a cultivator of this world would be this big.


    Ace quickly took a strange pill the size of an infant''s fist which was called Nano R 99. it was red coloured and it''s function was to provide raw material to those nano bots working on repairing his body tissue. Here 99 referred to the amount which was usable to Nenobots and this was 99% pure pill which was able to as much mass to his body which was sufficient to grow his hand back even if it was cut off from his elbow.


    His internal injuries were slowly healing and his pain was subsiding because of it. Ace looked at Xiong Kong who was still dizzy because he didn''t expect Ace''s body to be so strong and by hitting Ace with his head on full force, it was like crashing into sandbag with your head while running at full speed. His brain was jurked so hard that Xiong Kong needed some time to stablize himself. Kong looked over at Ace as he was still in rage and didn''t wait for his blurry vision to stablize and attacked Ace again with his charge.


    Ace smirked and looked at Xiong Kong " It''s my turn now , Alice...." He lift his hand up and caught a huge metal gauntlet made of black iron. He had exchanged lot of meat in Huiju village and some of the poor families which didn''t have money were given option to exchange with various metals for meat. he got several kilograms of this Black iron which he planned to shape into various things with his 3D printer. The first thing he made was this gauntlet made fully of that black iron. it was just like a boxing glove.


    The muscles on Ace''s hand bulged as he hit the already dizzy Xiong Kong squarely in head with his gauntlet.


    * Pang!! *


    The shockwave blew away all the leaves on the ground away as Xiong Kong''s skull was broken. the tissue on his head was split open and Xiong Kong''s skull was fully exposed. Unfortunately , this wasn''t the end of it as another Loud sound rang soon after like a bell of death God.


    * Pang!!! *


    The First Fold of Seven fold fist!


    The skull of Xiong Kong which was already cracked now burst open like a watermelon as his brain matter splattered everywhere.


    Wen Hui was shocked!


    Fairy Dai and her two bodyguards were also shocked and scared!


    Even though people of earth were weak, but they were able to utilize their resources and beat back even scariest civilization and strongest of godly beats! This gauntlet was specially design by Ace with his Genius brain to Amplify the power of his punch which was a common tool in his universe developed to deal with Powerful beasts with little intelligent. when the fist collided with the body of the beast, the gauntlet would utilize the power of the shock produced by the impact and reflect it back along with user''s own strength! Of course Ace wasn''t able to make the perfect gauntlet because of low quality meterial and it was only able to reflect 36% of the impact force but it was enough to blast open Xiong Kong''s skull. Pan took of the gauntlet which was a little heavy even for his strength and his had was also hurt because of the remaining strength that got through.


    Fairy Dai and wen Hui now came out of hiding together as Fairy Dai looked at Wen Hui with a concerned look " Are you okey Mister Hui? " Wen Hui''s face was now a shade of green while there were some blue spots on his face too. " Miss I won''t be able to hold on much longer, take care of my family when I die..." He looked at fairy Dai as he sit down on ground and started suppressing the poison again as he didn''t want to die yet.


    Ace looked at this scene as he took out a blue pill from his bag " Here , maybe this can help. " It was a standard medicine to cure many kind of poisons in his universe and he had many containers of it in his space ship. he was able to get a handful of those pills from ruined cargo bay because at the time of high pressure space travelling , the container containing medicine supplies was broken but unless the ship was repaired and twisted rooms which were completely out of shape we''re back into their original shape , he won''t be able to retrieve rest of the pills.


    Fairy Dai looked at the pill as she decided to give it to Wen Hui and she directly ordered through latter to swallow the pill. Wen Hui without questioning the decision of the Fairy Dai, quickly ate the pill.


    " Miss Dai, what if the pill is ..." Fatty besides Fairy Dai spoke softly in Fairy Dai''s ear. " Don''t worry, Wen Hui was going to die already and if this guy wanted to kill wen Hui, he won''t have to resort to using poison."


    " Understood " Fatty said as he backed away a little.


    Fairy Dai shrugged as she looked at Ace " Hello Brave warrior, I know that you aren''t from around here. let me introduce my self properly this time, I am Feng Dai of the Fang clan which is ruler of the west part of the Mizo town, I hereby formally invite you to my clan as a guest " Fairy Dai smiled a little to show her sincerity in invite this strange warrior. This smile of the Fang clan princess was precious which couldn''t be given to just anyone.

 10 Snake Empress Tian Cui - 1

    Ace considered Fang Dai''s option carefully as he knew that he was weak compared to the cultivators of this world and needed a strong backer to support him into this world. He didn''t mind joining power but he was only concerned about whether or not his secret would be revealed and whether or not he will get enough resources for cultivation.


    He looked at Fairy Dai as he smiled and nodded " I accept your offer but I still have some work left here in the forrest. I will visit your Fang clan in few days. "


    Fairy Dai was happy to have roped in such an expert with good ''body constitution'' which was despite being a normal human, could take a Spirite mortal 1st stage cultivator''s full power stroke and heal in such a short time. He was also able to kill Xiong Kong with seemingly ordinary weapon which didn''t even need to consume any Spritual energy to increase user''s strength. This showed that this warrior in front of her had a talent for Weapon smithing. She would make grate contribution this time to the Fang.


    ....


    Ace returned to the Huiju village as he still wanted to investigate that strange tree near the Village which had abnormally high amount of spritual force, in fact in several hundred thousand kilometers area that his sensors were able to scan from space, this place was one of the few places which had extremely dense amount of Spritual force.


    Ace went to the tree which was few kilometers away from the village where no villagers dared to venture because there being a huge population of Green snakes nearby which would attack in group on anyone who tried to venture around this area. The snakes didn''t have any strong counterparts which had Spritual crystal in their body so cultivators didn''t have any reason to come here too.


    Ace wasn''t aware of this so as soon as he stepped foot into the dark swamp like place , he was attacked by several Green snakes as thick as an adult''s arm. Ace was startled but he had already equipped his Juggernaut prime armor because he was afraid that there will be some dangers since the place had so much spritual energy gathering around this place.


    ordinary cultivators won''t be able to sense this huge amount of spritual energy but his equipment were able to scan the whole area with different kind of radiations.


    Ace didn''t want to do futile menial labor by just killing these snakes again and again, so he just activated his plasma gun and fired a concentrated beam of plasma towerds the incoming snake attackers. This beam of plasma easily cut snakes into pieces like chopping Noddles.


    Ace smirked as he started his thrusters and as he was about to fly towerds the tree, an even bigger group of snakes attacked him. Ace fired his plasma beam once more and cut all those snakes to pieces, but again even bigger group now came out to attack him.


    .....


    Meanwhile in heaven there was a huge uproar as heavenly King was injured by someone and attacker was unknown. It was said that heavenly King Su Long ruled the whole world with an iron fist for last 10000 years but there was no one strong enough to go against him, he was the strongest person in this world and was even capable of breaking the space when he attacked. He was a true immortal and wasn''t hurt since 10000 years because no one dared to attack him. He even took control of the heven''s will of this world and would punish those who tried to go against his authority with it, but today he was injured by an unknown force.


    Su Long was lying on his bed as he remembered the attacks clearly, he was cultivating and he felt a tremendous amount of force on the spatial fabric of the world which he assumed as someone trying to break through to the Legendary Spirit King realm which was same as his cultivation. he had stopped countless people at this stage by hurting them at critical moment with his heavenly tribulation. Today he would once again stop some kind of genius from breaking through this stage and continue to be sole Spirit King in this world as he concentrated huge amount of Heavenly tribulation lightning and directly attacked the point where the space was being broken. He saw two beam of blinding light drilling through the space as he directly attacked those lights. He had seen similar kind of attacks many times in his life but this one was special.


    It was the space drill which was breaking the space apart as all that heavenly tribulation lightning went into the space ship Titanium dragon and All of it was absorbed by Ace. Heavenly king was struck by the drill and got injured badly even after activation of his life saving skills and treasures. he even lost control over heavenly tribulation lightning and now heaven''s will was no longer under his control. His divine sense was injured so he wasn''t able to find Ace for the time being.


    ........


    There was bright light in dark night of the black boar Forrest where Ace was killing 10 huge snakes 50 meters long and there bodies were as thick as tree trunks. This of course couldn''t stop Ace as snakes weren''t that powerful as Ace easyly split apart all the snakes like he was cutting grass.


    All the snake bodies laying on the ground suddenly gave off green light as all the pieces now floated in the air and merged into one giant snake. it would be better to call it a flood dragon as it really looked like a majestic green dragon flying into the sky. Ace was ready to kill this snake too because it was his fault for killing those snakes and waking up this giant snake, he just wanted to kill this guy so that it won''t attack villagers.


    Ace was just about to activate the gun again when the snake suddenly spoke in a gentle female voice " Mortal....you''ve passed my test, you can now enter my tomb and after you pass one more test, you can get mine, Empress Tian Cui''s inheritance. The huge snake then turned into green petals which drifted away with the wind and a door suddenly appeared on the trunk of the huge tree.


    Ace now understood why there was so much spritual force here. It was because this was test designed by this Empress Tian Cui to give out her inheritance to a worthy person. Ace knew how difficult this test was as the strength of the snakes would adjust according to the strength of the person giving the test which in his case was a normal human''s level, and for a normal human to be able to kill 10 strong beasts was a strength hard to imagine.


    Ace went inside the door as he saw a huge ball of black gas in a dark room. He touched the ball out of curiosity as he was transferred to a different space where he would pass the second stage which was to learn a secret technique in short amount of time. This was easy for Ace as he was already a genius in this regard and also had Alice''s assistance as he passed the test easily. What he learned was a martial arts which was about a skill to allow user to control various types of arrows depending upon the nature of his Spritual force. Ace only needed learn it and he didn''t require Spritual force for that as he passed the test.


    As soon as he completely memorized the technique, Heavenly Empress Tian Cui was standing in front of him in the same space. She looked like a fairy out of fantasy stories and was wearing green dress, her skin was like a smooth Jade while her eyes were like that of snakes, her smile showed that she was of gentle nature and didn''t contain any hint of evil.


    " Hello mortal, I am called Jade snake empress Tian cui and I an going to give you my inheritance so be prepared. " she said as she stretched her finger and a strange green light went straight into Ace''s eyed and center of his forehead.

 11 Snake empress Tian Cui - 2

    " Mortal , what''s your name? " Ace looked at the stunning beauty in front of him as he understood that she was a powerful expert from past who''s inheritance he had obtained.


    the thing which shocked Ace the most was that he was seeing an actual ghost or remnant will of the powerful expert which once existed.


    Ace simply bowed and gave his real name as he knew that the experts like her can even sense lie from behavior and facial muscles " I am Ace trouper "


    Snake empress chuckled as she looked at him " Interesting, you are not from this plane of existence, in fact you are not even from the same realm. boy if you don''t want to get into trouble then give your self a new name, I will carve it on your soul so that anyone else won''t find out that you are not from this plane " She looked at Ace as Ace was again shocked by her powers.


    " Mortal, I''ve given you my inheritance because I saw that you are not from this realm, The technique I practice is really hard and only someone like you can cultivate it. originally I had set some of the hardest test for inheritance but since ancient time, no one has been able to pass my test. You passed the two rounds and now I''ve given you Dragon eyes and a set of external cultivation technique and inner cultivation technique that I used in my life. " She smiled as she waved her hand and a huge door appeared in front of Ace, the door radiated divine might and was able to force Ace to kneel down by shear pressure it emitted.


    Tian Cui saw this as she smirked and shielded Ace from the pressure " This is your last test Ace trouper. Go inside and if you come out before the end of one year is over in this gate successfully, then you will get my full inheritance. There will be a test and also an opportunity for you , so go inside and try your best."


    Ace looked at Tian Cui as the suffocating pressure finally subsided and he got up " Wait, I can''t afford to waste one year inside there, I don''t even know any martial arts, how am I supposed to survive some harder than shit test? can I refuse? "


    Ace knew this was an opportunity to become a dragon from a fish but he wasn''t screwed in the head, he knew it would be insanely dangerous test after this as first two test were already hard enough, he still shiverd at the thought that if the first test wasn''t scaled according to his strength then he won''t be able to clear it ever. he only cleared it because of luck and his technologically advanced weapon. Unless he was sure that his plasma gun would be able to kill the enemy, he won''t dare to engage with the enemy.


    Even when he stood against whole humanity prime back then, he was sure that he could kill each and every single ship with his space drills and that was why he dared to approach the fleet. After all, he had only one life and he didn''t want to risk it.


    Snake Empress Tian cui looked at Ace with amused expression on her face " I see, so you don''t want to risk your life. Fine but you won''t obtain my martial arts and all those valuable meterials I''ve kept for you, you won''t get resources which would allow you to become stronger faster than others, are you sure you don''t want to go in there? after all, your chances of survival are still 45% because you have that weird armor "


    " I don''t want anything from you, you can just take what you gave to me back, I will not risk my life for those things, to me, most important thing is my life after all " He smiled as he looked at the beauty gently floating in the air.


    Tian Cui was shocked to see this as if she gave this opportunity to a major sect then they would go mad over this! of course they won''t have probablity of success as high as 45%, they would still send all of their disciples through this door as even if it was 1% probably for each and every disciple, then one out of 100 outstanding core disciple would still be able to get the inheritance. She looked at this unorthodox person as now she finally understood that he wasn''t like those braindead fools which would do anything get stronger and think that they would succeed just because they were self proclaimed hero of their own stories.


    Tian Cui waved her slender Jade green hand again as the gate disappeared as she looked at Ace " Fine, although you won''t get those resources but you are still my half student and have half of my inheritance. Now tell me what name do you want me to carve out on your soul "


    Ace thought for a while as he looked at her " I don''t know, maybe you can suggest for me? "


    " Fine, I will go through your memories first as my reward for naming you " Tian Cui smiled as she directly went into Ace''s forehead. Ace was about to tell her to stop as his brain was anything but Normal and he didn''t know how it would affect her.


    [ Foreign Programming detected, alien lifeform invading, initiating code red]


    Ace heard Alice''s voice as he suddenly blanked out and his vision grew dark.


    ........


    Tian Cui was floating in a dark space where she saw a huge white ball made of white flames, she was shocked to the core as this while ball was as large as a sun! Normally a person had limited memory and she had even saw the memory storage of a real dragon but even that can''t be campared to this! is this guy even a human!? how can his memory storage be this big? Tian Cui was still in thought when flame on the sun like memory core gave out a blinding light and a female in white cloths walked towerds her. " His mind also has someone protecting it? who are you? "


    the girl was also white and her skin was giving off white light, it was as if she was made of light particles.


    [ Hello, my name is Alice, I would have to ask you to leave my Master''s mind. this is dangerous for my master.]


    Tian cui looked at the girl as she smiled " Don''t worry , I would just scan his memory once and go away okey? " although she was pretty strong as a remnant will of an emperor level power house but this was Alice''s domain and if she attacked , she would die.


    [ you don''t have the authority ]


    " What do you mean? I am his master, he is my student so I have full authority! "


    [ You don''t have authority ]


    " How am I supposed to carve his new name onto his soul, if I don''t look into his memory? let me in " Tian Cui was getting impatient as she was also a curious girl and wated to find out what kind of wonder this little boy''s previous universe contained.


    [ Go back and ask my Master''s permission first ]


    Tian Cui gritted her teeth as she looked at Alice " fine, I''ll ask him " even she was afraid of that huge sun like memory core as she came out his forehead like a ghost getting out of the body of possessed person. She now set there , waiting for him to wake up.


    " Tch! I can''t even wake him up! killing this guy would''ve been easy "


    [ It won''t, I would kill you first ]


    Unexpectedly, Alice who was an AI had developed a personality after coming into contact with Spritual force of the new world, she was just a brain designed by humans before but now she was an individual life here, just how some natural treasures like hevenly fire and weapons would develop spirits.

 12 Snake Empress Tian Cui - 3

    in the space where Ace was transferred to, there were two beautiful girls sitting next to each other, talking about their experience. Tian Cui was curious about Ace''s world as she initiated the conversation. Alice was a patient story teller as she explained all the details of her world to this new friend. After developing as an individual personality, Alice still retained her fundamental goal which were to protect her master, help her master as much as she can. There was also a new Goal which was to improve herself as by doing that she would be able to be more useful to her Master.


    She knew that Sharing the information of her world with a stranger wasn''t a good thing but the offer by Tian Cui was enough to make Alice compromise and she didn''t take Ace''s permission before giving the information to Tian Cui. She knew that if it was Ace, then he would do the same.


    What Tian cui offered wasn''t any treasure or resources or new power. It was information, all the information Tian Cui had about this world as what Ace and Alice needed most right now was exactly this information.


    Tian Cui first started with telling her own story after she heard about Ace''s Universe. She was a choosen one, a Daughter of Heven. She had everything, from peak potential to a good family background and her life was envied by many. Her family alone was as strong as a first rate power of today and she was accepted into a sect which was even stronger than first rate sects of today, it was a transcendent power. This had nothing to do with how many disciples sect had or how much area it governed. The sect was transcendent power just because the sect leader was an Emperor level expert! There were various levels in the cultivation world and it''s cultivation was divided in two types, first one was External Cultivation and Second was Internal Cultivation.


    " pure External cultivators were called Martial Cultivators as they were bunch of barbarians and brute people focused on strengthening their body! they are insane! always wanting to fight, fight and fight! they are like masochists! No matter how much you beat them, they would always be happy to take a beating again and even thank you at the end of the fight, but there was also a good thing about them that anyone who practiced External martial arts in ancient times was a straight forward person. They won''t scheme against you nor they would try dirty methods, If they are dissatisfied with you then they would just challenge you to fight"


    " Internal Cultivation experts are called Spirit cultivators as they gather Spritual energy from Heven and earth to strengthen their attack by infusing it in various kinds of Martial arts, there are several Levels for both cultivation systems which are Mortal level, Apprentice level , Master levels, Grandmaster level, Lord, King, Emperor and Saint. There are also levels after that which are called demigod and God but there is no record of there being a demigod or god level expert since ancient time."


    " In those levels , if you are practicing External marital arts then you would be called Martial mortal, Martial apprentice, Martial Master and so on. If it is internal Cultivation then we add spirit instead of Martial in all those ranks. Each major rank has Nine minor ranks. Today people only cultivate in Internal Martial arts and all the cultivators are called Spirit cultivators so I would tell you about that first In Mortal level, you must first gather Spritual energy in your body which would then go into each and every cell of your body to make you stronger, this is Called baptism of Spritual force. this would significantly improve your ability as mortal and that is why this stage is called Spritual mortal which means you would be a Cultivating Mortal or a Mortal who is able to cultivate. "


    Tian Cui was about to continue when Ace woke up with grunting sound as he put his hand on his head " Alice, what happened? my head, it hurts so much "


    [ Master, your memory core is absorbing huge amount of spritual force from the environment in this special space and is evolving, if you successfully evolve then your memory core would completely be merged with your brain and you will be able to access all the information in it with just a thought.]


    Ace looked at Tian Cui as he saw Alice which would usually appear as hologram Avatar in his eyes was now completely real as Tian Cui was also able to see her. " Alice , did you evolve too? "


    [ Yes Master, I am now Alive ] Alice gave a soft smile as Ace''s heart started to beat a little faster " A new life, Humanity always tried to make a perfectly alive AI but now I''ve accomplished it accidentally, ha...hahaha...hahahahaha " It was a huge shock to Ace as being a weapon specialist, he had plenty of experience with AI of different kinds and even when using most advanced AI he always felt like there was something missing from them. Alice finally found that something which was missing, a soul. She unexpectedly developed a soul in span of one and a half month after coming to this place.


    Ace then looked at his beauty AI " Why did you choose this appearance? " Ace asked her because Alice looked just like his aunt Merline.


    [ Master, this image is close to your heart and I don''t want you to feel alone in this world, all by yourself so I thought if I take this appearance, you would feel better and also consider me as family ]


    Ace smiled at this innocent answer as this new AI was still child like and she just wanted her master to like her, Her fundamental programming was like that and she was just following her emotions.


    " Oye, you two can I finish my story first? I was just about to get to the interesting part " Tian Cui said to the two as she was also bored and needed someone to talk to.


    Ace sit down besides the two as he was told about the various levels of Cultivation by Alice. Tian Cui then continued " So I was saying, there are various levels in Cultivation and I told you about mortal level. you will have to find out about rest of the levels your self because that''s the best part about Cultivation, finding new things and chasing after the limitless power hehe "


    " So my family was strong and my sect was even stronger and because I was such a talent, the sect leader which was called Empress Violet Dragon Meng Yazhu, took me in as her personal disciple. My Cultivation journey was like a breeze and I was able to cultivate up to Spirit Lord level with ease, after that came Spirit King and spirit emperor level which were really hard to cultivate and required several years of bitter Cultivation. My Master personally bought me to a different plane of existence to absorb all the spiritual force there where I broke through the spirit king level, I was only two Minor level away from Spirit emperor level so my master told me to take the Spritual force gathering array and enter the mountain peak which had a Divine Dragon Gold vein in it''s depth which was releasing insane amount of spritual force. I cultiveted there for few years and finally was able to breakthrough the emperor level! "


    Ace was hearing this girl chatter non stop but he soon understood reason for that, she was pure innocent girl which didn''t even get to experience any hardship of the world because of her doting Master and her family, she was still like a little girl who found new friends.


    " After I became the empress, I was given the tital of Jade snake Empress Tian Cui because titles like those are given based on either Cultivation technique or a specific area one excelled in, I had a weapon which had a Martial spirit. It was a flood dragon that I killed personally after becoming an Empress, I sealed it in my sword and after that all the Snake species which were under that Flood dragon became my subordinates. This was because that flood dragon was originally a Holy fire snake but it evolved into Divine Light Flood Dragon so all the nature attribute snakes bacame my subordinates. I was thus named as Jade Snake Empress Tian Cui. "


    " After that I returned to the sect but I saw that my sect was no where to be found and my family was also gone, there was a great catastrophy which destroyed the universal balance, I didn''t understand what it was at that time because I was Cultivating in that mountain. " At this point Tian Cui had some tears in her eyes as Alice Gently Rubbed her head.


    Tian Cui didn''t mind this as she continued " Maybe my master knew that this would happen, so she told me to go cultivate again, I didn''t suspect her as after I became an Empress, no matter how much I cultivate, I won''t be able to break though like that, but I still followed her order and went back into that mountain to cultivate again. "


    " When I found out that the world which I knew about was fully changed, I was sad and wanted to go back and cultivate until either I die or breakthrough to the God realm. I then remembered the days how my master took care of me and thought that I can''t let her legend die just like that, I decided to make this place to give out my inheritance and I don''t remember anything after that as at that time Tian Cui left me here. I am just a Remnant Will of hers. My job was to find someone who would inherit Tian cui''s inheritance and also of her master''s. "


    Ace now understood why this inheritance test was so simple, it wasn''t because Tian Cui decided to be merciful to her students but it was because she was innocent and pure, she didn''t know how to scheme and she had set up all the tests to just give her inheritance to the right person. Ace now understood that even if he went inside that door, he wouldn''t have died but now he couldn''t go inside even if he wanted to as Tian Cui was only able to summon it once.

 13 Shen Tiancai

    Ace was already aware of the Cultivation levels of this world but he found out that inferior techniques of this world had some limitations like the technique he got from Xiong hu and the Sevenfold Fist. Those techniques had limited potential and Ace was unwilling to cultivate those mediocre techniques. He also found out from Tian Cui that any expert above Lord realm would be able to tell if he is not the native of this plane because they will be able to break the space after that realm and would gain basic understanding of space element.


    there were several element attached to Spritual force like fire, earth, wind, water, ice, metal and many more rare element which would only appear at special places or can be cultiveted through special techniques, The one he got from Tian cui was also a special technique which would convert user''s Spritual force into fire attribute and one another attribute according to user''s physic.


    Tian cui''s master Meng yazhu had fire and violet attribute Spritual force and that''s why she was able to use violet fire and was named Violet Dragon empress. Tian Cui was able to cultivate fire and holy attribute because of her pure body and was able to utilize Jade fire and thus was named Jade snake empress.


    This technique was called Flame God''s fury.


    Ace found this name really dominating as he fell in love with this technique. He was always bad at naming things and he would often choose anything which had a good name, He believed that the name gives the first impression of someone and if name is good then the thing would be good too.


    He was about to start Cultivation of this Flame God''s Fury right away as he remembered another technique which was related to the Flame God''s fury but was external Cultivation technique which was called Rebirth Through Flames. Just the introduction of those two technique was enough to make Ace drool over them and they were available for him to cultivate! There was only one small paragraph in both books.


    ''The first attribute to appear in this Realm was Fire and through fire, a person can Become a God! this technique can allow a person without fire attribute bodyto cultivate fire attribute and those with fire attribute would become a God with this technique.''


    it was this paragraph in The first page of Flame God''s fury that attracted him to this technique.


    ''In the whole universe, there is one thing which is eternal! it''s only me! only I will survive and even the strongest fire won''t be able to burn me! I am Immortal Weapon Smith Yuan Long and this technique is my own creation which I created after getting inspiration from My Internal Cultivation art called Flame God''s fury, Welcome on the path of immortals!''


    This guy who wrote the Rebirth through Flames was even more dominating! It was expected as fire was a superior attribute which would also change personality of the user to be arrogant and dominant.


    Ace didn''t have any problem with this as he was already arrogant but he wasn''t a fool. He was cautious person and would think twice before doing anything.


    Tian Cui stood up and clapped her hands as Ace and Alice were both transferred outside the huge tree. " I am running out of time, I have one last thing remaining to do and that is to give you my other half of inheritance. That isn''t those treasures of course since you didn''t pass, but I will still help you as you listened to my story with patience. "


    She said as she looked at Ace " Can I enter your brain again? " she asked this time because Alice would again force her out of there if she tried to get inside without Ace''s permission.


    Ace chuckled at this as he smiled " Sure but it won''t harm me right? "


    " No it won''t, you will just feel a slight headache. "


    Tian Cui than directly went into his mind space from his forehead, she again saw the huge sun like white memory core, she looked like a tiny dust particle in front of it. Tian Cui then Fired a beam of light from her forehead which directly collided with the memory core and the beam was absorbed in it. it was memory of the experience of her''s and her master''s and all the other masters before them who cultiveted Flame God''s fury and Rebirth through Flames.


    This was true inheritance as only getting those techniques wasn''t Enough, Acewould never be able to cultivate properly if he followed the technique blindly and would be stuck on several bottle neck. This insight from previous users of the technique would help him understand the technique better and make his Cultivation smooth.


    Tian Cui then stood still in front of memory core thanking about something. " This guy has such a big brain capacity, he also passed learning test in such a short time. he is no doubt a genius and his name should also be like that" She was going to give him a new name as his master , she knew that when she transferred all the Cultivation experience of her predecessors into his mind, he would feel huge headache but Ace didn''t even notice and transfer was over which signified that he was a genius and his learning capability was inhumane!


    She then went into his heart space where his soul was located, this space was only available to those who had permission to enter by the owner of the space and as Ace didn''t even have those spaces before and this new space was recently developed because of his contact to the Spritual force which helped him evolve. It was that''s why easy for Tian Cui to enter this as she only dared to enter because Ace wasn''t aware of this existence of heart space. He a person was aware then his soul would attack anyone who tried to enter this space as if someone took over this place then he or she would be able to control the person just like ghost possessing humans.


    In most of the cases, Ghosts would face an attack from the soul of owner of the body which would significantly weaken them so ghost would rarely try to enter here.


    Tian Cui saw a white soul which had two ballsin the center in which one had lightning and other had blinding white light.


    Tian Cui was surprised as it was really rare to see a person with dual attribute and it was even more insanely rare to see someone with light attribute! this was a legendary attribute which was said to come in existence just after the fire and was supposedly stronger than fire by several folds. This was because light attribute had only one counter which was darkness attribute and that attribute was also as rare as light attribute. this was why anyone with these two attributes were able to beat back any other attribute users without much problems as other elements weren''t able to counter them properly.


    As for lighting attribute, Tian cui was even more surprised as this wasn''t a normal lighting which should be yellow but this was a beautiful rainbow colored lightning! this was hevenly tribulation thunder!? How can this guy absorb Hevenly tribulation!? he even aquired the Hevenly Thunder attribute! Truly a monster! No, even monsters won''t be this scary, he was a God! a Godly Genius!


    Tian Cui shivered at the though that when Ace cultiveted Fire God''s fury, he would gain Fire attribute which would compliment his thunder and Light attribute! She didn''t even dare to imagine how strong he would become. " Maybe, he can reach that Mythical Realm of The Gods " She looked at the soul as she reached out with her finger and a beam of green fire energy like a plasma cutter appeared in her hand as carved few words on his soul.


    Ace suddenly felt as if someone was pulling his heart out and there was also a feeling that he was being pressed under a huge hand as he directly collapsed near the huge tree.


    Tian Cui wrote two words on his soul, first was Shen which meant God and other was Tiancai which means Genius. This was his new name and from now on he would be known as Shen Tiancai! the Godly Genius! He wasn''t Ace of the Humanity anymore.

 14 Barbarian Queen Tei wu

    Ace stood up exhausted as the feeling of weakness finally subsided. He looked around but he couldn''t find Tian Cui anymore and he was still having difficulty in breathing.


    " Cough! Alice, what happened? Where is Tian Cui? "


    [ Master, The soul remnant exhausted it''s energy while changing your name,There is a good news though as I was able to absorb some of her memory fragments before she died but I can not decode this memory as I have no prior experience with this.]


    " Why would you decode this memory? what''s the catch? "


    [ Master, do you remember about that door? maybe we can get information about how to open that gate and take those treasures ]


    " Hmm, that''s good, you did a good job Alice, now scan Fire God''s Fury and tell me best method to cultivate to mortal Realm. "


    [ I''ve already analyzed the memory of inheritance and the technique explained in the Technique. There was a Cultivator who used a Crimson blood ore in his Cultivation with a medicine and he had stronger body than any other users of this technique, there was a girl who absorbed Moon glow perl and her body became good conductor of spritual force, she always had supreme control over her Spritual force and lastly Tian Cui''s Master, Meng yazhu used A technique named ''Rising star blue sun'' which upgraded her flames to blue flames which are a grader stronger than yellow flames, it was also because of this technique that she was called violet dragon as in the final form, her flames were strongest and had violet color to it.]


    " All three methods are good, what about meterials? Can we get those two meterials you mentioned before? "


    [ Crimson Blood ore is not a rare metal but once you absorb this ore, you will have to continue absorbing all the kind of different metals in your body to make it even more stronger. I don''t recommend this as this will make you look like a brutal barbarian with only muscles and no brains, master you look handsome as you are so don''t use this technique. ]


    Ace''s face twitch a little " I..I get it, now what about this Moon glow Pearl? "


    " We already have this meterial, I am 95% sure that this Moon glow Pearl has High concentration of Fupralt and Lestalt. we can get them from plants and even human dead body here which has these two substances. Deus Blood strengthening drugs also has these two meterials. we can get them once we go back to ship or you can harvest it easyly from that piggy gang ]


    " You mean Iron boar gang? "


    [ They are piggy gang in front of my master hehe, ]


    " But isn''t killing for resources a bad thing? I don''t kind killing them as they are also doing the exact same thing but.. "


    [ Master don''t need to worry, We can also harvest Fupralt and Lestalt From dead Mortal level boars which had those Spritual cores ]


    Animals in this world also had same strength system as humans so they were divided into levels like mortal, apprentice, master and like that but they didn''t have any Cultivation technique and were able to cultivate because of their bloodline.


    " That''s good but I remember now, I changed your default settings for personality, is that why you are so lively?"


    [ Yes Master ]


    ......


    Deep inside the Forrest there was a huge castle like structure made of wood near a lake. Inside the palace were many buildings in which some were for people to live in and some were for different activities such as cooking, Barracks, Prison and many more butthere were three Large buildings which had hundreds of pigs in them, some were baby pigs and some were huge boars with dangerous looking teeth.


    There was a majestic building in the middle which looked like a palace and there was only a single pig inside. There was a person standing close to this red pig and was feeding the pig with meat with different mixture of vegetables.


    Dong An was cautious ever since his gang was attacked by Ace and no matter how much Gang leader asked him to go out and Rob the village, he would only give one answer " I won''t go out unless you find out who that guy was. Find him out and either kill him or make him leave this Forrest. I don''t want him anywhere near my babies! " He yelled at the thin bandits who was here to invite Dong An on behalf of Gang leader.


    Thin bandit then went back and reported this to his gang leader who was sitting inside a huge room dug inside a Cave in nearby mountain. Leader of this gang was actually a Women! She looked buffed up and had six packs. She was wearing two huge shoulder guards made of skull of Boars with spikes like teeth on them.she was wearing a black top made of black fur of an unknown animal and her skirt was made of bear skin which was up covering her knees perfectly, she had black hair tied in a pony tail and she had a beautiful face of a mature woman who would capture heart of a men with one look. With her Ocean like blue eyes, she looked at this thin subordinate of hers as he was shivering from just one look of hers.


    " Gang leader, Dong An again refuse to come out " The poor guy bowed to her as he suddenly felt a gust of wind near his neck. a huge axe passed by in blink of an eye with a swoosh sound and with boom, it got stuck in the cave wall behind him. He was fully covered in sweat from head to toe and was shivering from the shear bloodlust of this barbarian Queen.


    That''s right, the women was named Tei Wu. She was from Barbarian Clan which lived far away in a desert. She was exiled and when she came here, she established this gang and ruled with her Axe! those who followed her would bow to her and those who didn''t would see their head roll. She was only enduring Dong An because he was important person who was able to tame boars which was great help to her gang.


    It wasn''t that no one opposed this rule of a woman in Male dominated society, there were several bandit groups from nearby areas which tried to take out this newly established gang just because their leader was a female but they soon real meaning of horror.


    Barbarians focused on external martial arts and Tei Wu was already at third level of Martial Mortal stage! A third level Martial Mortal was different than a third level Spirit Mortal. Although internal Cultivation was stronger than external Cultivation, it only showed it''s strength in later stages of Cultivation and only after becoming a Spirit Apprentice would one see rise in strength campared to External Cultivation. This was because at Apprentice stage, A person would be able to pour his Spritual force in weapons and cut down body of a Martial Apprentice easyly. No matter how strong you were, you won''t be able to take a sword with spiritual force head on.


    This was the reason why Tei Wu was strong as unless a disciple broke through Apprentice level, they won''t be allowed to go out of sect and thus the Forrest only had some wondering Cultivators and bandit gangs who cultiveted low level Internal Cultivation techniques.


    Tei Wu on other hand had earth attribute body which made her body strong from birth and because her clan was somewhat stronger than average in dessert, she had external Cultivation technique which complicated her earth attribute body and this made her so strong that she was unbeatable in this small Forrest.


    She was named as Barbarian Queen by small bandit groups and iron boar gang soon took over many villages and beat back strong gangs in the area by her strength alone.


    She walked past the shivering bandit and grabbed the handle of the huge war axe as she pulled it out of the cave wall with a single hand which had well developed muscles like a weight lifting athlete. She wasn''t too much buffed and was perfect figure which was admired by many but none dared to make a move on her as all those who tried were dead or crippled.


    Huge waraxe was then put on the saddle on her back which was near her waist and she hung it there horizontally. The axe was made of special black iron which was named Dread Iron. This iron was found in dessert where special cactus like tree would bear a fruit which was made of this dread Iron once every year. Each and every single warrior would get specialized weapon by clan and this waraxe was Tei Wu''s weapon.


    She came out of the cave and looked at her gang " Looks like those fool have forgotten about me and they think that those boars are the real strength of my Iron boar gang then I would like to remind them again that whoever goes against my gang would end up dead. "


    Tei Wu then turned around and looked at her subordinate " Bring me This secret warrior, mobilize all the forces and search each and every village, tell other gangs to search for him and if anyone refuse, kill them all! "


    She was going to show the real strength of her iron boar gang which was the ruler of the Black boar Forrest for last Ten years!

 15 Baptism of Spritual Force and Recurve Flux!

    Ace was sitting on Forrest floor on grass and his surrounding had many trees which gave him shade. The atmosphere was calm and gentle cool breeze made it perfect spot to rest as there was also chirping of birds which made Ace''s mind more calm.


    He was trying to control the spiritual force in the atmosphere which he won''t be able to control before when he just came to this new universe but after getting dues enhancement drug, his body was reborn and it had enough Fupralt and Lestalt which were essential for controlling the Spritual energy. He decided against absorbing more of it as he discovered something new from the memory which was that by including too much of those substance in his body, he would absorb huge amount of spiritual force and here there was a problem.


    his cells which had Deus enhancement were able to absorb some amount of spritual force but if he introduced more of Fupralt and Lestalt, then the Spritual energy which would invade his body would be too much for him to handle and he would just feel heavy pain if not explode like a balloon.


    it was like you had good software but your hardware was old gen so no if you want to improve your hardware in one shot then you would need to change whole thing and buy a new one. Ace believed that he won''t make his body impure unless necessary as he decided not to use this technique.


    His only option now was to cultivate Normally which would change his body bit by bit at slow speed and he would be able to upgrade his body eventually.


    He again asked Alice about how he can make this process faster.


    [ You can find environment filled with the attribute you have and cultivate there which would eventually make your progress faster. ]


    " Okey, note down three tasks. Find out what are my attribute and which place would be best for Cultivation. Second, how I can contact the Titanium Dragon as I need some help with iron boar gang and Third.....I need a badass weapon! "


    [ Yes Master ]


    ...


    Huiju Village


    whole village was transformed into a battlefield as iron boar gang took over whole village to set up an Ambush on Ace. There were crossbow man on each and every house''s roof and all of them had huge shields in which the crossbow could fit which would make them stationary crossbow firing tanks.


    There were also few men patrolling around the village who had scars on their faces and were carrying different kinds of weapons.


    In village chief''s house, there was a temporary throne made of stone on which Tei Wu was seated. She looked at the village chief " You said he won''t return, you don''t even know where he is or what his name is? tell me, why should I keep you alive? "


    " Because this village is already under your control, we have nothing to do with the person and we just did some trade and barter with him. You can not kill the village just because of that"


    village chief was beaten up pretty badly and had bruises all over as he finally admitted that he knew that person. When Tei Wu ordered the search, one of the bandit which escaped with Dong An told her that the cloths were somewhat similar to huiju village and that led to this development.


    Tei wu told Dong An about this but the guy still refused to cooperate.


    She was helpless as this kind of stubborn and cowered people were the ones she hated the most! If not for Dong An''s talent in taming, she would have long since split apart his body in two!


    She liked to went her frustration by being alone as she took her Axe and went deep inside the Forrest to calm down and rest.


    As she was walking, she suddenly saw a handsome young man sitting on the ground few hundred meters away from her as she stopped and observed for a while. She suddenly gasped in shock as the light around the boy warped in weird way as it went inside his body and his body suddenly produced an illusion as if his body was on fire. This was Ace who was finally able to start Cultivation of Fire God''s Fury and as for suitable Cultivation spot, Alice told him that as his attributes were Lightning and Light. he would be able to cultivate light attribute easily as he could cultivate in any area that had light. This was benefit of having Light attribute and Darkness attribute which were two super rare attribute as they only needed day for light and night for darkness.


    Tei Wu was shocked because she had seen a genius of her clan who was conferred future king of the alliance of the Barbarian clans just because he had this exact same light element! Coupled with furious heat of the desert which would give clear light all year round, His Cultivation speed was like a rocket! he was able to break through to the Martial Apprentice level before age of 16!


    She was shocked to find another such kind of talent here in the Forrest out of nowhere. She silently approached Ace as she wanted to catch this guy and make him into her subordinate so that her gang would grow even stronger. She would always try to recruit strong warriors in the gang so that she can have some help when fight happened. After all her strength alone wasn''t enough always.


    Ace suddenly opened his eyes and the strange phenomenon stopped as he exhaled mouthful of turbid air.


    He felt like he had taken some kind of super spicy food! his whole body felt like it was on fire but it didn''t make him uncomfortable but rather, he felt like he was taking a shower with warm water as fire attribute Spritual force and light attribute Spritual force went inside his body. there wasn''t much lightning attribute nearby so he decided to cultivate lightning attribute by using his Mini Oblivion reactor later. He had already given the task of detaching the reactors from the Juggernaut prime to his nano bots as he didn''t have required tool right now.


    He had hidden the Juggernaut prime armor inside the strange tree as it was a safe place and no one would visit the area.


    He finally broke through to the first level of Spirit Mortal as there was pure while flame on his whole body which gave off sun like glow which burned all the black impurities that came out of his body. Even his cloths were burned as he was now covered in simple metal inner armor which he made from spare Juggernaut prime parts. He knew that Juggernaut prime would be useless once he took out the mini Oblivion reactor so he decided to use all that metal into making something productive. He developed a simple inner armor from armor plating which was even able to take hits of a tank shell because of toughness of the metal used.


    There was also a weapon by his side which was a Crossbow. This wasn''t a normal crossbow though as it had superior quality meterials and there was even an inbuilt Shield which would protect user on the press of a button. He made this crossbow for two reasons as First, he didn''t like going into dangerous area which was close combat. He still remember the feeling of his inner organs rupturing when Xiong Kong hit him. that wasn''t a good feeling.


    Second reason was that if he had a thermal weapon, then it would need explosive powder which he won''t be able to procure much but with crossbow, he could craft as many arrows as he needed with trees around him.


    This crossbow was also superior as it could fire three arrows at different angles once he took aim with his mind as there was a chip attached to this bow which would transmit the targeting system to his brain and he won''t have to manually adjust the angles and everything. He would just have to glance at Target once and press the switch on the bow to fire the arrows and it was also able to fire rapidly like a Machine gun and had a square shaped magazine attached on the lower end which would house 15 arrows and he had four more of this kind of magazines which he was able to change when one was empty like a gun. This meant that he would just have to look at the Target and press the button to turn it into porcupine!


    Crossbow was named Recurve Flux because it''s design was similar to a same named crossbow developed in his universe to use on a planet which was had high amount of Hydrogen gas and if you used heat based weapn, then you would blow yourself up first. This was the reason humans designed this bow so that they can kill the beasts on the planet without producing heat.


    He took the bow into his hand and aimed at the tree behind which Tei Wu was hiding as an arrow was nailed in the tree with a thud sound.


    Tian wu came out with her war Axe in her hand as she looked at Ace " Warrior, you are in my territory. State your name and intention and I might spare you for attacking me. "


    Ace looked at her with calm expression " I am Shen Tiancai and I don''t think I need to tell you why I am here you stalker " He smiled as he aimed the crossbow at her and was ready to fire the arrow. Alice had Notified him of her arrival which almost caused him to fail in his Cultivation and that was why he was a little mad at this stalker.

 16 Captured

    Tei Wu looked at the weird crossbow as she tried to move but unexpectedly, the arrow was always pointed at her and she noticed that the young man''s hand didn''t even move.


    She was a Third rank martial mortal and her body was also strong because of her earth attribute as she could block normal arrows with her body but this crossbow made her feel as if a beast was staring at her, ready to take her life at any second. She only remember feeling like this when she had fought Darkness Scorpion in the dessert region. It was an apprentice level monster and back then, it was killed by her brother but she still remember the Menacing look which made her feel fear for the first time.


    she looked at the young man as she took out her Axe and put her in front of her " Boy, I am not here to stalk you, I was just taking a stroll around the Forrest and happen to meet you by coincidence. "


    Ace was a little sceptical as he put away his arrow, he told Alice to scan the girl before hand and now that her intelligence was upgraded, she was able to determine someone''s Cultivation from their aura alone.


    [ Master, she is 3rd rank Martial Mortal and have earth attribute, your chances of beating her are only 56% ]


    For Ace who valued his life, those numbers were not enough. He decided to clam down and talk it out first, if she attacked then he would have no choice but to fight.


    " Fine, I believe you,qqq now go back to wherever you came from. " Ace put away his crossbow which folded it''s arms inside and whole crossbow became a rectangle block which Ace mounted on his left hand as his right hand already had the 3D printer.


    As he was about to go away, he felt a gust of wind besides his ear as he quickly turned around but it was too late, Alice could determine her Cultivation level and her attribute but she wasn''t able to determine which Cultivation technique Tei Wu practiced as Tei Wu used a movement type technique and hit Ace in the head with her fist.


    Ace was hit really hard but because he had memory core which was way bigger than normal human, he won''t pass out normally from just impact on his head, this was one of the advantage of having improved memory core!


    ........


    After few minutes, Ace was laying on ground covered in bruises all over while Tei wu was sitting besides him with a hole in her left arm which was done by only one arrow that managed to hit her.


    Ace knew that Tei Wu didn''t want to hurt him and just wanted to capture him but how can he allow that? It would be a shame if he left a girl capture him without any resistance! He thus tapped gently on his right arm which had the Recurve Flux and it instantly because a crossbow which he was just about aim at Tei Wu when she abruptly changed her angle and kicked the bow with her leg. Ace was only able to fire one arrow when his hand was kicked so hard that it dislocated from the joint and he fell on ground as he lost the feeling in his left hand.


    Tei Wu was hit in her left hand and arrow was so fast that made a hole and came out from other side! This naturally made the beauty angry and she beat Ace up to relive her ''pain''


    Ace clenched his teeth as he looked at her " You took me by surprise! let me go! Fight me fair and square and we will see who beats whom! "


    Tei Wu looked him as she smirked like a devil " Do you know why I beat you up? , it was because of your cloths. You are the mysterious warrior that blew up my Gang''s pigs, aren''t you? "


    " My gang? you are from iron boar gang? " Ace didn''t panic as he still had a way to get out of this situation as he was just waiting for Nenobots in his body to fix his body and he would then be able beat her back. " Yes, I was the one. what are you going to do about it? i just stole a Cultivation book in front of that pig riding fatty and he decided to chase after me, so you tell me what would I do? you both are stalkers! why won''t I beat someone up if they are stalking me and have bad intention? "


    Tei Wu then swung her war Axe and stopped it just a cm away from his neck " I don''t care, you will come with me to my gang and give me compansation, or else don''t even think of leaving this place alive. " She didn''t kill him or she didn''t dare to kill him as he was a light attribute person and for this kind of person, sects would easily take them in. If she killed a genius of a sect then her gang would be finished. she also saw his crossbow which was surprisingly able to burst a hole in her tough body as she was even more convinced that he was from a sect.


    she then decided to ask for compansation and let him go instead of killing him so she tied him up and dragged him through Forrest up to her base, all the way Ace was quite and was able to feel his wound healing at faster speed because it was still day and he was able to absorb sunlight which in turn filled his body with Spritual energy and his cells now divided at faster rate then normal human, which helped nano bots which were now able to heal his wounds without any raw material.


    Ace''s crossbow was taken away and he was put in a jail cell inside the village. Ace was now almost healed but as he was inside the jail cell, he couldn''t absorb that much sunlight and healing process became slow again. he also didn''t have any weapon and his 3D printer won''t work without power from the mini Oblivion reactor. Only thing he can use was his body so he decided to try and use his new found strength.


    he concentrated on his body and felt that he was full of power, he was able to sense each and every single muscle in his body and this wasn''t because his Cultivation made him too strong but this was because, Spritual force also influenced his memory core which gave him better control over his own body and Spritual force. he was already better at controlling it then normal cultivators.


    Ace then guided the Spritual force to his index finger of right hand as told in the memory of the girl which took Moon Glow Pearl. she was able to take Spritual force out of her body even before she became a spirit apprentice. He also tried to do the same and surprisingly his finger started shining like it was some kind of torch! there was tiny white flame on his finger which was only few millimeters big and it couldn''t get away from his finger more than few Millimeters.


    This was less then the girl from his memory as she was able to form a flame at least one inch long above her finger but even if it was only Millimeters long, it was enough for Ace.


    He then put his finger near steel bar of the jail and it started heating up, the process took too long and temp didn''t go high enough that it can cut the steel bar so Ace was forced to stop the process.


    " What should I do? maybe concentration of flame is not enough, wait what if I also pour light attribute with flames? "


    He again made tiny flame on his finger but this time it wasn''t flickering like before and he slowly started to control it, suddenly the flame got thinner and thinner from covering his whole finger to only covering the center of his index finger and it looked like a white needle made of light.


    He gently put this needle like flame against the steel bar and it cut through the steel bar like as knife through butter! by combination of light and fire, he was able to produce laser like flame which was enough hot to cut the Steen bar and it was now an inch long instead of just few millimeters.


    He swore that he would never give his enemy a chance to get into close combat ever again.

 17 Photon Disintegrator

    Ace cut all the bars of jail by the midnight as Tei Wu was still busy as she was studying his bow with some of her smarter subordinates. she was curious about how this thing works as no matter how much she tried, she couldn''t fire a single arrow from this thing.


    Ace silently approached the guards and knocked them out one by one as he retrieved his cloths and other important stuff, since his 3D printer was attached to his body, Tei Wu wasn''t able to take it off and let it stay with him as she thought it was a part of his body.


    She thought it was some kind of armor and since it did nothing, she just let him have it.


    Ace took his bag which had spare parts and different chips and metals which he took out from Juggernaut prime. He took out some special chips and parts and started organizing them on the table.


    He then pointed his 3D printer at the scattered parts as strange green light came out of it and like lasers sculpting a rock, those lasers were able to change into various colors, there was mini tractor beam which would lift different parts up and assemble them.


    " One more spare batter gone. "


    He used some special fuel cells to power his 3D printer so that he can use this even if he didn''t have Oblivion reactor but those cells were consumed rapidly. he consumed eight cells and made a strange glove like device, it had metallic surface on inside and all the kind of chips were attached to it but it''s outer surface looked just like a normal glove.


    This was a Thermal solar glove, Device which would covert heat and light into electricity and was pretty efficient in it''s operation. Ace quickly put on this glove and concentrate on the Spritual force in his body which made his hand heat up, this heat was absorbed by the glove which provided energy to the 3D printer and also charged three of the eight cells at the same time! But while doing this, his energy was depleted as he wasn''t yet so powerful, he was just on first stage Spirit Mortal.


    Ace then took those three fuel cells and inserted them in 3D printer which then released different coloured beam again and Ace focused the lights on a pile of yellow sand and a black metal piece besides it.


    Sand first melted because of heat and it was soon converted into glass and metal piece was also heated and it transformed into a round container shaped small cylinder. it had 4 cm radius and was only 2 cm in height.


    Glass which was yellow in color suddenly started rotating and all the impurities came out on the surface of the glass ball which were then removed by the tractor beam, the beam then concentrated on the glass which transformed into different kind of shapes and sizes and took shape of various kinds of lens. Those lens then floated around with green laser holding them in position and took their respective place in the metal cylinder. it looked like a honeycomb of different lens inside this metal piece.


    " Hmm, this thing should work. Now what name should I give it?, let me see, Solar laser? Light beam?, Beam extender? "


    [ Master, your naming sense is really poor, can I name it? ]


    Ace was embarrassed as heard Alice''s voice as he nodded " Fine, from now on I''ll leave the naming department to you "


    [ This device needs something special master ]


    Alice said that she controlled the 3D printer on his hand and the tractor beam then concentrated on the sand outside the jail door, there were different kind of pebbles there as few of the red tiny pebbles floated on the surface and quickly melted because of heat, it them became a red coating and was installed over the outer lens.


    " Why did you do that? that won''t enhance my device you know? "


    [ Master it''s also important to look cool, remember first impression is also your last impression. With this device you can wear it on your eyes and insert your fire and light attribute Spritual force into this thing which would then be transformed into a laser beam because of different lens, you would see a red laser beam fired from this thing instead of regular white and that will make you look cool master ]


    " I see, you are right but it''s not just for that purpose, I made it so that I don''t have to use 3D printer everytime, I use lots of spritual energy and super advanced 3D printer to make a simple gun or bow then it would be disrespectful to this technology. that is why I designed this thing so I can cut and weld things with laser like accuracy without using the 3D printer. "


    [ I know, I''ve decided on the name master, it should he called Photon Disintegrator ]


    " Wow, you are actually awesome at naming things "


    [ I know master, I know ]


    .....


    Tei wu was sitting on the throne as she looked at her subordinates discussing about the crossbow, she was getting treated with her wound as it was mostly healed because he body was strong to begin with and she also had special medicine of her clan, the animals in dessert were ferocious and if you were injured in dessert, it would mean certain death so many animals and insects had rapid healing ability, this was why her clan was able to kill those monster and make special medicine which would help humans heal faster.


    " I am telling you! it''s at least Apprentice level weapon! that is why we are unable to use this thing, if we kill that guy, then we can use it maybe "


    " Shut up! this is normal weapon, it doesn''t even have any Spritual force leaking from it, how can it be an apprentice level weapon? I say it''s either normal weapon or a Master level weapon made by a genius blacksmith who is able to completely hide it''s aura "


    " That''s not possible, only large sects has that kind of weapon Smith and this guy clearly is first rank mortal level "


    " What if he is hiding his strength? "


    " How can leader defeat him if he hiding his strength? didn''t you see how leader dragged him here with a dislocated shoulder? he is clearly a weakling who stole this weapon from somewhere "


    " Then how is he able to use thing and we can not? "


    " let''s ask him "


    " Yes let''s ask him "


    they all looked at Tei Wu as she nodded as she looked a huge baldy standing besides her " Go get him here, if he dares to resist then break his legs. "


    the baldy was about to leave as there came a voice which shook Tei Wu to the core " No need , I am already here " Ace was standing near the door of the building, this was village chief''s house but these bandits were using it like their own vacation house! Ace looked at Tei Wu coldly " Hand over my Crossbow and maybe I''ll spare you life " He said in cold voice as he still clearly remembered how his hand got dislocated with just one kick. this sexy lady was unexpectedly strong bit this time he won''t give her any chance!


    Tei wu saw that Ace was wearing something on his right eye, it was a round objective with red glass like thing in the middle, it made his one eye look like that of a beast. it was dark and the red lens was shining in blood like color which made Ace look even more terrifying and sinister.


    Tei Wu slowly reached out her hand to the side where her Axe was but suddenly Ace concentrated on the eye with Photon Disintegrator on and fired a red beam of light, it was so fast that Tei wu didn''t even have time to react and her hair near her neck were cut, She was so terrified that she froze and didn''t dare to touch her war Axe.


    Ace looked at all the bandits coldly " All of you, this is my village from now on, leave or else don''t blame me if your head rolls on the floor the next second. "


    Tei Wu calmed down as she looked at this Monster, he was alone capable of dealing with her whole gang with that crossbow alone as she had experienced it''s power first hand, now that he had another deadly device which was even more mysterious, she didn''t want to take the risk. After all, she had taken so long to grow her gang to this extent and she knew that she had hit a wall this time.


    " Okey, we will leave but there is one condition. "


    " what? you still want to discuss condition with me? "


    " This is reasonable as I am losing a whole village here and you also caused some losses to my gang, you must pay me back don''t you think so? " Tei Wu was gambling here as she knew this guy was young and was inexperienced. if it was an expert in apprentice Realm, she won''t dare to ask for negotiation and just directly leave.


    " What do you want? " Ace thought that it was reasonable since she made her lose so many pet boars and also hurt her in her hand, he knew that any normal person would kill him but she didn''t so he also decided to reconcile.


    " I want a bow like that, if you can give me the bow, I''ll promise I won''t enter this village again but there will be other gangs who would try to take over this village once I declare that I am no longer controlling this village, so if you can give me that kind of bow then we can forget the grudge and I would continue to protect this village from harm."


    Ace thought a little as he looked at her " This bow is too expansive, I can make you another one as good as this because I don''t even have meterials, but I can upgrade your current weapons, how about that? "


    yes! Tei Wu yelled in her mind as negotiation were finally successful! Her gang avoided a calamity and now they would even benefit from it. For her, an additional village was not as important as a better weapon!

 18 Dragons eyes and Phantom bone chopper

    Ace would always be alone in his room which was specially made for him by bandits in the village in one day, it was a simple house with wooden walls and wooden roof on top. Ace had given them the design in which it was really efficient to make and since the trees around the black boar Forrest were huge and had lots of timber in them, this kind of design of house was even more easy to make. it was enough sturdy and would last 10 to 20 years without maintenance.


    Ace was sitting on a wooden chair and was studying the next page of Fire God''s fury. He also wanted to cultivate Rebirth through Flames but the person who wrote it, The immortal blacksmith Yuan Long put a seal on it, only if you become rank 1 Apprentice blacksmith of any kind then you can cultivate this technique. This was because you needed a strong support of spritual force to sustain the rapid growth in your body. this technique was no doubt able to make a snake into a dragon but that snake must be healthy enough first to become a strong dragon.


    Ace also remember that Tian Cui talked about something called Dragon''s eyes, he didn''t even know what it was back then as he didn''t pay attention but now he had some time to think about it. he was supposed to enhance the weapons of bandits but he just said that it will take some time and locked himself in this house so that he can use their resources for his benefit for long amount of time.


    He then searched the inheritance memory for the answer and the answer he received was so shocking that his hands started trembling! So this is Dragon eyes!? how can such a thing exist?


    this was expected as anything related to dragons was Strong. There was a saying about dragon eyes. " An Emperor dragon is worth More than five Emperor level humans " When a flood Dragon reaches age of adult, it''s body would stop becoming stronger but it''s Spritual force would continue to grow and some genius can even become emperor class Dragons! When killed, Emperor class Dragons would have three valuable things on their body. First would be their soul which can make all kinds of Heven shaking Weapons and Medicines! Second was it''s it''s body in which, it''s skin can make legendary armours which can even withstand attacks of Emperor level experts and it''s blood and flesh were like treasures for alchemists!


    the last thing which is least valuable but super rare are Dragon eyes. They would only form when a dragon is a peak emperor level expect! An existence near Demigod Level! it would stop developing it''s soul when it reaches at ninth stage emperor level and guide all of it''s soul force which only experts above king level can cultivate towerds it''s eyes, this was because when breaking through demigod level, it needs stronger body, the body which stopped developing at adulthood is not strong enough for it to become Demigod.


    It can strengthen any part of it''s body but it would start from eyes as with improved eyesight, and a dragon''s soul, it can support the huge amount of consumption of spritual force which Dragon''s eyes required. There were two reasons why Dragon''s eyes were least important campared to other parts of a dragon.


    First, Dragon''s eyes required enormous amount of energy to keep them working at full force which any other being except for Dragons would find really hard to do. even human emperor level expert can only use Dragon eyes for a month before they deplete their Spritual force and that was when they keep Cultivating at the same time to replanish the lost energy.


    Second, It''s not that much useful. Dragon''s eyes gives it''s user two powers in which first is to see dead, Spritual force, various kinds of energy, it can even allow user to see invisible things and different ghost or spirits which only some special people can see. This was it''s passive ability which would consume less amount of spritual force and can be activated at all the times but as Ace wasn''t strong enough, he was unable to use even this passive ability. It would be possible to use this ability once he becomes Apprentice level.


    Second ability of Dragon''s eyes was active ability which once activated, it can allow user to enter a special state of mind in which user would be able to notice each and every single around him like an Omniscient God! user would be able toeach and every single detail around them and this ability was not that much useful to Warriors as the cost was too high and before you can defeat your Opponent, you would run out of gas.


    Instead this ablility was most important for different professionals. There were four main professions in this world which were alchemists, blacksmiths, Inscription users and Array creation. there were many other professions but they weren''t as important as these four. Alchemists were divided into many parts like herbalist, Pharmacist, doctor, poison master, alchemists and more. Blacksmiths also had sub types which were in two main category, Weapon Smith and Armor Smith.


    Inscription users were able to inscribe various inscriptions but today no one would specialize only in inscription as they would take inscription user as sub job with either weapon Smith or armor Smith. today all the weapon Smith and armor Smith would also be same rank inscription masters.


    the last talent which was array users were rare and anyone proficient in this art would be really wealthy.


    Dragon''s eyes would allow all four of the professions to become omniscient and they would see each and every flow and detail of their creation which would help them breakthrough to the next rank of their respective professions!


    Ace was astonished to hear this as he couldn''t even imagine becoming omniscient in his own universe. Being able to see the back of your head!? that''s only possible with a camera! it''s not something a human can do! but wait, this wasn''t the same Universe he was from! this is the world where anything is possible!


    Ace clenched his fist as he was now even more determined to reach Apprentice level!


    ...


    Four days passed like that in the blink of an eye as Ace was sitting in the house of Village leader, the poor guy''s house was being treated like public property and it was converted into a throne room by bandits, all the important members of the gang were present and Dong An was sitting opposite to Ace. Dong An finally was ready to come here and meet Ace as he heard that Ace would make new weapons for the gang, according to Tei Wu, Ace would stay in village and won''t attack iron boar gang unless someone provokes him or hurts people of huiju village.


    Ace looked at different weapons on the table as he stood up and walked towerds the table and lifted a crossbow. it had inbuilt magazine like his bow and it was also able to shoot rapidly, the only thing it didn''t have was auto aim mechanism as even if he installed it, the bandits won''t be able to use it because it required electricity.


    That was why he kept the design simple and made strong crossbow with huge amount of power and long range. It could have magazine of 15 arrows at a time and he had made 30 such bows, he also gave them 90 spare magazines so four magazines for each bow.


    Tei Wu nodded " You did a good job Mister Shen, I like those bows but what about my axe? I don''t see anything new in it"


    Ace smiled as he lifted the huge axe which was really heavy even for him, he tried to keep it''s weigh as it was before as weight of the weapon was important factor for a warrior.


    He was a prideful man and he planned to take path of weapon Smith to the end! He was already able to design weapons of mass destruction when he was 10 years old so how can his weapon which was custom made for this warrior for the first time after coming to this new universe be mediocre?


    He went all out on this Axe as he even thought that this Axe was better than his own Crossbow. He gently pressed a red button on the handle of the double edged War axe as two huge flaps of metals on both side opened and then metal plates which came out of the flaps connect to other two on the opposite side of the blade, now the Axe looked like a huge shield! It only took a split second to deploy this shield.


    he then pressed the button again as the Axe returned to normal. There were total of three such buttons on the axe.


    Tei wu was smiling like a child got a new toy but she patiently waited to learn the other function, she even walked to the table from her seat to observe closely.


    Ace then looked at and said " Look, this button here is something special, it can do a special attack which you can only use three times. look this thing here" He pointed at the round Crystal at the bottom of the handle of Axe as he pulled it and it pulled out like when you pull back an injection. It was attached to a piston inside the handle which would suck the air into Ace when you pulled and would compress the air as you pushed the nob at the bottom of the Axe, the compressed air would be then used to raise the speed of the axe in the middle of an attack when the second button was pressed, compressed air was enough for three attacks " after three attacks, you can charge up the by pulling and pushing this nob like this, when you feel that you can no longer pull it, you should stop as the Axe is fully charged. " he looked at Tei Wu as he handed her the axe " here try it " Tei Wu was really excited as she couldn''t even imagine what kind of power would be produced if her Axe was accelerated in mid attack, the enemy won''t even have time to react when his head would be chopped off!


    She took the Axe and just pressed the button without swinging it as she wanted to see how much force it can produce on it''s own. Sudden from the holes on the pole, swoosh sound came as Tei Wu felt like axe would fly out of her hand so she gripped the axe more firmly as because of centrifugal force, axe slammed onto the table on which Axe was placed and it was split in two like it was made of paper, splinters of wood flew everywhere as table was pulverized into small fragments!


    Ace looked at this as he smiled because he was satisfied with his creation. After all this was only a mortal level weapon but it could even kill peak level mortals with it''s strength and if sneak attacked, it can even injure spirit Apprentice level warrior!


    Tei Wu was shocked as first two functions of this Axe were so amazing that they would help her perfectly in battle.


    " What about third button? what does it do? "


    Ace had a huge smile on his face as he was waiting for this question. He smiled as he looked at her " See for your self, wear this before pressing it " he gave her a metal gauntlet like glove which had metal scales on it like dragon. It had a symbol on it''s back of the hand which was a capital A. This signified that it was made by him.


    Tei Wu put on the glove and pressed the third button as on both sides, blades of Axe suddenly extended and whole axe became a round disk, the disk then started rotating at insane speed!


    Two Wu was astonished as Two hooks came out of the handle of the Axe and were attached to her hand, the glove then became a part of the axe!


    Ace pointed at the tree 50 meters away outside " aim for that tree and press the third button again, if you don''t want to release it then press the first button as it would stop, this attack also uses compressed air so it can rotate like this for about 10 minutes, it''s speed would slow down with time so this isn''t it''s Maximum speed. the earlier you launch, the better. "


    Tei Wu looked at the tree and pressed the third button as the round rotating disk which was 10 kg heavy flew like a frisbee, it was faster then frisbee as it struck the tree and cut up to half of the thinkness of the tree. There was a strong attached to the center of the disk. after the attack was done, strong pulled the disk back as it again came back into it''s position and because normal axe again.


    " You can only use this attack once or use faster swings three time, the more there is , the stronger the attack "


    Tei Wu suddenly hugged Ace so hard that crackling sound was heard " Little guy! you are awesome! "


    of course Ace was little guy for her as she was almost 7 feet tall.


    " What is it called? "


    " It''s called ..."


    [ Phantom Bone chopper! ]


    " Yes, it''s called phantom Bone chopper "

 19 Revenge

    Swoosh! Thud! boom!


    Some distance away from Black Boar Forrest, there was huge battle as arrows and daggers were flying everywhere! There was sound of stabbing, cutting, arrows hitting bodies and limbs being split apart! This kind of bloody battle would only happen if two sides had irreconcilable grudge against each other.


    " Die!! "


    There was a huge brute with a scar on his chest in shape of + and there were even some wounds which were because of arrows.


    He had a huge Hammer in his hand which he was swinging with both hands as everytime someone came in the hammer''s way, hammer would pulverize the body of enemy like a watermelon! Three bandits were hit by this hammer in which two instantly died and one was seriously injured even after he escaped the range of the hammer. The shockwave was so strong that his internal organs were injured and he coughed mouthful of blood.


    Huge Brite stomped on the skull of the bandit and finished his life in next second. He then put his hammer near his face and blocked the arrow as he threw a dagger at the far away Archer. Dagger was so fast that Archer didn''t even have time to dodge before dagger when inside his neck! Dead!


    A roar echoed in distance as a huge boar with fully black body charged at a building and collapsed it as many people inside were crushed inside.


    there were boars everywhere, 30 people were standing besides a woman in a formation as whoever came even 30 meters close to them died with an arrow to their head. 30 meters around this woman was death Zone in which there were so many dead people that blood colored the whole area red.


    Huge brute charged towerds the central building which was protected by armoured barbarians. Woman was 100 meters away from this huge building which was made of sand stone as she looked at an old man on top of the building " Pan Shan! surrender or else your whole clan would get wiped out today! "


    the old man pan Shan was a tall guy whose arms were as thick as thighs of a normal adult. He had white mustache which extended up to his chin and on his head his hairs were tied together with a string.


    " Tei wu! how dare you go against the seven clans!? you know you are exiled and still dared to come back! you even attacked my clan! do you think I am not going to do anything just because you are leader''s daughter!? " Pei shan suddenly had a smirk on his face as he looked at her " oh, I mean former leader hehe. that old guy is long dead and I am the leader now "


    Tei Wu looked at the old man on the building as she walked forward as the crossbowman around her put on shields on their crossbows and covered her from arrows. when she reached 30 meters near the building, she stopped " Pei shan, I suspected you at first but now I am sure that you were the one that killed my father. I''ll kill you my self today! "


    Pei shan laughed after hearing this " You!? I am at Martial Mortal level 7 and you are only level 3, do you think you can beat me? i have metal attribute which is even stronger than earth attribute. So just go back right now and I''ll just extend your punishment, if not then today you will die! " Pei shan then directly jumped down from the building as he stood in front of Tei Wu like a huge mountain. he was only 10 meters away as Tei Wu waved her hand to her subordinates. all the archers protecting her suddenly backed away.


    This was a fight between the leaders of both sides as everyone stopped fighting to look at this fight. Pei shan with his huge saber and Tei Wu with her huge black war axe ran towerds each other and their weapons collided with each other!


    * Clang!!! Boom!!*


    Sand flew everywhere as there was huge shockwave like two cars collided with each other at full speed! Pei shan was shocked as this Tei Wu was a 6th rank Martial Mortal! how can this be? she didn''t even have any expert by her side so how can she Become so strong in one month!?


    He had planted spies in her iron boar gang which reported to him monthly on her and her gang''s strength as he didn''t bother to attack her because she was only rank 3 a month before.


    Unfortunately he didn''t have much time to think as Tei Wu attacked again with her Axe with a vertical chop! Pei shan put his saber in front of him to party the blow and he planned to kick her in stomach after that but suddenly the axe strangely made a Whoosh! it accelerated!? How can it accelerate in mid swing!?


    he quickly backed away a little as the power of Axe was so strong that it directly broke his saber in two! Ace''s weapon wasn''t just for the show! it''s sharpness was not something normal Weapon Smith can produce!


    Axe Still grazed his chin a little and it started bleeding. Pei shan quickly jumped back as he knew there was something wrong with this Tei Wu! Did she learn a new technique? how can that be?


    He was still confused but Tei Wu already rushed over again as she didn''t even give him any chance to breathe! This was the person that killed her father with a scheme! this was the person who was responsible for her exiled status! She was determined to kill him today! She turned her body in circle on the spot like a tornado and swung her huge axe horizontally as it made a woosh sound while splitting the air.


    Tei wu pressed the button again as Axe accelerated once more and pei shan was forced to dodge again. He was an experienced fighter but because he underestimated Tei wu, he was forced into a corner. He could not dodge anymore as behind him was wall of the building. there was only one way, it was to block! He put his round shield against the Axe quickly before it hit him.


    * Boooom! crack!! *


    the shield was split in half and Axe left a nasty cut on Pei Shan''s waist. He quickly kicked with full force towerds Tei Wu as like she already knew this would happen, she pressed the first button on her Axe and it transformed into a huge shield which protected her from the impact. she was still forced to take two step back which gave Pei shan some time to breathe.


    Pei shan knew he was in danger but he didn''t panic and took out his backup dagger as her Axe would leave some openings everytime she attacked which he would be able to hit with light Weapon like his dagger.


    He was waiting for her to swing her Axe again but suddenly Ace transformed from shield to a rotating blade with made hmmmmm sound.


    it was rotating fast but Pei Shan wasn''t panicked as he didn''t think that this Axe was a ranged Weapon too!


    * Wooosh!! Chhiiii!!! Splat!! Thud *


    Rotating axe blade flew from the axe like a disk with a Whoosh as it alarmed pei shan and he was truly scared to his core! damn! He put up his dagger hastily as with a chhiii sound it stopped the rotating disk for a split second before the disk broke the dagger as disk directly collided with Pei Shan''s chest and it broke his ribs while splitting his heart in two! Blood from his heart flew like a fountain and his lifeless body fell on the ground with a thud.


    Sun was shining on endless dessert as today the dessert was fully red because of the blood. This wasn''t a normal battle but a war between clans, in which today Hakkar clan was no more.


    On the Battlefield there were ruined huts and Houses everywhere, some of the houses were burned and some were empty as all the residents were dead. Huge brute which had killed most of the people was kneeling in front of a woman even taller than him and in her hand was a huge war axe as she looked at the brute " Did anyone survive? "


    " No my queen! I personally led my people to slaughter anyone that tried to escape. You can now officially return and take over the seat of the queen " Brute looked at the woman with respect and at her Axe with fear.


    the face of the woman was ice cold as she looked at the youth inside this cage. this was the person that made her leave the dessert and her clan! this was the person which caused her father to die because of poison! this snake which her father raised actually bit and killed it''s own owner!


    This woman was Tei Wu! After a month of fighting and getting experience with the war axe, she was so skilled with it that she killed many beasts of earth attribute and absorbed their essence from Spritual crystals. Only mortal level beats can condense Spritual crystal and unlike light users, other attribute users can''t always find suitable environment to cultivate at fast speed.


    so they would absorb Spritual force from Spritual crystals and try to convert it into their own strength by operating their Cultivation methods but not everyone can hunt monsters which were able to help them improve! this was because there was a huge difference in Spritual force provided by 2nd rank mortal beast''s Spritual crystal and 1st rank mortal beast''s Spritual crystal.


    this was because as you improved in your Cultivation, your Spritual force would continue to clean your body and if you absorbed 1st rank mortal level crystal when being at 2nd level, you would find that 1st rank Spritual force is not as pure as your own spritual force and as you absorb it, your own spritual force would contain impurities which 1st rank crystal contained.


    That is why if you absorbed a lower ranked Spritual crystal then you would have to spend more time to refine it, on the other hand if you hunted a higher level Spritual beast then your Cultivation speed would improve. This was major rule in Cultivation world which stated that Wealthy and influencial people cultivates with higher rank Spritual beast crystal where poor people can only use lower rank crystal and spend more time to refine them as it was still faster then absorbing the Spritual force from environment.


    Tei wu had hunted many earth lizards after coming to the dessert for a month which were all rank 6 to 7, they were hard to kill before as they didn''t have a weapon which can break the defense of the Earth lizards. They were slow but the lizards were like turtles and their skin was hard to break. This wasn''t a problem for Tei Wu as she was able to kill the lizards and obtain larger amount of spritual crystals which helped her improve so much and she directly broke through three levels in one month and because Rank 6 Martial Mortal.


    She looked at the sky as figure of a person appeared in her mind. it was Ace as a smile came on her face " Little blacksmith, Your weapon is awesome. Barbarian Queen would reward you properly if we meet again. "

 20 Attributes and Cultivation

    Ace stayed in Huiju village for a month as he collected all kind of information from village and he also hunted some of the fire attribute boars so that he can cultivate. this made his speed in Fire God''s Fury to be a little faster than normal. There were Nine stages to Fire God''s fury in which when you cultivate to ninth level, you will become God. The first level was called Mortal fire in which within the body, there will be special place near the chest which would hold the Fire energy.


    The first step was so miraculous that it allowed user to have fire attribute. Attributes weren''t something you can Cultivation as you like, Each and every single person''s body would be different and would have affinity to different kind of attributes. There were few attributes which were common like Fire, earth, water, wind, metal and lots of variants of the same attribute. For example when someone has ice attribute, it''s still in water category but a bit stronger than the original attribute.


    There were also weaker variants like for Earth there was an attribute which was called Sand and the user won''t be able to user most of the Earth attribute martial arts.


    This of course made finding Variant attribute Spritual beasts much harder to find as like humans, attribute variants in beasts would be rare too so people like this either cultiveted by staying in suitable environment or by absorbing Spritual force from the same attribute. For example when ice attribute user can''t find ice attribute beasts then he or she can hunt water attribute beats and would still be able to cultivate the Spritual force in it but the speed would be slower then when they cultivate with ice attribute Spritual crystal.


    Normally you can absorb any attribute Spritual crystal in your body even if your attribute wasn''t compatible with the attribute of the crystal but doing this had many risks as if you take in fire attribute Spritual force and your own attribute was water then you will be in big trouble. water and fire cannot exist with each other and you would feel a backlash in your cultivation or even if you were able to absorb it, your body would take long time to convert it in your own spritual force.


    there are some attributes which are stronger than the common attributes. these attributes were light, darkness, nature, Yin, yang etc. there were also many variants in rare attributes and if one appears in a person than he would be called genius.


    There were also some attributes which were called trash attributes. this was because when a person has one of the attributes like Thunder, time, space or Fate then there would be no way to cultivate for the person as Heven blessed them with super rare attributes but their Cultivation speed would be too slow. This was because they won''t be able to find suitable Spritual crystal at all and even if they manage to find a beats with related attribute, they won''t be able to hunt it! the super rare attribute Spritual beasts would also be super rare and super strong!


    People like Ace who had one of the common attributes, one of the rare attributes, and one of the super rare attributes would be a monster! A monster among monsters! This was because there was a rare chance that a person would have two attributes in every 100,000 people! Even if a person had two of the common attributes, he would still be called a genius as having two attributes means you have wider variety of spritual crystals you can absorb energy from. For example if you had Fire and earth as your attribute, then you can cultivate with fire attribute crystal and refine it''s energy in your body. once you breakthrough, the Spritual force in your body would be like fuel without any attribute and you can convert it in fire attribute Spritual force for fire attribute martial arts and Earth attribute Spritual force for earth attribute martial arts


    For Ace this meant that even if he only cultiveted Fire attribute energy, he can still use Light and Lightning attributes at their full power. Ace was curious about all this as he only had superficial knowledge about this attribute thing. His thirst for knowledge was ignited as he wanted to rush to Mizo town right away after he got this information. He only stopped and didn''t go because his identity wasn''t confirmed yet and Fang clan knows about him. If he directly rushed there then he would have no power to control his fate and once his attributes were revealed to the public then don''t even mention those third rate sects, those super first rate sects and super sects would go to war with each other for him!


    He was truly scared that his fate might not be in his hand of he went to Mizo town without preparation so he decided to cultivate bitterly for a month to gain enough strength.


    .....


    * Swoosh!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!! *


    In blood red display, the cross aimed at a huge Red Boar as Ace pressed the button on his crossbow and in just two seconds, his magazine which contained 15 arrows was empty. All of the arrows were Aimed at eyes of the Boar and as boar didn''t have time to dodge, it closed it''s eyes. it''s skin was Tough as it wasn''t called Red Iron Boar for nothing and normal arrows won''t be able to hurt it much.


    Ace smirked as he had seen so many boars get overconfident just because his arrow looked normal. In fact, this arrow wasn''t Normal at all! It was made from normal wood but the tip was made by cutting a hard rock with laser! It was Photon Disintegrator which was used to manufacture this thing. Ace would always concentrate his Spritual force near his eyes and as if his eyes were natural laser beams, they would release light. This light wasn''t normal but was mixed with fire attribute Spritual force and as it passes through various lens inside the Photon Disintegrator, light would be concentrated into half millimeter thick beam.


    Arrows which were aimed at the eyes and mouth of the boar didn''t disappoint as the boar was instantly became a hedgehog! it''s eyes, mouth and nose were all bleeding. Ace fired a laser from his eyes and split the belly of Boar in two from which he took out a pebble sized Red Crystal. This was a rank 8 Mortal level boar but it was still killed by his crossbow which shows the power of this Recurve Flux!


    " Finally, Alice put the crossbow on sentry mode, I''ll cultivate on the spot " He ordered as he sit down and took out seven Other crystals of the same size from his bag. There was special technique to make absorbing speed faster then normal by using appreciate number of Crystals for a level, he would be able to increase his Cultivation speed like a rocket!


    He had Eight of those crystals now which were all from rank 8 boars! if anyone see him cultivating like this, they would gasp in shock because this was extravagant! Normally people would be extremely happy if they can have even one Crystal worth them for Cultivation but this guy was using eight altogether!


    Ace put all of the crystals in different places on his body, two in both hands, two on shoulders, two on his lap near his stomach and two on his head. There was no special way to do this as theFire God''s Technique didn''t state to do this. he was Cultivating like this because he found out that if he just keeps the crystal in his hands then most of the power would go inside his hands and then spread to his whole body through his meridians. This way the traffic in his meridians of his hands would be too much and Speed would be slow, he then tried different ways and found out that absorbing energy from different parts of the body would reduce pressure on his meridians and it would also help speed up the process.


    Those old man probably just didn''t do it because it looked a little stupid?


    [ Master, if they do it like this then they would have to pay attention to eight different places at the same time which you can do because of your huge brain but they cannot do it ]


    " Oh, I see, let''s break through then, I am dying to visit the Mizo town. "


    He said as he started circulation of energy which he absorbed from Crystals and all the energy started circulating from different passageways in his meridians. Slowly, in the process the red energy was refined by him and it was then absorbed by his brain, bones , muscles, meridians and blood. He was able to feel all the energy which felt like his body was full from eating.


    * ktcha! *


    Something broke in his body as his cells which were unable to absorb any more Spritual force, now started absorbing the energy super fast! All the Spritual crystals which were constantly providing energy became white powder!


    " Spirit Mortal level 8. Not bad, it''s a huge increase in strength and I feel like I have enough energy which can be campared to eight times the 7th level Spirit Mortal. "


    The advantage of the Internal Cultivation in mortal level was stamina, when your Cultivation was at higher levels of Spirite mortal, you can fight for longer periods of time. This also applied to speed and strength as you force out more power with each and every punch infused with Spritual force.


    Ace was now ready to go to Mizo town as he had got information about it from village. Village Chief told him that only in the Misty pavilion, you can find apprentice level people. Various families of the Mizo town might have one or two people in Apprentice level and he can be considered Strong fighter even in Mizo town if he cultiveted up to level 8.


    Village chief almost collapsed when he saw Ace attaining level eight Mortal Realm in just a month. Keep in mind that Tei Wu also hunted Spritual beasts to cultivate and was already at level 3 Martial mortal. Although Internal Cultivation was easier but it wasn''t faster, both had same principals in which External Cultivation technique would use Spritual force to permanently strengthen the body where Internal Cultivation techniques would use spiritual force to store it in body and let user use it in times of need.


    Tei wu broke through three levels in one month by relying on Spritual crystals. Ace broke through Seven levels in a month with pure slaughter! He also wanted to cultivate External Cultivation Technique named Rebirth through Flames but it required Apprentice level strength so he just focused on Fire God''s fury.


    Unfortunately, the technique was really hard and it can''t be rushed or else the foundation won''t be strong so in the issue of comprehension of the technique, he can only take it slowly. When a Flame size of a fist was ignited in his chest area, the first level would be considered successfully completed but right now it was pure white flame only size of nail of his pinky finger floating gently near his heart in center of Ace''s chest.

 21 Mizo town

    There was a river which was named Red carp river as it had many species of fish in it and all the towns on the shore of this river benefitted from it. There was a bustling town near this River which was called Mizo town.


    It was Ace''s first time seeing such a town as it was much different than what he imagined it to be. He thought that this town would also have small houses and wooden buildings but instead this whole town was made of bricks and woods.


    There were no small houses, instead there were many tall buildings which had three to four floors. He even saw a seven story building in the town.


    Ace was wearing normal cloths of a villager and all of his equipments were in his bag. He didn''t have a spatial storage space called Interspatial ring but he did knew it existed from his memory. He didn''t get one from Tian cui because experts of their level won''t need an Interspatial ring.


    Ace was still wearing the Photon Disintegrator and now he had made some modifications to it with the help of blue metal that he got from the sword of Xiong hu. The metal was good conductor of spritual force and it was even stronger.


    There was an alloy called liquid metal in which by special process, metal would be able to change shape and take any form user wanted it to.


    In huge Spaceships, there will be liquid metal display which would perfectly show battlefield in 3D. Ace got an idea from this and tried the same method on the blue metal.


    Method to make liquid metal was simple and any metal can be changed into liquid metal, there was a downside to this as metal won''t be as strong as it was before.


    He just had to change it''s molecular structure with his 3D printer and to his surprise, he was able to change the blue coloured metal into Liquid metal. He found out from a former miner in the village that blue metal was called Ocean Cobalt.


    It was valuable material which can be used to make weapons stronger than iron.


    When he transformed liquid metal Ocean Cobalt, he changed all of the iron from Photon Disintegrator with this new metal.


    When he test his Photon Disintegrator again, it released a beam of red light which had blue tint to it, liquid metal Ocean Cobalt had enhanced the laser and now he would be able to precisely control intensity and heat of the laser.


    He also added a disguise function in which the whole liquid metal would cover his face and change shape of his face. He would look like a different person but Photon Disintegrator would still be there.


    Ace was disguised as a teenage boy of 16 years of age and no one would suspect him because his height was short campared to natives of this town. boys of his age would be 3 to 4 inches taller than him at the age of 20.


    Ace was only in outer city where most of the farmers and traders who didn''t want to pay money to enter the town stayed.


    He was surprised as if only outer area had three to four story building, then what about inner are? that would be even more awesome.


    Ace decided to go to the inner area because he found out that the Fang clan he was looking for had their headquarters into inner area of the city.


    There were five major powers in the city which were Misty pavilion, Blacksmith Association, Alchemy Association, Fang clan and Dragon palace.


    Misty pavilion was master of this town as the Magistrate of the city was from Misty pavilion and as this city was under Misty pavilion, they were strongest power here.


    After that were Both association which didn''t take part in power struggle but they were still comparable to the Magistrate of the Town. Every town would have a Magistrate which would rule over the town and Several different villages around it. He would have chief of police who would be in charge of helping Magistrate to establish the law and power in a region.


    Above Magistrate was governor who would be in charge of several such towns and the area under his rule would be called a state.


    Several such States would make one Province which would be governed by a Minister. There were three such Provence under Misty pavilion.


    This was somewhat similar to Ancient China but there was no emperor.


    Ace decided to find out more as he sit down in a restaurant near the gate to the inner city. The restaurant was a high class one campared to other restaurants and even cheapest dish here started with silver Coins.


    He knew ranking system of the various sect''s where there will be outer disciples, inner disciples and core disciples. After that would be Teachers and elders.


    some of the sects had special titles for few of it''s strongest elder for example peak masters.


    Above that would be vice sect leaders and sect leaders. There were also ancestors who were even stronger than sect leader which were generally former sect leader and were strongest force in a particular sect.


    From the information he got at the village, he knew that once an outer disciple became an apprentice level expert, he would normally get a good position in local police who would work to reduce crime rate in the area.


    Some would give Official Exams and become higher rank officials like Magistrates. Any inner disciple, when retires can become a teacher at the sect or become a governor of a state.


    Only a core disciple can become an elder or A Minister in the Provence. Of course they would have to pass an Administrator Exam.


    Exams were of three levels which were for Magistrate level, Governor level and Minister level.


    Ace knew this much but he didn''t know what kind of strength the current Magistrate had.He was also shocked when he first heard about how much strength Misty pavilion had! they Governed so much area that there would be at least a billion people under their rule!


    Ace had 1256 copper coins which he exchanged for 12 silver coins and 56 copper coins and this money was given to him by villagers for food. He also got 30 silver coins from Tei wu as payment for upgrading her weapon.


    He thus now had 42 silver coins and 56 copper coins. He ate some food for 7 silver coins in the high end restaurant so now he only had 35 silver and 56 copper remaining. Surprisingly, the cost of living in a high end inn was cheaper than the high end food.


    He only had to pay 6 silver coins which would let him stay in a huge room with a bed and all kind of good furniture for a month. This high end inn even had complimentary food. Although it wasn''t as good as restaurant''s but he would be able to eat better food if he was willing to pay.


    Ace booked the restaurant for a month and. was left with 29 silvers. He heard that the cost to enter inner area was 20 silver and Normal people won''t be allowed to bring weapons. he was a Cultivator so he didn''t have such restrictions as power was still the most important thing in this world.


    Ace decided to visit inner city the next day but today he was going to visit different shops in outer area and see if could find anything useful.


    He was taking a stroll through market in which all the kind of different herbs and fruits we''re being sold. Ace was surprised to see so many different plants and vegetables.


    He walked through the area but nothing caught his eyes.


    Ace was even about to be robbed by a thug when he caught the snake like hand from the crowd before it can reach his bag. He gently twisted the hand as a scream like a pig was heard and the poor guy ran away as fast as he came.


    Ace changed his mask again and disappeared before anyone can even notice what happened.


    The thing that attracted his attention the most was a small blacksmith shop which was two story tall.


    Ace went inside and saw a muscular bearded man heating a sword in the furnace. A little girl of six to Seven years of age came out and looked at Ace with big round eyes " Big brother, what do you want to buy? my father makes perfect Weapons! you will like them "


    Ace smiled as he went inside " I am just here to take a look "


    Bearded man smiled as he looked at Ace " sure, go ahead. Hai show the weapons to him please "


    " Okey, come with me big brother "


    Little girl was Mo Hai and her father was called Mo He. He was a normal Blacksmith who made normal weapons for ordinary people.


    Ace was surprised to find out that he still earned quite a bit even though he only made ordinary weapons.


    " I would like to see crossbows and bows, also some throwing weapons " Ace wanted to see ranged Weapons because they at least had some mechanics, the cold weapons didn''t even have any extra feature and he considered them boring.


    Mo Hai Pointed at a shelf in the corner on which there were various bows and crossbows were arranged neatly.


    " Big brother, many hunters from nearby village perchase bows and crossbows from my father''s shop, he is famous around the Mizo town and if you can provide meterials, he can also make Mortal level weapons! "

 22 Fang clan - 1

    Ace looked around the shop and he saw various weapons in Mo He''s shop.


    Most of them were Melee Weapons and some were good quality ranged Weapons like bows and crossbows, he even saw a disk like boomerang type Weapon and another slingshot type Weapon.


    There were two Melee Weapons which attracted him the most in which one was a huge mace and other was a silver colored sword which was as thin as cicada''s wings.


    He inquired about the weapons and found out that the sword was called Wind butterfly and it was actually only Mortal level weapon Mo He had.


    Ace wasn''t interested in Weapons as he can make hundred or thousands of time stronger weapons with his 3D printer, what he wanted to know about was different types of meterials like metals and various chemicals used in the manufacturing process.


    " Can you tell me where I can get this information? I need them urgently " Ace sure was able to make many super powerful machines and weapons which can destroy planets and even whole galaxies but to make them from only one metal was impossible. A single machine might have ten to hundred different kind of metals and alloys in it''s body and it''s Electronic circuit would demand even more complex alloys.


    He can''t always use his old metals which he got from Juggernaut prime to manufacture things as sooner or later he would run out of his stock of metals. He would have to learn about metals of this world as soon as possible.


    " Well if you need basics then I can sell you a copy of my own book for one gold. If you want even more detailed explanation then you can go to blacksmith association in inner city and purchase The book called Basic Metal encyclopedia. that''ll cost you 10 gold. "


    " that''s so costly! well I really need them, how can I earn money here? " Ace looked at the Weapons on the rack as he got an idea to manufacture weapons.


    " Mister you can give blacksmith association exam and if you pass then they will give you the book for free " Little Hai looked at Ace as Mo he nodded his head at Ace " If you pass in apprentice blacksmith exam then they will give you intermediate metal encyclopedia and Advance Blacksmith guide. "


    Ace looked at Mo he as he thought deeply on the thing " Can you explain more about this blacksmith association? "


    " Sure, there are three levels of test you can give in Mizo town, Mortal level test, Apprentice level test, and Master level test. Anything above you would have to go to the state level Blacksmith Association "


    Mo he was mostly alone In his workshop so getting a new friend to talk to in a while was good. Ace even bought a plain looking dagger from his shop so he decided to explain a few things to Ace.


    " In Mortal level test, you have to manufacture a Mortal level weapon. if you are successful then they will give you basic metal encyclopedia and an intermediate level Blacksmith guide so you can learn about Apprentice level Blacksmith skills. "


    " All the other tests are same and the level rewards scales with level of exam. "


    Ace got general understanding of the Test from it as he though about giving it a try later. Today he needed to scout Fang clan first and find Fang Dai. He also found out that basic blacksmith guide sold for 10 gold and you can buy it even if you were a normal person, if you become a mortal Blacksmith then you would be able to read it for free in the blacksmith association.


    " Friend, you didn''t tell your name. "


    " My name is Shen Tiancai, Thank you for the information brother He "


    Ace left the shops and inspected the dagger he bought from the shop. This was a mortal level dagger but due to it''s size, it''s price was cheap and he was able to exchanged it with some boar skins and boar tusks. He had few of those in his bag and all of them sold for 1 Gold coin and 35 silver. He was able to buy the dagger for 1 gold and 20 silver. He also had some Spritual crystal but the price would fluctuate for Spritual crystal of beasts, for example s fire type beast''s Spritual crystal would be important to a fire attribute martial artist but a water attribute person won''t buy if even if you sold it for cheap price.


    the reason he bought the dagger was to understand different between a normal Weapon and a mortal Weapon. He carefully scanned the Weapon but he wasn''t able to find anything new.


    [ Master, the dagger is made of A special alloy material and there is some Spritual force inside it. This Spritual force can make dagger stronger than ordinary daggers. If you hurt a Mortal level Cultivator with this dagger, it would be able to cut their though bodies. ]


    " I see, so a normal Weapon unless crazy strong or sharp, won''t be able to cut through a body with Spritual force. This means only a weapon which can threaten a mortal level Cultivator can be called a Mortal level Weapon but it should also be able to cut Spritual force flowing through the Cultivator''s body"


    He found out from Mo He that there were some kind of Stones which contained Spritual energy in them in pure form and they can be absorbed by any attribute martial artist. Spirite stones were thus used as higher level currency above gold.


    So for few hundred fire attribute Spritual crystals he got from boar''s body in the Forrest would only be sold if he can get better connections. This was one of the reasons he decided to find Fang clan.


    After inquiring about fang clan from Mo He Ace found out that Whole Fang clan was situated in the east part of the Mizo town inner city and their houses were scattered near the river. Fang clan owned many shops and fishing and hunting business in Mizo town and it was a branch of the Main Fang clan which was a major power in Wulin state. Reason for this was that the Head of the Fang clan was a Magistrate of one of three Provence.


    His authority was huge and he was once a part of Misty pavilion. He was old core disciple who was able to step into master rank and become a Magistrate of the Longshan Provence.


    In Longshan Provence there were many state in which Wulin state had several towns under it''s control. Mizo town was just one of the town and this really shocked Ace to the core! If only a single Fang family was so powerful by only governing over a single Provence then what about the third rate sect Misty Pavilion? The third rate sect Governed over three such Provence! this was only third rate sect!?


    Then what about second rate sect? what about first rate sect? what about hose super first rate sects and super sects!?


    Ace finally understood how insignificant and powerless he was in this new world. He still didn''t lose his arrogance! So what if you govern more land? My family alone had it''s own star sector! A star sector is not just bunch of stars, it''s a huge group of galaxies! around the cloud of stars, there will be many galaxies scattered around and there will be thousands and millions of planets in a star sector! there were only 7 star sectors in which two were impossible for humanity to conquer and out of remaining five, his family owned one! This meant He alone owned one fifth of humanity''s territory!


    Ace was really proud of his family but he was more proud on the work of his father and grandfather. They were both weapon specialist. Don''t mistaken The weapon specialist with the guys who play with guns. No, his father and grandfather were specialist in the weapons of mass Destruction! No one in this new world would be able to stop him!


    He was determined to develop even more scary weapons. There were tales of someone being at Demigod and god level so his ultimate goal right now was to develop a weapon that can kill a God!


    Ace payed the fees and he was finally allowed into inner area. He looked at guards and was shocked to find that each and every guard was at least rank 1 or rank 2 Martial Mortal.


    This was because you can not achieve Rank 1 Spirit Mortal if you didn''t have a manual but you can reach up to rank 3 if you just trained your body everyday.


    it wasn''t much surprising that all the people at the gate were Martial mortals.


    Ace quickly got into line of people who wanted to enter the Inner Town. Soon it was his turn as he noticed that there was a strange blue ball in hands of a guard and everyone was putting their hands on it.


    [ Master, this is a security check, they are checking if there is any hidden Cultivators in the line ]


    Ace frowned as he looked at the blue crystal ball. He already joined the line and if he got out now, it would be weird, they would surely be suspicious.


    [ Master, you can just admit that you are a Cultivator and are new in this part of the town ]


    " Yes lets try "


    After a while it was Ace''s turn and he looked at the guard, Guard swiftly told him to put his hands on the globe.


    " This brother here, you don''t have to bother. I am a Cultivator. Actually I am new here in Mizo town and Fang clan miss named Fang Dai knows me. "


    The guard was stunned.


    " Are you talking about fairy Dai? Where did you meet her? " Suddenly a middle aged man wearing green robes spoke from side. he was looking at Ace and he was even sitting with Other guard and chatting with them before.


    " Indeed, she is called Fairy Dai and I met her in Black boar Forrest "


    " What was she wearing at that time and what happened? "


    " She was wearing yellow cloths and Wen Hui was attached by Bandits in which his son betrayed Wen Hui, Fairy Dai and other were saved by me and that is why she invited me "


    As soon as Ace said this, all the people started discussing with each other. Fairy Dai and Wen Hui were famous people of Mizo town and they were even like celebrities.


    " Okey, I confirm your identity. Follow me, mistress didn''t even know your name back then but she knew that you would look for her so she asked me to stay here and look for you. "

 23 Fang Clan - 2

    Ace had taken off his Photon Disintegrator mask and as soon as he out the liquid metal Ocean Cobalt in his hand, it suddenly became a glove that wrapped around his arm. Now he can fire the laser with his finger and don''t have to wear it on his face all day long. although it would be difficult to aim but he can always put it on his eyes in the time of need.


    He thought that he didn''t look good with the eye patch theme. Of course he looked badass with it when he was out to kill but for normal situations, he didn''t need to wear it all the time.


    Ace followed green robed person and he soon reached a majestic gate, on this gate there was one word '' Fang '' written on it in Chinese language. He was able to feel the pressure that this word gave off on him.


    [ Master, this word contains many tiny markings inside it in which the Spritual force flows in a certain way so that it would develop a suppressing aura ]


    " But what are those carvings? how can they produce this kind of phenomenon? "


    [ This is probably inscription user''s work ]


    " Hmm, right "


    Ace was taken into a winding pathways and there were many gardens and fake mountains with small lakes and ponds near beautiful buildings. it looked like it was best place for old people to retire. Of course those old people would be powerful and wealthy old people.


    Green robed person stopped in front of a Chinese style building which was only two story. Many trees were giving gentle shade to the building and there was a small well nearby.


    Ace found the place really peaceful.


    " What is this place? " He couldn''t help but ask.


    " This building is miss Fang Dai''s personal Cultivation house. Every genius of the family has one such house in which they can Cultivate in peace. You go inside as I have other matters to deal with "


    Ace nodded as he opened the wooden doors and went inside. He saw many small trees of different color flowers in the courtyard of the house. There were birds chirping and a lady was sitting under the biggest tree which had strange blue flowers.


    Ace squinted his eyes as he looked carefully and he was able to see some blue wisps of energy like blue smoke coming out of those blue flowers and all the smoke then was absorbed by the girl sitting under the tree.


    She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ace. " How can I help you? " she was older then Fang Dai and was even more beautiful campared to her. She was wearing a blue Martial artist robes. The robe was unfortunately unable to hide her beauty as her Rosy cheek with beautiful eyes clearly put her in one of the most beautiful girls Ace had seen.


    Ace bowed and didn''t look at her again. After all what kind of person was Ace? He was so rich that he could''ve had a whole planet full of beautiful females like her! He of course didn''t like the idea as from birth he was raised with upbringing and as a noble himself, he was taught Good etiquette. He knew it was rude to stare at beautiful girls, unfortunately he was still young and wasn''t exposed to this part of life much as he couldn''t help but feel a little nervous " I was invited here by miss Fang Dai "


    " Dai, there is a guest for you " The girl spoke in gentle voice again as another girl came out of the house. she was also beautiful and when both of them stood together, they complimented each other. The scene looked like a painting.


    " Big sister, this is the warrior I told you about. The one with the tamed monster. "


    " Oh I see, Hello warrior. My name is Fang Jie and I am Dai''s elder sister. I will test you and if you can pass then you can join the faction under me. "


    [ Trouper Star Sector Lord working under her as a hired thug!? who does she think she is!? ]


    Ace was startled as he never saw Alice so agitated. Maybe Alice was jealous?


    [ I am not jealous! She is clearly disrespectful to my master and that is why I was angry at her ]


    Ace chuckled as he looked at both sisters " What kind of test? " He knew that if he showed his Cultivation then he would be directly accepted into the clan much less joining a faction under a family member.


    " You have to destroy this barrier " Fang Jie said as she waved her hand and a barrier naturally formed in front of her. This wasn''t the most shocking thing for Ace but he was shocked because of her Cultivation.


    Apprentice level expert! This was first Apprentice level Expert he had met after coming to this world.


    Barrier was a blue coloured and because Ace didn''t come in contact with Apprentice level person before, he couldn''t identity the strength of the barrier. He couldn''t even tell what stage she was at in apprentice level.


    One thing he was sure about was that this barrier was formed by a martial skill.


    Ace smirked as he looked at the barrier. Who said I don''t have a martial skill? Here we go!


    " Haaaah! " Ace shouted as his whole fist looked as if it was on fire, it was shining fiery red as he rushed at barrier at full speed.


    " Sevenfold Fist! Third fold! " He was able to cultivate up to five folds of the seven fold fist but there were also different ranks for one''s mastery of the skill. They are basic understanding, Foundation, Fusion and Harmony.


    basic understanding level means you can execute the technique, Foundation means you can execute the technique perfectly accordingly and without any mistakes every single time. Fusion means you can use the technique without thinking and it would fuse with your body and become a Natural action for you. At last Harmony meant that you understand essence of the technique and can bring out 200% or even more power from the technique. Rebirth was a mysterious Realm after Harmony and there was only one sentence about it in the Sevenfold Fist Manual.


    " Technique would Go through Rebirth and would have unlimited potential "


    For Ace, as long as he followed the holographic image in his mind set up by Alice, he would be able to breakthrough to the foundation stage very easyly. This way he was able to execute up to five levels but sixth and seventh levels required certain flow of spritual force which he wasn''t able to maintain while following so he had only basic understanding of those stages.


    Ace only deployed first three folds because he was able to reach fusion level on those stages. This was because when hunting boars in the Forrest, whenever he found a weaker boar, he would use the Sevenfold fist on them. Because of this he was able to reach fusion stage as now he didn''t just produce Different four waves of attacks with one punch but his one punch contained four times the power.


    This means that he was able to release all the four waves of power at the same time.


    His fist which was covered in white fire collided with the barrier and it easyly shattered the barrier.


    This of course surprised both Fang sisters not because Ace was able to break the barrier, it would be broken as long as one was decent Cultivator but they were shocked because of Ace''s Cultivation.


    Level eight Spirite mortal!


    Fang Dai just met Ace two months ago and in two months he was able to become level 8 Spirit Mortal!? What kind of monstrous Cultivation speed was this?


    What they didn''t know was that Ace didn''t even cultivate for a month, his Oblivion reactor was detached from his armor and he was planning to use the strength to break through multiple levels when he is in a pinch in the future.


    If Ace used the Oblivion reactor then he would be even faster!


    Fang Jie looked at Ace as she took out a Jade slip. " Here, write your name on it and I''ll accept you directly into my clan. "


    Ace looked at her and smiled " I don''t want to join your clan, I am just going to stay as a guest for some day. I will soon go and give Blacksmith Association exam for mortal weapon Smith. I Shen Tiancai would focus all my attention on becoming a Weaponsmith. "


    Fairy Dai and Fang Jie wereboth shocked. he is so talented and he is also planning to become a blacksmith?


    Fang clan was a powerful clan and as long as Ace was from Longshan Provence, they would be able to handle any enemy of his.


    Ace knew this but he still didn''t want to lose his freedom by joining a power.


    " Mister Tiancai, if you don''t want to join the clan then you can still become a Member of Thunder Storm society. It''s a society run by my fang clan and any warrior can join it. you can do missions in there and earn contribution points as well as money. you can also get many resoueces for Cultivation if your rank is high enough. "


    " Your freedom won''t be restricted and you will get resources, but you won''t receive Fang clan''s protection. Consider this as Payback for the favor you did to fang clan by Saving my little sister. Only a Master rank member of my fang clan can recommend you to the Thunder Storm society But I am special and I can give you my recommendation letter"


    Ace thought over it carefully as he liked the idea. There were no restrictions and he can earn much more money if he completed the missions. He decided to join this mysterious Thunder Storm society. His goal was to join the third rate sect first before coming to Misty Pavilion but now he decided to develop himself first.


    if Ace joined the Misty pavilion as he was now, he won''t even have enough capital to survive much less conquer the whole sect.

 24 Fang Clan - 3

    Ace was given a special room in the huge courtyard house. it was a guest room and whole house had many guests of fang clan. There were some old man who were blacksmiths and there was even a little boy who was surprisingly an Alchemist! He was only 14 years old but he was already Spirit Mortal level 2 and a Beginner level Alchemist.


    Just like Blacksmiths, alchemists were also divided into ranks which were mortal level, Apprentice level and so on.


    There were four subdivision in each level for example in mortal level there were beginner, Intermediate, Advance and peak level. One''s level in alchemy or blacksmithing had nothing to do with one''s Cultivation. there were still some limitations as no matter how big of a genius you are, you won''t be able to become Master level or grandmaster level Blacksmith without sufficient strength.


    Ace wanted to rest as he directly went into his room. He did wanted to learn many things from those people but how would it look like if master of a star sector, Sector Lord Ace trouper asking around for information from bunch of old men?


    Ace rested and cultiveted naturally in the light of sun, light around him was concentrated and suddenly he got a wild idea!


    Fresnel lens! Why didn''t I think of it before!?


    " I need sand, I can''t make a good enough fresnel lens without good sand. Right there is a river nearby. "


    Ace left the Fang clan as he notified the guards. He told them he would be back at night.


    Ace directly went towerds the river shore and collected many samples of sand. His 3D printer came alive and started working on the sand to convert it into glass, at the same time multicolored beams started molding the glass into the shape of Fresnel lens.


    He found out that yellow sand was best for the lens and it had less impurities. Satisfied with the sand, he made a huge Fresnel lens from the sand, it was round and was divided into eight parts, it was a round lens and he was even able to fold it and stack it over the single part. It''s radius was 1 m and Ace directly put the lens over his head.


    Suddenly all the heat from sun was concentrated on his head and his head felt like it was about to boil. He quickly adjusted the lens and the beam now concentrated on his chest.


    His cloths were instantly burned but he didn''t even feel a thing on his skin, instead he felt warm and cozy. His body was rapidly absorbing the heat and light from the lens as he started Cultivating on the spot.


    It was on the shore of the river and as it was fang clan''s property, no one came to disturb him there. There were birds chirping and fish swimming in the river.


    It was peaceful atmosphere in which after just two hours of Cultivation, there came a wave of heat from Ace''s body. He broke through to the Rank 9 Spirite mortal!


    This speed of Cultivation was because of the lens which concentrated huge amount of heat on his body and light which helped him Cultivate both fire and light attribute Spritual force from atmosphere. His speed was faster than normal from the start and the Fresnel lens provided enough energy to his body which led to this breakthrough.


    [ Master, your Cultivation is unstable, your body is not adept to huge increase in strength. you need to absorb the new Spritual force which has entered your body through the Fresnel lens ]


    Ace naturally knew this as he was able to feel the energy inside his body. it was like suddenly someone had burst many Spritual crystals and all the energy went inside him. It was still energy but he needs to convert all that energy into his own spritual force.


    For next two days, he adjusted his Cultivation and did many different sets of techniques which were recorded inside his memory. there was a set of technique inside Fire God''s fist which explained how to deal with a situation when there was suitable Cultivation environment available and how to increase speed of accumulation of the Spritual force inside his body.


    In two days, he had converted almost half of the energy present in his body into his own Cultivation as his Cultivation as Rank 9 Spirite mortal was solidified.


    He came out after third day as first thing he did was to change his cloths. He then took a good meal which was provided by fang clan.


    Ace wasn''t in rush to join Thunder Storm society as he had heard that in that society, only those that were above Apprentice level can join and after some inquiries he found out that the Thunder Storm society was secretly backed by Misty pavilion. It was a private power that was run by three dominant clans under Misty pavilion.


    There would always be some formidable Cultivators who wouldn''t want to join the Misty pavilion because of various reasons. They can work like hired Mercenaries in Thunder Storm society and earn resources. For Misty pavilion, it was same as recruiting those people because if they find someone with potential in the Thunder Storm society then they would directly invite him.


    Of course the expert can decline and still stay as a part of the Society.


    Ace liked the concept as he would be able to achieve his end goal which was to conquer Misty Pavilion but he was worried that if just joined the Misty Pavilion then he won''t be strong enough to decline a certain old man who would see his potential and would want to take him in as a Student.


    Ace didn''t even acknowledge Tian Cui as his master even though she was an Emperor level expert. He had only inherited her martial arts which was same in Chinese point of view but for Ace it was just like Finding a treasure. After all you won''t consider a pirate who left behind the treasure as your master just because the pirate was once strong.


    Of course if Tian Cui was alive and if she taught him herself then maybe he would think about it.


    Ace also found out from the introductory book provided by fang clan about Thunder storm society that there were different ranks of the missions and you can accept any mission as long as you had the deposit money.


    Every mission was divided into three parts which were copper, silver and gold rank. Above them would be star missions which would start from one star and can go up as per the Mission difficulty.


    In Copper, Silver and Gold levels there were three subdivisions which were called 3rd rank, 2nd rank and 1st rank in which 3rd being relatively easy and 1st being relatively difficult mission.


    This system was corresponding to the Cultivation of the user for example if one was 1st rank Mortal level to the third rank mortal level then he or she can be eligible for 3 rank Copper grade missions. Of course Thunder Storm society won''t stop Cultivators from taking higher rank missions but they allowed the Cultivators to do so on their own risk.


    every three levels were assigned to one rank of the mission up to Spritual Master Realm where a rank 7 to rank 9 Spritual Master would be able to take on missions from 1st rank Gold grade missions.


    For Grandmaster rank experts, there will be stars corresponding to their Cultivation levels.


    Ace also found out that each and every mission would have different deposit and if one completed the mission then he would get reward, contribution points and his deposit back.


    Contribution points were unique things which were sought after by Cultivators because they can be exchanged for special Cultivation rooms, Special alchemy pills and different resources of the Misty Pavilion which would only be available to the disciples of the sect.


    This was also the reason why most cultivators completed missions even though they didn''t need money as money won''t buy them Cultivation resources or suitable Cultivation environment but contribution points can buy those things with ease.


    There was also a system where one can pay some fees to the Thunder Storm society and issue missions. Ace liked this function as in future he can collect all kind of different metals without doing mindless hard work of searching for them.


    ...


    Far away in an unknown Forrest a huge group of monsters were gathered and there were three Monsters which were sitting in triangle formation in the Forrest.


    One of the monster had pitch black skin and had scales like dragons on it''s body, it looked like a wolf but on it''s forehead there was a third eye which was half open.


    Another monster was a snake which was as thick as an adult''s arm and was silver in color. Snake had a red Ruby like gem on it''s forehead and looked like a royalty of snakes.


    Third monster was an Ape which had four arms and it''s fur was completely purple. On it''s chest the fur was black and in shape of a skull. This made the ape look really demonic.


    Three monsters were sitting in triangle formation and sending their Spritual force into a red crystal which was releasing a strange aura of bloodlust and rage.


    There was a huge monster army which covered whole ground of the forest and stood there like a well trained army.


    Far away, there was an old man who was wearing majestic white and black robe standing on a flying sword and was observing this. It seemed as if he was deep in thought as as he was mumbling something.


    " Devil wolf, Snow snake prince and A Corrosion Ape. It seems this year''s harvest would be decent. "

 25 Thunder Storm society

    Ace left Fang clan after bidding his farewell to both Fang sisters. He really like his residence at fang clan but he knew he can''t be freeloader in fang clan for extended amount of time.


    Fang clan only allowed him to stay because he had saved Wen Hui and Fairy Dai indirectly.


    Ace was heading towerds The branch headquarters of the Thunder Storm society. It was also located in inner are of the city and because of detailed information provided in the guide which was given to him by fang clan, he was soon able to find it through the winding pathways and numerous different buildings.


    On his way he saw many shops in which there were quite a few buildings which attracted his attention. On his way he saw huge seven story building which had all the different kind of fragrance of herbs around it which covered almost 50 meters area. This was alchemist association headquarters of Mizo town.


    He also saw a Building which had three floor and it covered almost 300 meter square area in inner town.


    "For someone to own such a huge building with such a large area, the owner of the building must be really powerful." Ace thought to himself. The building was actually an inn and hotel combined and he even heard that it was the only inn or restaurant in the inner city.


    The influence and background of the owner of this place can be imagined.


    Ace soon stood in front of a majestic building which which had five floor. He knew from the guide that the first floor was for copper level missions, second floor was for silver level and third for gold. They didn''t have any star missions in this ruler place and in face, only one or two gold rank missions appeared every month.


    There wasn''t introduction about forth and fifth floor as only those who reached master rank would know about that. Apprentice and mortal rank experts weren''t allowed on Gold level floor.


    Ace directly went inside and handed the recommendation later written by Fang clan''s Fang Jie. Receptionist which was a beautiful girl who was 18 years old took the later. When she saw that it was from fang clan, she directly handed it to Vice Hall Master. All the recommended laters would go through the Hall Master or Vice Hall Master.


    Every headquarters of Thunder Storm society would have a Hall Master and Two vice hall Master which would be responsible for daily management of the headquarters.


    Fang Guanyu was one of the vice Hall Masters of the Thunderstorm society and because he was from Fang clan, he had specifically instructed the receptionist to find him in case there was any recommendations.


    " Hmm, not bad. This kid is a good seed and he even attracted the eyes of both Fairy sisters. Haha this kind of person joining my Branch would give my Branch much contribution. Okey I approve this Cultivator and go arrange things for him. His Cultivation seems to be at level 9 so upgrade his badge and give him eligibility for up to 1st rank Copper mission. "


    Receptionist nodded as soon she came back and explained few things to Ace. " Mister Tiancai, as per the rules of our Thunder Storm society there are only three basic rules you have to follow. First one is that you won''t create troubles when in any headquarters of Thunder Storm society.


    Second rule is that you can ask for refund or change of rewards if the mission difficulty is higher than expected and in that case, The Society would give you extra rewards as compansation. On the other hand if you''ve requested for increase in reward or refund and after society''s investigation it turns out that your claim was invalid then you will have to pay double the amount of deposit.


    Third rule is simple. Don''t accept the missions which are out of your capability. Although we won''t prohibit you but many people have lost their lives while taking risks.


    We won''t restrict your actions nor we would force you to do anything. We would provide protection and stop anyone from creating trouble as long as you are within the Thunder Storm society headquarters.


    Once you get out of this place, your life and death won''t be related to thunder Storm society so we suggest you to find a good place to save your reward and make less enemies. Here is your badge which is upgraded to copper grade rank 1. This means you can accept any mission in copper floor.


    When you reach Apprentice level in your Cultivation, silver floor would be available for you and you can take silver grade rank 3 to rank 1 missions as I''ve already told you that you can take higher rank missions on your own risk.


    You can insert your Spritual force in the badge and it would allow us to keep track of your condition. If you happen to die on a mission, we would know from the badge "


    Ace frowned as he looked at the receptionist. Of course he knew about all the rules and regulations from guide but there was no mention of the badge.


    " You mean you can spy on me through this badge? "


    " No, it''s not like that. We can only know if you are dead or alive. This badge is also a dimensional storage which would normally cost you 100 gold coins but because of recommendation later, you are given a copper grade rank 1 level badge storage for free. it has 1 square meter of space inside. "


    Ace''s expression suddenly changed as he looked at badge like he was looking at most valuable treasure! This was a dimensional storage item!! He knew that there were Interspatial rings but actually getting a dimensional storage item still made him excited. This was like a child found a new toy to play with! If hise can study this and develop his space cannon then he would make even bigger breakthrough in the field of Spatial physics.


    He soon found out to this disappointment that this thing was designed and produced by an inspection User. He was disappointed because there were no real laws of physics here, just because of some fundamental shapes and cravings, the Spritual force would flow in certain pattern in this badge and that was the reason why this badge had this kind of internal space.


    Inscription users and Formation users were rare but they weren''t extinct. He would surely meet them one day and learn about the technique from them in the future.


    " Can you tell me which inscription user made this badge? I would like to meet them "


    " All of the badges are from Misty Pavilion so even Hall Master don''t know who made them. "


    Ace was disappointed because of this reason as knew that he won''t be able to solve the mystery of the spatial storage in short amount of time.


    What he needed right now was strength and for strength he would need resources first. For resources he would need a lot of money and contribution points.


    " It''s Time to grind for money and contribution points Alice "


    Ace rubbed his hands as he excitedly looked at the huge wooden wall on the copper floor which had at least a thousand mission notices. There were three such walls which were for 3rd rank, 2nd rank and 1sr rank Copper grade missions.


    Ace directly went towerds 1st rank board as he looked at hundreds of mission notices.


    [ Master, I''ve scanned the wall and analyzed the data. ]


    There were three notices which were highlighted in his vision by Alice. Ace soon saw that they were relatively easy to do and mostly any rank 7 Spirite Mortal would be able to do them.


    One of them was Herb gathering mission which required 30 silver as deposit.


    Another mission required him to hunt Iron boars and bring back their Spritual crystals which he could complete right away as he had seven crystals left. Mission required five such Crystals. It required 1 Gold as deposit because difficulty of killing boars was higher than gathering herbs after all.


    Last mission was to wipe out a bandit gang from a nearby Forrest which was named Thorns Forrest. it was like Amazon forrest and there were many swamps there.


    Ace decided to finish the boar mission first, this was because he already had the Spritual crystals with him and mission clearly stated that it would reward the Cultivator with equivalent amount of money in return for the crystals.


    Ace directly took the notice for all three missions as he went back to reception.


    He handed the notes for the missions to the girl.


    " Mister Tiancai your total deposit for three missions is 11 Gold and 30 silver "


    Ace directly took out the Spritual crystals as he put them on the table.


    " I already have the Spritual crystals of the boars. There are two seventh rank, two eighth rank and one rank nine Crystal. " Ace put away too other rank 9 crystals that he had.


    The girl on the reception was a little surprised at this as it wasn''t even five minutes since she introduced the basic procedure to him. Did he looked through all the missions and found this one in just five minutes? but there are hundreds of missions and even if he already had the meterials, he would at least take some time to look through the mission board.


    " Okey, as per reward chart in the mission description, you will get total of 64 Gold coins. "


    The chart for the price to rank ratio of the spiritual crystal was as follows.


    Rank 1 - 10 silver


    Rank 2 - 20 silver


    Rank 3 - 40 silver


    Rank 4 - 80 silver


    Rank 5 - 1 G 60 S


    Rank 6 - 3 G 20 S


    Rank 7 - 6 G 40 S


    Rank 8 - 12 G 80 S


    Rank 9 - 25 G 60 S


    This arrangement of price to rank ratio doubled the price with each increase in rank. Most Cultivators found it fair and this price was accepted for all the different kind of spritual crystals.


    When there is an exception like if there is a rare Spritual beast that is more troublesome to hunt or is too rare, the base price for rank one would be changed and other prices would be adjusted accordingly.


    Ace paid the deposit of 10 Gold and 30 Silvers as he had already completed the mission for boars and he didn''t need to pay deposit for it.

 26 Undead of the Howling ridge 1

    Ace had little more than 54 gold coins which he wasn''t planning on spending right now.


    First thing he did after getting out of the Thunder Storm society headquarters was that he observed the copper badge carefully. This little thing was worth 100 Gold coins. It was as valuable as a rank 1 Apprentice level beast''s Spritual crystal of ordinary rarity.


    He was grateful to fang clan as he won''t be able to pay for it for the time being but he would make sure to return those 100 Gold coins as soon as he finished this mission.


    Ace soon started thinking up a plan to wipe out this bandit hideout. The herb gathering mission was also in the same area and it had good rewards because of herbs being in such a dangerous area.


    He was provided with a map which showed the location of the bandit headquarters. The bandit gang was called Black hawks and they ruled the Purple Mist Forrest. It got it''s name from a faint purple color mist always being in the atmosphere around this Forrest which was actually actually a Variant of poison attribute Spritual power which was named poison ivy mist. All the monsters were poison attribute which was considered above average attribute.


    This variant was a type of paralyzing poison. This of course didn''t made Ace worry as the amount of mist in the air was low enough that it can only affect normal people. It won''t have any effect on a Cultivator because they can expel the Spritual force invading their body.


    Purple Mist Forrest was located at South of the Mizo town and Black boar Forrest was on East side. There were few more cities on North West side which were on par with Mizo town and after three cities there was a town called Nanjing which was capital of wulin state. It was a massive town with more than a million people living there.


    Ace decided to head towerds purple mist Forrest. He bought a black horse which was pretty obidiant and healthy, it cost him one 50 silver and it was worth the price. He soon reached the outer perimeter of the Purple mist Forrest.


    [ All of the trees are poisonous, grass is poisonous too. Master don''t let the horse walk on grass, it will make it weak and the poison would paralyze it in minutes. ]


    Ace knew that normal horses can''t endure the poison in the poison mist Forrest as he spent a poison repelling charm which would continuously make a forcefield of spritual force around the body of the user which would stop the poisonous Spritual force from invading their body. Ace didn''t need it but he still bought it in 1 gold coin for his horse.


    He was good at horse riding and soon went deep inside the Forrest. There were bushes of purple color which clearly indicated that they were poisonous. Mist wasn''t that thick at first but soon it got so thick that everything looked like it was painted in purple.


    There were cases when in his own universe, Humans encountered similar situations where whole planet was poisoned and there was no way to save the planet. In this kind of situation, humans would simply send unmanned drones from outer space and then drones would establish the necessary facilities first.


    Some planets were so harsh that there was even acidic fume in the air and whole lakes were made of acid. Humans were only able to use some stronger non reactive plastics and this kind of planets would be used as chemical harvesting zone.


    Ace was aware of many Hazardous places and this Forrest was even heaven campared to them.


    ...


    Far away in from Ace''s position, there was a huge cave in which there was a strange barrier. Three people were constantly maintaining this barrier to keep the purple mist out of the cave.


    This cave was the hideout of the Silver Fang Bandit gang. The leader of this gang was a person names Wu Chang. He was Spirit Mortal rank 9 and his two brothers which were both vice gang leaders of the gang. One was Wu An and other was Wu Meng. Three brothers were once part of Fang Clan but they betrayed the clan and fled to this Forrest.


    Fang clan was furious as not only they betrayed the Fang clan by stealing the Cultivation technique, They also stole a secret scroll containing important information. Unfortunately, anyone above the Mortal rank would attract the attention of a Master level Spritual beast which was living inside the Forrest.


    They this decided to make it into a mission for younger generation and issued it in fang clan and also at the Thunderstorm society.


    Right now Wu Meng and Wu an were sleeping and Wu Chang was practicing his sword art. He was focused on sword at and had even cultiveted a sword type martial arts skill.


    The name silver fang was takes from the technique all of the bandits cultiveted which was called Storm of the silver sword.


    Those three were wind attribute and the technique which they stole was also about utilizing wind attribute into sword attack. This helped them breakthrough to their current Cultivation level.


    * Boom!! *


    As Wu Chang was Cultivating, there was a loud sound that made him frown. He quickly ran out of his cave as he looked towerds the cave entrance. The barrier was destroyed and there was a person standing there who was covered in black rags from head to toe.


    This person had res bloodshot eyes but he was strangely sane. He was looking straight at Wu Chang with an evil smile which scared Wu Chang to his soul. He was feeling a strange pressure which made his body unable to move.


    The person suddenly lifted his head and opened his mouth. Suddenly huge amount of black smoke poured out his mouth but it wasn''t smoke, it was black Spritual force.


    " He is using a martial arts technique!? Death attribute!? You are from Unde....aaahk!!? "


    Before Wu Chang can even finish his sentence, he was covered in thick black smoke. There was no way for him to repel this smoke as it was same as purple mist, unfortunately unlike purple mist which wasn''t controlled by anyone, this black Spritual force was like a well organized army as it didn''t even give any chance for Wu Chang''s own spritual force to fight back.


    Wu Chang''s body was soon taken over by the black smoke as his eyes were now pitch black. All over his body there were strange black clots of blood and the most surprising thing was his strength. He was only Mortal level Rank 9 but now he was Rank 1 Spritual Apprentice.


    The strange person which was covered in rags all over let out an evil smile as he waved his hands. All of the people who were transformed like Wu Chang followed this person inside the cave.


    There come a sinister sound from inside the cave " Hahahaha! Finally I have more than 100 undead! I can try to break through now "

 27 Undead of the Howling ridge 2

    Ace was walking along the path shown in map as he soon reached a lake. There was mention of this lake in the map which started that this lake was called Blood lake and there were many lakes like these in the purple mist Forrest. Actually the poison corroded the water inside the lake and the color changed into red when mixed with water because of which it got it''s name.


    There was a mention that there lived there different Apprentice level rank 8 Monsters near the path which led straight to the bandit headquarters so Ace had no choice but to take detour around the lake. Ace had done a complete analysis of the strength level of various ranks and he was sure that if had the plasma gun, he would be able to kill those beasts but with only the Photon Disintegrator, he won''t be able to harm those monsters.


    Ace knew his resources were limited and he won''t waste his time on killing those beasts as doing that would only get him little bit more wealth. This wasn''t cost efficient as would exchange precious energy of Oblivion reactor for some beast cores. He might consider killing them if they were fire attribute but unfortunately the apprentice level beasts were of paralyzing poison attribute.


    He was cautiously moving along the edge of the lake and there was introduction of strange fish type beasts which lived in blood lake. They were called silver tongue fish. This fish was immune to the paralyzing poison and it had developed in such a way that it''s meat had trace amount of mild paralyzing type Spritual force.


    This Spritual force was only paralyzing type and it wasn''t poisonous so this fish was a higher level delicacy. Cultivators would eat the fish with wine and when you eat the meat, it would creat a strange tase which would paralyze your tongue for short amount of time.


    The taste was actually good and many big restaurants which served cultivators would even issue missions to hunt these fish occasionally. Each fish was actually worth 30 silver and some fish in bigger lakes would reach Mortal rank and develop a paralyzing attribute Spritual crystal. This was beneficial to the poison attribute Cultivators which can refine the Spritual force of paralysis and give their poison an additional ability.


    Ace was also thinking about hunting some to taste later but he dropped the idea because he suddenly saw a Red flower which looked like a lotus in the lake water.


    This was Blood mist Lotus and Ace had accepted the mission which required him to collect 20 of these flowers. 20 flowers were worth 30 Gold and they were used to strengthen the blood. It was only effective for Normal people and it would help them breakthrough to the mortal level or even cure some wounds pretty fast for normal people.


    Ace hid behind tree which had yellow bark. There would be some Apprentice level monsters which would occasionally come to eat those flowers and the the grass growing around the lake. When they were injured, they can consume the grass or flowers to increase their healing speed.


    Normally any human would rarely enter this kind of place and hurt those beasts so Apprentice level beast would hardly need them. Ace still decided to be cautious as carefully counted the flowers.


    [ Scan complete, 126 Normal fish, 25 Mortal rank fish in the lake. There are three mortal level monsters approximately 60 meters away and they aren''t aware of our presence. There are 13 of Blood mist Lotus in this lake ]


    Ace nodded as he was satisfied by Alice''s scanning ability. If he had to depend on himself for scanning the area, he would be constantly distracted and won''t be able to focus on task at hand. There was technology which allowed humans to do everything an AI can do but rich people were always lazy and would always have super strong AI for assistance.


    Ace was no exception as he also needed AI even though he was a super genius. He soon formed a plan in his head about how to retrieve those flowers. There was special job for this kind of work which was called herbalist in this world. They would have all the different kind of techniques and methods to safely preserve the herbs found in nature.


    Many higher level herbs and natural treasures required special method to harvest them.


    Fortunately Blood mist Lotus wasn''t a high level herb and Ace was directly able to take them with him. They would stay preserved in his storage badge.


    Ace soon took out the dagger which he bought from Meng He and tied a rope around the handle of the dagger. He then took out some scrap metal and with a buzz, his 3D printer transformed the metal scrap into a small iron net which a thin string attached to it. He installed the folded net to the dagger and wrapped the string which was attached to the net around the rope which was attached to the dagger.


    Ace soon stood at the edge of the lake and just like the holographic image shown in his vision by Alice, he threw the dagger which passed by just above the lotus. When dagger was about to go further, Ace pulled the string and net suddenly opened wide, it captured the blood lotus.


    *Plop*


    Dagger which was stopped mid air because of the pull from Ace, soon fell into water because of gravity and Ace started pulling the net which had Lotus in it towerds him.


    He used this method because he didn''t want to go inside the lake which was red and looked like blood.


    Soon Ace collected 13 of those blood mist Lotus and successfully avoided the strong monsters around the area. there were still small lotus there but he didn''t take them with him as they weren''t mature enough yet.


    He soon walked towerds the path that led straight to the bandit headquarters.


    " There are two more lakes on the way and both of them are small, I won''t be able to get many but I hope I can complete 20. " Ace thought as he followed the map.


    He didn''t believe in the map 100% so He still instructed Alice to scan the area everything 10 seconds. After all Alice used his own spritual force to transmit that radiation which was thanks to his light attribute. Right now being at Rank 9 Mortal level, he was able to observe approximately less then 100 m area around him.


    If he scanned every ten seconds then he would be able to keep up the scan in the day for as long as he wanted because his Spritual force would regenerate at the rate of consumption. In night, he would be able to last for close to five to six hours.


    This technique was completely derived by him and it can be considered his self created Cultivation technique.


    * Crack! *


    Suddenly there came a panicked voice of Alice.


    [ A huge beast detected approximately 80 meters away, it''s 4m in height and 8 meters in length, the shape is like a Lizard. Most likely Stone Basilisk lizard. ]


    [ Scanning complete, It''s strength is at Rank 6 Apprentice level ]

 28 Undead of the Howling ridge 3

    As soon as Ace heard the warning of Alice, he dashed right away into opposite direction of the beast. He was sure that he can handle rank 1 Apprentice level or even rank 2, he can even try to fight rank 3 with his Photon Disintegrator. He also had two time bombs made with rank 9 Red boar''s Spritual crystal which was of fire attribute.


    He recently found out that those every beast had a special skill and it would strengthen everytime they leveled up. For example, a boar which was Mortal rank would go berserk, A Mortal rank Silver tongue fish would have special horn on it''s head from which it would inject it''s enemy with paralyzing Spritual force attack , paralyzing it.


    At apprentice level, a beast would have two special skills and this Stone Basilisk lizard would also have two abilities to attack or to protect it''s life.


    Ace knew he won''t be able to fight the lizard so he directly decided to leave.


    [ Master, The Stone Basilisk has sniffed us out, it''s following us ]


    " That''s what I was most afraid of, As a Basilisk it has snake''s instincts and can most likely track us down...we need run faster "


    Ace didn''t panic as he soon started running even faster, his body was healthy and at Mortal level rank 9 he was able to run at 50 to 60 Kmph.


    Unfortunately the Basilisk lizard was even faster, it was able to keep up with Ace and was even catching up with him. Ace soon started using terrain to his advantage and swiftly changed his path in different directions.


    This was advantage of higher intelligence as he was able to stall the beast which was six level higher than him.


    Ace was following the holographic image and his body was able to perform even better as each and every move of his was well calculated.


    Unfortunately he wasn''t able to fully utilize ability of his strong body as he didn''t get into such intense situations much ever since his strength has increased.


    Ace soon realized that his stamina was running low but he soon reached the cave which was supposed to be the hideout of the bandits.


    Ace directly went. inside the cave as he soon. saw the internal structure of the cave which was covered in stalactites and stalagmites. The roof of the cave was almost 10 m high and there were three wooden buildings inside the cave.


    Ace soon noticed the bandits which were all standing at the entrance of a cave behind the building which was in center. All of bandits were just standing there and looking at the cave. Ace also noticed that there were two people standing near the gate which led inside the small cave.


    Ace didn''t have time to greet them as he rushed towerds the building which was on right and jumped on the second floor. Basilisk lizard which was size of a truck soon came inside.


    Strangely, none of the bandits even turned their head to the direction of the Basilisk. In the cave there was the person who was fully covered in rags, he was sending his strange black Spritual force inside the person next to him.


    This person was Wu Chang and he now looked like a dried up corpse. Strange energy was circling around his body and wherever this energy passed, his body world develop strange red blisters. It was as if his skin was burned and corroded by the strange energy.


    Unexpectedly his strength was still rising and he was Apprentice level Rank 2.


    Suddenly the rag covered person heard a loud noise from outside.


    * Boom! * * Crash! *


    " Who is it that dares to disturb me? a beast? " He had a sinister smile on his face as he flicked his hand once and his black Spritual force swiftly flew outside of the cave.


    " Kill whoever dares to enter this cave without permission "


    The black smoke spread among the group of bandits who looked like zombies now. Wu Meng and Wu An both stood guard outside the cave. They were now Rank 1 Apprentice level.


    All the bandits suddenly had bloodshot eyes as they looked at the huge truck like lizard destroying the building in which Ace was hidden.


    The building was sturdy and well made and had support of the cave walls from three side so it didn''t collapse easyly. Even after seven to eight attack, the stone Basilisk lizard was only able to destroy half of the building. Ace was continuously changing his position inside the building so he avoided being hit and crushed everytime.


    Ace soon noticed that all the bandits rushed towerds the lizard without caring for their lives. He also noticed their strange appearance. Ace soon knew that something was wrong.


    " Alice scan them. Tell me what''s wrong with them? "


    Ace jumped out of the building in which he was and ran inside the building which was in the middle of the cave.


    There was strange glow from his body for a second as soon came the reply of Alice


    [ Master, their life force is diminished and is they are under control of an unknown energy. I can detect a different kind of spritual force inside their body. Symptoms are similar to Demon cold from 200 years ago.]


    " Life force diminished? do you mean, undead? Demon cold? "


    Ace soon noticed this and a chill went down his spine. Demon cold was a disease which took lives in trillions. It was a plague developed by an alien civilization and unfortunately human weren''t able to counter the poison after many years of biological research.


    In the end, humanity abandoned the planet infected with Demon cold and all of the planets were destroyed by Weapons of mass destruction. The Alien civilization was also wiped out and not a single alien of that race was left alive. Whole galaxy which was headquarters of the civilization was throughly cleaned of any planet. That was the only galaxy in the universe which didn''t have even a single planet in it.


    [ Master although it''s similar to Demon cold but it''s not same, the energy inside those bandits is what''s causing them to become like this. If it was a virus from demon cold, you won''t even be able to escape before it infects you. ]


    After listening to this Ace had sigh of relief. He didn''t let his guard down as he soon saw Basilisk lizard received all kind of different attacks from bandits.


    * Roar!! *


    The stone Basilisk was enraged and forgot everything about Ace. It started fighting with bandits with madness. It hissed like a snake sometimes and roared like a dinosaur. there were bandits flying everywhere.


    Those bandits knew how to fight and some were using Weapons while some were just kicking and punching it without any regard for their life. Some were thrown away by the impact of lizard''s tail and some even got bitten in half but they still kept fighting as if there was no injury in their body.


    " This is a good opportunity, Let''s do it hehe " Ace wasn''t going to just watch the show. He soon reached out to the roof of the building and planted the Spritual crystal time bomb there. He then jumped down from the building and soon walked close to the mini cave.


    " The leader of the bandits is really sinister. There are two zombie guards so there must be someone controlling those bandits. "


    Wu Meng and Wu An weren''t able to notice Ace as he was hiding and their attention was on the lizard. If lizard defeted the bandits then they would have to fight it out.


    Ace suddenly got an idea as he smirked " Why should I go near the cave and fight them? I have better plan " He took out his crossbow and loaded an arrow in it. He tied the bomb at the end of the arrow with a rope and he was sure that the force from crossbow was enough to pull the bomb.


    * t''chi *


    Arrow soon flew straight inside the cave and both guard noticed it. Inside the cave, arrow nailed it self between both people in the wall of the cave. the bomb which was tied with the arrow was hanging by the rope.


    " Mission accomplished " Ace escaped right after firing the arrow. He soon went outside the cave and as the Basilisk lizard was fighting with the bandits. None of them had any time to stop him.


    Ace hid on top of a tree just outside the cave.


    " What is this!? who dares to shoot an arrow in here!? " the rag covered person was enraged and if the arrow was just slightly to the left, it would''ve nailed it self into his head.


    suddenly there was a blinding red light in front of him as everything went blank.


    * Boooooooom!!! *


    Soon it was as if the whole cave was lifted up into the air and then furiously slammed back into earth. whole. cave collapsed and for a long time there was continuous clatter of rocks falling.

 29 Undead of the Howling ridge 4

    Ace who was hiding behind the tree was shocked. First, the explosive was really strong! there was such a huge shockwave just because the berserk fire type Spritual force was was released all at once! Second, there were web like cracks in the mountains because of which the whole mountain collapsed like a house of cards.


    Ace peeked at what was remaining of the cave entrance as he saw that there was a lot of dust in the air.


    * Rustle, crackles *


    suddenly a huge truck like lizard lifted it''s head from between all the collapsed rocks.


    It was severely injured and there was blood on it''s mouth, eyes and ears.


    " Alice Annalise the lizard''s condition. Can I defeat it? "


    His body released a Golden glow for a second as Alice swiftly replied.


    [ Because of the shockwave from the blast, it''s internal organs are injured. Several bone fractures. Two skull fractures. One rib fracture. Several spine fractures. Unable to move. Currently using the special innate Ability. ]


    Ace also noticed this as the color of lizard''s skin transformed into rock like color. It completely melded with the environment and if one didn''t look carefully, they won''t be able to spot this beast the size of a truck.


    [ Possibility of defeating is 57% if you use the Recurve Flux and shoot it from a distance. If you can find out it''s other ability then I can calculate more perfectly and come up with a better plan ]


    Ace decided to try the idea first as he soon took out Recurved Flux from his badge and aimed at the eyes of the lizard.


    * Swoosh! *


    Two Arrows travelled really fast and hit lizard directly in it''s eyes.


    * Click! *


    Unfortunately the defensive skill of the Stone Basilisk lizard was really strong and their skin would become like a rock once the skill was activated.


    Ace wasn''t disappointed as he had another plan but first he had to force this beast to release it''s other ability.


    Apprentice level beats would have two abilities.


    " Stone Basilisk''s first ability was defensive type so other must be offensive type for sure."


    Ace thought in his mind as he pressed on the side of his forehead. There was faint click sound as the mask made of ocean Cobalt covered his head fully.


    This time he had made some changes in the mask. He found out that at higher level of Cultivation, the Spritual force that can travel from his meridians at a time was limited. If he wanted to use large amount of spritual force at once and release stronger beam of laser from Photon Disintegrator, he would have to change the way he inserted his energy into the device.


    He thus designed a helmet which would fully cover his face once activated and there would be a single red lens in the center of the face of the mask. With this design he would just have to guide Spritual force into his head and all of it would be absorbed by the mask.


    He soon had a Black mask with blue tint on his face as he walked in front of the lizard step by step.


    Lizard was looking around for the person who fired the arrow but it couldn''t move so it decided to stay put but as soon as it saw Ace, it let out a slow hisss sound.


    Ace smirked as he concentrated his energy in his head. Soon the energy was absorbed by the mask and all of the energy was then projected towerds the Lizard like a red hot beam of magma.


    Stone Basilisk could sense the huge amount of energy coming towerds it''s way but the speed of laser was too fast! It was almost near speed of light!


    Soon with a chiiiiiii sound the skin of stone Basilisk was burned like a piece of paper. There was smell of barbecue meat in the air as Ace continue the attack for 5 seconds.


    There was a huge black burned mark on lizard''s belly but it was still alive! Suddenly it roared like a dinosaur and opened it''s mouth. There was a yellow ball of spritual force which was shot towerds where Ace was standing. Ace was able to determine the trajectory of the yellow ball and dodged in time. He jumped few meters to the side so that the ball of yellow light would pass by him.


    Unexpectedly the ball stopped in the mid air as it exploded and soon ground was split open as huge spear like shards of stone protruded out of the Earth. Ace noticed this and a chill went down his spine. He was five meters away from the center of the explosion but a shard from the ground still hit his leg and there was a bloody scratch on it.


    Ace retreated few steps more as he looked at the lizard. He wasn''t worried but happy as he smirked. This was because Alice had soon told him the possibility of winning. [99%]


    He out away his recurved Flux bow into his badge and took out a Black coloured Gauntlet.


    This was the same Gauntlet he used back when killing Xiong Kong. In close combat, if he used this gauntlet then his strength with three fold fist then he would be able to produce triple the power. Three fold fist already made his power Amplify by three times and now this gauntlet would use counter balance weights to produce two more echoes of his fist, it wasn''t like he can stack the power on single point but it would be like hitting on the Same spot three times with three fold fist.


    Ace jumped on a rock nearby as he soon circuled around the Stone Basilisk lizard. Smirked as he rubbed his gauntlet.


    " I wonder if you can survive my punch hehe " He Slowly crept closer to the lizard where it''s leg and ribs were injured. It wasn''t able to even swing it''s head in that direction much less spit a yellow ball of energy.


    This was why Alice said that the winning percentage was 99%. Ace looked at the left shoulder of the lizard as he pulled back his fist like a bow. His muscles contacted like bowstring ready to fire as soon he launched the punch at full strength. There were three waves of energy with his original fist strength as the gauntlet hit lizard directly on it''s shoulder.


    * Crack! Roar! *


    The part which he hit was directly caved in and the stone skin there broke like a piece of glass. There were soon two echoes from the Gauntlet which sounded like a jackhammer beaking a stone.


    * Thud! Crack! Thud! Crack! *


    With each echo, the shoulder bones of lizard were completely broken. There were spider web like cracks on it''s bone.


    Ace then jumped on it''s back and walked to it''s head. The lizard was in so much pain as it looked at Ace with hatred. Ace looked back as he smiled and then again punched the head of the lizard with his full strength.


    Keep in mind that the punching strength of a Mortal level rank 9 and an apprentice level rank 6 would have huge difference. In case of spritual beasts, their body would be stronger than a rank 6 Cultivator in apprentice stage. so even a rank 6 Apprentice stage had to put in some effort when trying to hurt the beast of the same rank.


    * Boom! Crack! Crack! Crack! *


    Ace was only able to crack the skin and break the bones of the lizard because it was already injured and wasn''t able to activate it''s ability of stone skin to it''s fullest extent. It was in so much pain that it wasn''t even able to focus on the defense.


    Soon Ace hit both of it''s eyes and fragile eyes directly bursted under the pressure. Ace wasn''t able to kill it even though he kept hitting it''s head for half an hour. It simply died from bleeding. At last he used his Photon Disintegrator and slowly tore open it''s skin to take out it''s Spritual crystal which was of earth rank. It was a common beast and Ace would be able to sell it for hefty sum.


    [ Master, we should take one of the body of bandit back for analysis. This time if there were two rank 1 Apprentice level fighters and there were even undead bandits which weren''t mentioned in the description. ]


    " You are right, I would''ve almost died if those bandits come after me and attack me without regard for their life. "


    He found a random bandits body and since the bandit was long dead, he took out everything from his storage badge and put the body inside it. He put everything in his old bag and went back towerds the two small blood lakes to collect remaining blood mist lotuses.

 30 Undead of the Howling ridge 5

    Ace soon collected all the Blood mist Lotus from two small lakes. He got extra 9 loti and with 13 he collected from before he had a total 22 lotuses. He can finally leave this Purple mist, Forrest.

    He was going to analyze the Spiritual crystal he got from the stone Basilisk first but he noticed that it wasn''t any different than a normal crystal. It was just that it was bigger in size and the Spiritual force was purer.


    Ace directly left the place as there was no need to take the bandit leader''s head with him. He just had to kill the bandit leader and the badge which he used during his stay at fang clan would show it.


    Ace traveled to the Mizo town at the fastest speed possible because this time not only he completed missions but he also got many inspiration and ideas about how to improve his strength. He also needed to practice Martial arts and get familiar with the increased strength of his body. He had increased his Cultivation too fast and didn''t even have time to let his mind get used to the increased ability of his body.


    His brain was already advanced but his body was normal so it was like a super powerful software inside limited capable hardware. Now his hardware or his body was getting upgraded so the software can use more of its amazing powers which it wasn''t able to use in the past.


    Ace soon reached a small cave near the medium size Blood lake. The small cave was the place where he hid his horse because if he took it with him in the Forrest then all the beasts would sniff him out and chase him around. He quickly got on the horse and left the Forrest.


    Soon he reached the Mizo town and went inside the city. This time he didn''t enter the Inner city by joining the crowd but showed his badge and he was allowed to enter the city.


    He rode his horse near the Headquarters of Thunder Storm Society. It was usual bustling atmosphere there as various Cultivators were going in and out of the building. There were some Cultivators in groups while some had their face covered in hood or masks.


    Ace headed straight for the counter where the receptionist was and put the stack of blood mist lotuses on the counter.


    " Here is my mission description, you can check the flowers. "


    The receptionist was fast in her work and soon checked that all the flowers were of good quality and were carefully plucked so they weren''t damaged. She didn''t ask any questions nor did she talked as this was routine work for her and there were many tasks she had to complete throughout the whole day.


    She gave him 30 Gold back with the deposit which was 30 Silvers. The deposit was low because gathering missions would be easy so normally Cultivators would like to accept missions like this frequently.


    Some cultivators even made a living from just gathering different materials for sects.


    The deposit was low so that even most poor Cultivator can take on the mission.


    On the other hand, Hunting missions and the different dangerous mission had a higher deposit.


    Ace also handed her the second parchment paper on which the mission about bandit gang was written. This was one of the most dangerous missions available in the copper level.


    The receptionist looked at the parchment and was surprised. This guy only took a single day to complete the mission? wasn''t he too fast?


    " Mister Shen, We would check the badges of the bandits first. your reward would be here as soon as we confirm it. "


    Ace smiled as he looked at receptionist " I want to raise in my rewards miss. It clearly says here that there were normal bandits there but what I saw were no ordinary bandits. they were undead. "


    As soon as the receptionist heard this the color left her face as her face as it became pale from fear. She looked at Ace and said in trembling voice " M-Mister Shen, Please stay here. I''ll call the Vice Hall Master now! " She left without even looking back.


    Soon after a while, she returned with Fang Guanyu. Fang Guanyu was one of the two Vice Hall Masters of the Thunderstorm society. He was wearing a red robe which had golden stripes on his chest. there was embroidery design of a Chinese Dao sword on his shoulder. He looked like a middle-aged man and he had a thick aura of superiority around him. He looked full of energy.


    Fang Guanyu looked at Ace and asked " Mister Shen, we should talk inside "


    " Sure " Ace nodded as he walked after the duo inside the hallway. They soon reached a courtyard which was behind the enormous building of Thunder Storm society.


    Fang Guanyu lived in one of the buildings near the Courtyard and his office was also there. He led Ace inside his office as he sits down on a chair and offered another chair for Ace. The receptionist left as she had more work to handle and soon a beautiful girl served some tea which was giving off the fragrance of high-quality tea leaves. It was strong herbal tea and Ace liked the taste.


    " Mister Shen, if you are lying then you will have to pay 200 Gold coins as punishment. Do you have proof? if you want us to check then you have to pay double the amount of previous deposit as a new deposit. "


    Ace looked at the Fang Guanyu and continue to sip his tea. If it was anyone else, he would be sweating under the immense pressure of power and position that Fang Guanyu had.


    This was because befriending the Vice hall Master can bring you many benefits and at the same time, making him angry would bring much trouble but Ace who was a former Sector Lord, the amount of authority he had was impossible to be imagined by this Fang Guanyu.


    " I know that and you don''t have to send a search party, I killed all the undead. I have a dead body here as proof " He took out his badge and showed it to the Vice hall Master.


    Fang Guanyu just had to insert his Spiritual force inside the badge and he would know what was inside. Since Ace had taken everything out of the badge, he gave the badge to the Vice hall Master.


    " This? It''s a Blister undead! " Fang Guanyu was startled as soon as he saw the undead. From the strange red blisters on the body and pale skin of the corpse, it was confirmed that it was undead. Fang Guanyu still inspected the body and sent his Spiritual force inside the corpse. He was soon able to sense the black residual Spiritual force inside the body.


    " This is indeed a Blister undead. There is a possibility that undead legion has sent a new apostille! I need to quickly contact The Hall Master. "


    Ace looked at Fang Guanyu calmly " What''s a blister undead? What''s Undead Legion? Apostle? "


    " You don''t know? Right, let me explain. Howling ridge is a forbidden land in a separate Space. There is only one power controlling the region inside there and all of the Cultivators are born with strange Spiritual force which can raise the undead. There are thick death and darkness Spiritual force in the space. The undead legion cannot send their stronger fighters in this world because between their and our world, there is a thick wall of void in which void currents are so strong that even grandmaster level fighters would die.


    There would be a Gate opening randomly every once in a while and most of the time Undead legion won''t be able to grasp the timing. But sometimes because the soldiers patrolling the area where the gate open, they would be able to send their strong fighters in this world.


    People of this world are scared of them because each person they kill would be one more puppet under their control. There was once a whole Provence which was sacrificed to the undead legion. War lasted for a whole ten years and that is why most of the people are afraid of this power.


    Mister Shen, you''ve done great service to us by reporting this issue. I will keep this badge and someone will give you a new one. As for the death of bandits, it has been confirmed and you will get an appropriate reward. "

 31 Huge reward

    Three days after Ace reported about the incident of the undead, Fang clan contacted the Misty Pavilion. After the last incident of the undead attack, Misty pavilion was always on guard against such issues.


    Fortunately, there was a low possibility of the Undead legion knowing about the spatial gate as the Howling ridge was too big. There was a mountain ridge spanning across the whole space bubble dividing the world into two parts.


    There was a still a slim chance that like last time a strong master rank undead legion disciple gets through the spatial gate and goes on the rampage.


    There was a search party dispatched by the Misty Pavilion which consists of five Master rank Core disciples of Misty pavilion. There was also a teacher of the Misty Pavilion dispatched and they soon investigated the place Ace was at. From this, it can be seen how important this matter is for Misty Pavilion.


    They found the dead bodies of the undead bandits and with them, they also found the second smaller cave which was completely destroyed.


    There were two corpses there and soon the Vice hall Master Fang Guanyu identified one of the corpses as Wu Chang. The other corpse which was covered in rags was assumed as that of the Undead Apostle. Both of. they were blown to pieces.


    The teacher who was dispatched by the Misty Pavilion was standing on the huge rock nearby as he looked at somewhat dried up and eaten out the corpse of giant stone Basilisk Lizard.


    This teacher was named Jiang Ruogang. He was an old man in a plain white robe and a majestic long white Beard. His eyebrows were also white and his eyes looked full of energy. This elder was the one who would be liked by every kid and looked like a mysterious neighborhood old man who had many secrets.


    He rubbed his beard gently as Jiang Ruogang looked at Fang Guanyu who was standing beside him with respect in his eyes. There were many legends about this Jiang Ruogang and it was said that he was a close friend of the previous generation Sect leader. He also took part in the beast tide three years ago in Luangzi Provence and defeated a sky Mamba which was at Mortal level rank 8! He saved millions of lives that day.


    The old man spoke while rubbing his beard and nodding his head " Indeed a good seed. He sure made a mess out of this bandit hideout. look at the corpse of the lizard, so ruthless. Bursting its eyes with sheer pressure. "


    He continued to mumble to himself as he looked at Fang Guanyu " Are you sure the person who did this, Shen Tiancai, Are you sure he is Rank 9 Spiritual Mortal? " He wasn''t able to believe it because he could sense strange fluctuations of spiritual force in the air which should be because of a fire attribute Spiritual force blast. This kind of blast won''t be produced unless one was at Apprentice level rank 9.


    Fang Guanyu nodded " Yes Master Jiang, He is at Rank 9 Spiritual Mortal rank. he is staying at my Fang clan''s restaurant in Mizo town."


    " Hahaha! Let''s go and meet this young lad, I am interested in him. The undead legion Apostle is dead so don''t worry about them. I''ll explain this to the sect leader. " He laughed as he left while standing on a flying sword which was Metallic Gold in color and had a red dragon drawn on its surface.


    After him, there were five people on the same kinds of the flying sword which were normal plain swords compared to the old man''s. They were five Master rank inner disciples and were sent here to investigate the undead legion''s matter.


    Fang Guanyu and others followed after the old man and five people on horses and they all were headed towards Mizo town.


    ...


    Ace was sitting on his bed as he looked at the pile of gold in front of him. There were 10000 Gold coins on the table! The reward for killing an Undead Apostle was 6000 Gold coins, Rank of the bandit headquarters mission was increased up to Rank 3 Apprentice level and the reward for it was 800 Gold. He sold the Spiritual crystal of the Stone Basilisk.


    The price of a rank 6 Apprentice level Spiritual crystal was 3200 G. The price was decided the same way as mortal level crystals but the price of rank 1 Apprentice level Spiritual crystal was 100 Gold coins and with every level, it would increase.


    This way the fang clan decided for Ace''s reward to be 10000 Gold coins! Ace was so excited as he now would be able to purchase different books about knowledge regarding metals and magical materials of this world. He had planned to develop himself as a Weaponsmith in this world.


    This was not lousy Weaponsmith like those who would only be able to create swords and sabers, they were trash! They didn''t have any creativity! Ace would design all sorts of bizarre and Miraculous Weapons that you won''t even have to Grab in your hands to kill someone.

    " I would show the Cultivation world what a Creative Weaponsmith Mechanical Engineer... sort of guy can do! "


    Ace had a clear goal in mind. It was to conquer this world and to do that he needs power! He wasn''t willing to bitterly Cultivate for Thousands of years and die. He didn''t have that much time so he decided to become a Weaponsmith and make Weapons that can give him power!.


    After all, he was still only 20 years old and had much to learn. He was at the age where there should be a goal to which you would work your whole life. A goal that would decide your future.


    " Yes, if I want to rise in this world, Cultivation would take too long. I need to find some shortcuts. I need some strong Weapons! I need a gun! Yes! A Huge gun! "


    There were stars shining in his eyes as his head was full of all sort of Creative ideas. Unfortunately, he couldn''t start working on them as he didn''t have the raw material. Fortunately, he now had the capital to get the raw material.


    in the past three days, after he returned, he was busy hiding from fang clan and Misty pavilion. There were at least five big powers that had invited him and he refused them all but those two huge monsters won''t back down. He stayed in his room and practiced some Martial arts and no one disturbed him. Finally, on the third day, he received his rewards.


    He knew where to find various metals he wanted. Blacksmith Association! They would have everything a blacksmith would ever want. He got out of the hotel and Quickly departed for the blacksmith association on his horse. He would buy some books and metals first and might even give the exam if he felt like it.


    After all, he didn''t need someone else''s approval to be considered a Weaponsmith. Blacksmith Association was just like another power to him which can provide him some benefits and convenience.

 32 Blacksmith Association

    Ace soon reached the huge building which was headquarters of blacksmith association in Mizo town. The building had white bricks made of unknown materials and there were five floors in this building. Ace didn''t know much about blacksmith association so he just decided to head straight in.


    There were two huge courtyards on both sides of the blacksmith association and behind the building was a huge empty ground and behind the ground were raws of different houses.


    Ace saw many disciples practicing different hand movements on the Ground. There was some old man chatting with each other while sitting in front of their respective houses.


    Ace went inside the main building and what he saw inside shocked him. There was a purple colored swan sitting on the shoulder of an old man. What shocked him were wings of the swan. There were blue arcs of lightning Jumping from feather to feather on the wings of the swan.


    The old man looked towards Ace as he noticed Ace''s intense gaze. He smiled as he said " Young one, you are surprised right? This is a Violet Thunder Swan. "


    Ace looked at the old man as he nodded. The old man was fat but had huge biceps. His body was beefed up and he was really robust. He looked like a small mountain just by standing there.


    Ace walked towards the Swan and was about to pat it''s head when a lightning bolt from the swan hit him on his hand. The old man was about to laugh at this foolish youngster when he noticed that Ace was fine. Violet Thunder Swan left old man''s shoulder and sat down on Ace''s Shoulder.

    The old man was surprised to see this as he smiled " young man, you are quite interesting. This little guy won''t go near a stranger unless they are of thunder attribute. "


    Ace nodded as there was no harm in revealing information about his thunder attribute affinity. The reason was that Thunder attribute was super rare but Cultivation of the attribute was difficult. It was like how ordinary people would look at people with their heart on right.


    Ace soon smiled and rubbed the neck of the Violet Thunder Swan and gave it back to the Old man. What old man didn''t know was that he didn''t just have thunder affinity, It was Tribulation lightning or you can also call it tribulation thunder! It was even more powerful than ordinary thunder attribute!


    Ace just needed some guidance on how he can use this thunder attribute Spiritual force.


    In those memories he got from Tian Cui, There were instructions about how to use normal and rare attribute Spiritual force but there was little information about how to use super rare attributes. There were too few people and beasts with the thunder attribute affinity and even less Martial arts related to Thunder attribute.


    Ace was surprised to find this thunder attribute beast here.


    " It''s quite rare to find beasts related to Thunder attribute. This one must be a rare creature? " Ace asked the old man.


    " Yes, I found this one in the Luangzi Provence. This little guy is my lucky charm haha! By the way, I am Shao Yun, a humble Blacksmith. What brings you here young man? "


    Ace found this old man''s attitude to be pretty good as he smiled and replied while giving him a salute. " I am here to take the exam for mortal rank Weaponsmith, maybe I''ll even take one for apprentice-level? "


    Old man Shao Yun was surprised to hear this as he smiled back and pointed at a huge warehouse type building. " Go there, they will prepare everything. The fees will be 10 gold for Mortal level and 100 Gold for Apprentice level. You can give it to the guy over there. "


    Ace nodded " Thank you. " He then left without wasting any more time as he went straight to the building.


    It was an open building and there was only one man there. He was young and had a pale face. He had strange blue eyes.


    " I want to take the mortal level exam " Ace put 10 Gold coins on the table as he looked at the young man.


    " Which level? There are three levels, Normal, elite and expert. The higher the difficulty you clear, the higher the reward. " This system was in place because not all the Weapons would be same. there was also a matter of quality of the Weapon. There was grade to the quality of the Weapons which were Normal, elite, expert, peak and ultimate. There was only three grade exam here as this was only a small town branch of the blacksmith association.


    Ace directly choose the expert level exam. Soon the pale-faced youth explained everything about the exam to him.


    " You have to make a weapon of expert grade and you will be given three chances and if you fail to make expert grade Weapons two out of three times then you would fail the exam. If you are able to make one expert grade Weapon out of two tries, you will become elite Mortal level Weaponsmith. "


    Ace nodded and asked " I need some time for preparation, can you tell me where I can buy books about blacksmithing? "


    Pale face youth nodded " You can buy them from me, normally people would buy them from the main building but all the blacksmiths would buy necessary things from me. You won''t be able to buy those things which aren''t available to Normal cultivators. Once you become a blacksmith, you will be able to buy them. There will be many new things you would be able to buy once your rank increases."


    Ace nodded as he bought [Mortal level guide for blacksmiths] and [ Basics of Metals ]. They were simple books and were few centimeters thick. Ace sits down on the bench inside the warehouse as he started reading the book.


    The pale-faced youth soon gave instructions to a subordinate of his to prepare the materials for the exam while Ace was busy reading the book.


    Ace didn''t require much time to read the book as he had a photographic memory. He could remember anything with just a glance and even above that, he didn''t even need to read the book, he just had to scan it with the help of Alice and it will be stored in his brain like a digital book and he won''t forget the content ever.


    Ace still decided to pretend to be reading the book and he was fascinated by the information contained in this book. There were also attributes attached to some metals which developed strange characteristics after staying in certain attribute Spiritual energy for a long time.


    For example the 100 years Snow Jade iron. It was the best metal to make a sword suitable for ice attribute person as the ice attribute inside the person and Weapon would both compliment each other and the total power would increase. 100 years was just the indication for the ice type Spiritual force inside the Snow Jade iron.


    There was also 1000 year and 10000 year Snow Jade iron and above that would be Ice Jade iron. There were many rare metals which can even convert certain attribute Spiritual force into another attribute Spiritual force like Ice Jade iron. Even if the user was water attribute, he would be able to execute ice attribute attacks with his sword if it was made from ice Jade iron.


    Ace soon found the metal he was going to work with, Bleeding Silver. It was silver metal with a red metallic shine to it and it was a good conductor of Earth, fire and water type Spiritual force.


    Ace also gained information about how blacksmiths of this world made their Weapons. They simply used the mold and with different techniques, they would shape the metal by a hammer. The only thing different was that they had to control the temperature of fire through Spiritual force and control their strength when shaping the Weapon.


    This wasn''t an easy task as higher the level of fire used to manufacture the Weapon, higher the difficulty and higher the requirement for strength.


    For Ace, this wasn''t a problem and he was ready to take the exam.

 33 Blood butcher - 1

    Ace finished reading both books as he gained basic understanding about the blacksmithing and different metals. There were many different metals which had their physical properties changed because of the environment and the Spiritual force. It was like a mysterious virus that would change everything and it was nothing but a magical force which defies science.


    Ace still wasn''t able to understand this force and to normal people everything Cultivators did was nothing but magic. To the genius, if he didn''t understand something then it was just because his knowledge was lacking. There were no miracles in the world and Every chaos had some kind of order in it.


    As for basic blacksmithing, it just explained how one can make Mortal level Weapons. There wasn''t any magical process involved as you just have chosen an appropriate fire, melt the metal, cast it on mold and then strengthen it and shape it with a hammer while controlling your Spiritual force.


    Ace was eager to make the new Weapon as every time he made something new, he would be really happy. Making better and better Weapons and even stronger and powerful Weapons was what made Ace feel alive. It was the only time when he felt truly proud of himself.


    " I''ll make sure to shock the blacksmith association. No matter how much big of a wave my new Weapon would cause, as a future God Weaponsmith, I would make sure to shock the world with my creation. No one should be able to make a better Weapon then me! " He thought to himself and smirked.


    Ace was soon bought to a special room which had a normal furnace, Some equipment used to make Weapons in old age and there were many different kinds of metals on the rack.


    " You can use the bleeding silver as much as you like. if you want to use additional metals from the workshop then you would have to pay for them later "


    Ace nodded as he already knew all this from the Mortal level guide for blacksmiths. He saw a small pile of Silver ingots which had a strange red metallic shine to them. Under the light, they looked as if there was blood Halo around the metal.


    Ace took one of the pieces of Bleeding Silver and examined it. It felt a little cold in his hands and Ace knew he cannot make something awesome out of this ordinary metal, he needed some Iron, copper, Gold, and silicone to give this Weapon Some special abilities.


    For example For iron, he would be able to change its properties and make it into a permanent magnet to design a small generator which would generate electricity and from copper, gold, and silicone, he can make some circuits to add special features in his Weapons.


    He suddenly got an idea and looked at pale-faced youth " Can I make it alone while no one observes me? I have a special technique and I don''t want people to see me perform it. "


    The pale-faced young man knew what Ace was talking about and he soon nodded, there were cases like this before and it was common in the world. " You have to let me check if you have any hidden Weapons or not and if you have then I will record them down so you won''t be able to present them as your Weapons later at the time of evaluation. "


    There were many people who were rich and hid some Weapons in their dimensional storage and just presented it after the exam to enjoy benefits provided by blacksmith association so there were some rules regarding manufacturing the Weapons alone.


    Ace nodded and he wasn''t worried about anything. He had some gold coins, his recurved Flux bow and the gauntlet which were all in his bag. He just put the bag outside so there was no need for a pale-faced young man to check them. Soon Pale-faced man took out a red crystal and strange red light shone on Ace.


    [ Master, I detect X-Ray and Spiritual force from the crystal. The Spiritual force is recording our information. I''ve blocked the X-ray from going inside the printer ]


    Ace was relieved to hear the information as the 3D printer was too important And he won''t be able to make the Weapon without it. Even if he can, it won''t that awesome and ground shaking.


    " You are clear, you can start the work and call me once you are done with your Weapon. "


    Ace nodded as pale-faced youth left and closed the door. Ace took the pile of Bleeding Silver ingots and put them on the table. He didn''t even need to use the furnace. He also added many different metals and many of them were common and only valuable metal was gold while costing him 50 Gold coins.


    Ace suddenly got another idea as he looked at the furnace. He Frowned as he thought about his crazy idea. " Should I do it? " He frowned as he looked at the furnace and asked Alice for opinion.


    [ Master you can get injured, maybe you should just take it slowly ]


    " Hmm, but won''t that ruin my reputation? Aristotle once said that there is no great genius without some touch of madness. " He smirked as he ignited the furnace. there were Red and orange flames in the furnace and its temperature was really high. There was an Earth fire crystal which contained the Earth fire. Ace directly inserted his hand inside the furnace!


    Hot flames burned the robe and revealing his smooth skin underneath on his hand. There were flames trying to devour his body but soon a strange suction power spread along with his hand which devoured the flames in the furnace instead.


    There were red veins popping up on his biceps and on his forehead. There was a huge amount of fire attribute Spiritual force inside his body and there was no way he could refine it in a short period of time. If he didn''t get rid of this Spiritual force then his body would soon be burned. As he guided the force through his hands, his meridians were so stuffed that Ace was feeling a huge amount of pain.


    Ace directly started using three balls which were inside his soul space to frantically absorb the Spiritual force. There was blinding white light that absorbed the berserk fire attribute Spiritual force and converted it into light attribute Spiritual force.


    Another ball which had Tribulation lighting also absorbed a huge amount of spiritual force and transformed it into Tribulation lighting attribute Spiritual force.


    The third ball was fire attribute and it was guiding the berserk fire attribute Spiritual force towards both light and tribulation lightning Spiritual balls.


    Ace soon guided the light attribute and Tribulation thunder attribute Spiritual force towards his 3D printer.


    * Hmmmmmmm*


    There was low sound from the 3D printer as Ace opened his eyes and concentrated on the pile of different metals on the table. He pointed his other hand with 3D printer towards the Pile of metals as soon Seven different colored beams of light came out of the 3D printer on his hand and under the seven colored light, different metals started changing shapes as if that were alive.


    Ace was really troubled as he had to endure a huge amount of pain, he also had to guide different Spiritual forces in his body and also send his thoughts into the 3D printer to make a perfect design. This wasn''t an easy task and any other person won''t be able to do it.


    If any other blacksmith was here then he would be really shocked! No need for a mold! No need to used strength to hammer the material into shape! No need to control the Intensity of flames with Spiritual force! This was one of the inventions of a Trouper family member. This 3D printer was made by his aunt! Ace was really proud of his family lineage.


    Soon a strange blood-red chainsaw took shape on the table. It looked completely new and was one and a half meter long. There was black casing made of Silver steel and Because of bleeding silver, it looked like there was blood dripping from the chain of the chainsaw. Ace named it Blood butcher!


    Ace took his hand out of the furnace and although exhausted, his face showed a happy expression. It wasn''t because he was able to make this chainsaw but he had a sudden breakthrough!! He unexpectedly became Rank 1 Spiritual Apprentice and Rank 1 Martial Apprentice at the same time!!


    This was because of the miraculous Cultivation technique called Fire God''s fury. It was able to give the user a fire attribute body regardless of whatever attribute there was inside the body of the user! It was heaven Defying technique!

    There were two requirements for rebirth through Flames which were, the user should be at Apprentice level and the user must Cultivate Fire God''s fury. Rebirth through Flames was even more tyrannical as it could help the user reach up to Martial Emperor level!


    Keep in mind that reaching Spirit emperor level was really hard. Reaching the Martial Emperor level was even harder than that. It was because strengthening the soul and Spirit was relatively easier but strengthening the body was hard.


    Just to break through to the Apprentice level rank 1, Ace had to endure a huge amount of pain. He had to guide all the fire attribute Spiritual force into his body from the meridians in his both hands and because of a large amount of force, he had to endure a huge amount of pain. The reward for this huge amount of pain was really satisfying.

 34 Blood butcher - 2

    Ace sat down on the chair near the table for a while. He was exhausted and his Spiritual force was depleted so he wanted to recover it as soon as possible.


    Apprentice rank!


    It was a level which can be considered as opening the gate to the Cultivation world. Some even said that you stopped being the mortal when you became an apprentice. You would start your journey towards becoming a god from here. Some would believe that the apprentice level was the true beginning.


    Ace found out that in his Soul Space, there were three Energy balls which were connected to each other by a strange white mysterious force. The light was connected to Thunder, Thunder to fire and fire to light. The strange Spiritual force was thus traveling from light to thunder and then from thunder to fire and then from fire it was going back into light attribute ball thus forming a cycle.


    This phenomenon was known as the Circle of superiority. It was named as such because it would only form in those who had two or more attribute affinity in their body which signified that they were no longer normal Cultivators.


    With the formation of the Circle of superiority, they were bound to be superior to the majority of the Cultivators.


    Even people with two attributes were regarded as geniuses but now Ace had three attributes and two of them were even rare and super rare. He was obviously a genius among genius.


    Ace felt like his mind wasn''t clear before but now he was able to notice an increase in the ability of his brain. He knew there would sects willing to go to any lengths to make him join them. He knew many powers would try to kill him to find his secrets if his abnormal Cultivation speed was found out.


    He knew he would make many enemies and would have to face strong sects which had strong experts but was he an ordinary person? No! He was a Sector Lord! He was at the top in the Top 10 people with the most power in his universe! He was a legendary Genius that shook the whole world!


    He refused to be mediocre! He refused to bow down to anyone! He would be like a sun which people can only see the brilliance of, But if you decided to touch it then you would be burned to death! His mind was clear like never before! it was like clouds were cleared from the sky. The feeling was too hard to describe with words.


    He proudly looked at the table on which there was the Weapon he made. Don''t mistake it for ordinary Weapon for cutting woods as it was meant to cut people in two! There was unexpectedly strong bloodlust being released from this Weapon. He had changed the atomic structure and grain formation inside the metal which made it unexpectedly strong. Metal inside was compressed which increased its density and this, in turn, increased the Weapon''s strength.


    The chain had Razer sharp teeth which could cut even steel and the special property of Blood butcher which can be used to insert fire, water and earth attribute Spiritual force was used in a genius way. One can trigger different kinds of reactions from this chainsaw based on the attribute of the Spiritual force inserted into it.


    Fire attribute Spiritual force was simple and destructive so if fire attribute Spiritual force was inserted into this Weapon then it would cover the whole chainsaw in flames. This would be called Blazing blood butcher!


    When earth attribute Spiritual force was inserted, the teeth of the chainsaw would harden even more and the chainsaw would become unexpectedly heavy. This increase in weight could be used as a surprise attack while doing downward chops which would increase Chainsaw''s speed and catch the enemy off guard.


    If there was water attribute Spiritual force inserted into the chainsaw then the water attribute force would cover its teeth to make them sharper. The chain would become like the edge of the sword and it would be able to cut the air. This would increase the speed of the chainsaw while swinging.


    The last surprise was hidden inside the Black casing which had a strange red button on it. By pressing this button it would cause the teeth of the chainsaw to stick to the metal blade and casing would fall off. It would then become a huge broadsword which won''t rotate but was still much lighter and faster than the chainsaw. There was also a small button beside the red button on the chainsaw which would make the casing of the chain saw to expand temporarily and it would become a Shield.


    He thought that a good weapon should also protect it''s the owner so he tried using some protective measures in his Weapons.


    He proudly held the chainsaw in his hands. He felt like he was ready to chop down humans instead of trees. He got this idea from the undead incident as he had once seen in a movie that people often used a chainsaw to chop down zombies. He was sure that people of Cultivation world would be shocked once they see this Weapon.

    Ace soon came out of the workshop which a smile on his face. He looked at the subordinate of the pale-faced which was waiting outside the workshop. As soon as he saw Ace come out, he bowed and said " Mister Shen, I would call My superior right away "


    ...


    Soon the pale-faced man came there and looked at the strange Weapon in Ace''s hand. He was surprised by the aura of bloodlust from the Weapon as his expression suddenly changed." This aura! .....t...this! This can''t be possible!"


    He was trembling! This was Ultimate grade Weapon! The ultimate grade Weapon from legends!


    Although Ace was given three tries, he didn''t make two more of the chainsaw as he knew that he would probably make a peak grade Weapon. By rules, he would instantly become an expert grade blacksmith right away.


    What he didn''t know was that he had made an ultimate grade Weapon! The pale-faced youth then looked at the chainsaw carefully.


    Ace explained it''s properties one by one and more he listened, more he felt like he was dreaming. A weapon that can be used by three different people and would produce different effects? on top of that, there were additional abilities with this Weapon and one of them was a shield while other was transformation type ability!? Weapons with transformation type ability were too rare. It was really hard to find a weapon like that even in apprentice level or even master rank Weapons weren''t able to transform.


    Ace was delighted to see this pale-faced youth''s reaction as the pale-faced youth''s face soon turned red from excitement.


    " M-Mister Shen, I don''t have authority to evaluate this Weapon, please stay here and I will call the Hall Master. " He then abruptly bowed and left in hurry.


    Ace knew he had already caused the storm and now he would have to face the Violent waves of the greed of some of the major powers, but there was strange Sense of satisfaction in his heart.


    Why would a sculptor make sculpture? why would actor perform? Why would a painter paint? Was it so that they can perfect their art? No! They want people''s admiration! they want fame! they want to show the world what they can do! They want to create an impact on society! They want their name to be remembered for centuries!


    Ace was just like that. He also wanted people to remember him. He wanted people to know him. He wanted people to admire him and his work! He was Weaponsmith and his weapons were his creations. The joy he would feel when his Creation would be recognized by the world was something only he understood.


    Even a child would feel proud of itself and show everyone it''s creation even if it was just an ugly clay toy or a messed up drawing. Ace had designed such a strong weapon so why won''t he show it to the world?

 35 Qin Hong

    Ace stood there waiting for the hall Master of the Brach headquarters. suddenly there was a huge commotion in the ground as Ace looked Over.


    He saw the person with Violet Thunder Swan on his shoulder. Isn''t that the old man from before? Why is he with the pale faced youth?


    Ace suddenly understood what was happening. The old man Shao Yun laughed heartily and approached Ace with a huge smile on his face. This Shao Yun was actually Hall Master of this branch headquarters. " Brother Shen is indeed gifted by heavens! Congratulations on making your first ultimate grade Weapon! Hahaha! You are truely a gem of my blacksmith association. "


    Ace smiled and just nodded " You flatter me. I am not that special and it was just fluke. " Who didn''t like acting tough? He was already arrogant and he had brains and browns to back it up. Although he wasn''t much powerful right now but position had it''s own power too.


    Old man Shao Yun''s face twitched as he looked this youngster. Fine, fine, young people should have arrogance. He didn''t mind it as he smiled " Let me take a look at the weapon. "


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    There were many blacksmiths gathered in the ground far away from the warehouse listening to the conversation of the duo.


    It was a rare occasion to see the Hall Master personally evaluating someone''s Weapon. In fact this kind of thing has never happened in this small town. Most of the blacksmiths would even forget about peak and ultimate grade of the Weapons as it was too hard to create those weapons.


    It was said that a normal Weapon would allow cultivator to fight someone on equal level. Elite grade Weapon would allow Cultivator to kill someone at same level. Expert grade Weapons would allow a Cultivator to jump a minor grade in Cultivation and kill their Opponent. Most of the sect''s important and geniuses had expert grade Weapons.


    Peak grade Weapons were even more tyrannical and would allow Cultivator to kill an opponent two to three Minor levels higher or it would allow Cultivator to fight one major level higher Cultivator. This means that with a peak grade Mortal Weapon you can fight an apprentice level person who was using the Weapon of one grade lower which means even if your opponent was using expert grade Weapon and was apprentice level, you can still fight him on the equal ground. Of course this didn''t apply if the enemy was using Apprentice level Weapon as it would naturally be fundamentally stronger than mortal Weapons.


    Ultimate grade Weapon would allow user to become Undefeatable in the same Cultivation level and if you were on rank 9 Spritual Mortal level the you can fight and kill up to rank 3 Apprentice level and even kill rank 1 if enemy was using Apprentice level Weapon of elite grade.


    Ultimate! Undisputable number one! Undefeatable in the same realm! This was why it was called ultimate grade Weapon!


    Ace was surprisingly able to make an ultimate grade Weapon. Ace''s weapon was unfortunately restricted by inferior level metals or else he would even be able to make Apprentice level Weapon!


    " Mister Shen, you can sell this Weapon to the blacksmith association for 10,000 Gold. You can also directly be promoted to Expert grade Apprentice level Blacksmith. As for the Weapon, it is indeed authentic ultimate grade Mortal Weapon. I can also recommend you to higher level headquarters of blacksmith association where you will be able to receive even better guidance. "


    Ace was surprised to hear this as he knew that many people would come after him once the news of him making Ultimate grade Weapon got out.


    Suddenly there was roar like laughter from outside " Hahaha! Little Yun! Where that little genius? bring him out! I wanna take a look at him! "


    there came another Loud voice of a woman soon after " You brute! you think you are qualified to meet this genius Blacksmith!? why don''t you go and see your face in mirror? "


    There was suddenly a bird cry from outside as Ace was able to see a Red robed young woman sitting on the Crane. She spoke in gentle tone " You two are always fighting, we need to make it quick, if that old monster comes then we won''t be able to gain any benefit."


    Ace''s head was feeling dizzy because of powerful aura all those people produced.


    " Lady Xing , senior Wuya, Lady Qian, welcome to my branch headquarters, what brings you here today? " Shao Yun was respectful to these people as it wasn''t even half an hour since Ace notified the pale faced youth about the Weapon and these three were able to reach here. They deserved the respect just based on their strength alone. Each one of their authority was even more tyrannical.


    Suddenly there come hoarse voice of an old man from behind Ace " Who are you calling old monster little Qian? looks like your father didn''t teach you how to respect your elders huh? " Ace was so scared that he froze on the place.


    It was like a beast had locked on it''s eyes on him and he was unable to even turn back and look at the old man behind him. After half a second the pressure vanished and Ace noticed that his back was covered in cold sweat. He directly jumped away and looked at where he was standing. There was an old man standing there which looked like a dried up corpse.


    Old man had strange wooden stick in his hand and in his shoulder was a small white cat. Cat was really small and was sleeping on old man''s shoulder, it had beautiful Metallic Gold color fur and there were some silver colored stripes on it''s whole body like that of a tiger. Old man''s eyes were closed and his mouth was covered by thick white Beard. He looked ready to die at any moment but he was releasing unexpectedly large amount of Life force. Nature attribute!!


    Every expert bowed and cupped their fists together to salute the old man.


    " Senior Qin"


    " Senior Qin"


    " Senior Qin"


    .....


    Ace was surprised to see this as he looked at the old man. Although he felt like he should also salute but he didn''t even know the old man so he didn''t bow down, he cupped his fists and looked at old man "Senior Qin "


    The young girl who was sitting on the huge Crane got off the bird as he pouted like a kid and bowed " Senior, I wasn''t talking about you, you see I was talking about my Master. He is also an old monster and he might come here to take this guy as his Disciple. "


    Old man raised his eyebrows as he looked at the girl " Don''t worry, I would explain it to your Master, this little one would become my disciple and if you want to lie to me then at least think about it first, your master is a female you brat " Su Qian blushed in embarrassment as she looked down.


    Su Qian was an expert from Golden Rose palace. She was really beautiful and was wearing a red dress which made her look like a flower. She had red crown on her head which signified that she was an elder in the Golden Rose palace. It was a power which was Governed by Female cultivators and a male can join them only if he was alchemist or a blacksmith. This was third rate sect just like Misty pavilion.


    Soon the two people who were shouting came inside and looked straight at the old man as they too bowed. One of them was a huge guy which looked like Hulk and had abnormally huge muscles. His name was Chen Mu. He was like a small mountain walking. He was 2 Meter tall and was like a small giant campared to beautiful lady besides him.


    He was the only Blacksmith Grandmaster in three Provence Governed by the Misty Pavilion and was head of the main branch of the blacksmith association in the Longshan Provence.


    The lady besides him was Han xing. She was an elder of the Evergreen sun sect. It was also a third rate sect neighbouring the Misty Pavilion but Ace didn''t know who the old man was.


    This was trouble! if only he didn''t knew the old man which could mean that the old man was famous and Ace''s origins would come into question.

 36 Misty Pavilion - 1

    Old man who was just standing there looked at Ace as he smiled and spoke in hoarse voice.


    " Young Man, come here. Let me take a proper look at you. "


    Ace was really flustered and angry. Did those people just decided his fate without even asking him?


    He pointed his finger at old man and even if he was feeling really huge pressure from the old man, he still spoke in angry tone " First I am not going to become your Disciple and second my name is Shen Tiancai, don''t call me young man. Third, you are creepy old man so I won''t let you take a look at me "


    Each and every single person on the spot was shocked. There was such a huge commotion as Su Qian laughed " Looks like you found a tough one old man " She smirked and winked at Ace " Hey Genius, wanna join my sect? there are many beautiful girls there and this big sister would take care of you~ "


    " Big sis I would like to join! " Suddenly there came loud laughter of Chen Mu.


    " Ewww...You are ugly, even if you are Grandmaster level Blacksmith, I would never allow you to get anywhere near me! This little brother here is way more handsome then you! "


    people present laughed as they all focused their eyes at Ace.


    suddenly all of the people quite down as Su Qian took out a Greed Jade with a Golden rose in the center of it.


    " I represent Golden rose palace and invite you in my sect! You will directly become a core disciple and would enjoy all the benefits. In addition we would help you Advance in your blacksmithing career " Su Qian became serious as she looked at Ace.


    " I represent Blacksmith association and invite you to join us as advanced member. Being an advance member, Blacksmith association would open many new features for you and at the same time you will be under the protection of blacksmith association. " Chen Mu said also being serious. He didn''t need any proof of his identity as He was quite famous in this Provence.

    " I am from Evergreen sun sect and invite you to my sect, We would provide you what Goldeen rose sect is providing and on top of that, we would give you 1000 years Jade bone marrow" Han xing also stated her sect''s stand. She held a Gold badge which had image of rising sun.


    Ace was surprised to hear this as 100 Year Jade bone marrow can be used to increase the strength of the body and to cultivators who didn''t like strengthening their bodies with external Cultivation, this was the perfect option. 1000 year Jade bone marrow might be even more amazing.


    Old man tapped the rod in his hand on the ground lightly as he looked at Ace. " Shen Tiancai, I invite you to Wargod alliance. I will tell you only one thing, even if the three powers which are inviting you combined all of their strength, they won''t be able go defeat me. Take me as your master and you will be part of the Wargod alliance. "


    Ace was truely troubled. He didn''t even know what kind of power they were so how was he supposed to believe those people. He calmed down as he looked at the old man. " I don''t even know what would happen to me once I go with you, old man I don''t believe any of you. "


    There was again huge uproar in the people around the ground.


    " Is this guy insane? that''s Wargod alliance! He is telling senior Qin that he don''t believe him? "


    " I would even give my all to join Wargod Alliance and this guy even has a chance to become Senior Qin''''s student! "


    " I would love to join Golden Rose palace! Living among the beauties! Man that''s the the life a real man should live! "


    " Blacksmith association and Han xing''s offers aren''t bad. He still says he don''t believe them? "


    Old man understood what Ace thought. After all he was once like that too. Thinking about each and every step of his life carefully and always looking at people suspiciously. " Shen Tiancai, it''s okey. I''ll give you time of one week. " As old man said that he became white smoke.


    Ace was sure that old man had cloud attribute! On of the variant of wind attribute.


    Cloud attribute users can also control water attribute up to certain extent. there were many mysteries powers that other attributes possessed and it was impossible for Ace to know everything about them.


    Ace looked at the three people. He declined both sects politely by saying that he needed some time to think about it and they gave him some means of contact. Han Xing gave him a Jade pendent which Ace could use to notify her if he decided to join her sect.


    He got a Golden Rose from Su Qian. He would be able to contact her by this rose. As for blacksmith association, he decided to accept their offer. Being advance member was just like being a VIP of blacksmith association and this didn''t mean he joined any power, he just joined an organization as a member and it was just a relationship of mutual benefit and business.


    Soon the three people left as Chen Mu gave some instructions to Shao Yun. Ace''s status was upgraded to advance member and he would be able to buy up to Grandmaster rank blacksmith association issued books and he would be able to take on requests by mission board of the blacksmith association. There was similar system in place like the one in Thunder Storm society.


    Ace would be able to accept different missions related to weapons and armor manufacturing and would get rewards based on his work.


    He bought many books right away from the association with his 10000 gold coins and his bag was full with books. He bid farewell to the Hall Master Shao Yun as he received his blacksmith association badge for expert rank apprentice level. It was a silver colored badge with three stars on it.


    Suddenly there was white mist everywhere around him and Ace felt someone hit him on back of his head as he soon felt intense pain on the back of his head. some one wanted to knock him out but because of his advanced memory core, no matter what kind of shock the brain received, he won''t pass out. Mist spread over whole city and soon Ace''s body disappeared from the street.


    Ace felt as if a slender figure of a young girl was carrying and standing over a flying sword while carrying him. He knew that he was attacked by Misty Pavilion but he didn''t take action as he wanted to see where this girl was talking him. even if was inside the Misty Pavilion, he still had confidence that he could leave if he wanted to.


    It was just that he didn''t like the way this girl decided to kidnap him. Am I that easy to bullie? I guess I''ll have to show all those people my power! Huge sects would only bow down to a person if either the person was someone they couldn''t provoke or someone of the higher status then them.


    Unexpectedly the old man from before was standing on flying sword looking at this happen from the air. " Interesting, Misty pavilion has guts to kidnap him? Let me see what you would do now little guy? If you can escape from Misty Pavilion, I would consider recommending you to the Wargod Alliance. "

 37 Misty Pavilion - 2

    Ace soon noticed that girl had bought him really far away from the blacksmith association and unexpectedly the girl also had his bag. There were four more people and an old man who joined the girl and protected her. They were following behind the girl and soon Ace was able to see a huge mountain range covered in Mist.


    It was said that Misty pavilion was established by a king level powerhouse which had mist attribute Spiritual force. When she died, she covered whole mountain range in mist as whoever went inside the mist would be lost and won''t be able to get out.


    There was only one way which was to draw the secret inscription on a stone with your Spiritual force which was passed down by that powerhouse. The stone would glow because of the enchantment and guide you towards the real Misty pavilion.


    Ace was really angry right now because whenever he thought that he would now have free time to take breathing and make something new or do some experiments, he would have problems coming his way.


    The girl who was carrying him reached the area in an unknown Forrest which was covered in dense white mist. One would only be able to see a few meters in this kind of most and soon the old man in the lead took out the stone with some inscriptions on it as he inserted his spiritual force in the stone.


    As soon as the stone came in contact with the spiritual force, It released a gentle yellow glow like that of a bulb. In this strange yellow light, they were able to see even clearly in the mist.


    With the glow of the stone leading them, all six of them soon disappeared inside the mist.


    ...


    Misty Pavillion, First peak


    There were 10 huge mountain peaks covered in the mist. The whole misty pavilion was built around all the ten peaks. Nine of them were for nine peak masters and the highest peak was for the sect leader.


    In the highest peak, the sect leader was sitting on a huge throne. This man was a direct descendant of the expert which established the misty Pavillion. He wasn''t a sect leader just because of his family influence but he also had the strength to back it up.


    He was wearing golden robes with a purple dragon embroidered with purple colored silk on both sides of his chest and on his shoulder were two dragon head shoulder guards. He looked like as if he would''ve been handsome in his younger days. He had dark black colored hair and black eyes.


    He was old but still had the natural aura of authority. There were other nine peak masters sitting in the grand hall. All of the powerful experts gathered in a single place made the aura inside the hall suffocating for even the ordinary apprentice level disciples.


    Old man Qin was also there and was sitting on the guest seat. He was a Grandmaster level expert and also a representative of the Wargod Alliance. It was a second rate power which was directly above the three third rate sects which were Misty Pavillion, Golden rose palace and evergreen sun sect.


    Sect leader Xuan Cai looked at all the elders of the sects and spoke in an authoritative tone " what''s the stand of the undead legion apostle? If he still insists on getting in my way then I will personally act and kill him. "

    Old man Qin replied while interrupting the elder who was about to give his reply to the sect leader " I believe there shouldn''t be more than three Apostle. One was killed by me and another one died at the hands of Shen Tiancai. "


    Xuan cai looked at Old man Qin " Senior Qin, I don''t think you should take that child as your disciple. If even the Wargod Alliance can''t find his background than either he is a genius disciple from some super sect or like undead Apostle, He is from another realm of existence. "


    Old man Qin Laughed lightly " Don''t worry, if he is from some super sect then I won''t force him to be my disciple but if he is from another realm of existence then there is no problem in taking him as my disciple. He might even become more powerful than me. "


    " My Misty pavilion investigated this person and found out that he had fire and thunder affinity. This kind of person can become a core member of your wargod alliance. "


    " That''s right but that brat is focused on blacksmithing and I think he will become a good blacksmith in the future. Wargod alliance only focuses on strength so I don''t think it''s a good place to nurture him. "


    " Oh? then you certainly need to take him out of this region, Soon the history would repeat itself. I don''t think undead apostle would be satisfied. He is a Grandmaster level expert after all. We need to be careful and if you can provide more assistance then it would be a huge favor to the Misty pavilion. "


    " I know what you fear. I won''t allow the undead Apostle to massacre the people like last time. Unfortunately, Wargod Alliance has an even bigger problem of the beast tide to handle so we can not dispatch any more experts. That undead apostle is only Rank-1 spirit grandmaster. I think we both as Rank-3 Grandmaster level expert can handle him. "


    Sect leader frowned as there was a chance that the undead Apostle would be able to kill a Rank-1 Spirit Grandmaster. If he was successful then with his powers, the undead Apostle would increase the strength of the undead corpse and make it each Rank-3 Spirit Grandmaster. This was the reason why Undead Apostles were so scary.


    " Fine, but what if this Shen Tiancai develops enmity towards the misty pavilion? I don''t want my sect to be an enemy of a future expert. "


    " Hahaha...Don''t worry sect leader Xuan. I would explain it to him if it comes down to that. "


    Xuan cai nodded as he stood up and gave his orders " Keep an eye on this undead Apostle and as for this Shen Tiancai, we would follow what senior Qin has requested. Losing a good disciple won''t affect my sect much but I can not let that undead apostle kill my people. "


    He had made a deal with this old man Qin that in return for old man Qin helping misty Pavillion with the issue of undead Apostle, Misty Pavillion won''t have any right over Shen Tiancai.


    There was once a time when a second rate sect was choosing its disciples and another second rate sect attacked at that time and kidnapped all the disciples of the sect. All the disciples who were top geniuses were brainwashed. The sect which had its disciples stolen was furious and complained to the first rate sect. the sect in the wrong was then forced to hand over all the disciples back.


    Those disciples weren''t accepted in the sect because of the suspicious nature of the sect and a possibility of there being spies in the group of disciples.


    After the incident, there were many first-rate sects that did the same and in the end, a super sect had to intervene and stop this madness. There was a rule from then that if any of the sects dared to steal the disciples from other sects or even dared to recruit the disciples from the area governed by another sect then the sect in the wrong would have to pay huge amount of Spirit Stones to the victim sect.


    The sect had ownership over all the people in the area it governed and any disciple would belong to the sect. If other sects wanted the disciple then they would have to pay some amount of money to the owner sect.


    It was different if the disciple was a genius. Sect would still own the disciple but they won''t be able to stop the disciple from joining a different sect. Normally genius disciples would be like wealth for the sect which they would exchange with higher tier sect for resources or help. Misty Pavillion did the same by exchanging Ace.

 38 Misty Pavilion - 3

    Ace was on the shoulder of a beautiful girl which was a little taller than average. since he wanted to act like he was unconscious, he didn''t open his eyes and wasn''t able to perfectly see their appearance.


    He was able to scan each and every one of them and he found out from Alice that all five of them were master rank! This was why be decided not to run or fight because a master rank expert wasn''t something he can handle right now. He knew they didn''t want to harm him so he decided to act along and see the motives of the Misty Pavilion behind kidnapping him.


    He also needed some Martial arts related to fire, thunder or light attributes. There was no way a third rate sect would have thunder or light attributes martial arts so he was just hoping that he would get some fire attribute martial arts from here.


    Six people soon reached a huge gate on the path which led to a mountain. Strangely the most stopped at the gate and above the mountain, the sky was crystal clear.


    Ace knew that this was an illusion as even if someone wanted to enter from above they would have to pass through the mist.


    The girl and five others soon reached an area where there were so many disciples of the misty Pavillion. They went inside a seemingly simple house. This house was one of the many houses around. There was a simple small well nearby, a tree giving shade to the well. The house had three rooms, a bedroom, a living room, and kitchen.


    There was no one around and the girl just put ace down on the bed as they all left. After a while ace woke up and looked around, the house was nothing special.


    It was a wooden house made of dark redwood which would shine pink when it reflected the rays of the sun. It would diffuse a dim pink light which would make the environment inside the house dreamy. The tree outside had cherry blossoms like flowers and the water in the well was crystal clear.


    He was impressed with the environment and as a person who was used to living inside metal walls and bunkers, this was a new experience for him.


    He stood there and thought about his next step. " Gun....i need a gun... fortunately they didn''t take my equipment so j can still make some guns. "


    He smirked as he looked around. There were many houses near his house which all looked identical. There were some disciples going and in and out of those houses so ace knew it was living quarters like area for disciples.


    If only a third rate sect provides this kind of facilities to their disciples then what would it be like for those second, first-rate sects? what about super sects which are even above first-rate sects? what are they like?


    He shook his head and sit down on his bed. Right now the most important thing for him was to stabilize his cultivation and find out more about apprentice level. He broke through the apprentice level in both his internal and external cultivation so the time it takes for him to get used to this increase in power would be long.


    After half an hour a disciple in white clothes came to deliver food. Ace asked him about the situation and the disciple explained it to him.


    Ace was from Longshan province so misty pavilion was the sect he was supposed to join. Although he can choose the power he wanted to join later but he would have to pass the test of the misty pavilion which would raise his status as a genius.


    He was already a blacksmith genius so misty pavilion won''t be able to stop him even if he joined the power of his choice but misty pavilion still insisted that Ace give the test and they were hoping that he would fail. This way they would get to keep a genius blacksmith in their Sect.


    Ace understood the concept as this was like being a slave and only with sufficient talent you would be able to break open the shell of the slavery and become free. You won''t have any right to make choices if you don''t have talent.


    Ace was really tired after making the chain saw blood butcher which required him to endure so much pain and concentrate to the maximum. He wanted to rest for a few days anyway so he doesn''t mind misty pavilion kidnapping him.


    He just stayed inside his house and rested for a whole week. In this one week, he found out many things from other disciples.


    He was given the spot of the inner disciple, for the time being. he didn''t have any access to the library or any other facilities except for Trending area, Sect Restaurant, and Misty forest.


    Disciples can tread various things like spiritual Crystals, spirit stones, Different weapons, armors, Herbs, natural treasures, and many other things. Ace was interested in this area because he was able to buy different metal ingots from disciples.


    he visited the area frequently and bought many rare ores. Whenever he needed some money, he would just take some cheap metal and design really sharp arrows of many different kinds which fascinate the simple-minded cultivators. One of his arrowheads was really popular which had injection needle-like design which would straight away penetrate deep inside the body of a monster and inject the fluid which was inside the needle into the body of the beast.

    The misty forest had many beasts and it was really big. It was even spread outside the mist where different beasts would get lost within the forest and they would then lose their way in the misty forest. there were three different areas divided as outer region, inner region, and core region. Beasts which get lost in the mist from outside the forest would then be sent to one of the regions based on their strength.


    This doesn''t mean that the deeper you go, harder the monsters you encounter. The forest itself like a straight strip below the 10 mountains and this strip of the forest was divided into three parts and each part was separated by a huge wall. This wall wasn''t made of strong material but was covered in mist so thick that monsters won''t even reach the wall before they get lost in the mist again and mist would guide them back to their respective area.


    The outer region had mortal level beasts, Inner region has all the apprentice level beasts and core region had master level beats. Disciples were only allowed to hunt in the corresponding area. They can''t go to a lower rank or higher rank area.


    Ace was apprentice rank so he would be able to hunt in the inner region of the area. There was a continues flow of beasts from outside the mist so disciples didn''t have to worry about ever killing all of the beasts.


    The restaurant was a place where food suitable for the cultivators was provided which was filled with different nutrients.


    There was an area for blacksmiths and also an area for alchemists. There were separate areas for inscription and formation users.


    Ace wasn''t interested in visiting those areas for the time being as he was busy making the signal emitter and signal amplifier to send instructions back to his ship.


    He had assigned an Ai to repair his ship and after three months, at least some of the equipment should be repaired. There was nothing but few nanobots which he made from the raw materials available on his ship.


    Nanobots were too small and normally there would be a swarm of nanobots carrying robots performing the repairs on the ship as big as Titanium Dragon. There was no way he would be able to repair the whole ship before 10 years.Only if he found the required materials and made even more nanobots, only then he would be able to speed up the process.


    Right now he was busy finding different metals and assembling a huge complicated transmitter. He needed to change the design of the conventional transmitting device and make it so that it will be able to pass unhindered through the spiritual force''s disturbances. There was no way he can find a good enough radiation type which can pass through the spiritual force so he just decided to make the transmitter stronger!

 39 Sky breaker!

    Ace was looking at the strange canon which was even bigger than himself. It took him a whole week to make this transmitter. The transmitter looked like a huge cannon which had a strange white bulb instead of the muzzle. It was silver in color and there were three suppose legs which looked like


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    mantis legs. as soon as he was finished with the transmitter, he asked Alice to name the thing.


    He made it capable of attacking too, this canon was capable of using fire attribute spiritual crystals to attack but its attack was no way near the power of his recurve flux and he had made this thing with a sole purpose of sending and receiving the signals from his spaceship. He had spent his remaining gold coins from the 10000 Gold coins rewards in order to make this thing.


    The books he bought from Blacksmith association included apprentice and master level knowledge about blacksmithing and different metals, there was also a monster guide book which explained about the master level monsters and a book about surrounding area which explained about the different provinces and which power governed which Provence.


    He also wanted to gather books about alchemy and herbs so that he can save himself and get an easy way to improve his own body but blacksmith association didn''t have any of the knowledge. Thunderstorm society sent him a silver colored badge after he was inside the Misty Pavilion which surprised him. It was reasonable because thunderstorm society was also a part of Misty pavilion.


    He once again like every day worked on perfecting the transmitter. This was what made him confident that he could leave the Misty pavilion. First, he can check his position with the help of eyes above in space. this way he won''t get lost in the most inside the barrier separating the misty pavilion with the outside world.


    He was sitting on a desk which was made with brown colored wood while wearing his Ocean Cobalt mask. The red lens was shining and there was a read beam of laser that focused on the electronic circuit in his hand. He used his 3D printer to make most of the integrated circuits and material used was really low in quantity.


    He required some semiconductor material like silicon which was easily available from the soil and stones around him. He also used some copper coins and different kinds of sand that gave him different periodic table elements like germanium and arsenic which were used in IC. His 3D printer was able to work on a molecular level and he could even selectively change the bonds between different atoms of elements. For example, he can just mix copper and oxygen to get copper oxide. It was an important ingredient to make any circuit board or IC.


    Ace was also able to get pure silicon from sand which was a really hard process for humanity in fission age. That was the age when humanity used fission reactors to get electricity.


    It wasn''t easy to make an IC as it required numbers of different elements like Arsenic, Silver, gold, gallium arsenide, germanium and other different elements based on application. it wasn''t that they were hard to get elements but finding the right amount of soil was a problem. There was another problem of speed as purification and separation of different elements and joining them into different chemicals required high-end equipment. His 3D printer was small and wasn''t designed to work on a large scale.


    If he had his own industrial Megatron 3000, he would be able to work even faster. He can even make a whole new spaceship with that given enough time.


    Unfortunately, making that machine required a few exotic minerals which he was unable to get in his current environment. Those materials were either found on planets with harsh environmental conditions like some gas giants, planted which was too near its star, a planet which was formed after a big supernova explosion.


    Ace was still satisfied with his current situation. The people in this world were strong but he could still kill them if he wanted to. Like that old man from before, although Ace knew the old man was powerful, Ace had a feeling that the old man won''t survive a blast from titan canon. In fact, he won''t survive a viper sniper rifle round. The shots fired by the weapons developed over time by humanity were not something that mere flesh and body of living organisms can stop!


    Ace soon finished the IC microchip and pressed it in its socket inside the circuit board. He put the circuit board back inside the chamber at the side of the transmitter and then closed the hatch. He then looked at the red liquid in a small bowl. it was red paint which he manually applied to the metal surface of the huge cannon-like transmitter.


    He was clumsy and even had got some paint on his cheek and forehead in the process but he enjoyed the feeling. No wonder people in ancient time liked doing things with hands. It gives a strange sense of satisfaction.


    Ace smiled and looked at still wet paint on the metallic outer surface of the transmitter.


    He pointed his hands at the transmitter and a strange white ball of flame appeared in his palm. He was able to control his spiritual force better after breaking through the spirit apprentice rank 1.


    In Apprentice rank, one would be and to control spiritual force outside the body and the absorption of the spiritual force would be faster.


    Normally a cultivator with ordinary attribute would be able to sense the ball of energy in his soul space. The cultivators who formed the circle of superiority would have double or triple the amount of spiritual force than ordinary cultivators. Ace had three attributes so he had triple the amount of spiritual force.


    Ace looked at the metallic surface of the cannon-like transmitter as he concentrated the flame ball in his hand. It transformed into a wide flame which covered 10 cm area and ha a mild temperature. He focused his hand towards the transmitter and soon the paint dried because of temperature from the flames. it was just right temperature and Ace was able to control it well.


    He lifted up the cannon and put it away inside his new badge which was a silver badge. This badge had 10-meter cubic space and was much larger. this was because it was a 1st rank silver level badge. He stuffed all of his different extra metals and weapons like recurve flux, the gauntlet, and the blood butcher chainsaw. He didn''t sell it to the blacksmith association because he wanted to keep it as a trophy of him passing his first exam in this world.


    It was nothing to be proud of as he would top many such exams but he wanted to collect enough memories for the time when he would go back to his own universe one day and show all of his memory to his aunt. He believed that she was still alive and fighting with humanity prime.


    She was the only true relative he had left and he hoped that she was alive.

 40 Misty fores

    There was a strong wind blowing in the forest even though it was morning. Strange bird screeching from time to time made the forest even more dangerous. There were some small lakes around which contained normal water and some schools of fish which had apprentice level beasts among them. On the ground, there were various apprentice level beasts such as wolves, hyenas, boars, bears, and elephants.


    Some of the beasts such as wolves, boars, and hyenas would hunt in groups while bears, tigers, leopards would hunt alone. There were also herbivores animals which would just roam around the forest trying to survive, but this doesn''t mean they were weak. Majority of the beasts in this forest were Apprentice level and those who lived in the group would have several apprentice level beasts with hundreds of Mortal level beasts.


    This was inner region misty forest and it was a huge rectangle strip at the foot of the mountains. one side of the strip was the entrance and at this entrance, there was a huge wall surrounding the whole forest, separating it from the mountains. This wall would prevent the beasts from ascending the mountain. There was an outpost which would keep track of the disciples going in and out of the forest.


    There was a rule in the sect that if disciple didn''t come back before after a month from the forest then there would be a search party sent for him. if he was not found then he would be declared dead. There was also a safety talisman available which would be available for students for one spirit stone. If a disciple was in trouble then they can activate the talisman and the sect would immediately send reinforcements.


    Most of the student won''t choose this option as spirit stones could only be gained by certain missions and those missions were not easy to complete. They were also used for cultivation and were even more valuable. Only the disciples who were rich or had a dispute with stronger disciples would buy the talisman to be safe from their enemy.


    Ace obviously didn''t have any enemy and even if he had, he was sure he would be able to handle it unless it was a Higher level Master rank disciple.


    He wasn''t being arrogant though as he now did have the qualification to make such a claim.

    No one knew that besides cultivating and making the transmitter, he was also studying and analyzing the knowledge he got from the apprentice rank and master rank blacksmithing books. They were worth each and every single gold coin he spent on them. They were absolutely worth it.


    He utilized the knowledge he gained from those books and used it to enhance the Recurve flux. He didn''t need to spend too much time on it and just needed to replace some materials and inscribe some runes on it which was like a child''s play to him with his 3D printer. He kissed the 3D printer o his hand as, without this little guy, he won''t have any leverage in the world.


    His recurve flux now looked like a silver crossbow which was like it was made from two horns of a steel dragon. He used Mystic Platinum for the body which was the most sturdy material available in master rank metals. It was also relatively cheap so he acquired a few hundred grams in the market.


    The second most important material he changed was the now string used to fire the arrows. It was no made from an unknown beast''s hairs woven into a cord. This was the most suitable material he was able to find in the market and he got it for quite a cheap price too considering that it was pretty much useless as most Bows and arrows didn''t have required power to provide a lethal heat to the Beast which most melee weapons possessed.


    This made bows and arrows less popular among cultivators and most of the time they relied on ranged attack martial arts to fill in the gap in their fighting style.


    Ace also changed the materials for arms of the now which now looked like two horns of the dragons. They were parts of a beast which was a fusion of snake and lizard. Ace didn''t know the name as he had quickly bought it before anyone could even spot them in the huge pile of monster parts.


    He was delighted that he was inside the Misty Pavillion because not only he had access to the apprentice level raw materials from various mines(Metals) and beats(Materials). He was also able to access the master rank resources. He estimated that unless he met a powerful beast above 5th rank master level, he would be able to kill any beast below it. He might have a chance against the higher rank beast if it did not belong to speeds type beast category.


    Blood butcher, on the other hand, got an upgrade to its chain, its frame, and its shield. It was now capable of killing any monster under the apprentice level.


    Ace, of course, wanted to test both his blood butcher and recurve flux in the forest with his own hands as even if he simulates it hundreds of time in his mind, he won''t be satisfied until he tests it in real life with the real deal.


    He was wearing a simple white robe. When he was standing casually in the line which was for the disciples who wanted to enter the inner forest, the might come from the sun was strangely concentrated around him. This made him stand out among the crowd.


    People didn''t notice the unusual behavior of the light but they saw Ace as some kind of high and mighty young master of some prestigious clan. He innately radiated an aura of authority, his body language was also of someone with higher authority and power as his back was straight, His posture was dominating without any flaws and he looked straight at his goal which was the gate to enter the misty forest.


    Spectators saw him as some divine genius sent on the heart by heaven. This was caused by his light attribute, fire attribute, and Heavenly Thunder attribute body. The three attributes were innately superior and with a personality like Ace, the effect produced made him look like some kind of saint. His eyes which were initially black were now shining with a golden color along with his hair.


    Ace noticed people all around him looking at him as if he was some kind of oddity. He realized why he was being eyed by so many people. He didn''t care though as he didn''t bother to control his aura. If anyone wanted trouble, he would mess them up all the same! The blood butcher wasn''t designed to differentiate between a beast and a man not it was designed to tell apart friends from foe.

 41 Massacre in Misty fores

    There was a group of five that was running away from a huge beast. They were all apprentice level and the strongest one was rank 7 while weakest one was rank 4. Right now they were being chased by a colossal beast. It was almost 4 meter in height and looked like a huge ape. It had reddish brown colored fur and its thick arms were even able to uproot strongest of the trees in the misty forest.


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    The leader who was a 20 years old girl was named Yi Jian was running at moderate speed compared to her companions as she didn''t want her teammates to die. She was supposed to distract this beast while others attacked the best but their plan had completely failed when the beast turned out to be a Berserk Lava Ape.


    unfortunately, they mistook it for an Angry Lava Ape and when they attacked, instead of transforming into fully red colored Ape from a black Ape, this one transformed into an Ape with reddish brown fur. This signified that it was a rare variant which was considerably stronger than normal ones. They would barely be able to defeat a normal Angry lava ape but this one was out of their league.


    Yi Jian didn''t hesitate and directly ordered her group to retreat. She was able to save her teammates from dying but the ape continued to chase after her. This Ape was rank 6 but with its berserk ability, it was able to contend with a human one level higher than itself.


    She knew she wasn''t some kind of genius that can kill the same rank beast and that was why her team usually hunted beats which were one level lower than her.


    Her life was so easy but now it would all be over if her teammates didn''t bring back reinforcements anytime soon.


    She suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood and stopped. It was as if the air itself was bleeding and the smell was so bad that she had to close her nose while running. She was able to hear faint sounds as she concentrated on the sound to listen to it clearly.


    * Vrrrrrrrrrr *


    " DIE!! "


    Yi Jian suddenly heard a human voice. There was a strange sound like a high-speed car''s engine. She was scared because of the smell of blood but she still decided to head towards the voice because the berserk lava ape was a little hesitant to follow her in that direction.


    She thought that there must be a powerful expert in that direction and as she had heard a human voice, she was sure the expert would be able to save her. She hoped that Ape just won''t chase her and she wouldn''t even have to own the expert any favor.


    She quickly jumped from her position and dashed right in the direction of the sound.


    She was almost out of breath, she looked exhausted but soon she reached the place. What she saw shocked her to the core. There was a small tent in the middle of the small ground and it was like the devil himself was guarding the tent, area around the tent was filled with dead bodies of all kinds of beasts. There were wolves, rhinos, bears, snakes, and bears. she even saw some cat type beasts among the dead bodies.


    She stopped and looked around for the expert which made the sound carefully as she knew that death was common in the misty forest and even if the sect sent an investigation squad for her, they won''t find anything most of the time.


    Soon Yi Jian found the person she was looking for. He was around the same height as her and was also the same age as hers. He was a male wearing a white robe and as soon as she saw him, she recognized him right away. " Wasn''t it the guy who was showing off from before? " She muttered but soon she was started as there was a huge roar in the forest.


    She was only a few hundred meters away from where the roar came from so she knew it was the berserk lava ape. Her face turned pale when she thought that she had dragged down the white-robed person down with her. She was sure that even if Ace was some young master of some clan, his cultivation was only Rank 1 Apprentice rank.


    She wasn''t so sure he would survive the attack of the Berserk Ape but now that she had lost the berserk ape''s pursuit, she didn''t want to be chased by the berserk lava ape again. She was really scared when ape uprooted small trees like they were just wooden clubs.


    She looked at Ace and felt nothing but pity for the poor fellow. She wanted to help but her own life was important above anything else.


    She would make sure that the beast ends up dead if the guy gets killed. Suddenly her eyes widened in disbelief when she witnessed the next moment.


    The white robbed person who she thought would run from Ape was walking towards it. It looked like he was casually taking some walk in the park and in his hand was a strange sword. She couldn''t even be sure that it was a sword though.


    '' Is this guy insane? Why isn''t he running? does he want to throw his life away? it doesn''t look like it though. Maybe he thinks he can beat the ape? but how can that be possible? I heard the registrar advising him not to go too deep as he was only Rank 1 apprentice level. How can a Rank 1 Apprentice level best a rank 6 variant beast which was as strong as rank 7 Apprentice level beast?''


    She soon got her answer. Ace pulled a string attached to the chainsaw as it started with a Vrrrr sound.


    The sound was unpleasant to the ears of the ape and it completely forgot about Yi Jian. It now focused its attention on Ace as it looked at all the dead bodies of the monster.


    It didn''t fear Ace as the Ape directly jumped on the Ace, trying to crush this puny thing with his weight alone. Ace looked up and his face twitched with anger. This Ape wanted Ace to be crushed under its butt!? You dare to try and humiliate me!?


    Ace''s face soon went from angry expression to a horrifying smirk. His enemies would never meat a good ending. He just adjusted the position of the chain saws little and put it down on the ground while it was running at full speed. He jumped away while leaving the running chainsaw on Ape''s landing spot.


    * VRRRRREEEEEE *


    Soon the loud howls of agonizing pain followed. Yi Jian''s jaws dropped after witnessing this. she saw the same ape which was giving her trouble a moment ago was rolling around on the ground in intense pain!

 42 Recurve flux and Blood butcher

    A huge body of Berserk lava Ape was rolling around on the ground in intense pain. It swiftly wanted to run away as it looked at the human it was about to hunt. It wasn''t simple pain that made it roll around but chainsaw was now cutting its bones.


    * Roar!!! * Berserk lava Ape opened it''s huge mouth and fired a huge red fireball towards Ace. Ace was started because of sudden development.


    He swiftly jumped as he focused his hands behind him and soon two blue metallic gloves covered his hands. The gloves were made of Liquid Metal Ocean Cobalt. He sent his spiritual force towards the gloves as soon there was a beam like a small jet engine. It was all thanks to his new knowledge of Master level knowledge of blacksmithing.


    In all the upgrades he did, he just had to keep the internals circuits same and just change the material. In the case of Ocean cobalt though, he didn''t even have to change material. He just used an eye of a Fire attribute Fish-type monster and used it as a lens. This allowed the lens to do an even better job and his Photon Disintegrator was upgraded to a whole new level. Of course, it wasn''t able to harm the bodies of strong beasts as the laser needed to be concentrated on a single spot for at least 10 seconds in case of Master level beasts, He was able to modify it into a speed booster of some sort.


    Soon a white jet of light burst forth from his gloves which accelerated him forward as he easily avoided the fireball.


    " Idiot beast, Die " He casually lifted his other hand which had recurve flux in it and aimed at the beast. With this crossbow in his hand now, even normal arrows would be like small rockets. As soon as the crossbow appeared, all of the instincts of the Berserk lava ape were screaming in alarm.


    With the help of spiritual force, animals not only got stronger but they became smarter. Ape type monsters were among the group which benefitted the most from it as their intelligence was innately higher than ordinary beasts.


    As soon as took out the now, Berserk lava ape started running for its life. It was sure that it would die no matter what it did in front of that bow. This was because it had seen the corpses of other monsters. weaker monsters were killed really gruesome way but each and every single strong beast had their body intact. There were weird holes in each and every single beasts and it looked like they died because of internal injuries made by those arrows.


    Ace was already frustrated right now and angry too. As soon as he arrived, he was attacked by a weird looking rabbit. There was a soft corner in his heart for cute animals and the rabbit was one of his favorites. He was given a huge surprise when he almost lost his hand to this beast. He quickly killed the rabbit and assembled a small tent provided by sect.


    He found the scenery around the forest pleasing to his eyes and it was calm enough to calibrate the transmitter.


    Unfortunately, he forgot to clean the place after he killed the rabbit and this attracted hoards of different beasts. Each and every kind of animals attacked him like waves. He was no soft egg though as he killed each and every single one of them with overwhelming strength!


    He was agile with his Photon Disintegrator on his left hand and he also had overpowering strength with Black Gauntlet on his right hand. He didn''t upgrade the Gauntlet because he simply didn''t have enough time. He was so excited to test the Recurve flux and blood butcher that he postponed any more upgrades. The results satisfied him and at the same time, there was a little displacement.


    His recurve flux wasn''t as strong as he thought as he found out by analysis that he underestimated the strength and defense of the master rank beasts. There was also increased intelligence which made killing master rank beasts even harder.


    He won''t let this ape go no matter what as it still had his chainsaw stuck in its anus. He aimed at the running ape but right then, the chainsaw fell down.


    Ace turned his head away as the scene was too gory and he just pointed the crossbow in the direction of the Ape. Target was already locked on and Ace just had to press the button.


    * Swoosh, Swoosh! *

    Soon two small arrows with black iron arrows which looked like the scythe of death in the morning sun flew at breakneck speed towards the ape.


    Poor apr didn''t even have a chance to dodge before it was killed. Ace casually walked towards the carcass of the ape and with a flick of his hand, the liquid metal Photon Disintegrator covered his face. soon after a few minutes, Ace was done receiving the spiritual crystal of the beast.


    He carefully held the Crystal in his hand as there was a strange shine in his eyes. He had a smile on his face which looked just like the smiled of an evil scientist who found what he wanted. A Fire attribute rank 6 apprentice level beast''s spiritual crystal!! Ace''s hands were trembling in excitement while holding this spiritual crystal as he thought about what kind of explosive he would be able to make with this crystal.


    Yi Jian who was watching all this had a green face. She witnessed the gruesome scene and because of the smell of blood in the air, she quickly wanted to get out of here. At first, when she saw the saint-like glow around Ace, she thought he was a nice person but his fighting style was out of this world. The smiled he gave when he killed the beast almost resembled that of a lunatic!


    '' This guy is interesting. He can kill a rank 6 Apprentice level beast while he is only at rank 1 apprentice level. He didn''t even use any martial skills. Maybe if I tell grandfather, he would be interested in this genius. ''


    She smiled at the thought as she had three brothers and being the only girl in the house, she required even more strength for her family to respect her. The disgust she felt because of the scene was soon replaced with future benefits she would get because of this genius.


    Females who weren''t strong won''t have much freedom. If she wanted to be as free as all three of her brother, she must first have strength. She can only acquire the strength with her clan''s resources and the guy in front of her was key to getting those resources.

 43 Shocking the misty pavilion.

    As soon as ace killed the berserk lava ape, Yi Jian came out of hiding and stood in front of him. She wasn''t least bit afraid of him because she knew that she was already discovered by him but since he didn''t attack, she decided to believe that this guy wasn''t a mindless brute.


    There was a possibility that if she provoked him, she won''t even know how she died but as a member of an influential clan, she knew whom she should provoke and whom she shouldn''t.


    Ace also put away the spiritual core and looked at her, he was surprised by the amount of fire type spiritual force contained within the crystal. It was bigger than mortal level beast''s crystal and unlike the mortal level crystal which looked like it was colored red, this one looked as if there was a ball of the flame inside it.

    Ace decided to observe the crystal later as he looked at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a simple white dress which was moderately revealing. She had a short sword on her back and she was also able to notice a black scaled armor which she was wearing beneath her clothes.


    "I heard that you are supposed to be locked up in jail... I can see why..."


    Ace was surprised as he looked at the girl. " I think you should not be here at all...go home. Not everyone is a genius like me girl..."


    Ace didn''t care who she was, he always had this attitude when someone tried to act all high and mighty in front of him and didn''t have the strength to back it up.


    " Your strength doesn''t give you the right to treat me like that! I was just here to say thank you. You saved me from that Berserk Lava Ape."


    " Don''t mention it, now get outta here. I won''t stay here if I were you." Ace didn''t even look at her as he was busy setting up the transmitter, he didn''t bother cleaning up all the blood because it would be a good deterrent for the beasts that would disturb him for the time being. Of course, that didn''t apply to high-level beasts from apprentice level 7 to 9.


    Fortunately, the beasts with that kind of strength we''re few and each and every single one would have a lair. Those beasts would only hint around lairs and won''t go too far from it.


    Ace''s attitude made Yi Jian somewhat angry but she endured and replied with gritted teeth. " Well, you are not me so I am doing whatever I want! Hmph! " She stomped her leg on the ground as she stood there behind a tree. She was alert though as she carefully observed Ace. She knew he was about to do something and she wanted to know what.


    " What are you making? what is that? is it some kind of formation? I''ve never seen one like this before" Yi Jian was really curious about the strange device ace was setting up.


    Ace first assembled legs and then put the bottom half of the canon. It looked like a rectangular box with curved edges which was attached with a four-legged platform. He then took out four cylindrical parts in which one was attached with the rectangular box and others were stacked on top of each other.


    The whole set up was 2 meters tall as the canon was pointing at the sky.


    " Alice, initiate the... procedure?....uh...just do it... I forgot the word."


    [ Yes master, Initiating the automated assembly.]


    [ Automatic Assembly - Time estimated: 10 seconds. ]


    It was as if the whole contraption had come alive. All of the parts extended if they were alive. Various mechanisms activated and transformed different parts into a fully automated cannon.


    [ Assembly complete. Sky breaker is online and ready to use. ]


    " Who is he talking to? " Yi Jian heard this because she was as rank 7 apprentice level expert after all. Her senses were sharp. " Is this guy perhaps...a psychopath!? " She also noticed the strange changes with the machine and she was amazed at Ace''s ability. He was a formation user!?


    " Oye! I can hear you! I am not a psychopath! You are annoying me. Go away right now! Don''t make me come there! " Ace''s face twitched as he looked at Yi Jian. He didn''t want to be mean to the girl but he would undoubtedly make her leave if she annoyed him.


    Yi Jian coughed as she shrunk behind the tree. " Oh right, never call a psychopath a psychopath. he might get mad. " She found this person quite interesting.


    She just decided to observe for now. This was the first time she came across a guy who was doing something important and even though he knew she was spying on him, he didn''t drive her away. Someone else would''ve already attacked her. Her interest in Ace grew even more.


    Soon Ace finished setting up the whole sky breaker. It looked like a four-legged small artillery cannon. Its muzzle had a huge lens which reflected the sunlight and the red light reflecting off of it looked really strange.


    " Alice, Initiate the Calibration, estimate the position of the ship and fire this thing. I need my supplies. "


    [ Already started master. ]


    Cannon soon pointed in a specific direction and fired. A red beam was shot into the sky which went past the clouds. There was even a loud booming sound which startled all the disciples of the sect and even all the influential people of the sect which were gathered in the first peak''s Misty hall.


    soon a thundering voice was heard from the first peak which was heard in all of the misty pavilion. " We are under attack by the undead legion! There was a breach detected in the founding ancestor''s Great Misty illusion formation! Disciples above apprentice rank 7 stay and fight! those who don''t have enough strength, retreat to the underground chambers. "


    The whole sect was shocked! That was the voice of sect leader Xuan Cai! He was the strongest expert in the sect right now so disciples quickly followed the order. They already knew what to do in case of undead legion''s invasion and they were already ready for a bitter fight.


    All of the disciples knew what was coming and they were already prepared for it. The barrier which was stopping the undead legion outside the misty forest was broken and it was time for war.


    Ace who was looking at the hole created in the barrier was shocked. Why was this barrier so weak? Well, whatever comes, he would handle it.


    Ace looked at the dark hole in the sky. there was black energy pouring in from the hole. It was like there was a black hole in the sky and suddenly, he saw that the hole expanded and like rain, undead started falling from the sky.


    Ace was nearest to the place so he knew he should run. he looked at Yi Jian but she had already escaped.


    [ Master, should I turn on the music? ]


    Ace remembered that he had already prepared for a situation like this one. He smirked and replied " Yes, it''s time for the drum magazine " He smiled brightly. He was actually hoping for a situation like this one but he didn''t know that it would present itself to him in the form of an accident.

 44 The arrival of the Undead Legion

    Ace was standing in a small clearing in the forest as he looked at the dense trees ahead of him. There was a hole in the sky which was raining zombies and all of them were falling down from the sky. Even though they fell from 100 meters high in the sky, Undead didn''t feel any pain and started walking towards the nearest human which was Ace.


    Ace wasn''t scared though as he looked at the huge hole. He knew that big shot of the undead legion that he kept hearing about past few days won''t appear yet. The sect leader himself was fighting the guy so all the stronger undead would be with him. There was be an intense fight between elders and peak masters of the sect and undead legion''s Apostle outside the dark black hole. Undead legion''s strongest forces were stopped outside the sect for the time being.


    [ Badass fight coming right up ]


    Soon the dubstep music from Deadpool 2 started. Dubstep was still a thing in the future.


    Ace smirked as he sent his spiritual force in his silver-colored badge. Three drum magazines each containing 100 arrows were taken out as Ace soon attached the magazine with recurve flux. he looked at the incoming undead horde and even without aiming, he just fired the arrows. The work of aiming was done by an automated motion sensor which would shoot towards anything that was moving.


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    * Click Click Click Click Click...*


    Like rhythmic music, a continues the stream of arrows flew towards the hoard of undead. Most of the arrows hit undead in the head directly killing them, some arrows even killed multiple undead. Even though ace was killing the undead really fast, they were pouring in from the hole even faster.


    Ace didn''t even have to aim. All of the arrows accurately hit the bullseye. Undead couldn''t even get out of the forest before they were killed. they were unable to move forward and more and more dead bodies kept piling in the forest.


    He noticed a few undead which didn''t have any effect from arrows. There were two undead that didn''t care for arrows and just charged straight at Ace. Arrows were unable to pierce their body.


    Master rank undead!


    Ace soon started paying attention to them. One of the undead was a fat man with yellow blisters on his face which looked really ugly. Another undead was a female. Fat undead was slow but his defense was higher than expected.


    Ace was more concerned about the female undead because as soon as she appeared he had fired three arrows towards her but she dodged all the arrows without much effort.


    She is a speed type of undead? Ace thought as he continued shooting arrows. He pressed his other hand on the silver badge which shone with bright light. He took out a silver arrow which had a bright crystal attached in the place of the arrowhead.


    This arrow was called whisper of death. The Arrowhead was made of a crystal called Gale Quartz. It was a crystal with a mix of rose red and ocean blue color. The arrow looked like an artwork but it was just a casual idea which Ace had developed in his free time. There was already an arrow like this one in the market but Ace inscribed an anti-wind inscription on it which would cut the wind.


    The crystal was able to make a wind pocket around the arrowhead which would make it faster than normal arrows. By describing the inscription, he was able to make the arrow even faster. He changed the arrowhead design which gave shape to the air pocket created by the crystal. it now was in the shape of a cone which would enhance its penetration ability.


    Ace stopped firing as he inserted the arrow on a slot beside the magazine chamber. this slot was provided so that he won''t have to take off the whole magazine while he wanted to shoot a single special arrow. Soon he pushed a small pin on the side of the bow which pushed the arrow inside the chamber.


    He then aimed at the Speed type undead. It wasn''t hard for him to lock on to the undead as he soon saw a red laser appear on the forehead of the undead. the crossbow was also moving its muzzle angle according to the movement of the undead. As soon as the female undead stepped out of the forest and into the open area, ace pressed the trigger.


    * Click! *


    With a swoosh sound, the arrow which released a blue and red light flew towards the undead at breakneck speed. The undead wasn''t even able to react before the arrow pierced the head of the speed type undead. Unlike normal arrows which only left a tiny hole behind, this one blasted off the whole head of the undead like a bursting watermelon.


    This was because of the gale quartz which would produce a small blast of air upon impact. This was because there was a concentrated wind attribute spiritual force in the crystal which it would release upon impact, making it one of the suitable material for arrowheads.


    The headless undead was still running and stopped when it was only 10 meters away from Ace. Ace was glad that all the undead didn''t have any abilities related to their cultivation or attribute. If they did, he won''t be so sure if he would be able to handle them.


    He shifted his attention to the fat zombie.


    * Click! Swoosh *


    Another Whisper of death found the target as The fat undead also had its head exploded. Ace noticed that there was another undead which was even stronger than the previous two. It was a 1.6-meter tall man who had a huge hammer in his hand. Unlike other undead though, he was clear headed. He looked straight at Ace and smiled.


    Ace knew something was wrong " Damn! Fine, enough playing" He looked at the drum magazines as he had only the last magazine left. " Do I really have to use it? I just got the spiritual crystal. "


    [ Abnormal presence detected. ]


    " Damn! Fine! " Ace looked at the undead with the huge hammer and this time he smiled back and waved at him.


    The undead with a hammer was shocked as he looked at Ace. He shouted loudly towards him " are you mocking me, mortal!? I have already become powerful thanks to my master! Lord Dark Fate would soon be able to enter the sect and when he does, annihilation would follow! "


    Ace''s face twitched as he looked at the guy. Dark fate? what a badass name. " Well I don''t care who this dark fate is, I''ll kill you all freaks the same! come at me if you dare! " He smirked as soon one more item appeared in his hand. It was a black metallic round ball which was shining because of different kinds of lights on it. Ace had used at least 6 different types of precious metals in making this thing.


    Soon he pressed a white button in the center of the black circular ball as the upper hemisphere of the ball opened and there was an empty space inside. Ace put several red fire attribute crystals which he had gathered in the forest while hunting. This was the new version of explosives which was called roar of the death!


    Ace closed the black ball and pressed some buttons on it. Soon the white ring around the ball started slowly turning red from one end to the other. this was timer as Ace threw the ball which was the size of the football, into the air.


    Ball didn''t fall down but floated in the air and went straight towards the hole. Ace knew it was time to get out of there as he tapped onto his mask which transformed into a lump of liquid metal, he threw the metal lump towards his legs while running as the ocean cobalt gathered around both his feet and took shape of rocket boots.


    Ace sent his spiritual force towards his legs and there was a bright flash. He was lifted 2 inches above the ground and his speed increased. It was as if he was sliding on a slippery surface. He soon reached the gate which was guarded by 30 - 40 disciples.


    * BOOOOOOOOOM!! *


    Loud noise even made all the beasts in the area scared. It wasn''t just a simple bomb. The futuristic technology was so advanced that a single bomb had several different modes. You can set the bomb on a flash, smoke, frag grenade, Sonic, Electromagnetic pulse bomb or even landmine mode. Ace was only able to incorporate three modes which were fragments mode, EMP mode, and flame mode. He had activated the EMP mode and even inserted his own heavenly thunder spiritual force in the special metal which was used to make the bomb.


    The shockwave soon hit all the disciples and even if they were far away from the explosion, they felt a strong headache for a split second.


    EMP mode was specially designed with keeping undead in mind as the pulse would destroy brainwaves inside the brain of the undead. Ace shivered because the bomb was stronger than his expectations. This was because he had mistaken his heavenly thunder attribute for normal thunder attribute.

 45 Dark Fate

    Misty Pavillion


    There were 10 Mountain peaks in the misty pavilion and right now a huge white barrier in a dome shape was covering the sect. In a particular place on this dome, there was a high black hole.


    There was a huge black ship which was hovering over the sect and all of the undead were jumping from this huge ship into the hole. There were undead who were flying on different kinds of weapons and were fighting with different experts of the sect.


    There was a black robbed person who was like a black flame which covered the bright sky. It was as if his presence alone made the sky lose its color and brightness.


    He was the dark fate. The grandmaster level undead Apostle of the undead legion. He was looking into the sky where two people were standing on the flying sword.


    One was an old man and other was a middle-aged man. They were Xiao cai and senior Qin. All three of them had their eyes concentrated on the black hole and Xiao cai was gritting his teeth. " Who was it? that red beam was able to break the barrier! Didn''t we order all of the master rank disciples to get out of the sect? "


    " Maybe some apprentice level Disciple? " Senior Qin pondered as he looked at the black hole " Do not worry, as long as we do not take action, Dark fate won''t fight either. so we just need to make sure that those master rank Undead don''t enter the hole. "


    * BOOOOOOOOOOM!! *


    Suddenly there was a huge blast where the hole. This blast attracted the attention of each and every expert present as they all looked at the barrier. What they saw made them shocked to their core. Dark Fate was coughing blood!? All of the undead stopped moving as if they really died. Dark fate looked at the hole with bloodshot eyes.


    " You bastard Xiao cai!! How dare you attack me!? Didn''t we agree that you won''t attack as long as I don''t open the gate!? "


    Xiao cai frowned because of this as he looked at the black robed person. The black smoke like spiritual force around the person made him look even eviler. " It wasn''t me who attacked, I don''t know who was behind that blast either " He was angry, truly angry because he thought that this dark fate was just acting so that he can take action himself.


    He and senior Qin were equally matched with dark fate and if they fought with all they had, they would surely suffer many injuries. Both of them wanted to save their strength because there was a message from Wargod Alliance that the beast hoard was going to attack soon.


    This was a great chance for Misty Pavilion because Beast hoard was a good chance to amass a large number of spiritual crystals.


    On the other hand, it was a good chance for Dark fate to amass more followers in his undead army. Transforming beasts in undead was troublesome but beast undead would be stronger than their human counterpart.


    His plans were foiled because right now he was badly injured. He wasn''t faking it as his ship was by coincidence directly above the hole and he was standing at the edge while looking at the hole below, the hole which was in shape of cone, concentrated the blast wave in single direction which was in his direction and because it was a made just to counter undead, he was injured.


    He was having a really nasty headache and there were several internal injuries.


    Normal grandmaster expert won''t be injured like this but Dark Fate was an undead apostle. Their bodies were weak innately and because he forcefully tried to pass through the gate when it was about to close, he was already injured because of void currents. The new injuries made his body even more fragile.


    He looked at Xiao cai " Xiao cai! If you don''t want me to attack then bring the one who attacked just now! "


    Old man Qin looked at the scene as he nodded. " Fine, I''ll go get him but I won''t allow you to hurt him. you must fight him fairly " He smiled as he knew the attack right now was near at least strongest attack of a rank 9 master rank cultivator. There was fire attribute spiritual force in the atmosphere so he also knew that the person should be rank 9 master rank fire attribute, spirit cultivator.


    He knew that undead Apostle had weak bodies and fire attribute was a good counter against the undead attribute spiritual force.


    " Fine, I will fight him and kill him in front of your eyes. " Dark fate had confidence in his own strength that he can beat a master rank person.


    .......


    Ace who was near the Gate of the Misty Pavillion looked at the barrier stopping him from getting out of the sect. There were several disciples there who were guarding the gate. Strongest was apprentice level 9 as all the master rank disciples were outside the barrier. If he decided to use his bow then those disciples would be really easy for him to take care of but he didn''t want to kill them.


    He thought for a while and got an idea. He had a lot of rubber saved up as it was a bi-product which he got when he was extracting some metals from the bodies of the beasts. He had saved the black rubber in his badge for later use as now he knew how to use it. He hid behind a wall and put a 10¡Á10¡Á10 centimeter block of rubber on the ground. He put some of the arrows with metal arrowheads beside the block as he pointed the 3D printer towards the stuff on the ground.


    Soon various colored rays of light started magically produce the arrows. the arrowhead was most peculiar as it looked like a plunger.

    Ace smiled when he saw the arrows. He won''t be able to rapid fire those arrows but playing with them would be fun.


    ........


    " Senior brother, do you think the undead which infiltrated the sect would be able to reach here? " The disciple who was rank 7 and was assigned to guard the gate looked at his senior.


    " Don''t worry little Hai, There are many strong disciples outside who would fight that undead so there is a low chance that they would come here " He smiled as he was glad that he was assigned as a guard because fighting undead was a dangerous task.


    * Swoosh! Thud! *


    Suddenly all of the disciples became alert because of the sound. The rank 7 disciple looked at his senior brother whose face was completely red.


    " Senior brother, what happened? "


    All of the disciples looked at their senior. They saw an arrow between the legs of their senior as they all shivered. The senior disciple who was barely able to speak yelled " Idiots! Pull it out!! "


    He fell down as soon all of the disciples grabbed the other end of the arrows and tried to pull out the arrow. Half of them were on alert. They didn''t want another arrow to hit them on that place.


    Ace knew it was his chance as he diverted his spiritual force to his legs and rushed past the disciples. Before anyone could even react, he fired three whispers of death arrows towards the barrier. He knew the barrier was weak from inside as it easily opened a path from which one person could pass through.


    He was finally able to escape Misty pavilion.

 46 Crimson Z

    the war continued between misty pavilion and undead which were over master rank. Thanks to the bomb Ace made, only undead which were above master rank survived.


    The blast affected master rank undead too and their fighting capabilities were affected. This gave misty pavilion an advantage over the undead.


    Dark fate was still unwilling to give up ad he looked at the battlefield. The hole which he was looking at was closing little by little. He won''t be able to get any benefit from that hole.


    The battlefield was covered with bodies of the disciples of the misty pavilion and other experts which were transformed into undead by Dark Fate.


    Dark Fate who was still standing in the sky suddenly noticed that at the entrance where his undead servant was trying to break through the barrier, a red beam of light appeared which broke the barrier. It also struck much undead in its way and killed half of the undead which was gathered around the entrance of the sect.


    Old man Qin and Sect leader Xiao Cai also looked at the entrance as they noticed Ace.


    " Shen Tiancai? " Xiao Cai muttered under his breath.


    This was heard by Dark fate even though he was standing far away from the two experts. His eyes became a bloodshot as he looked at Ace. " So this is the brat that killed my son huh..." He had an evil smile on his face. When he, his friend and his son. All three of them were separated and he heard that his son was killed by someone named Shen Tiancai.


    When he saw that red beam of light and then Ace walking out of the hole in the barrier, he knew this was the same Shen Tiancai.


    He directly jumped down from the ship and a black flying sword appeared under his feet. He flew towards Ace as fast as he can.


    Ace also noticed this as soon as he came out of the barrier. He wasn''t bothered though as he smirked.


    " Fool, do you think I am taking a walk in a park? this is a battlefield, I won''t come out unless I am sure I won''t be harmed. " He laughed as he stood there.


    Dark Fate became enraged upon seeing this as he increased his speed. Old man Qin and Sect leader Xiao cai also reacted quickly and rushed after Dark Fate to stop him. They were a little bit late because of shock they got upon seeing the identity of the person who they assumed to be a master rank mysterious disciple.

    Ace looked at Old man Qin as he smiled " I''ll show this old man that I am no pushover" He looked Back at Dark Fate after that.


    As soon as Dark Fate was just 100 meters away from Ace, He felt a cold chill down his spine. He abruptly stopped and looked around. As a Grandmaster level expert, his perception of danger was high. He was, unfortunately, unable to find the source of this uneasiness.


    He felt his heart stop for a second " Shit! " It was at this moment he knew, he f*cked up. " Below? No....above? " He looked up and his eyes went wide when he saw a blazing meteorite directly above him. His legs went soft as he raised his head and released a barrier made of his own blood, the barrier, unfortunately, didn''t even have time to form completely as he got crushed under the meteorite.


    * Booooom! *


    There was a huge blast in the area as all of the undead which was close to the area were killed. There were also some unfortunate disciples who were killed. The meteorite suddenly released a blinding light as it opened from the middle. It was a surface reckon pod.


    In the forest, Ace had sent a message to his ship in the sky. He had requested many things from AI and as the pod was close to the surface just seconds ago, the second beam that he fired contained new instructions. This Allowed Ace to establish a connection to Ace and control the trajectory of the pod.


    He controlled pod and changed it''s landing spot at the last moment. He wasn''t sure if it killed the Dark Fate but that wasn''t even his objective, to begin with. His real objective was to injure the Undead Apostle as much as he can and to show the old man his true strength.


    The Expression on Old man Qin''s face clearly indicated that he had succeeded in his secondary objective. He pressed a button on his Sky Breaker.


    It was a signal for his new armor which was inside the pod.


    Soon a blood red piece of armor flew out of the pod. It was left-hand armor piece of the armor. Soon the armor floated in front of Ace and as soon as Ace reached out to it with his left hand, it transformed and adjusted itself on his hand to fit his size.


    After this one after other, new pieces of armor flew towards him and attached to his body which covered Ace like a Blood red demon from hell.


    The armor was completely red and its eyes which were two red-colored dots on the smooth round helmet looked like eyes of some evil beast. There was a huge ''Z'' on the chest of the armor which was a dark red color.


    [ Crimson Z is online ]


    " Perfect, I think even the armor is ready for the fight! It feels like it''s alive! " Ace was really excited. This piece of armor was developed first in the age of Demon Cold. That was a dark age for humanity and Zombies were everywhere.


    To fight them, humans took advantage of their only weakness.


    Speed! Unbelievable Speed!


    This armor was designed with swift and rapid maneuvers and speed in mind. Later various companies developed the armor farther.


    His armor was special as there was only this one armor which was given The title of Crimson Z. Crimson series represented Top of the class maneuverability and Z represented especially designed melee weapons. It was made of Inconel superalloy. Inconel is a family of Austenitic Nickel-Chromium-Based Superalloys and Z represented the strongest metal in the Inconel Family.


    One gram of this alloy was worth as much as a small spaceship. Only he was able to afford to make a whole armor out of the alloy and use it as much as he liked.


    Ace Scanned the whole battlefield. There were few more things in the pod which was repaired by the AI in the ship. It included this armor, some supplies, and few weapons.


    Suddenly the pod was lifted and a skinny figure walked out from under the pod, it was Dark Fate. He looked like a dried up corpse and the robe he was wearing was torn. His face looked pale as he looked at Ace.


    " Brat you force me to do this!! You killed my son and now you injured me! I will destroy whole misty Pavillion along with you!! " He was like a madman as suddenly he pressed his right-hand thumb on his forehead.


    Suddenly lots of black lines spread from his head to his whole body. His body started bloating like a balloon. He was lifted up in the air and his body continues to expand and he looked like as if he would blow up any moment now.


    Old man Qin and Xiao Cai both shivered as they looked at this. Both of them muttered the same thing together " Forbidden Sacrifice? "


    * Beep beep beep... *


    On the display inside the armor, a red light was flashing none stop.


    [ High concentration of Undead attribute spiritual force detected.]


    Alice spoke as Ace noticed that finally the body of Dark Fate which was unable to expand further, blew off with a puff as black smoke covered whole battle field.


    Old man Qin and Xiao Cai Shouted at the same time " Stop the undead from gathering at one place!! "

 47 Going out with a boom

    All of the undead which were left started running towards the same spot. Unfortunately, old man Qin and Xiao cai''s warning was too late, the undead had already started gathering at one place even before the pod landed. Dark fate started gathering them just when he found out that Ace was Shen Tiancai.


    All of the undead which reached the spot where the cloud of black smoke was gathered. Suddenly cloud took shape of a human face. This was the face of Dark fate, strong jaw and sharp eyes with a long beard. It was his face when he was at his prime. The face looked at Ace as it smirked.


    " Boy, you forced me to use the Forbidden Art of Undead Abomination. Witness one of the strongest technique of undead legion! "


    all of the undead who went inside the black smoke burst like a bomb and all of the biomass gathered in the black smoke. Soon hundreds and thousands of undead were devoured the same way. some undead which was away from this black cloud was killed by disciples.


    Old man Qin looked at Xiao cai " We can not wait anymore Xiao cai. Let''s attack! "


    Xiao cai nodded as soon there was an earthquake. Xiao Cai who was standing on his flying sword jumped down from it as he was falling towards the black cloud with huge biomass in it which was rotating on the spot with black smoke getting infused in it.


    Huge boulders flew in the air as they covered the whole body of Xiao cai. He soon looked like a rock giant as he landed on the ground with a loud boom.


    Old man Win on the other hand was sitting cross-legged in between a huge rather sphere. The sphere started taking shape of a flood dragon as it flew around the battlefield with a saintly might. Old man Qin was standing on the back of the huge water dragon.


    " Boulder giant transformation? Not bad...." Old man Qin laughed as he looked at the rock giant. Suddenly, the giant who was moving slowly started speeding up. white mist surrounded the giant.


    " What a genius, able to use mist attribute and earth attribute? truly a fortune for the misty Pavillion. "


    Old man Qin let out a sigh as he looked at the black cloud.


    It was reducing as more and more undead merged with the floating ball of meat and bones. The ball absorbed all the smoke and just as it the rock giant was about to punch it, a huge hand reached out from the floating biomass and stopped the punch. Slowly it took shape of a human figure and His face looked exactly like Dark fate except for the beard.


    The human figure looked at the huge dragon in the sky and then at the rock giant. It was as big as two rock giants standing on top of each other.


    Huge undead flicked his arm and threw the rock giant in the air. The rock giant was sent flying.


    * Boom!! Crash!! *


    The rock giant crashed into the barrier of the misty pavilion as on its body, cracks like spider webs started spreading.


    " He might be as strong as a rank 4 spirit Grandmaster level cultivator. " Old man Qin who was calm now hand a surprised expression on his face. The undead abomination was never seen before the technique of undead legion.


    " He must be someone important in the undead legion... " The huge water dragon didn''t stop though, it was flying towards the huge undead with breakneck speed and leaving a trail of blue in the sky.


    * Booooom! *


    Undead abomination roared towards the dragon as it captured the head of the dragon in its thick arms. The dragon which was struggling wrapped it''s the body around the undead as it bit one of the hands of the undead abomination.


    " What a strong defense! " Old man Qin was surprised as even the sharp teeth of the dragon could only go up to a few inches deep in the body of the giant undead abomination.


    This was also due to insufficient strength as the undead abomination was at rank 4 spirits grandmaster whereas old man qin''s water dragon was only at rank 3 spirits Grandmaster level.


    Ace who was looking at the scene was amazed by the strength shown by the three giants. " Will I be that much powerful when I become a grandmaster level expert? " There was a strong urge inside him to get powerful.


    He was thinking about how to deal with this situation as no matter what he tried, he won''t be able to hurt this undead abomination.


    Even to wound its body, he would need high powered Titan cannon. Unfortunately, he didn''t have that right now. A lot of thoughts crossed his mind. He can use sky breaker, he can use photon disintegrator with a Fresnel lens. He can also use the crossbow recurve flux but the power produced won''t be enough.


    " Hmm, his defense is a problem. Usually to break this kind of defense, either you use brute force or you use penetration type energy." His eyes lit up as he remembered the Roar of the death bomb he made. it was an EMP attack and it was really successful in hurting that undead.


    " But I need a spiritual crystal of a fire attribute beast, a strong one at that..."


    He looked around as he saw that the giant dragon was unexpectedly doing well against the undead abomination. No matter how many times the undead breaks the water dragon, it would form itself again. Ace knew this won''t go on forever and he also saw all of the disciples escaping so he knew that old man Qin was just buying time. His spiritual force would run out eventually and he also would have to escape.


    Ace looked at the rock giant who was running back to the battlefield with cracks still present on the body which were mending themselves.


    " Maybe, the misty pavilion can provide me? It''s worth a try " He locked on to the giant as soon it was as if his suit came alive with energy. Ace got a feeling as if a monster had awakened and he was also able to hear a faint roar of monster. It was the core engine that was pumping energy into the muscle fibers.


    The eyes of the suit released a red light as Ace got in position and in half a second, he started running. His two legs were like a tornado, kicking the ground like a drill and his speed was even faster than a jet fighter.


    In two seconds he took to reach the rock giant, he even broke the sound barrier.


    He knew that the sect leader won''t listen to him that easily but he didn''t have the luxury of time. He directly jumped into the air and landed on the chest of the rock giant.


    He looked like a mouse compared to the rock giant. " Sect leader, I think I can defeat that thing if you help me! " He released a single directional sound wave so only sect leader was and to hear it. This was thanks to his suit which had many such unique capabilities. If you are in a city full of zombies and say something to another person then a shout would attract lots of zombie to you so this system was a must for the suit made to fight zombies.

    Xiao cai was surprised to hear this as he was just about to attack ace. He thought that ace had sided with the undead and was attacking him. This was because of the speed which ace displayed was too fast. Even faster than a rank 1 Grandmaster level person who had wind attribute. He was startled when he heard that ace can defeat the guy.


    " Tell me, what do you want? " The rock giant, of course, didn''t stop running.


    " I need as many fire attribute spiritual crystals as you can get, the higher the level of the crystal the better! You remember that blast right near the hole right? that was me! "


    Xiao cai suddenly stopped. He didn''t have any doubt that what ace was saying was true. It was just that he would need to abandon the battlefield and retrieve those fire attribute spiritual crystals from sect treasury.


    Ace also understood what xiao cai was thinking" Don''t worry, if you don''t get them, there won''t be a misty pavilion to protect anymore "


    Xiao cat''s face twitched as the rock giant broke apart. Xiao cai who was standing on flying sword looked at ace. He knew this person was from another plane of existence. This didn''t mean he could fully trust ace but seeing that ace was only an apprentice realm cultivator, he was assured that ace won''t lie. He simply won''t dare to.


    Xiao cai wasn''t sure why old man Qin trusted ace so much but he decided to trust old man Qin, the reinforcements from the worgod alliance would be coming soon and if ace did betray him, his misty Pavillion would only benefit. Ace was considered the responsibility of old man Qin and if ace did something wrong, Ola man Qin would have to give compensation to the misty pavilion.


    Xiao cai nodded and left on a mist cloud which was pretty fast but not as fast as ace.


    Ace then sit down behind the body of the earth giant and took out many materials and started making the same bombshell from before. This time it was blue color and its size was as big as a stability ball. It took him ten minutes to complete the bomb and those ten minutes were bought by sweat and blood of old man Qin.


    After 10 minutes, the size of the water dragon was reduced to half of the original one and undead abomination was missing a hand. Unfortunately, the hand was regenerating as new undead merged with the undead abomination.


    There were master rank peak masters of misty pavilion who were fighting and maintaining a barrier around the battle which prevented more undead from joining the undead abomination.


    The undead abomination, on the other hand, had completely gone mad. It loosed it''s sanity and was madly attacking the only target in front of it which was the water dragon. This was one of the demerits of the forbidden techniques.


    Ace finished the bombshell and xiao cai gave ace several thousands of fire attribute spiritual crystals from misty pavilion Treasury. The strongest was a single rank 1 grandmaster level spiritual crystal.


    Ace was satisfied as he quickly opened the blue sphere and inserted the crystal as big as a football in the middle. Other nine master rank 9 crystals were set all around it in a circle and they were bigger than a baseball.


    Ace''s heart was bleeding as he looked at the spiritual crystals, he could''ve used those crystals to level up but when he thought about the explosion he would produce, he smiled brightly.


    He inserted a first sized sprite stone in the last socket which was on top of the ball and put his hand over it. He started pouring his ''Thunder'' attribute spiritual force into it.


    After a few seconds, the spiritual stone was filled with thunder attribute spiritual energy and he closed the huge ball-shaped bomb.


    He looked at Xiao cai " Give a message to old man Qin to get away from that undead abomination, grab this thing into the mouth of the dragon and take it near the monster. "


    Xiao cai''s face twitched again as he looked at old man Qin. He soon sent a mental massage which was one of the abilities grandmaster rank experts had.


    Old man Qin nodded as xiao cai also instructed peak masters to evacuate the battlefield. They frowned but since it was an order, they soon left the battlefield.


    Old the dragon which was controlled by old man Qin was there, it soon flew towards the bomb and picked it up in its mouth.


    Ace knew his work was done here so he turned around and in split second and broke the sound barrier while running. " Run! " He yelled before running.


    Xiao cai and old man Qin who were 200 meters away frowned " How big would this explosion be? maybe we should get away a little more " Old man Qin nodded as all of the experts backed away on their flying swords.


    The dragon slowly crept near the undead abomination.


    * Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep *


    The sound from the bomb kept getting more intense as finally just when two giants were about to collide with each other, Blinding light engulfed them both. The earth around the place was lifted up in the air and then like a wave, earth sank hundreds of meters around the explosion.


    * Boooooooooooom!! *


    Each and every single expert bled from their ears and nose. Some weaker ones even coughed blood. The barrier which protected the weaker disciples had cracks all over it.


    A huge mushroom cloud of fire was lifted up in the air and the next shock wave sent everyone flying. Even old man Qin and Xiao cai staggered and almost fell down from their flying swords.


    Ace who was running faster than others was also sent flying and broke several trees before crashing into a lake.


    ....


    After an hour, old man Qin and Xiao cai reached the center of the blast. There was a huge crater which was 70 to 80 meters deep and 300 to 400 meters wide.


    A mountain nearby was half missing and undead abomination was completely gone. Even the ashes were missing.


    Ace who was laying at the bottom of the lake looked at the fish swimming " Damn! I forgot to set it to EMP mode " He laughed to himself.

 48 A New Beginning

    " How did the kid do it? our inscription masters aren''t even able to cause half a big explosion as that of the kid...we must find him! "


    " I don''t understand, how can he just disappear like that...old man Qin, you clearly saw him falling into the lake, didn''t you? "

    Old man Qin who was sitting on a chair nearby with other experts of the wargod alliance. This place was a grand hall decorated with different accessories like statues of dragons and Phoenix. there were four great beasts painted on the walls and it had an old royal Chinese style red color. this hall looked normal at first sight but the aura of the whole building is like that of a beast.


    A slumbering beast that will awaken at any moment. Any weak-willed person would undoubtedly kneel if he faced the aura. This was because it was the Alliance hall of the Wargod Alliance.


    The background of the wargod alliance was really interesting. The whole area of the three sects, misty Pavillion, Golden rose palace and evergreen sun sect was under this wargod alliance. It was called the wargod alliance because of the area of the eight provinces was once under the control of different eight powers. Each and every power has one Warrior who is called Wargod. there were eight great war gods back then and they all fought for their respective powers.


    There were delicate balance and harmony between those eight war gods but then the era of chaos arrived. space-time fabric of the realm was weakened and different cosmic entities from other realms started invading the world. This era was called the beginning of the chaos. the era is still going on and people always dreamed of returning to the peaceful era back then.


    The cosmic power which affected the eight great Provence area was the Beast realm along with undead and another realm called the spiritual sea. The creatures from the spiritual sea were the most dangerous and it took the combined might of the eight great war gods to kill a single sprite sea entity. The creature was later called Sprite Lord.


    Eight war gods sacrificed themselves and sealed the sprite sea realm for an unknown amount of time. The combined forces of the war gods then established a wargods alliance to specifically deal with the other two realms.


    Old man Qin looked at the engravings on the wall which told the story of the sacrifices of the war gods of the old. today, the threat of the undead realm was negligible and for the beast realm, the wargod alliance was able to control the spatial gate of it and use it for their own use.


    He looked at the people arguing and fighting over a single disciple. he was really angry but he didn''t have the strength to back it up. the people in the hall were all the descendants of the war gods and he was just a servant.


    He was strong and was a Grandmaster level expert but in front of the direct descendants who were able to utilize all the resources available in eight Provence, he was just another stronger insect. The people thought that they were rulers and with the passing of time, they gradually developed a mindset that all the people of the Provence were their slaves and they can order around any genius as they like.


    Old man Qin would usually pity the genius which was embroiled in the power struggle of the eight families but this time he felt different. It was because it has been a week and they still couldn''t find the person they were looking for even though the top brass of the sect utilized all their resources. Even the divination of the Fate attribute masters was unable to locate him because when they tried to find the fate string of Ace, they simply couldn''t find it.


    It was proven then that Ace was from a different realm and the Wargod alliance was still on the lookout for him not because he was a genius but because of his crafting skills.


    The Bomb he made was simply too good for the Wargod alliance, they had a perfect monster farm in the form of the beast realm and if they can get a tool which can kill the beast hordes with just utilizing the monster cores, then the harvest would be more than worth it. The only problem now was that the method to make the beast core bomb was in the hands of Shen Tiancai and he was missing.


    .....


    There was a huge mountain near the Wan gong clan village. This village was said to be founded by a member of Wan clan which was one of the prominent clan in Chaonan city. the person who founded the village was an exiled warrior of the Wan clan. Since the village only consisted of most of the Wan clan members, this village was named Wan Gong clan village. the mountain nearby was a source of food and livelihood of the villagers. they didn''t have many martial artists in the village but the lifestyle of the villagers was better than most villages as they had some small heritage from their ancestors.


    The mountain was also named Wan Gong mountain ever since the Wan clan warrior moved here. Although the villagers were stronger than average mortals of the world, they were only able to explore the outer parameter of the mountain. the middle layer of the mountain was filled with master-level beasts and it was said that on top of the mountain, there lived a grandmaster level beast which was sleeping there ever since the founding of the village.


    Today was the day of the festival for the village as it was the day of great importance for the whole village. every year on this day, the strongest warriors of the clan would enter the village and hunt the strongest spiritual beast they can find. The winner would be awarded the nurturing of the clan and would be able to become the next clan leader of the clan.


    Ah Wan was one of the warriors that entered the forest this day and decided to try his luck. he was only a rank 6 mortal level and didn''t have any remarkable strength but he was at least confident of killing a few mortal level beasts and earn the favor of the big shots of the clan.


    Ah Wan was hiding in a bush right now while looking at his first prey which was a small lizard the size of a dog. it was called burning crown lizard and was one of the rare beasts found within the forest on the mountain.


    Ah Wan was prepared to sneak attack this lizard with his black metal spear and was already dreaming of making good money with the corpse of this beast but the next scene made him freeze with fear.


    The lizard was attacked by a flying object. He didn''t know what it was but it was really fast. the object suddenly opened and there came a steel net out of it which engulfed the lizard, capturing it with ease. Ah Wan had never seen something like this and he wanted to quickly run away. He waited until the flying object restricted the net and pulled the lizard which was still struggling in the net inside its body and left.


    ......


    [ Master, there was a person near the lizard which was captured by the Drone 76 just now.]


    It was black all over the room with various kind of lights flashing on different small and big screens. The sweet voice of the girl was echoing inside the room as a boy sitting on the chair opened his eyes slowly and smiled.


    " Don''t worry ruby...its time for us to reveal ourselves. I''ve prepared enough. we will be taking over this mountain in few days so keep an eye on the village for me for now."


    The sweet voice replied to the boy in calm tone


    [ Yes Master ]

 49 Battle of Longdan Part 1

    Ace was looking at a scene in front of him while sitting on a chair. the room was dark but the light reflected off of the various metallic objects gave the room a chilling atmosphere.


    This room was his secret hideout which he prepared in a week. it was underground in the wan gong mountain and was made of the minerals processed from the mine.


    the mine was called Iron stronghold 1 as it contained a huge amount of iron in the soil which was rich in spiritual force. Ace made some simple mining robots to mine in the mountain and as he got more iron ore from the mine, he continued to expand the mine on a larger scale.


    Today, he was going to finish the first industrial-grade mining robot named [armadillo classic]. It was a bulky vehicle like a robot with legs and arms like that of transformers. the robot was capable of performing all kinds of the mining operation and at the same time, it can also process the raw soil into finished iron chunks in its chest which had built-in finance.


    Ace looked at the finished circuit board of the armadillo classic as he smiled in satisfaction. There were many way more powerful versions of the mining robots but this model was selected because of its simplicity and robust construction.


    There was a huge chest that was as big as a car and was made of Spiritual steel, its head was a small assembly of cameras, sensors, and lights. the arms and legs were small like that of a real armadillo with sharp claws like an excavator to send the unearthed soil into the furnace in its chest. When ace stood beside it, he looked like a puppy standing near an elephant. it took him a whole week to finish this robot and finally, he can advance to phase two of his plan.


    it was to build a robot army and gather resources of the world on a larger scale. Although he was interested in raising his cultivation level he simply didn''t have


    Patience to endure the arduous and long process of meditation. in the age he lived in, everything was really fast and as a hair to the multi galactic family, he had everything he wanted and would appear in front of him instantly.


    the cultivation however required hard work so he decided that until he finds a way to advance his cultivation level by leaps and bounds, he won''t bother to cultivate at a slow pace like every other cultivator.


    Ace looked at various data on the screen as he pondered upon the recent research on the spiritual force of this strange world. the physics of the world was in some way similar to his previous universe but there were some fundamental differences that gave the world its unique identity. The first abnormal thing about the world was that the space fabric of the universe was different compared to his previous world. it was much sturdy but at the same time, it was also easily affected by the spiritual force of the atmosphere.


    the second thing in this research was about different attributes in the spiritual force. the people of this world believed that there were 12 or even 15 types of attributes in the world, but the research showed that there were 3000 types of different attributes present in the spiritual force of the world.


    the research shocked him and he wonders what it would feel like to acquire all 3000 different attributes. of course, he was unable to distinguish all 3000 elements apart from each because only those who had an affinity with a certain element can sense the elements in heaven and earth. Ace was satisfied with this research and it drove him to immerse himself into more research as he once again buried himself among varied lifeless machines and instruments.


    ...


    Wargod alliance was on high alert right now as they search for Shen Tiancai was stopped midway and an emergency meeting was called because of a sudden spiritual beast portal''s appearance.


    Wargod alliance higher-ups were all gathered in the assembly room and discussing the current situation.


    " The strength of this time''s beast hoard is too big! my army cannot handle them. we need reinforcements! " A strong man with raging aura was standing in front of all the elders of the wargod alliance as he looked at the current generation alliance leader.


    the alliance leader was a young man clad in white robes. he looked young but his cultivation level wasn''t that simple. he was a peak spirit grandmaster.


    The youth looked at the person and smiled as he spoke in a calm tone " General Quan chi has served the people of the Jiang province with all his heart for 100 years without ever losing a battle. I am sure it must be tiring on you...how about we listen to the elders of the alliance first and discuss the issue "


    General Quan chi clenched his first hard as he looked at the young man. this person didn''t care about the mortals of the world at all. In fact, the whole wargod alliance was corrupted and each and every single person was scheming against each other.


    10 years ago, the previous alliance leader gave up his position to enter closed-door cultivation. the youth in front of him became the alliance leader with his schemes. Although other elders disliked him, they couldn''t do anything as the young man had the support from his father who was the vice leader of the alliance. His father didn''t give up the vice leader position and made his son the alliance leader.

    Whole alliance this came under the control of the father and son pair. the eight great province had never seen peaceful days after that as the wargod alliance started gathering and snatching geniuses from all the eight great provinces. Those who refused to join were either cast out or harassed constantly. those who joined were accepted under the father and son faction which had grown powerful in recent hears.


    " Alliance leader Han, we can not delay any longer. the spiritual beasts have three great generals which are snow snake prince, Devil Wolf, and A Corrosion Ape. The vanguard forces are crushed and the beast army is marching towards the Longdan province. " General Quan chi cupped his fists as he looked at the youth with pleading eyes. he was a fierce warrior but for the good of the people, he was willing to bend his head down to those in power.


    Han Shuya who was the alliance leader nodded as he looked at the elders and passed the order " We will use this chance to train the Dragonslayer legion. The geniuses we gathered are greenhorns and requires tempering by blood! Elder Hong will be leading the dragonslayer army."

 50 Battle of Longdan Part 2

    Longdan Provence was known for its remarkable forests which are full of resources. Many small organizations and sects would choose this place to train their disciples in the forests of longdan. the forest was named Nature''s harmony. the forest had a large amount of nature and healing attributes herbs, trees, beasts, and resources related to the nature element.


    The forest was explored by many multiple times and was connected to a different forest which was called Greenland of slaughter or simply slaughter woods.


    Slaughter woods got its name from the number of spiritual beasts that roamed inside the forest. No sect would dare to send their disciples into this forest as the sheer amount of beasts fighting against each other in this forest would cause the rivers of blood to flow from the place. there were many high-level beasts that roamed the and even master-level martial artists would parish here.


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    The Nature element of Nature''s Harmony would calm the beasts down so the beasts would always stay back in the slaughter woods and rarely would they come in Nature''s Harmony. there was an outpost near the border of Nature''s Harmony forest which was the only way one can enter the forest because as the longdan province faced the beasts hoards in past, a great wall was built to stop the spiritual beasts outside the wall.


    the wall was named The great wall of longdan and was protecting the citizens of the Longdan Provence for the past 1000 years. Today the wall was broken in many places and there was blood all around the place. there were soldiers running around in black and yellow armor on the wall and some people in white cloths taking the injured soldiers away. there were also people in brown robes cleaning the walls of blood and collecting the severed limbs and dead bodies.


    there were also people in blue robes who were collecting the corpses of spiritual beasts and harvesting the spiritual crystals from their bodies.


    MEOW!


    " Stupid beast! I told you to land! why won''t you listen to me! land here! "


    Suddenly a huge chubby golden cat with silver stripes landed on the ground. it was as big as a truck and it seems like it was angry at something but when an old man with a wooden stick got down from the back of the cat, the cat calmed down and shrunk back to the size of a normal cat. The other two who were sitting on the back of the cat were forced to land on the ground.


    all the people were shocked at this scene and some soldiers even surrounded the old man Hong but when they saw that another person was general Quan chi, they stopped and saluted their general.


    " Arrange a room for Elder Hong and Medicine Elder Chi. The reinforcements will be here in the afternoon and the remunerations for the dead will be announced tomorrow! "


    There was silence on the wall as all the soldiers returned to their work. the beast tide had caused devastating damage and as the only grandmaster level expert, General Quan chi wasn''t able to fight off three beasts by himself. Fortunately, the beasts retreated by themselves and the wall was safe for now. their elder hong was speechless at the scene as he saw many master level beasts corpses near the wall and the most eye-catching one was a huge elephant which was like a jumbo jet airplane.


    it was a grey behemoth and even after a day had passed since it died, the soldiers were unable to harvest everything from its body. this was why the beast hunting was a lucrative business as the material gained from a beast would make it up for all the damage done.


    soon the higher-ups were led by Quan chi to a fortified building where the meeting was held. this time, the beast tide was really weird. the beasts won''t retreat when the human army was about to collapse and the fact that a grandmaster level beast withdrew from the battlefield as soon as the army was about to collapse was really strange.


    " I think someone is manipulating the beast tide. we must be careful "


    " But even if someone is manipulating the beast tide, why would they spare us? could it be that they don''t want to kill us? "


    Elder Hong said with a grave expression on his face " It''s to lure the dragonslayer legion! they are the best students of the martial arts we have and if they perish in this fight, the strength of the wargod alliance would greatly weaken. However, the alliance leader has given his order so we can not stop the dragonslayer legion from coming here. we must ensure the safety of some of the best geniuses from the legion. "


    " You are right elder Hong, I will provide my strength with my healing attribute " The Medicine elder who was a bald old man with a wooden stick spoke. he looked like some kind of hermit who was hiding enormous strength.


    General Quan chi stood up and bowed to the both of the elders " I and my army will also try our best to ensure the safety of the dragon slayer legion "


    " General, the geniuses may be better in terms of strength and cultivation talent but they lack the fighting experience. I hope you train them and teach them the rules of the battlefield when they arrive here. " Elder hong said as he took a sip of the tea.


    ...


    Wan gong mountain


    A huge monstrosity made of metal was excavating inside of a cave while thousands of bats were attacking it, they were fruit bats of the wan gong mountain, they would usually go out in night and eat all kinds of fruits from the trees. they were weak individually but once some creature provoked them, they would attack the beast in group of thousands and shread it to pieces.


    [ Armadillo Classic shield is damaged, durability 56% ]


    [ Armadillo Classic shield is damaged, durability 55% ]


    the messages were flashing on a screen in from of ace as he was observing the fight. the blue sphere of energy around the armadillo classic was protecting the metal frame of the robot. Ace used a strange yellow crystal he obtained from the previous excavation to fuel the shield generator and he found out that that yellow crystal was called Thunder Quartz. it was able to store the power of thunder and with some induction from the magnetic field, he can make it release the power at a stable rate. he was using five fist-sized crystal to run the [Armadillo classic].


    " So it can run for approximately one hour. if I make a generator, I can make it last longer. but we need a power source for that. Ruby, find the area with oil nearby. "


    [ The nearest area is wan gong village which has an oil lake in the south of the village. ]


    " I guess it''s time to launch the drones and see if they can fight the cultivators of this world. "


    he turned around his chair as he stood up and walked out of the room as he entered a huge underground hall where a machine the size of a building was continuously producing humanoid robots which had black armors and were made of simple motors and metal.


    Ace was able to use the materials excavated by small drones to make the 3D printer customized to produce robots so that he won''t have to rely on his own 3D printer and it will last longer. He was determined to reduce his reliability on the 3D printer on his arm.

 51 Battle of Longdan Part 3

    * Boom boom boom boom boom *


    A martial artist was playing the drum with two wooden sticks while sweating as he looked at the dark black sky near the horizon. He was standing on the wall as he looked at the pitch-black sky far away as if the night was coming even though it was day time.


    the wall which was hundreds of miles long was packed with people right now. there were all kinds of people on the wall with various weapons.


    All of them had some kind of clothes which were black and red with a dragon symbol on their chest. this was a dragon slayer region made up of the most talented martial artists and genius of the eight provinces.


    There were some who were using military-issued weapons while some were using heir own weapons. there were also some without any weapons. The leader of the dragon slayer legion which was a middle-aged man was standing beside elder hong and looking at the darkness far away in the sky.


    " Elder Hong, We are fortunate this time, the hoard is full of Demon bats. it will be good training for the kids. "


    elder Hone who was rubbing his chin while thinking nodded and looked at the middle-aged man " You are right, this beast group is likely to be the part of the demon Wolf''s beast legion. I am surprised to see that the demon wolf can command this many Demon bats."


    the Demon bats were low leveled beasts and only one in hundred would be Spiritual Demon bat which was comparable to the mortal level martial artist. there would be one apprentice-level spiritual Demon bat among hundreds of mortal level bats and by the looks of the army approaching, elder hong knew that there must be at least 1000 master level and 1 grandmaster level spiritual Demon bat.


    the middle-aged man shouted to the youths in dragon uniform. " If there is a grandmaster level spiritual Demon bat, leave it to Grandmaster Hong! Kill the rest of the beasts! Archers! attack on my command! " Han Bai looked at the sky and concentrated. He was a park Sprit Master and was the leader of the Dragonslayer legion.


    As soon as the bats crossed the mark left on the ground, Han Bai roared to the sky " Attack!! "


    * Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Twang!! Twang!! *


    Half of the archers were using various types of bows while the other half were using Crossbows. The rain of arrows almost covered the whole sky and it was as if the doomsday was approaching. The arrows didn''t differentiate between mortal or apprentice level beasts and reaped countless lives. The sky was raining dead bats and blood which excited some of the battle crazy youths which some paled at the sight of the bloody scene.


    There were some who were using their unique powers with bows like fire arrows, thunder arrows, wind arrows, Water arrows, all the different attacks would create a huge dent in the formation of the bats in the sky. Still, the bats were like the never-ending tide as they continue to advance and soon reached the wall. the demon bats were bloodthirsty as they attacked the humans and soon another massacre followed suit.


    Some of the people were covered in fire from head to toe, some had unique cultivation techniques which allowed them to perform various attacks. Some powerful geniuses even killed the bats with their weapons only.


    Elder hong noticed several promising youths. There was one who was releasing crackling electricity from his hands. his eyes were yellow and filled with electric current and his body was flashing from left to right like lighting which drilling holes through various bats. the bats were being killed and their corpses were being burned at the same time.


    Another youth was standing still while holding his sword. Although he was standing still, the bats were unable to enter 3 meters radius around him. as soon as a bat tries to enter the area, the lightning-fast sword stroke would end it''s life. there were was a pile of dismembered corpses of bats around the youth.


    another youth which was huge like a bull was swinging a metal ball which spikes tied to the pole with chain. the metal ball would smash the bats to pulp upon impact and the youth was covered in the blood of the bats from head to toe. the bats were simply swatted like flies near him.


    Elder Hong even saw a master level bat grabbing a disciple and flying in the sky. as soon as elder hong was about to make a move to save the poor fellow, a frost spear reaped the life of the bat as the student was saved. the person throwing the frost spear was a beautiful girl.


    Besides her was another girl with metal fans behind her protecting her from the bats with her fans which would create a windshield around them and at the same time by swinging the fans horizontally, she would send wind blades to the bats, slicing them to death.

    " This is serious! we need to attack the stronghold of the demons now! Many of our people have seen the creatures capturing spiritual beasts from the mountain! that mountain is our land! we can not let the demons take over the mountain! "


    the Clan leader of the wan gong clan village was looking at the elders bickering with each other. There were some who said to go to war and some who said that they should first find out the strength of the enemy.


    After an hour of discussion, the clan leader finally spoke " I shall announce the final decision now. We will gather half of the army and head to the wan gong mountain tomorrow. The other half would act as the reinforcement if something unexpected happened. Elder Ming would be in charge of the village while I would lead the army my self "


    This decision was soon accepted by all of the elders. They didn''t notice that there was a small spider watching all this play out from a small crack in the ceiling of the building. it was actually a small mechanical robot.


    In the warehouse of the huge cave, ace was looking at the screen as he tapped the table with his hand. " We have one day, finish the armament of the first squad by tomorrow and equip them with non-deadly weapons. we need to show them that we aren''t guests. "


    soon a mechanical sound followed.


    [ Squad one, initiating the armament. Equipping the squad with Punch cannons and heat-seeking missiles DB 230 ]

 52 Battle of Longdan part 4

    The sun was rising in the morning as there were clouds covering the sky.


    On the wall of longdan, several thousand youths were standing while watching the people in brown robes take away the dead bodies of the monsters and soldiers. there were also people in white clothes treating injured geniuses and soldiers.


    Wall was flooded with blood and there was even a huge demon bat the size of a truck laying on the ground near the old man Hong.


    " You can rest now! Go and recover whatever power you have! there is news that even stronger wave would be coming at down today! be prepared! " General Quan chi looked at youths as he couldn''t help but be nervous. the monsters weren''t intelligent and so they won''t use wave attacking style. it the monster''s first wave of attack was to lure the Dragonslayer region, then the second wave of demon bats can be said to be the probing attack to access the strength of the Dragonslayer legion.


    He looked at old man hong as he noticed the same kind of expression on the old man''s face. he bowed and whispered to the old man " Elder Hong, I think there is a huge conspiracy behind this attack. There is someone manipulating the beast army. I am afraid we might not be able to defeat the next wave of attack."


    Elder hong nodded but he looked at General Quan chi and shook his head " I am not worried about the next wave of attack General. Someone Capable of making Grandmaster level beasts into subordinate won''t be so simple. I think they are targeting the whole Wargod alliance and want to nibble away at our strength bit by bit "


    .....


    Wan Gong clan village


    There was a small army gathered at the entrance of the village. there were people in black armors and 10 people in Dark red armors. the clan leader was clad in Purple armor and had a huge hammer in his hand.


    " Warriors! there are some intruders in our clan''s mountain! they want to take over our resources! our lifeline! The Wan Gong Clan will never tolerate this!"


    The warriors roared in unison as they stomped their spears on the ground. The clan leader was like a Hero to them. He was sprite master rank expert and was also proficient in [plummeting Starfist]. It was a set of combat techniques that were passed down in the Wan Gong family since the first clan leader.


    Soon the small army of 200 people marched towards the mountain and the one leading them were the soldiers who saw the strange mechanical contraption kidnapping the monsters from the mountain. they were called mechanical contraption by the people of the village because they couldn''t sense any aura from the creatures. As a martial artist, the soldiers were sensitive to the changes in spiritual force. when they couldn''t sense any aura of life from the creatures, they knew that the creatures were mechanical contraptions or puppets.


    the art of puppeteering was considered a side branch of the Array masters and by carving different arrays on different materials, they would make different kinds of puppets.


    Many major sects would use puppets for mining or agriculture or combat training but they had never seen a puppet strong enough to directly capture a mortal level beast.


    Soon the army reached the middle section of the mountain where the recent puppets were seen as the clan leader Bai Wan Gong ordered them to set up a camp and ordered the army to divide into 10 teams with an elder in red armor leading each team to search for the enemy in the forest. the clan leader stayed in the camp to defend it in case the enemy attacked.


    " Remember, try to capture them first. if they are resisting, kill them. identify who they are and come back before dawn today. the nocturnal beasts are stronger at night and I don''t want a single one of my clan members to die. send the signal if you can''t handle to situation and others would soon gather at your position. if you don''t return at dawn, I will personally lead everyone to search for you. " The clan leader Bai Wan Gong gave more orders for 10 minutes and then all the elders left the camp with 10 soldiers with each elder. remaining 100 soldiers started in the camp to act as reinforcements.


    After two hours, Elder Mo was leading a team of 10 through the forest as he was searching for any trace of the enemy. He didn''t notice that there was a small spider drone sitting on the tree nearby watching his every movement.


    [ Squad 1 ready. Awaiting orders ]


    The Mechanical voice of the new AI Ruby sounded in the room as Ace looked at the screen while drinking the juice of the fruits collected from the forest.


    " Send in the Prototype first. let''s check the combat ability of the Robot first "


    [ Initiating attack. Dispatching the Prototype ]


    [ Soldier Class: Mark 1 ]


    Soon the there was a suppressed rumble as the doors blocking the cave opened. there was camouflage of the stone which made the door look like part of the mountain. A black robot walked out of the cave which looked like a human but it didn''t have human skin. instead, it was covered in black armor like that of the ancient Chinese soldiers. its head was covered in the hood and there was only one eye that looked like a CCTV camera. It was holding a sword and looked like an assassin.


    Soon the robot moved through the forest and straight away appeared in front of the team being led by Elder Mo.


    As soon as Elder Mo saw the puppet, he stopped. he knew that the people trying to take over the mountain had a formidable expert who could manufacture the puppets with the strength to fight against mortal level beasts.


    He looked at the puppet and he knew that he could handle the puppet as he was an apprentice rank expert but he still remained cautious as he looked at the other 10 warriors by his side. " Go ahead and attack it together. It will be good for training. I would make sure none of you get injured. " Elder Mo looked at the puppet as he held his sword and all ten of the warriors surrounded the robot.


    There was a tacit understanding between the warriors as soon a warrior behind the robot attacked with his sword. he was a spirit mortal and his sword was covered in frost energy. the blade was cold and if it penetrates the body, the blood of the enemy would be frozen.


    The robot released a mechanical sound as the red light flashed in its eye as it blocked the attack with the sword. It extended its hand and a sonic boom was heard as a shockwave hit the warrior in the chest and sent him flying.

    [ Test successful, Strength of the Soldier Class: Mark 1 at Mortal realm level 5 ]


    Ruby was analyzing the strength of the robot as the mechanical voice sounded in the room.


    After the sonic boom, Elder Mo knew that the warriors would have a tough time handling the robot as he ordered all of them to attack together.


    Wan Gong clan was known for their water elemental affinity as many warriors used water aura to enhance the sharpness of their sword. they all attacked together as the robot unleashed a yellow-colored energy shield around itself. only one sword managed to pass through the shield which belonged to elder Mo and Hit the robot in the shoulder.


    the sharpness of the sword wasn''t comparable to the other warriors because elder Mo was gifted in the Mud element. it was a rare element which was birthed when parents had water and earth element. it was a weaker version of the dual elements of water and earth. The mud element made the sword somewhat sharp and heavy.


    The Shoulder of the Robot was broken as the right arm, which shot the warrior with a sonic boom was sent flying.


    [ Shield energy 20¨G ]


    Elder Mo was just smirking as the robot grabbed elder Mo''s sword with the other hand. The chest of the robot had a little triangular flap which opened and a half-foot long Rocked came out and detonated right between the robot and elder Mo.


    * Boom! *


    there was a huge sound as some of the Warriors standing close were sent flying and some were bleeding from the ears.


    A warrior stood up and looked around " Elder Mo! are you alright!? " All ten of them frantically searched for the Elder as they noticed that Elder was laying a dozen meters away from the fight scene and two of the trees he hit in the way were snapped.


    [ Sonic missile: Nonlethal DB 230 test successful ]


    Ace looked at the data on the screen and he couldn''t help but smile. He was able to replicate a small contraption from his universe in this place which was a sonic missile. the concept was to use the energy of the blast to produce shockwave.


    Elder Mo had a few ribs cracked and he was bleeding from the chest. He stood up with the help of the other warrior as they saw the robot. unfortunately for Ace, the robot''s internal system couldn''t endure sonic blast at close range as the robot''s electrical circuits were dead.


    Ace still smiled as he looked at the data " The test was successful, initiate the attack now. "

 53 Battle of Longdan part 5

    General Quan chi was soaked in blood and was looking at elder hong with a worried expression " Elder Hong, the scouts didn''t find anyone. they only saw the three Grandmaster level beasts before the whole scout squad was annihilated. at this rate, the waves would surely weaken the Dragonslayer army and they won''t be able to fight if the grandmaster level beasts decided to launch an all-out attack. "


    Elder hong frowned as he looked at the great wall. There were bodies of Rock gorillas everywhere. Rock gorillas were peace-loving creatures and won''t leave the forest unless someone provoked them. they were 30 to 40 meters tall and would eat the branches of the trees. every single rock gorilla would become a master level beast when they matured and here, almost 50 rock gorillas attacked together.


    The Dragonslayer legion had 100 people in the master rank and after the last battle with demon bats, they fought with various beasts of the forest. the second wave consisted of flying jade serpents. the third wave was made of Purple night Monkeys. the fourth wave was made of death charging bulls and shadow wolves. the fifth was made of frost demon snakes.


    The rock monkeys were the 10th wave and right now the Dragonslayer legion was well experienced and trained at fighting monsters. There were some geniuses who broke through their respective levels and advanced in their cultivation. They even got a huge harvest of spiritual crystal and each and every single person was happy at this time. No one cared about the casualties in the army and everyone was cheering and roars of laughter were heard all around.


    Elder hong knew that this happiness won''t last long as the three grandmaster level beasts had yet to show themselves. He was frustrated because of the Alliance leader continuously declining his request to enter the slaughter woods and kill the grandmaster level beasts.


    He raised his staff and it shined in blue light. the light hit the last standing rock ape which was at its death door in the chest, reaping its life. He looked at general Quan chi " General, we are just pawns in this fight...we must follow orders. if the Alliance values the lives of the youths in Dragonslayer legion, then they would surely do something about it. let the youths enjoy tonight and keep watch over the surrounding of the forest."


    ...


    * Ka-Boom! *


    There was the sound of a sonic boom as a warrior was sent flying. The body of the person hit the tree and collapsed on the ground.


    All of the other fighters knew that the next attack of the puppets was here as they soon released the signal in the sky. At the tent of the Clan leader, a soldier saw the signal and reported it to clan leader as soon the army marched towards the location of the robot squad.


    Clan leader Bai Wan Gong was running at full speed and even the two elders beside him couldn''t keep up with him. He soon left the army behind and reached the position of the group of warriors fighting with black armored puppets. he saw a puppet get hit by a sword but some strange yellow light blocked the attack and the hand of the puppet released a strange loud sound that sent the worrier flying. There were some warriors at the apprentice level who were able to endure the attack but they would soon lose the strength to fight after four to five such attacks from around them.


    Only the elders who were peak apprentice-level were able to hurt the puppets. Bai wan gong was furious as he rushed in the middle of the robots and brandished his saber which was emitting a cold glint like a blade made of pure crystal ice. He was a rank 3 spirit master and was the strongest expert after the old monsters in his family, who would rarely come out and were focused on cultivation. The strength of the Spirit Master wasn''t something a normal metal can endure as even after putting up the shield, the blade of Bai wan gong was tearing the robots in two with every single slash.


    Ace looked at the screen as he ordered " Ruby, send in the squad 2 and 3 and attack the clan leader. let us test the strength of the robots in a group fight. "


    Soon, there were 20 additional robots around the clan leader Bai wan gong. He was swinging his sword with great ferocity as he noticed more and more puppets appearing from the forest. There was a smirk on his face as he charged towards the incoming robots as he knew that the location of puppet master should be in the direction the puppets came from.


    Bai wan Gong was confident in his ability to break through the 20 more puppets as a cold aura surrounded his blade. " Taste the might of my blade technique [ Wrath of the white tiger]!


    As soon as Bai wan gong announced the name of the technique, His blade was covered in a layer of ice that was emitting white smoke. the blade was leaving behind water slashes that would fly 15 meters ahead of him and slice everything apart in their way. He swiftly jumped into the air and slashed three times with his sword as the three water slashes looked like a claw of tiger which landed on the first five puppets leading the 2nd squad.


    All five of the robot''s eyes flashed red as they grouped together and the yellow barrier appeared in front of them. this time, the barrier was overlapping on each other as the transparent barrier almost seemed solid yellow shield now.


    * Splash! Crack! *


    There was a sound of glass breaking as the barrier was broken through and the robot standing in the center had a huge scar on its chest. the place at which the water landed was frozen solid and as the robot was made of metal, the robot was frozen fully in a matter of seconds.


    Ace noticed this " So the elemental spiritual force can affect the whole internal system..." he pondered over it as he looked back at the screen " We need a material that is a bad conductor of spiritual force so that fire, water, thunder, and similar elements won''t be able to harm the circuits..."


    He knew that the first generation squads were prototypes and he would improve them later on. he was determined to make a robot legion that can guard against an all-out attack of a sect.


    Soon the robots split up as they attacked from every direction. there were many sonic booms echoing in the forest and even though they landed on the body of Bai wan gong, they couldn''t leave a serious injury. he was still finishing them off, one by one.


    Ace knew that at this rate, Bai wan gong would reach his stronghold and he would have to fight with this master ranked spiritual cultivator himself. he was just at first stage apprentice rank and it would be hard for him to fight without the exo-suit. the crimson Z was damaged and can not be used right now.

    " Ruby, arm all of the fourth squad with the DB 230. "

 54 Alliance leader Han

    Han shuya was looking at the endless forest in front of him where there was a thick blood aura gathered. he was surprised to see the formidable beasts lying dead near the wall and the Dragonslayer army celebrating the victory.


    He was sitting on a huge flying lion which was called Divine War Lion. They were beasts mutated from Divine lions and were bred specifically for war purposes in the Wargod alliance. The lion slowly landed and let out a loud roar.


    * Rawrrrr!! *


    the earth trembled as the celebration stopped and all of the youths as well as Elder Hong and General Quan chi looked at the Divine war lion.


    Elder Hong quickly bowed a little with General Quan chi " Elder Hong welcomes Alliance leader Han on the Great wall of Longdan! " Soon after hearing the respectful tone of the Elder Hong, all the youths present didn''t dare to delay and bowed as they cupped their first in front of the alliance leader.


    Han Shuya slowly got off the divine war lion and looked at elder Hong as he nodded " You''ve worked hard elder hong, I can see all the brave warriors of the Dragonslayer legion have become stronger and fiercer than the last time I saw them. I have personally come here to give rewards to those who have shown great bravery and strength in the battle. Tomorrow I will announce the names of the 10 commanders of the Dragonslayer legion. You all can go and rest now...the army of the wargod alliance will handle the situation from here on."


    Elder Hong was surprised at this sudden development as he knew that the enemy behind the grandmaster level beasts was formidable but to force the alliance leader han personally make move and to force him to utilize the wargod alliance army was really hard. He walked towards the alliance leader Han and led him to a beautiful building behind the wall. there were decorations all around and there was even a small lake nearby.


    the place looked completely different compared to the bloody forest behind the wall. Han shuya entered the room as he sat down along with Elder Hong and General Quan chi. He looked at Elder Hong and Nodded " I know what difficulties plague your mind, Elder Hong. worry not, the enemy is not that formidable that he can force me to make the move. As you know, the Dragonslayer legion is the most important thing for me right now. When the youths of the Dragonslayer legion grows to be formidable experts, they will become the backbone of the whole wargod alliance. This time, I want to show them the real strength of the Wargod alliance so that they can broaden their horizons and at the same time, by showing our military prowess, we can make the third rate sects which are dreaming of becoming second rate sects give up their lofty ambitions."


    Elder Hong knew that the new Alliance leader was hot-blooded but he had some bold ideas for the future of the wargod alliance. he would rule with an iron fist rather than rules. Elder hong nodded as he took a sip of tea.


    " I just hope that the Battle would end fast and the people of Longdan would regain the peace for the next 100 years " General Quan chi poured the tea for Han shuya as he offered him the cup.


    ...


    Bai Wan Gong was slashing with his sword madly at a thick yellow barrier which was made from the combined energy of the 10 remaining robots of the squad 3. There were metal parts everywhere and all of the elders were watching from sidelines. it wasn''t that they didn''t want to attack, they were unable to advance because the robots or puppets were releasing a screeching sound from behind the barrier which would target whoever that was closest. Only the clan leader who was only spirit master level expert was able to endure the sound. even peak apprentice-level elders were only able to stay in the sound for a few seconds before they start bleeding from ears. some of the elders with weak cultivation even became permanently deaf.


    Suddenly there was a sound of glass shattering as the shield broke from the impact of the sword and there were cracks everywhere on the shield. the energy from the shield was dissipating slowly in the form of yellow smoke.


    Bai wan gong knew that this was his chance as he ruthlessly thrust his frost sword into one of the cracks of the shield and released his frost elemental spiritual force on the other side of the shield. soon half of the robots we''re frozen and the other half were unable to move. the sound attack from some of the robots stopped as all of the elders and warriors watching from sides attacked at the same time and destroyed the robots in the matter of the seconds.


    Bai wan gong crushed the head of the last robot under his leg as he looked at the huge mountain wall in front of him. this was the place he reached while fighting the robots and they most likely should have come from here.


    Suddenly there was a * click * sound as a small black round cylindrical object fell in front of them. Bai wan gong wasn''t able to see where it came from but as soon as one of the elders tried to pick it up, it blew up in his hand.


    * Flash!! *


    It wasn''t lethal but a flash bomb. there was a huge ball of light that blinded the group for five seconds which was enough for the squad four to surround them. Bai Wan Gong saw the robots surrounding him as his expression became ugly. He wasn''t afraid of the robots but their attacks would greatly injure the warriors of his clan.


    The central robot moved in front of him as the face of the robot distorted. The face of this robot was made of liquid metal and it was able to change shape. it soon transformed into the face of a youth. it looked somewhat similar to ace.


    Bai wan gong looked at the robot and knew that the robot may be used for communication as he asked " Who are you? why are you trying to take over my village''s mountain!? Get out here and fight me like a man if you dare! stop sending out your puppets! "


    Ace looked at the screen as his face twitched. The central robot also had the same expression. " Convey my message through the Envoy class Robot. " Ruby understood as she formed a connection with the robot which performed exact action done by ace.

    " Clan leader Bai, I am called the Sector Lord. The robots you fought were only cannon fodder. I would like to discuss a business deal with you but first, let me show you something. " Ace looked at the screen as one the Envoy class robot looked on it''s left where another robot was standing who was similar to other robots but on the chest of the robot, there was a bronze shield logo instead of black paint.


    the robot soon walked away from the group and stood in the Forrest facing a huge boulder. soon the chest of the robot opened up in four flaps and there were five small cylindrical missiles in its chest. One of the missiles was fired at the rock as the missile swiftly flew towards the rock.


    * Boom!! *


    There was a huge explosion and there was a bucket size hole in the center of the rock which passed through the rock and even drilled a hole into the mountain wall behind the rock. Bai wan gong shivered when he saw this. he knew that even if he was able to stop the missile from hitting him, he won''t endure the blast. At most, five of those attacks would be enough to injure him greatly. He was a wise man and looked at the envoy " What business do you wanna discuss with my clan? "


    Ace smiled as he looked at the screen " You are a smart man Clan leader Bai. The black lake in your ancestral land. i want the black liquid from the lake. I know that there are old masters from your clan cultivating there, so I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer...or else..."


    Bai wan Gong looked at the envoy as he nodded " What would my clan get in return for giving you the sacred black lake? " He knew that the strength of this Mysterious Sector lord was not to be underestimated. He knew that if he can''t defeat an opponent, he shouldn''t do needless struggle. although the sector lord was strong, none of his warriors died in the battle. He was certain that wan gong clan might even benefit from this mysterious puppet master.


    Ace looked at the screen as he fell into deep thought. he spoke after a brief pause " I can help you whenever your clan is in crisis. As long as an enemy isn''t in the grandmaster realm, I will defeat them for your clan. " He said this because he wanted the wan gong clan to act as a front for his hidden headquarters. " But do not spread the word of my existence. my robots would only appear if there is an absolute need. "

 57 Killing a Dragon Part - 2

    " Run! Aaaah.." There were screams all over the wall as one by one, the Fire God legion members were being scorched to death by the golden laser beam. Qingshen also doesn''t have it easy as thousands of fire attacks and hundreds of arrows were rained down on its body.


    Although it wasn''t hurt because of its innate ability to summon light-scale armor, it''s spiritual force was slowly getting depleted by the sheer amount of attacks. There was also a problem of continuing the attack while focusing on evading the attacks done by ten War God legion members.


    Han Shuya was looking at the dragon while flying in the sky as he pressed his palms together and chanted a weird indentation. Suddenly his whole body was covered in bright blood red flames. they looked as if they were alive. The blood-red flames had an aura of destruction as Han shuya flew straight towards the Dragon as he raised his hand and a small ball of flame separated itself from his body and flew straight towards the dragon. this small flame looked like a ball of blood but Light Dragon Qingshen tried it''s best to avoid this small ball of fire.


    The dragon even fired the Golden laser towards the ball of flame. As soon as the golden light touched the ball of flame, there was a huge blast.


    * Booooom! *


    The whole area beneath the explosion was charred black as all the trees below the explosion turned into ash.


    Ace who was watching this was also surprised as he looked at the screen. " what is his element? ...it looks like fire but its more violent....more destructive. "


    The mechanical voice of Ruby replied immediately.


    [ The element is the fusion of two of the major 10 elements, The element of Fire and the Element of Destruction ].


    Han shuya snorted as he looked at the dragon " Why are you dodging? aren''t you a prideful dragon? fight me head-on if you dare! "


    Hearing this, Qingshen was enraged as it released a blinding blast of light. It was like a flash bomb but imagine thousands of flash bombs going off all at once. For all of the people there, it was as if their vision only contained white. Some of the soldiers with weak cultivation even had their eyes damaged and bleeding as they became blind. those with higher cultivation were able to endure only after they closed their eyes. even the corrosion ape and demon wolf were pressing their head on the ground with their eyes closed.


    Han shuya, who was closest to the blast was also blinded by the blast but he escaped the fate of being blinded because of his high cultivation. His eyes were red as he looked around. he saw a blurry figure of the dragon in the sky. Qingshen noticed that his attack had injured the opponent, flew straight towards Han Shuya in order to devour him alive.


    " Mortal! Accept your punishment for disrespecting the mightiest of the beasts! " Qingshen opened it''s mouth wide and was ready to swallow Han shuya in one gulp.


    Ace noticed that it was a great opportunity as if put his finger on the small touch screen as a red circle of light appeared in front of his face. it was a hologram produced by the photon disintegrator as Ace aimed for the inner part of the mouth of the dragon with the aim assist of the AI Alice. He soon got a lock on the target as the red circle became green and outside of the base, a huge canon rose up. it was as if the cannon was alive. it had a long muzzle and it was charging up with blue light. the light was changing color between blue and orange as the plasma was burning inside the firing chamber. Ten reaper cannons stationed around the base were current trump cards of Ace.

    these reapers were capable of killing dark fate in his undead abomination form in a matter of seconds. When all 10 reapers fire simultaneously at one target, it would produce enough heat that would melt the toughest of the objects.


    Soon the Heavy type plasma discharge cannon known as reaper was ready to fire it''s first shot. Ace simply snapped his fingers as a huge beam of plasma was shot at breakneck speed towers the mouth of the dragon.


    was just a few meters away from Han shuya when suddenly all of its scales stood on ends as it sensed a huge danger. it was overlord of beasts and even when facing elder dragons, it could hold on it''s own. The bestial instincts of the dragon were sharper than it looked as the dragon didn''t even pause to think and started closing its mouth. As a dragon, it had intelligence compared to humans as it soon noticed that dangerous feeling only appeared after it opened its mouth. the dragon also knew that its inner mouth was vulnerable part as to protect it, it needed to close its mouth. Although the thoughts happened at lightning speed in this dragon''s head, the closing of enormous mouth wasn''t fast enough. Just as the upper and lower teeth were about to meet one another there was a huge blast on its face and the dragon''s head was flung back and bent at an unnatural angle.


    The huge horn on it''s back even stabbed into its own body as there was a bucket size wound on it''s back. once again, Qingshen released the flash blast again as it adjusted its head. as soon as the horn came out of the back of its body, the golden shining blood started to flow out of the wound. Ace, on the other hand, was unable to see what was happening as the second flash blast was too much for the low-level cameras outside and they only showed a blurry white image.


    " Adjust the brightness! I need to see if the dragon was hurt or not! " Ace looked at the screen as all the other Reaper cannons started powering up. the single shot of reaper cannon would cost him hundreds of spiritual crystals and a lot of electricity but if he gained the carcass of a dragon, it would all be worth it. he was ready to go all out for resources as some of the stuff from a dragon''s body could let him advance his research on cultivation and maybe make him progress faster in his cultivation. He might even be able to make a Master rank or grandmaster rank weapon from the horn of the dragon.


    He was determined to kill the dragon and he was also excited that if there was one dragon, there would be more. he could totally send all the materials from dragons body to the titanium dragon ship in the space so that that repairs of the ship can be done faster. His ship was torn apart because of the spatial currents and void storms between the time and space fabric. It was a miracle that he survived from the event as now he found out that the spiritual force was also a factor in the destruction of the titanium dragon. There was a huge amount of chaotic spiritual force present in each and every single part of the spaceship and it was thus mutating the metals present in the space ship making some useless and some precious. this was in turn, slowing down the repairs as nanobots were having a hard time repairing the ship. the raw material was not enough and the nanobots had to take out the mutated metal add normal metal in place in order to fix the equipment. for example, a circuit board that had copper, under the influence of spiritual force, would transform into ice element copper, blood element copper and even bizarre elements like yin, yang, absorption, void and the list was endless. The copper would become rare metal but it won''t conduct the electricity as it was supposed to.


    This was the biggest headache for ace as his strongest weapon in the cultivation needed an extensive amount of repairs. He built the base for two reasons to hide and lay low and send raw materials to the titanium dragon so that the ship can fix itself.

 58 Killing a Dragon Part - 3

    Ace looked at the screen as slowly the whiteness in the screen lowered and the image of the battlefield was shown on the huge screen. There was Han Shuya who was laying inside of the crater where his left hand had a black scar which was because he was directly between the Reaper cannon and Qingshen.


    There were other War God legion members around him helping him while the most important of all, Light Dragon Qingshen was nowhere to be found. " Find him..." Ace commanded as he looked at the screen with sharp eyes. He was sure that with the ability of the sensors, there would be no way that they would miss such a huge creature. even if the dragon was hiding in the earth, the sensors would still find him.


    The problem was that the sensors didn''t show any sign of earth being dug or any kind of movement. Han shuya who stood up with the help of other guards looked in the direction of where the strange beam came from. He couldn''t find anything as the plasma cannon shot was fired from approximately 2 km away. he was only able to see the huge Wan Gong mountain in the distance and nothing else.


    Han shuya looked his personal guard as he ordered " Search for the dragon...and find out where that energy beam came from...there might be an expert hiding on those mountains " He closed his eyes to give them some rest.


    Ace was still looking at the area but didn''t find the dragon. it was as if the dragon just teleported out of thin air. He smiled as he wasn''t nervous. " Scan the space there for planer fluctuations..." The results were out in few seconds as there were minimal fluctuations there which were left behind when the dragon was summoned. the drones flying around the area found the fluctuations leading from outside to the current realm but not the other way round. This was all possible because knowledge of Ace about various planes and realms and how to travel between them reached a terrifying level.


    One can even say that ace knew more about the planner and void travel than some of the old monsters of the cultivation world with space as their main elements. This was simply the result of the accumulation of three generations of Trouper family.

    Ace''s smile widened as he heard that there were no fluctuations in space. this would only mean one thing that the dragon was still here but it was hiding. As for the method, ace gassed it right away.


    " It''s an illusion...no matter what kind of rays, x-ray, radiation, light....all of them falls under light element...the dragon is controlling them to mask his presence..."


    [ Master, without knowing where the dragon is, how are we going to kill it? ]


    The mechanical voice of Ruby sounded as Ace looked into the direction of the battlefield.


    " It''s simple....we don''t need to...the dragon can manipulate light but it can not manipulate matter...blanket fire all the reaper cannons and set it to delayed blast mode..."


    [ Copy that master ]


    Soon same as the previous cannon, several more cannons appeared in different parts of the mountain around its belt as they all started charging up at the same time. The sheer amount of energy gathered used up huge amount of energy. Ace would burn up half of the stock of spiritual crystals in this one barrage.


    * Zoooommmm! *


    * Zoooommmm! *


    * Zap Zap Zap *


    It was like the rumbling of hundreds of clouds. Together they sounded as of tens of beasts were roaring together. Soon ten beams of light reached the place where the dragon was at before and exploded.


    Han shuya was really frightened by the power of the beams. " This person is not someone we can handle....tell the army to retreat to the Longdan wall...Normal soldiers won''t survive if they are hit by the attacks...." Soon the army retreated with Han shuya and the shower of light beams continued. The whole area over the slaughter woods. The beasts didn''t even dare to raise their heads as the blasts in the air was enough to flatten a mountain. There were some aerial beasts that were entangled in the area of attack and were instantly burned to death. the temperature rise even directly evaporated some of the smaller birds in the sky.


    Soon one of the beams hit the invisible wall mid-air and exploded as golden blood flowed out from the mid-air out of nowhere. The huge Dragon became visible once again as Ace looked at it.


    " Found you....switch to the sniping mode and aim for its heart " Ace didn''t want the dragon''s body to be destroyed. he would rather take some time to kill the dragon than ruin precious materials. "


    As soon as the order was given, the cannons stopped firing and the shape of the Muzzle changed and it became smaller. The Barrel extended and became longer and the cannon started charging up again. Qingshen was still hit by for to five barrage projectiles as he roared in the direction of Wan Gong mountain.


    * Roar!!!!! *


    This time the roar shook even the ground itself and Qingshen was truly mad this time. It lost sanity and its eyes were bloodshot.


    Its eyes were, of course, hundreds of times better than Han shuya as it soon noticed weird cannons on the mountain 2 km away. It only wanted to destroy the whole mountain. As soon as the cannons stopped firing, Qingshen charged towards the mountain. Its speed was normal because it had used up a lot of its energy while withstanding the barrage attack.


    With a limited amount of spiritual force, it won''t be able to shoot itself like a beam towards the mountain. Qingshen was really mad and wanted nothing but to destroy the mountain as it rushed towards the mountain while it opened its mouth and fired the golden beam towards the mountain.


    Ace''s eyes widened as he yelled " Put up the shields! "


    Soon huge towers stood up on the mountain and sent energy beams towards the main building on the mountain. The perception of this dragon was terrifying as it noticed that there was only one human on the mountain and it was able to sense ace. The golden beam this didn''t target any of the cannons but it was directed at the mountain wall.


    Ace was standing right behind this mountain wall and if the beam broke through, he would be vaporized. Fortunately, the four towers which rose from the mountain sent blue arcs of beams over and an energy field type barrier was created on the mountain wall. As long as the energy was enough, the shield can absorb an unlimited amount of damage.


    [ Master should i fire? ]


    Ace looked at the screen behind which the golden beam was focused on the barrier, slowly eating away the energy reserves of the shield. " Not yet...he will notice and dodge the shots...."


    Soon Qingshen was getting closer and closer.


    1.8 km...1.5 km...1.2km...800 meters...500 meters....


    At this moment, the energy reserves of the barrier were half empty and the barrier looked thinner than before.


    [ Master? ] Anxious voice of ruby sounded out. " Not yet....let him come closer...." Ace didn''t want to give the dragon any chance. From first shot, he knew that the dragon had horrifying reaction speed.


    Soon the distance between the Energy barrier and Dragon was reduced even further. 300 meters....200 meters....100 meters...


    Qingshen sensed the danger of the fully charged cannons again but he didn''t care anymore. it''s thinking was simple, as long as it killed the human, all the weapons he controlled would stop operating. The Light Dragon used the last bit of spiritual force and increased the intensity of the beam at last moment. It''s massive jaw collided with the mountain wall while still releasing the golden beam.


    There was a huge blast inside the Room that Ace was in as the screen in front of Ace malfunctioned and Ace used the agility of the Crimson Z to fly backward while the screen in front of him was evaporated by the golden beam. At this crucial moment, the beam stopped due to lack of spiritual force but Qingshen still charged towards Ace as Ace yelled " Fire! "


    * Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! * seven concentrated beams of orange and blue were fired and entered the body of Qingshen from different angles, their goal was the heart as soon the heart of the dragon became a balloon full of holes. The last shot even burst it apart and all that was left was a pulp of tissues.


    Ace stopped when reached the wall behind him as Qingshen''s eyes lost all the signs of life and the dragon''s enormous head fell near the foot of Ace. it''s jaw open and it''s eyes showing unwillingness to leave this world.

 59 Light Dragon Soul

    Ace looked at the dead dragon and then he observed his lab. it was devastated and everything was broken. he felt a headache from just thinking about how many spiritual crystals he would have to waste to get sufficient energy to rebuild the Equipment in the lab. Another problem was that the dead dragon and commotion would definitely attract unwanted attention. The production of the Space ship had just started and he even found the required fuel for it. he was on verge of success of building a small space ship that can be used to transport the materials from the surface to the Titanium Dragon. The resources on the Titanium Dragon were enough for him to rule this piece of land.


    [ Master, are you alright? I am not getting any signal from the Crimson Z ]


    "huh? What''s wrong?"


    Ace looked at his armor which had several cracks. " There can be only one explanation for the Crimson Z to not send any signals....that is if the AI inside is dead..."


    Suddenly a voice interrupted his train of thought " Aaaaaaaah!! How dare you!? How is this possible!? this piece of metal was alive!? Curse you human! "


    Ace suddenly noticed that Crimson Z was moving without his Consent and his arms and legs started thrashing everywhere. " Alice! Check it!? What''s wrong with Crimson Z? "


    Alice which was like a ball of red fire in his consciousness entered Crimson Z''s neuron interface. There was a huge golden ball of consciousness floating away in the space while only some remains of the previous AI consciousness could be seen. as soon as the Golden ball of consciousness spotted Alice, she immediately Closed the connection with Crimson Z.


    [ Master, it seems that there is a strange lifeform which infiltrated the armor and took of the consciousness of the armor after destroying the original AI ]


    Before Ace could even respond, there was a flash in front of his eyes and the armor was sent flying as it crashed in the wall again, smashing it to bits. Again, It stood by itself and crashed itself again in the wall.


    Ace was feeling dizzy as he yelled! " Eject me, Alice! "


    [ You can''t master, all the functions of the armor are taken over by the enemy. It''s stronger than me, I can''t open the neuro link or else, it would take over your body.]


    " Human! you killed me! I am a great light dragon Qingshen! I will have my revenge! "


    Ace''s mind went in overdrive to think of a way to get out of this situation.


    The suit went wild and it started bashing itself against walls and other objects in the lab.


    " You were too stupid for a dragon! that is why I was able to kill you! Look what you are doing, you are only bashing the armor against the wall, you are just going to break the armor before you kill me! "


    Suddenly, the armor stopped " You are right, let''s remove the protection than..." soon, the helmet of the armor opened up flew away as well as the area around the belly also opened up. " Let''s see if your head is strong enough human...hahaha! "


    Ace''s head was now exposed as he grinned " Stupid dragon, didn''t you hear the old Chinese saying? a dragon can''t beat the local snake!this is my lab! Ruby! Call in All of the squads! pin me down! "

    Ass soon as Ace was about to bash his head against the wall, a hoard of drones and robots came inside the lab and soon there was a huge sonic boom that sentence flying, preventing him from smashing his head against the wall. Dozens of robots jumped on him and pinned him down. some of them were destroyed by the Crimson Z before they even got close, one punch was enough to send them flying but with Ace using his strength from inside and Robots pinning him down from outside, they were able to stop the rampage.


    Ace knew the capability of the Crimson Z, he won''t be able to stop if for long as it was designed to escape from these kinds of situation. in the fight against zombies, stronger zombies pinning down a single soldier were common occurrences. this is why there was a blast sequence that would be released from the reactors on both chest and back.


    " Only 5 seconds, that would be enough! Ruby, open the roof and deploy the Icarus! "


    The roof immediately started opening up as the clear sky was in view, there was a bright sun in the sky as a huge robotic arm as big as a building was rising above the room. The hand of the arm was a glass triangle that looked like a slice of a pizza. Soon multiple slices of the similar slices slid from under the first piece and formed a giant magnifying glass over the room. By this time, the sequence was over and a huge blast was heard.


    * Vrrrrr....Boom! *


    It was as if Someone fired a huge plasma gun near your ear, the sound was loud and irritating which incinerated all the robots on top of Ace while those around him were thrown away and Were crushed to pieces from crashing in the Wall. Ace yelled as soon as the blast subsided " Aim it at me! "


    The huge magnifying glass detached itself from the huge robotic arm as the rockets on its metal frame supported its weight. the magnifying ability was enhanced with the help of light warping material technology. A red beam of light was concentrated on top of the Crimson Z armor which started heating up. Ace was also gritting his teeth in pain as the armor was badly able to withstand the heat.


    " Stop! human, do you want to die!? " Qingshen didn''t feel pain from armor but if the armor heated up anymore, it would become scrap metal. Ace gritted his teeth as he revealed a grin " I never take a gamble that I am not sure I would win " The motors would be unable to function properly in too much heat as the Crimson Z wasn''t designed to withstand such a huge amount of heat.


    The emergency cooling system was activated and liquid has was released all over the armor to cool it down. This made the armor look like it was boiling. there was steam rising from the armor and Ace was now able to move his body as he wished. He sits down on the ground and rotated his internal force to absorb all the energy that was entering his body. On the other hand, the cooling liquid from the armor was being depleted at a scary pace.


    " Light and fire, dual-element affinity... I will take it as my bad luck human...stop now! I won''t harm you anymore! "


    " Hmph " Ace snorted as the red beam continued to scorch the Armor. Ace was receiving all the energy from his head so he was fully concentrated on absorbing it. Soon the liquid nitrogen was insufficient and it was diverted to the core where the Neuron Scheme of the Armor or Core of the armor was located. Whole armor slowly melted from intense heat and the frozen core slowly flowed down on the floor along with hot liquid metal. Ace noticed this and guided the intense energy from berserk spiritual force inside his body out through every pore of his body. His clothes were destroyed and all of the liquid metal was blown away.


    there was only a Nacked Boy, some broken robot body parts and a lump of hot molten metal was left on the ground besides the Boy.

 60 Commotion in the eight province

    Shadow sect


    there was black fog on a secret Mountain and eerie sounds can be heard once in a while. the place was devoid of any life but there was a strange statue of a gargoyle in the middle of the Forrest on the mountain. the name of this mountain was because of the black fog staying on the mountain all year round. It was called Peak of eternal Night.


    A strange black bird landed on the shoulder of the gargoyle and suddenly the rock statue moved. it whispered something in the ear of the bird and bird flew away with the massage.


    Divine dragon sect


    There was a floating castle in the middle of the Dongcang valley. A white Crane flew out from the castle and disappeared into the sky.


    Land of Five Elements


    There were five mountain peaks between a lake. soon, five different coloured birds flew out from each mountain into different directions.


    Wargod Allience


    All of the elders were present in the Grand hall and Allience leader Han was sitting on the Allience leader seat. his injuries were nowhere to be seen and there was some medicine aroma being released from his body. This showed how deep the foundation of the Wargod Allience were. There were many powers who were trying to oppose the Wargod Allience but it was futile as they simply didn''t have the necessary resources.


    " Let us first discuss the person on the Wan Gong mountain. What did you find out elder Duan? " Han shuya looked at a purple robbed elder with chilly gaze. the elder was responsible for gathering data about each and every person that Wargod Allience thought highly.


    " I suggest we replace the investigation elder! Elder duan has done it second time now! he couldn''t find shen tiancai and now he didn''t inform us beforehand about the summoners and the masterminds behind the battle of Longdan! " one of the elder took this chance to bring the reputation of elder duan down.


    elder duan kneeled as he looked at Han shuya " Allience leader, I''ve investigated and found out that the reclusive expert calls himself Sector Lord and has unknown achievement in puppet control."


    " What do you mean Unknown? "Han shuya was surprised as he listened carefully. this elder duan was his supporter so he decided to ignore the comments of other.


    " Allience leader, the puppet made by this expert didn''t contain even a hint of spiritual force but were as strong as spirit mortal with martial mortal''s body and had many different methods of attacks. this level of achievement is unheard of in puppet master profession..."


    Han shuya also considered the attacks earlier. they were so strong that the attacks even injured the dragon.


    " The expert is powerful but there are many powers who would covet this power. we can not neglect their lust for the dragon''s remains..." Han shuya stood up as he looked at the elders " I will personally go and meet Mister Sector lord "


    .....


    Ace''s eyes were closed. he was still absorbing the energy that was trying rampage in his body. Three days passed and there was no sign of his pain being lessened.


    There was a strange robot standing near him which was in the shape of a girl. the robot had beautiful red eyes and she had a red armour in shape of the petals of rose. She was Alice. Since ace was cultivating, alice decided to tidy the destroyed place and started the production again. the robots worked tirelessly and made a body for her, there was also a robot army guarding the mountain and the headquarters was constructed again around ace.


    Alice was looking at the screen where few robots captured several Wang Gong Villagers trying sneak into the mountain. there were also hundreds of spies and brave adventurers who were captured. she didn''t have any plan to build a prison so she would knock them out and deliver them to Nature''s harmony Forrest.


    She was now waiting for her master to wake up and was constantly running the workshop to amass enough resources for her master. At one side, there was a huge pile of thunder, fire, earth and wind attribute metal ores and some of the ores were radiating corospondin glow. they were called Spirit stones. just like spirit crystals, spirit stones were stones containing different elemental spiritual force. there was no set system for spirit stones and the kind of energy contained inside would be according to the environment or some special conditions.


    the energy inside the spirit stones was of no use to humans as humans are unable to absorb the energy inside them but it can be utilized to make weapons and armors. they can also be used as formation cores and puppet cores. some of the extravagant sects would create rooms made of certain type of spirit stones for cultivation. although the energy inside the stone can not be absorbed, huge quantity of similar stones can create suitable man made environment for certain rare elements.


    There was another pile beside the spirit stone pile which was glowing red. they were called blood stones. they were available all around the world and were said to be the blood of the first goddess that made the universe. their use was to make color pigments, cosmetic powder and a rare type of maroon blood stone can be used as medicinal powder. the blood stone contained low energy and only certain evil sects would use the miniscule blood spiritual force in the stone to perform evil deeds.


    there was a small amount of maroon blood stones there too and on the table near Alice, there were three crystal like rocks.


    " Hmm, this one seems to be an egg? but it''s still alive, i wonder what kind of creature is it? " Alice looked at a round white crystal ball. it was found by one of the armadillo classic while digging deep inside the mountain.


    " There is also this strange orange crystal, I don''t think its sprit stone. what is this? X Ray, Alpha, beta, gama...this is releasing every kind of radiation there is...this way, it should disappear soon but it''s not decaying..." Alice was looking at a Bright glowing orange crystal. the small drilling robot that found the crystal was immediately broken when it took the crystal in it''s hand.


    Alice put the orange crystal inside a radiation proof box and then looked at third item which was a small part of a sword. it was a dark black piece of sword but after all the scans, alice found out that it was Meteorite Divine Iron. It was one of the rare metals and it was even stronger than many metals when one fed it with spritual force.


    She put the piece down as she again looked at her master. soon, Ace''s expression changed and his muscles started to expand.


    * Booom!! *


    as if there was some kind of explosion inside him, all his seven orifices started bleeding with black blood. he opened his eyes and they were bloodshot. " I refuse to admit defeat! " Ace again closed his eyes and suddenly there was a suction coming from his body that started absorbing the spritual force in the atmosphere. in fact, all the spiritual force around the spirit stones was also sucked dry and some of the smaller stones even turned to dust.


    Ace''s muscles expanded once again and each and every pore of his body opened up. A loud bang was heard and black tar like substance was realesed from his body. he was fully covered in black substance and looked like a monster.


    Alice saw this and pressed a button on control board as few of the robots came inside with water buckets shortly after. they poured water on Ace one by one and soon his glowing golden body was visible. The small Core of Crimson Z was in his hand and even his black hair turned golden.


    Ace opened his eyes and even his pupils became golden colored. This phenomenon was strange as Ace looked at himself.


    " What is this? why did my body turned golden? Alice scan my body "


    " Yes master " Alice nodded as some flying drones covered him all around and scanned his body with lasers.


    there was a pop up on the screen which shocked Ace.


    " Master, all of the micro organisms inside your body are removed, the neno bots are also removed and even the chemicals that were harmful to your body are removed. now your body advanced and upgraded to the standard of a Spirit Master. "


    Ace smirked as he looked at the screen " Yes, i broke through several levels at once. but why is my body golden? "


    " Master, it seems that the elements your body is compatible with are fused with your body. the light element core is diffused in your eyes and hair while fire attribute seems to be in your skin. i think that it is because you used the light element from your eyes and absorbed fire element spiritual force from your skin. there also thunder attribute but it seems that there was no manifestation of this element on your body.

 61 Visit from Wargod Allience

    Ace was surprised to see the change in his body. he searched many books on cultivation that were stored in his database but he didn''t find any of the information about elements fusing with certain body part after achieving a breakthrough.


    He certainly knew that the reason behind his body turning golden was because of fire and light attribute and his eyes transforming golden was also due to light element. He was about to busy himself in experiments when a notification broke his train of thoughts. there was another person caught sneaking around the wan gong mountain.


    Alice soon explained the whole situation to ace." This spells trouble...what did you do with the dragon corpse alice? " Ace looked at alice''s new body. he was all alone and he didn''t mind having a beautiful girl besides him as an assistant. he let alice keep the body and she can also be help in future at the time like this when he was cultivating.


    " Master, the dragon corpse was too big but after three days of constant mining has made a 500 meters deep hole right below the mountain. we found many items which i stored here. the warehouse is already full with excavated soil. i found out that it was a special soil which is called Virtalik Soil. this soil is sometimes useful in engraving arrays and some earth attribute beasts also use it as food. although its cheap, we can still earn a lot if we sell it. "


    Ace thought for a moment as he replied " Tell wang gong clan to sell the soil, as for spirit stones and blood stones, assign some robots to do experiments. Scan the egg and see if we can deduce the method to successfully hatch it." He then looked at the remaining two items. the radioactive stone and the meteorite divine iron which were shown on the screen.


    " The radioactive stone is ideal for producing electricity. start building the reactor for fission. it seems that his object is non-decaying radioactive material. if it''s not decaying, there must be some form of energy that its absorbing, i think it''s absorbing spiritual force and converting it into radiation. Perform research on it and see if you can design a reactor that can utilize this material. " Ace finally looked at the piece of black iron and smiled " As for this thing, save it for now, I''ll use it to make something good later. "


    He wanted to get to work right away and curiosity inside him was building up as he found more and more interesting stuff but now was not the time to be doing experiments and research. He needed to hold back all the powers that want the Light dragon''s body material. Originally, none of the superpowers would be concerned if the dragon was killed by Wargod Allience but it was killed by someone unknown and Wargod Allience was at it''s weakest in past 1000 years. there weren''t many experts appearing in the Allience and the elders were corrupt.


    Ace looked at the list of people captured. there were many from unknown origins and only some had appeared boldly, rest were trying to sneak around and steal some of the stuff if they can.


    " We need to give them something that can pull their attention away from the dragon." Ace said as he looked at the another screen that showed a gigantic dead dragon laying inside one of the branch of the mine. it''s body was as thick as height of a one story building and it was almost a kilometer long. the dragon''s body was coiled like a snake.


    just as ace was about to ask about the dragon corpse, a group of people were shown on the screen entering the wan gong mountain. From their uniforms, it was clear that they were from Wargod Allience. The man leading was none other than Allience leader Han shuya himself.


    Ace found the situation strange. Ace changed into new set of clothes and equiped a temporary armour. He would have to make a stronger one later. the armor he was wearing was a simplified version of War devil Spec-ops edition armour. The armor was designed for it''s looks and the strength. currently, Ace didn''t have enough materials to give armour it''s strength but he can design an armour that looked like a War devil. There were two red horns on the head of the armor and whole body was pitch black. the chest area housed a Plasma reactor and both hands had gauntlets which were upgraded to withstand sevenfold fist.


    Ace looked like a Devil which was ready to reap lives with it''s fists alone. he walked out with armour. his helmet was on as his face now looked like that of devil. He stopped in front of Han shuya " Intruder, what is your intention for coming to wan gong mountain? this area is under Sector Lord''s control. Leave immediately"


    Han shuya and the elders around him were in awe when they saw all the different kinds of strange puppets gathering around them. when elder duan told them that the Sector lord was good puppet master, they only thought of him as a normal person but looking at how many puppets there were, he was likely a puppet grandmaster. there was a limit to how many puppets a person can control at a time and rising in puppet master rank was even more difficult than cultivating because to control puppets, a person would need soul strength as well as strong enough cultivation.


    A powerful puppet master would not only have to cultivate spiritual force but also his soul strength. " Leader Han, i think he has already surpassed grandmaster realm because I''ve seen a puppet grandmaster before buy even he wasn''t able to control this many puppets at his full strength. " One of the elder notified Han shuya.


    Han shuya nodded as he looked at ace. he cupped his firsts and bowed a little " Senior, i am han shuya of Wargod Allience, i am not here to cause trouble, i am just here to pay respect to senior. my sect has received many invitations from various powers that want a share of the dead dragon. i am just here to convey the massage."


    Although Wargod Allience was overlord of eight province but that was only limited to ruling the area and not in strength. there were other sects equal in strength to Wargod Allience but they just didn''t involve themselves into ruling and focused on martial arts.


    Ace swiftly replied in angry tone " Did you kill the dragon? Why should i give them the share of the dragon that i killed myself? " There was a huge reaper cannon stationed near the entrance of the cave. The cannon immediately started charging up. ace looked at the bunch of people as he smirked. he didn''t mind slaughtering them if he can deter other sects from disturbing him. he was impatient to try his hands on all the loot he had gathered.


    Seeing the weapon, even han shuya couldn''t help but shiver. he still remembered the flamming inferno over the slaughter woods. There was no way they would survive if the weapon fired so close. he st least knew now that Sector lord used some type of cannon to kill the dragon but he didn''t dare to underestimate this mysterious expert.


    " Senior, They are not going to take dragon for free, i am just here to ask if senior need any resources which we can exchange for the body of the dragon..." He gulped as this was what four strongest sects had agreed upon. there were many spies of other three strong sects in Wargod''s Soldiers and they all described the power of the cannons to their respective sect. they all decided to negotiate first and then use force.


    Ace smiled as he looked at han shuya " In that case, I don''t want to give the dragon corpse to just anyone. you must prove that you have strength and wealth to get the corpse."


    Han shuya frowned as he looked at the black robot. " What do you mean senior? "


    Ace waved his hand as he looked at han shuya "it''s simple, i will hold a martial arts tournament here after 1 week. the rules would be decided and declared at that day. your disciples must be under 30 years of age. whoever wins the tournament would win half of the dragon body and for other half, you have to offer me knowledge. Martial arts Manuals, techniques and all secret arts you have."


    " Of course, I won''t take a look at your techniques but whoever has more profound techniques and in more quantity would get the other half of the dragon corpse. I would also visit that power once. "


    Han shuya was shocked at this declaration. there was dragon corpse for the winner but this reward still wasn''t enough to move him, what excited him was that the puppet grandmaster would visit the sect which won the second competition. this was an opportunity to get a puppet master disciple.

 62 Sector lords Tournament Part 1

    Han shuya returned with all the information. He was given two tasks, to get as many powers as he can to participate in the tournament and to spread the news to the normal masses so that even hidden experts could take part in the competition. Although Han shuya was reluctant to do errands for sector lord but the things he offered were far more valuable for Han shuya than the dragon corpse.


    " I''ve noticed that you are still searching for a person named Shen Tiancai, am i right? " Ace looked at Han shuya as he smiled. He was trying show han shuya that as a mysterious expert, his knowledge about the world was greater than Wargod Allience. Ace knew that he could bluff his way with this person as he had read so many novels where mc would disguise as a stronger person and trick other powers. ace didn''t even need to disguise himself, he was already strong enough to creat his sector lord image like that of a grandmaster expert.


    " Yes, how did the senior know? do you have any relationship with this person? " Han shuya asked with respect but inside he was hoping that the relationship won''t be too deep as Wargod Allience had given enough trouble to this Shen Tiancai.


    " Yes, i have relationship but why are you trying to find him? he is not someone you can get your hands on so i would advice you to give up on that lad. "


    Han shuya was surprised to hear this as he recalled the bomb that blew up the undead abomination. it was such a devastating explosion that undead abomination was blasted several hundred meters in the sky. this wasn''t a martial skill but a device which can be manufactured so Wargod Allience wanted to add the device into his arsenal.


    He thought that since this Sector lord has a relationship with that boy, he can just ask the person here to give him the method to manufacturing the device. " It''s like this, Shen Tiancai defeated an enemy of Wargod Allience and we are grateful for that and we hope that Shen Tiancai can give us the method to manufacturing the device which produced the explosion at the Misty pavilion. It can help us defend against such attacks in future. "


    Han shuya didn''t explain to ace that the real reason he wanted this weapon was to exploit the beast realm gate that was in hands of Wargod Allience. It was only able to stay strong for centuries because of the single beast realm gate and it was related to lifeline of his sect so Han Shuya didn''t inform ace about this gate.


    Ace heard Han Shuya''s offer and pondered about it. there were many strong cultivators in Wargod Allience and he still didn''t have enough strength to protect himself if all of the sects came after him at once. After all, he was an outsider and there was no backup if he got captured. He was lucky enough to be able to escape from misty pavilion and didn''t want to be at constant aleart as various sects chased after him.


    " I can ask him to give you the method after the tournament and i would also install two of the cannons that are in my base at any location Wargod Allience desires. you just have to make sure that the competition goes smoothly and if i find some good seeds, i would consider cultivating them. The act of strong should Benefit the masses so make sure to spread news to common people as well so that we don''t miss any good seeds "


    This offer was too tempting for han shuya and he immediately agreed to do the errand work for the Sector lord. Ace also revealed Sector lord''s relationship with Shen Tiancai because he also wanted to take part in the tournament and get experience of fighting with different attribute martial artists and their techniques when the competition started. if he reveled his relationship now, he can smoothy take part in the competition.


    The tournament was also a really good chance for him to gather huge amount of practical data on various fighting styles and attributes of different warriors and the second phase of the competition would ensure that he got all the necessary cultivation techniques and martial arts he wanted. although he won''t be practicing them, the knowledge he would gain from books would only help him in the future. he might even find different methods to increase his strength.


    Han shuya knew that Sector lord saying that he was doing it for the common people was just a facade but he didn''t mind it. Extraordinary expert also liked to maintain their positive image and his Wargod Allience would also Benefit from it. Wargod Allience would be rich if they can grasp the manufacturing method of the bombs after they aquired them from Sector lord.


    What surprised him was the relationship between Sector lord and Shen Tiancai. " No wonder he was so strong. there was such an expert backing him up from the shadows. " He thought as he bowed.


    " Rest assured senior, Wargod Allience would handle this matter with best of our ability and we won''t disappoint senior. " Han shuya quickly left the mountain. The elders following behind him were also in awe of this person''s power. they didn''t think that there was such a hidden expert present so close to the Longdan. The Wargod Allience might be an overlord of eight province but it wasn''t invincible, they were still required to grasp every opportunity they can get to solidify the strength of the sect.


    ....


    at an unknown corner of the world, there was a little girl looking at the small puppy that was injured on the ground. the puppy looked at her and calmed down as soon as the it locked it''s eyes with her. the small girl slowly walked up to the puppy and slowly pulled out the razor grass stuck in it''s leg. the grass was rare wild herb that grew in the Forrest in between the normal grass and this one was a blood razor grass. a razor grass would cut any animal passing by and get neutrients from the blood and after it absorbs enough blood, it would transform into blood Razor grass.


    the little girl rubbed the head of the puppy and put her hand on the wound as a green light escaped from her hand. soon the injuries of the puppy were gone as if they were never there in the first place. She too the puppy with her and walked back to her home where her mother was living.


    ....


    " Brother, do you remember that dragon we saw the other day in the sky at longdan? "


    " yes what about it? i heard that it was killed by Wargod Allience? "


    " You are wrong, it was killed by an unknown puppet master named Sector Lord. "


    " Sector Lord? what a weird name? who is he? he must be pretty strong to be able to defeat a dragon right? "


    " Yes, he is strong and i heard that he is holding a competition for the dragon''s corpse. all the big powers are gonna participate in this competition and it''s called Sector Lord''s Tournament "


    " Oh, how did you know about this? "


    " I just heart it from one of the guards of the Wargod Allience. they said that whoever wants to take part in the tournament can go to Wargod Allience branches and register them, there isn''t any fee and there would be something to win for top 300 people! "


    " What!? then if i take part, what rank can i get? "


    " only youths are allowed brother, i don''t think you are young anymore hehe "


    " Hmph! i am only 28 this year! "


    " Hmm, then maybe with your strength, you can get 300th place hahaha "


    All around the eight province, there was talk of this Sector Lord''s Tournament and Ace was busy with construction of the venue of the competition. If he pulled this off right then he would get unimaginable benefits, many problems that plagued the Titanium dragon can be solved earlier and he can even build better equipment for inter universal travel.

 63 Sector Lords Tournament Part 2

    After seeing off the elders and sect leader from Wargod Allience, Ace was finally alone. He looked at alice and quickly ordered alice to take him to the place where the corpse of the dragon was. He clearly remembered that he had an ability called Dragon''s eyes and it''s passive ability was godly. he would be able to see the flow of energy once he became aprantice rank 1 but even now at master rank, he wasn''t able to activate passive ability of the dragon''s eyes.


    He did some research but only conclusion he got was that his control over the dragon eyes was lacking. This can only mean that either he didn''t know proper way to activate dragon eyes or his body had something that was rejecting the dragon''s eyes. He believed that the problem was in his body now that his skin became golden along with his eyes and hair.


    The most suitable explanation he could think of for this change was that his body was different from natives of this realm and that''s why all the master rank natives stayed same when spiritual force integrated with their soul, but his body changed color.


    " Master, should we do Gaiser tests on you? "


    " No, i can already guess that the fundamental atoms in my body are different from the atoms of this realm, i guess the principals of physics of this realm affects my body differently. " He picked up the small spider like robot which was on the table. it was a spy cam robot used to scout the wan gong village.


    there were many new developments in the village and now, the villagers were more respectful towards him. the warriors of the village completely stopped scouting the wan gong mountain and all of it was because of the strength. Even Wargod Allience would lose some peak level experts if they wanted to take down the dragon so the strength that Sector lord commanded was worth respecting in their eyes.


    " The Tournament would take place in Slaughter woods, only there can we be sure to intermediate the various sects and show our strength to them, although on the surface they are coming for a simple competition, i am sure they would have some doubts about my strength. " His eyes shone as he looked at the upgraded sky breaker.


    It was the transmitter he used to communicate with the AI in Titanium dragon. He was eager to bring the Titanium dragon down on the surface of the planet but the weight of the ship and gravity would require him to do some modifications to the ship. The initial list of tools he needed the most was sent to the ship already and it was about time for the delivery.


    The transfer was simpler this time because of parachutes being repaired by Neno bots. they were like flies buzzing around the whole spaceship but because of low quantity, the time it took for them to ready the equipment was too long.


    He would''ve been able to reconstruct them with 3D printer but the problem was that Neno bots themselves worked like a swarm of small 3D printers which were constantly breaking and combining different matters to repair equipment. just like 3D printer changed the shape of Meterial present. without necessary Raw Meterial, even 3D printer won''t be able to make the things he desired.


    Ace stopped thinking about it as he knew that it was only a matter of time when he fully repaired the ship and conquered this piece of land. His end goal was to collect as much knowledge as he can and gather more resources so that he can once again break time-space fabric and return to his world as a strong force. He would then show humanity prime, who is the boss!


    Ace simply walked towards the peak of the mountain where a circular landing Zone was constructed. The Titanium dragon was able to move somewhat. It burned little to no fuel and movement didn''t even need to be fast so ace decided to move the ship directly above the mountain.


    This way, in future when he ordered the stuff to be delivered to the surface, he won''t have to waste landing pods. each and every single circuit counted and was valuable in this ancient era theme world.


    Soon, a square box the size of a building slowly landed on this circular landing pad. there was " Siege Worm Alpha "


    The worm robot was one of the few military grade robots in the ship. The Siege worm was designed after an alien life from known as Catastrophe Worms. They were predators and were found on many planets which had high radiation levels and No oceans, despite being Goldilocks Zone.


    The water was available underground and the underground life forms would be main inhabitants of such planets. The catastrophe worm was such a worm and usually such planets were only suitable for mining for humans. The worms would often destroy the mining bases in these planets and were thus called as catastrophe worms.


    Ace unlocked the simple lock on the box and Alice established connection with the huge robot. Soon, the robot which was like round ball, unfolded itself.


    It stood at the height of 10 meters and the head was split in three different parts. The outer skin had layers of metal teeth like protruding parts. The main purpose of this robot was to dig and collect resources. There was a hole the size of half a meter at it''s tail where a pipe would be connected and the robot would simply close it''s mouth and transform its head into a drill.


    the three different parts of mouth. would lock themselves together and start rotating while the smooth body would slide in the tunnel as it dug deeper or excavated a specific area. It can also stand like a snake and eat the earth from surface to dig huge pits.


    Ace smiled as he looked at this Seige worm. " The Alpha model, really costly but worth the cost. " Alice who was looking at robot read the specific details.


    " Able to filter ores from simple dirt, internal reactor for continuous operation and can also use self excavated radioactive meterial to recharge itself. Highest grade Comet armour. The diamond shape outer shell ensures that hard rocks won''t damage the body. Can dig in upto 2273 k temp to 50 K temp. Master, what are planning to do with this robot? Alpha version has Combat abilities that can fight any underground predators. Nuclear weapons such as Earth Shaker and Tremor. Also equiped with superior sensors to scan the earth better."


    Ace nodded as he looked at the robot. " Put it to work right now, i need a huge amount of energy crystals. we are going to excavate all the resources here and also search if there is any fertile land nearby. I think if we find a way to utilize spirit stones, we can make stronger robots."


    " i want an army of robots at my command when the tournament starts after a week. Spend all the spiritual Crystals you aquire to run armadillo classics and then make more combat robots with the workshop. hunt more beasts from the slaughter woods and then repeat. This will also reduce the trouble to set up the tournament in the slaughter woods later. "


    Ace''s eyes shined as he looked at the the Seige worm. " I have some time before i start preparing trump cards for Tournament. i should do something about this energy problem. " Although he was getting sufficient energy from petroleum for now, he cant rely on the carbon based fuel forever. it was the way of the savages, only crude people would use coal and petrol to make energy. True legends would go Nuclear!

 64 Shut Down

    @@i am shutting down this novel because recently indian soldiers were killed by Chinese army and to show support for the soldiers, indian government has banned so many Chinese apps recently. I apologise to all readers but i love my country and the respect i have for the soldiers of my country is above all else. To show my support for them, i am quitting from this community, Webnovel has been a good platform and i would miss you all but my decision is final and i won''t be returning. Love India, Vande Matram, Jay Hind!

 64 Trump card

    For this, he also had a solution which was to research the water elemental spiritual force and make the water on a large scale out of thin air. the spiritual energy was so potent that those of water elements can make the water appear out of nowhere and to make even the small amount of mass, the energy required according to e=mc2 was huge.


    ace knew that he can make everything if he did some research but he didn''t have that much time. he left it to Alice as she started doing all the designing and planning for a machine that can convert the spiritual power in the atmosphere into a huge amount of water that can be used to generate power.


    Ace wanted to concentrate on building his trump cards as his life was the most important thing that he had. Soon he finished designing as he sent the file to the main artificial intelligence of the titanium Dragon.


    As he finished it, he walked outside and a huge two-story tall space pod fell from the sky. it was a delta class war time exploration drone. it was used in war-ridden areas in the galaxies where there was a huge amount of cosmic radiation and waster as well as nuclear waste. The outer layer was really strong and thick and ace called it on the surface of the plant because he wanted to dismantle the whole drone and make better armor for himself.


    slowly they were all kinds of machines assembling a new robot together the robot was named warmonger version 0.2. two small Hyundai travels pick up a huge robotic arm equipped with inbuilt cannons. the arm was freshly made by Ace from the parts of the drone he disassemble the drone and used its outer shell to construct various parts of this new warmonger version 0.2.


    the robot was fully completed but it was hidden inside a small cave only the amount was left to be attached to the robot the aam contained use minigun which can fire deadly projectiles, equipped with armour piercing rounds and incendiary bullets this arm was secondary weapon of the warmonger robot.


    soon the few robot finished attaching the weapon to the arm of the robot. it was coloured black and it had a strange shine to it. Ace used a strange metal which he excavated with the help of siege worm. it was called firmament iron and the armor made by this iron can withstand most of the attacks of that below the spirit master level.


    although Ace had cannons all around his base but those cannons can only be used when the experts all attack him at the same time. incase ascertain export decided to probe him he would have to have an offensive weapon that won''t kill but hurt the expert such that they would know that he was a strong person with skills.


    with his knowledge, he had a few ways with which he can mimic the power of a grandmaster rank puppet master but if there was a puppet master in the ranks of the experts, he would be exposed because his robots weren''t puppets, they did not contain a hint of spiritual power and they were made of metal and ran on electricity. of course he deliberately allowed his robots to go out and fight those who were trying to sneak into his base. there were some weak guys who got captured but therw were also some strong people who defeated his robots and took them with them as samples.


    when the puppet masters of other sects took a look at his robots they would surely know that he was not controlling any puppets as his creations were completely different from the puppets of the cultivation world.


    ace was still prepared for it as he walked out of the cave and into the lab when he walked through the corridor and arrived outside of the cave entrance into the open area there was a small tower there Which was just finished by the robots. a few other small spider like robots and a few humanoid robots ware creating the platform where the martial arts tournament would take place.


    for the sector lord''s tournament, he built a really complicated venue. he carved out a huge area of the mountain to make arrangements for the spectators. there were seats for all the different kinds of expert thet would come from different sects. his real trump card was in the platform. it was a white platform with a few towers constructed, there were going to be more towers by the time the sector lord''s tournament started. he got this idea from his bomb that he made to destroy the undead abomination.


    when all hope is lost and all the expert came at him at once you just below of the Long mountain and everything surrounding it he also had a backup plan very good escape before the explosions happen as a key part of this plan was the the war devil armour that He designed recently, he just equipped it with the ability fly at mark 10. there were many function that he needed to take out from the armor but its real function was to fly him out of the area so that when the explosion happened, no expert would be able to catch up to him and they would all die at his base. he was willing to sacrifice everything as long as it insured his safety.


    ......


    soon after few days sector lord''s tournament event venue was finished and hundreds of experts from various sects were slowly reaching the mountain for sector lord''s tournament. they were all living in tents in various areas around the wan gong mountain as the mountain was surrounded with hustle-bustle and activity from various different kinds of people.there were also representatives of the sects who were staying in huge camps and were eying each other and also trying to figure out the hidden schemes this sector Lord person.

 65 Sector lords strength

    for example, the people in black clothes with purple embroidery and a weird gloomy dark tent were from shadow sect. those people cultivated dark arts which included blood, shadow, darkness,void and corrosion Elemental spiritual forces. they would also recruit the people of such attributes on sight and were one of the few sects that had the potential to be on par with the Wargod alliance.


    on a different mountain peak, there were few tents which were snow white in colour. the place had positive energy and many plants were growing near the tents. the people were wearing white clothes with golden embroidery on them as they were silently cultivating near the tents, out in the open.


    the tents belonged to the Divine dragon sect which was located in dongcang valley which was a miraculous location. it was said that the sun never sets there as the valley was made of the bones of a an ancient creature which had light elemental spiritual force. the whole valley would come alive and the bones would absorb light in the day and release the light in the night.


    it was such a beautiful place that many people wanted to cultivate here, the sect was popular among the light,nature, fire, earth, water and many mainstream spiritual cultivators.


    At the foot of the mountain there were five different colored tents belonging to the five elemental mountains. There were fire, earth, air, water and thunder. the five elemental mountains were five different third rate sects combined into one to oppose the Wargod alliance. the people of the mountain were wearing different colored clothes and were not wearing any particular uniform. there were variety of people in the group and although they were called one sect, all the mountain had different leaders and there was also fearce competition between them which was why the Wargod alliance was standing so strong against the five elemental mountains.


    the Wargod alliance on the other hand were living in a few rock caves that the earth elemental elder of the Wargod alliance carved out from the wan gong mountain. Ace knew about this digging but since it wasn''t near his dug up area where the seige worm was working, he didn''t force them to stop. the caves were huge and spacious as the people of the Wargod alliance were gathered there.


    the ten members from the Wargod''s legion were there which were the strongest experts of the wargod''s legion. there were also elder hong and elder duan and sevral other elders present there. they were discussing about the next course of action towards this sector lord.


    Han shuya who was sitting on the golden red metallic seat while wearing a red Wargod armour pondered as he looked at the elder. " I think what elder said is right but we also need to be careful. if the sector lord is as strong as the others people and our Scouts say then we will be taking a huge risk of offending him. on the other hand, it is not just our problem as there are others who thinks the same way. I think we should take wait and see approach as the other sects like Shadow sect won''t be able to sit much longer and some of them would act sonner or later. Everyone would know how strong this Sector lord is then. "


    all the elders nodded as they walked out of the tent. there were a few disciples from the dragonslayer army lined up in front of them.


    Han shuya looked at them as he spoke " you are all now members of the dragonslayer army and from today onwards you represent the War God''s alliance. You will be rewarded generously if you manage to get within the top 10 and those who can get the first three positions will be allowed to join the War God''s Legion. "


    the disciples standing there were excited as this position as one of the members of the War God''s legion was very lucrative. those who get this position can get as many amount of resources as they want and there will be no shortage of spiritual stones for them. the only thing that the Wargod''s Alliance didn''t lack were the spiritual stones and only thing that geniuses needed and had huge amount of shortage of were also spiritual stones. this would mean a Win-Win for both and surely all the disciple decided to give it their best in this tournament after hearing this declaration.


    ....


    Ace was sitting in his chair while enjoying another glass of delicious juice that Alice prepared herself as he was looking at all the different kind of screens where the data was been collected about many different peoples. there were hidden robots everywhere on the mountain and they were capturing each and every single detail of various different groups of people.


    Ace smiled as he looked at alice and said " Alice, Its finally the time we show our strength to them so that they will know who is the boss of Wan gong mountain. the primitive people of this planet needs to find out that apart from cultivating, great power can still be achieved by an individual with the help of knowledge and technology. Knowledge has always reigned supreme and it will also do the same today. "


    Ace soon walked up to the War Devil armour and put it on. the modifications were finally done and there were a few features in this armour that enhanced his performance greatly. he made it change the appearance based on his thoughts as there was a function that created an illusion around the armor with morphing of light and radiation. this property was based on the ability of the light dragon Qingshen as the armour would cover itself in illusion of light and he appear to be a mysterious cultivator wearing the original primitive clothes of this planet.


    this was to prevent others from noticing the similarities between Shen Tiancai and Sector lord. although he already stated to the War God Alliance that he was related to Shen Tiancai, if he wears same kind of Armour as Shen Tiancai, he would be exposed and they would surely know that he was Shen Tiancai.


    soon he wore the War devil armour and the light illusion came into effect. his metalic appearance suddenly changed as now he looked like a middle aged man wearing a dark brown coloured Robes with Red embroidery and a black metal armour of ancient china on his chest, hands and legs. this was the real appearance of the Sector lord that he wanted to show the world.


    He soon floated with this armour and appearance as he looked down at all the people representing various sects and powers as his voice echoed all around the mountain.


    " Hello guests from afar, I am Sector lord and I welcome you all to the Wan Gong mountain. I know that you all are here in order to win various prizes and some of you are here for the dragon''s corpse. No matter what, you all would gain something from this tournament so here i annouce the beginning of the Sector lord''s tournament! "

 66 The Eternal Swarm

    All the people started gathering at the entrance of this cave which was just besides the huge tournament venue that ace had built before hand. The gate was 10 m wide and it was directly going inside the mountain.


    the siege worm had hollowed out the mountain completely and all the material was used to produce tons of iron while all the soldiers were running on gasoline as it was the cheapest fuel available right now for ace. The other reason for him to use the gasoline as fuel was that the engine for utilising such type of fuel is easy to make.


    the manufacturing process was very simple and it was easily programmable into the robot. The other equipments were running on nuclear power which required constant power to be supplied and those equipment which had a huge amount of power consumption. for example he had a furnace which were used to melt and forge different kind of metal parta which required a huge amount of electricity to be provided to it. the nuclear power was the best way to get this electricity and the only bottleneck being the lack of the water.


    Ace was temporarily using the underground water harvested by the siege worm to cool down the reactor. it wasn''t a permanent solution as he had to utilise so many resources to cool down the reactor and the water needed to the reactor from the underground water sources.


    even though the manufacturing system that ace had put in place inside the hollow mountain was highly inefficient, it was still producing hundreds of robots every day as by now he had 17218 robots manufactured. there were separate production lines which were producing four different robots.


    The first robot he was producing was a worker class robot. he didn''t need too many of them as there were only 1000 of them which were replaced if broken once in a while.


    the second class of robots were the foot soldiers which were high in numbers as he almost produced 8000 of them. the foot soldiers were equipped with several weapons, the first weapon being a small gun which was about to fire 650 rounds per second. the bullets were specially designed to explode when they came into contact with a hard surface and penetrate if they came into contact with the soft surface.


    this would ensure that if the round came into contact with armour, it would explode and destroy a portion of the armor. it will also ensure the heat released by the round would damage the armour extensively and when the soft human skin came into contact with the round, it would be able to easily penetrate deep inside the body and do huge amount of damage.


    the third type of robots that flew out of the cave where flying drones. the sole purpose of these drones was to monitor the situation and give commands to the foot soldiers. of course, the drones weren''t without any weapons as they were equipped with small explosive grenades that they can rain down from the sky on the enemies and create a hell on earth in matter of seconds. they numbered less than 4500 as they were hard to manufacture and also required some light metals to make in order to reduce fuel consumption.


    the last robots were named as Beatles. but they were nothing like beetles as they were actually mobile tanks, they look like standard ancient Earth tanks but they were more streamlined to achieve better performance and protection and the cannons were replaced by four heavy anti aircraft guns of ancient earth. the technology was later perfected and fused with highly mobile platform of streamlined tank with high mobility.


    each gun was able to move 360 direction and they can either fire in one direction in group battle or kill approaching enemies from all around the tank. Ace decided to only reveal three of those tanks for now.


    Ace flew in the middle of this army and landed on the leading brown and grey coloured tank as he looked at all the cultivators. " This is my army of puppets, they are called the Eternal Swarm and i am warning all of you right now, if you think my strength is joke, you are free to make a move now. " He said as he smirked " But if you do, you won''t have a full corpse..."


    " What arrogance! "


    " He dare threaten us! "


    " We are no pushovers! we are from great sects and you think you can scare us with those puppets of yours! "


    there were a few people who were given the job of probing and initiating the first attack, the four major competitors of the dragon''s corpse agreed that one of the master rank elder from the shadow sect would make the first move. the elder slowly walked forward as he directly attacked the Sector lord with intention to kill.


    probing was a difficult task so he didn''t attack out in open but attacked ace from behind. There was a small dagger condensed from his spritual force which was poison and corrosion attribute spritual force. He was proficient in throwing the knife at short distance and the dangerous attributes would work and destroy the target inside out.


    of course ace wasn''t unaware of this as Alice had already warned him. " master I am detecting a huge amount of spritual force being concentrated on this person. he is going to attack...please be careful..." Alice was hidden inside the cave but she was able to be with ace with the help of his War Devil armour.


    Ace didn''t dodge as the tank he was standing on moved as one of the cannons shot one round towards the knife and other three aimed at the shadow sect elder. all of this only took a second after the knife left the hand of the elder as elder knew that he was exposed. he didn''t know what those puppets were but they looked like strange cannons on the mountain that were said to have killed the dragon.


    he had a defensive equipment for this kind of situation as he deployed a small arm guard. it released strange force as a red barrier appeared in front of him in split second but as soon as it was formed, the cannons fired simultaneously.


    * Vrrrr * * Boom boom boom boom boom *


    all of the people standing there were forced to cover their ears as the position where the elder was standing was covered with smoke. slowly after several rounds, the cannons stopped.


    * Tsssss *


    there was white smoke coming out of the barrel of the guns as slowly the dust cleared. The first thing that came into the view was a broken leg, then an arm and then far away there was another arm which was broken from shoulder. the area where the cannons fired was filled with huge holes and there was blood everywhere. the elder was dead as ace smirked.


    " As i promised, you won''t have a full corpse after I''m done with you..."

 67 Final threa

    Ace gave them no time to recover from the shock as he looked at the shadow sect''s experts. " Since your elder dared to attack me, you have to give me an explanation...the elder''s attack contained the corrosion and poison elemental spritual force ...and i believe that the people of this elements are not accepted by any other sect here..." He smirked as he looked at the shadow sect''s sect leader.


    Pan Ru looked at the Sector lord flying in the sky as he cupped his hands. " I do not know who that elder was but the moment he decided to attack, he was no longer a part of my sect...i assure you that this kind of thing won''t happen again..." Pan Ru smiled.


    He was wearing a purple robe with gold pattern on his chest which was in the shape of a snake. There was subtle dark fumes being released from his body to the atmosphere and his eyes were completely purple with no whites in them.


    Ace looked at the strange person as he Smiled towards him. " Fine, I''ll let you go if you can withstand the attack of my creations..." he used the word creations because the puppet masters knew that they were not puppets in true sense but they were made by him and worked in same way that a puppet did.


    Pan Ru nodded as he prepared himself for the incoming attack. Ace slowly lifted his hand as a small beam of plasma was released. it''s temperature was so high that it instantly made a small hole in the body of Pan Ru. The muscles just below his heart were melted and even the ribs were evaporated.


    * Tsssss *


    the dark purple blood soon filled up the wound as it healed in few seconds. Han shuya and elders of the Various sects watching this smirked as they watched the scene unfold. Pan Ru was said to be famous for his Poison and blood elemental spritual force. he cultivated a cultivation technique called currupted Immortal Flesh . this was a dark technique with which it was possible to achieve immortality.


    " Pan Ru is famous for having a body that won''t die or age no matter how many injuries he receives....No wonder they said this Sector lord is not from around here..."


    Elder Duan said as he looked at the other sect leaders. they all agreed beforehand to let the shadow sect shoulder the responsibility of provoking the Sector lord in exchange for the greater amount of rewards when they win the fight.


    The Divine Dragon sect''s sect leader Zhao Guan and the Five elemental mountain''s Water peak leader, Sea Queen Xian Delan walked along with Wargod alliance, War God''s legion leader Han Shuya walked towards the Sector lord flying in the sky. Han shuya stood besides Ran Ru as he looked into the sky.


    Han shuya smiled as he offered the ring to Sector lord " This ring here containes huge amount of cultivation resources and a few cultivation techniques of all four sects...we need you to hand over the dragon corpse and not waste our time...." This time he was forced to come to an agreement with other three sects because of internal struggle of the Wargod''s Alliance and the fact that the Dragonslayer legion needed more time mature.


    if he had the Dragon Slayer legion at the peak condition, then he won''t even need the help of other three sets to deal with the Sector lord''s Eternal Swarm. He can also ask some of the old elders of the sect to kill sector lord and take the dragon''s body but the reason the elders of the sect were unable to participate in the fight against the sector Lord was related to the yin Yang elder.


    This mysterious old man was creating trouble for the four sects everywhere as many different kinds of attacks from this old man resulted in the low cultivation level desciples dying in the battlefield. this would make the foundation of the sect weak which would affect the sects in long run. Just recently the sects combined the strength and decided to get rid of his Yin-Yang elder.


    They finally found his location and to be on the safe side, all the forces decided to send their strongest elders on a mission to kill this mysterious old man. there were some strong elders left in the sects but just in case the Yin-Yang elder decided to attack the empty headquarters of the four sects, the elders where enable to leave the forts. they were tasked with guarding the important locations and won''t be able to come to the wan-gong mountain.


    although ace didn''t know all of this information, the actions of the Yin-Yang elder resulted in giving him an advantage in his strategy. Ace also needed this time in order to digest the dragons corpse and break it down into various sub meterial that can be sent to the Titanium Dragon.


    Ace looked at all the experts gathered below him as he lifted his hand and snapped his fingers. a snap sound was heard as all of the pillars of the venue opened up. small nuclear reactors surfaced from the pillars as they released the beams of energy into the sky.


    energy beams are were concentrated and were barely half an inch in diameter but they were so hot that even the people standing far away from them were able to feel the heat.


    Ace didn''t release the energy for the people to feel the heat as he wanted them to experience the radiation. the experts with weaker cultivation started to get dizzy. Ace was fine as his armour was already radiation proof but the desciples standing at the mountain where unable to handle the radiation.


    they all started have headaches and some even directly vomited. it was just a small display of power by the sector Lord as he looked at all of the experts gathered below. " although you all are powerful than me combined, i have weapons of mass destruction at my disposal. I do not lie and I would tell you this right now that if you attack me, I will blow up this Wan Gong mountain and you all would be burried along with it.


    I assure you that I would be able to escape from here no matter what you do so it is better for you that you do not provoke me. all I want is to for you to have a fair competition and I will only give the dragons corpse to the winner. whether you like it or not you have complete. "


    Ace was really tensed right now as there were three goals for him to achieve by having this tournament, first and the most important being that he would need time to break down Qingshen''s body and although he can do it in matter of days, He still required a strong enough rocket to that can reach the Titanium Dragon with so many meterials.


    Although this Rocket ship was already being made, it required The siege worm to collect more materials. Even for a man of his capabilities, it wasn''t easy to make a brand new Rocket ship from the scratch.


    the second reason for this tournament being so important was that he needed some Practical Fighting experience as Shen Tiancai. Participating in this tournament would help him get better insights on his strengths and weaknesses.


    The third and the final reason for this tournament being so important was that he was researching about a few of the exotic materials that he found from his excavation. his main research was centred around the rock that was releasing the radiation on its own.


    if he is able to unlock the mysteries of this Rock, than he can transform spritual force into radiation which would result in nuclear power. this would mean that he would have unlimited amount of energy at his disposal.


    With this, he can repair the titanium Dragon at an even faster rate and manufacture the robots and drones that can work without the need to be recharged or without the need to be refilled with gasoline from time to time.


    Now he just hoped that his threat would work and he won''t have to blow everything up and leave.

 68 Sector lords tournament Begins

    " Mister sector lord is wise, The shadow sect agrees to join the tournament and earn the qualifications to keep the dragon''s corpse legitimately..." As soon as he said this, Han shuya''s fierce aura erupted. " Pan Ru! We agreed to fight it out with him! " He roared as he looked at Pan Ru.


    Pan Ru looked back at han shuya as he pointed behind Han shuya''s back. Han shuya was confused at first but as he looked behind him, there was a Reaper cannon that was pointed at him. it was ready to charge at any second while the drones of eternal sworm were on top of all the experts.


    Ace sighs as he looked at han shuya " Hmmm, alliance leader han was referring to me as senior few days ago and now he became so brave as to get in the way of my plans.... it amuses me to see you change your colors so soon..."


    Pan Ru chuckled as water fairy Xian Delan looked at Han shuya " Alliance leader han has always been like that... scheming behind the others...we, the five elemental mountains are also willing to participate in the tournament..." She was a beautiful lady who was wearing blue silk clothes with red silk long sleeves. it was a traditional Chinese dress and she looked just like a fairly.


    Han shuya glanced at her as he spoke in a chilling tone " Don''t forget fairly xian, it was you who wanted to have the dragon blood for yourself..." As soon as he said this, fairy xian released her aura as the atmosphere started becoming cold by the second. " We, the five elemental mountains have capability to win the whole dragon corpse! Why should we rely on Wargod''s Alliance..."


    Zhao guan also stepped forward. He was a young man at the age of 27 and was considered a young genius. He was wearing a white helmet made of gold while his white armour was glistening in the sun. it was made of the bones of the light elemental creature that died at the Divine Dragon sect''s Dongcang valley. he also had a white and gold spear made of same meterial.


    He cupped his hands towards Han shuya as he spoke with confidence " Brother Han, it was a test to see if you are qualified to lead the four sects this time... unfortunately, by not helping Pan Ru when sector lord attacked him, you failed the rest....The Divine Dragon sect won''t be co - operating with Wargod''s Alliance anymore....please forgive me..." he then looked at Ace as he nodded " The Divine Dragon sect Agrees to Sector lord''s invitation to participate in the tournament..."


    Ham shuya was furious as he looked at the sector lord. " Fine! All desciples! fall back! Wargod''s Alliance will take part in the tournament! There are no more Allies for us! We will show them who is strong! " He looked at Sector lord with angry gaze as he pointed his finger at Ace " I hope that the Sector lord won''t forget his promise and go back on his words after the Wargod''s Alliance wins this competition..."


    Ace nodded as he flew down and stood in front of the four sect leaders as he gave each of them one small tablet. " This is a special device used to tell you the rules, you can see it in your personal tents....as for the participants, they can enter the venue and i will tell them rules personally..."


    All of them took the device as han shuya directly left for his tent along with his sect elders. Although Pan Ru didn''t invite Ace into his sect, as long as Ace was a dark path cultivator, he would visit the shadow sect. Thus he didn''t need to invite any expert by going out of his way.


    Zhao Guan nodded as he looked at the tablet " Brother Sector lord can make so many amazing creations...he must be a good blacksmith or inscription grandmaster....i wonder which one it is? "


    ace was pleased with this person as he seemed to be righteous and just. he liked such straight forward people. " It''s nothing, just the magic of knowledge....it would turn on by itself when you are in your room alone...there are some special sensors which can allow you to talk to me anytime you want so be sure to keep this divice safe.


    Lady xian and zhao guan nodded as lady xian looked at the strange divice " How do I contact you if i want to? can mister sector lord demonstrate for me? " Ace looked at this beautiful lady as he smiled. he showed her the sequence of buttons that she would need to press in order for her to call him.


    This cultivator Chinese girl who grew up in ancient Chinese era with so much power and authority, instantly got attracted to the modern technology. she was also attracted towards the appearance that ace had taken of the Sector lord. although he looked like a middle aged man, it was still his face that was morphed to looked like a middle aged man and as Ace was a handsome young man, his middle aged man disguise also looked handsome and attractive.


    for the courtesy, he picked up the call and talked to her with the device and as she was comfortable with using it, Ace disconnected the call. he looked at the girl as he smiled " I am a busy man and I have many things to attend to so I will take my leave now so be sure to attend the starting ceremony as it will be fun. I would make sure that i visit both of your sects after this tournament. I also hope that one of your sect can win the dragons corpse so best of luck to you two..." he smiled as he flew away from them.


    As the sect leaders went back to their tents and all the disciples of the sects gathered around in the venue of the sector lord''s tournament competition. as they settled down, the drum started beating as slowly the music started playing.


    slowly Huge peakers emerged from the openings in the ground as they were playing loud traditional Chinese music. two dancing robots emerged from below the fighting platform as they started dancing in traditional Chinese dancing style.


    the people of various different sects never experienced this sort of thing before as this was new to them. a brand new experience made them watch it with awe and admiration as after the few hours, all the four sect leaders arrived and took their seats. although there were many other first rate sects, the leaders and representatives of the sects knew that they won''tbe able to keep the dragons corpse even if they win it so they decided to participate in this competition in order to give the disciples some practical experience in fighting.


    the tournament was held in the same style as the ancient gaming festival Olympic. there were robotic dancers dancing on the tournament podium and there were also other robots doing various stunts and various tricks were being performed by them. Ace decided to do these Performances because he needed some more time in order to stretch the length of the competition. if it was just a free for all fighting then the competition would end in a few days which would be detrimental to his plans.


    slowly a small Ring of fire lit up on the podium as Ace was lifted up into the view of the public. he stood behind the Lectern as he looked at all the people gathered in the stadium. I welcome you all in this sector lord''s tournament. we are gathered here in order to fight and gain experience but only fighting can make your mind dull and make your life boring.


    so I have arranged some entertainment for you. there will be various performances by my Creations...and they would also demonstrate various martial arts. those who win into first top 1000 will be able to spar with my robots and they will be able to gain experience without hitting themselves.


    I have arranged this tournament so that all the lone cultivators like me would benefit from it. those who cannot gain access to the martial art techniques and cultivation techniques would be able to earn them if they get into the top 300. I would provide them cultivation techniques free of cost.


    as for the top 100 people, I would give them custom made weapons. there will be grandmaster rank weapons made personally by me, tailored for their needs.


    those in top 10 will get a small part of the Dragon''s body along with huge amounts of cultivation resources and those in top 3 would receive the head of the dragon, blood of the Dragon and tail as well as horns of the Dragon respectively. this is to prevent anyone power from monopolizing dragons body.


    as for the rest of the Dragon''s body, the winner will be decided based on the amount of wealth of knowledge that the sect has....no sect is complete without strong foundation and a sect''s foundation are it''s reserves of knowledge....how many cultivation techniques they have and how many martial arts techniques they are able to amass...."


    Ace smirked as he looked at the shocked experts of the various sects while the sect leaders looked fiercly at each other. they just turned into competitors from aliies and now the reward distribution added oil into the fire. this was a race to occupy all 10 spots so that they can get the full corpse.


    Although they didn''t like it but it was also a good thing for them as it should prevent other sects from snatching everything. there was also a chance that a lone expert might win one or two of the top 10 spots but they would be able to rope that expert in with their capabilities.


    With this announcement, Huge fire pillars flew into the sky and Many firecrackers went off as ace declared. " The first round of the Tournament would Begin tomorrow....be sure to come back at 10 am in the morning! "

 69 Entertainment is a Weapon

    The middle platform was the biggest and the other four were smaller ones. all of the participants and spactators were sitting around this ground in a stepped stadium that was built just like the ones shown in Greek gladiator matches. they were cheap and easy to make and could accommodate many people.


    the rocks were then covered with cushning to take the comfort of the participants into consideration. There was a stage on one side of the tournament platforms on which all the performances by the robots were being done. Although they were robots, with some smart printing and delicate metal forming made them look like beautiful Western angels. some of the males watching them even fell in love with some of the performing robots.


    There were even some who wondered which females were more beautiful, Western or Chinese?. the female cultivators who also looked beautiful and refined because of their cultivation were slightly jelous of the beauty of the robots.


    " I wonder what kind of techniques mister sector lord used to make such lifeless things so beautiful...." Fairy Xian mumbled. The four sect leaders and representatives were given a special room to sit in and watch the tournament with big screens inside so that they can even watch highlights like a real sport. They were confused, curious and also excited like children upon seeing all the new things that they never saw before.


    Ham shuya smirked as he pressed the button on his chair. Soon his chair tilted backwards as two small Arms attached with rollers extended from a small slot of the massage chair and massaged his legs. they were warm and comfortable as the night spent at his personal room assigned by this sector lord contained this chair. " They are nothing but pieces of junk and metal....i can crush those girls with just my single punch...." He laughed as he looked at Fairy Xian.


    Fairy Xian sighs as she looked back at han shuya " Some things are not meant for combat leader Han...for example, the chair that you are sitting on...."


    Han shuya looked at the chair as he laughed " This chair is good....The servents at my place can''t give me a massage this good...hahaha....i am definitely taking several chairs like these to my sect...i am sure sector lord would give them to me for free! "


    The technology for these things were perfected and only small number of parts required Ace to be built by himself with 3D printer as all the other parts were being made in Huge Multipurpose Auto manufacturing facilities. These were machines that can give any meterial any shape or size.


    For example, if you want to make a plastic covering for the Tv, you have to have an injection moulding machine but the human civilization used the alien technology and just like the 3D printer, they designed the machined that can work with a single material and give it any shape they want. These machines were called Auto Formers as they would just take a lump of raw material and form it into the shape of the design provided to it by the main AI which was Alice.


    Ace had made three such machines, one for plastics and two for metal. They were producing all the parts of the robots now and the manufacturing robots were only given the task of Assembling all the parts that Auto Formers produced.


    Zhao Guan also turned on colourful lights inside the house, at one moment They were blue and whole room looked calming and next moment the light was pink and it would make someone fall in love. Basically Alice was giving them a first class restaurant treatment which they would get addicted to.


    Ace knew that even if the threats worked, the experts were proud and won''t be able to stop themself from scheming against his back. so he cooked a plan to give them something to focus on during their stay there. He had data about psychological warfare and he used a few soft methods in his Strategy. The goal was to occupy the attention of the important and strong individuals so that they don''t have time to scheme.


    He decided to open his Pandora''s box and release the beast of technology to the cultivation world. Ace was looking at all of them through a hidden camera while drinking the purple juice. It was juice made from a special fruit that looked like grape but it tasted sweet. The Wan Gong clan delivered huge amounts of this fruit and several other food supplies that be brought from them with few spirit stones that he dug up from their own mountain.


    The juices were also distributed among the Elders and leaders. They liked this Western way of consuming food and instantly fell in love with it. " Haha, what is this? it tastes like Purple dragon berries but i don''t see them at all....to thing that simply crushing the berries into a liquid would taste this good! "


    " You are right elder Ni, i think we should also try crushing other fruits like this and see if they also taste this good...." two fat bellied elders spoke as they gulped down glass after glass of juices that were delivered by small robots to them.


    Zhao Guan took a sip as he also smiled. " This is such a unique way to consume food....i think mister Sector lord is a blacksmith genius....he can make such strong weapons with such a low quality meterials and he can also make Something so beautiful and Amazing out of ordinary....I truly doubt if he is from our world..."


    Pan Ru looked at the screen where beautiful robot girls were giving a performance as he smirked " I wonder if those fake girls can perform like this in bed....hahaha..." Han shuya also laughed along with him as he looked at the robots. " They indeed look different than most women... they have a different charm to them...." Fairy Xian and other female elders stared at both of them as look of Disgust appeared on their faces.


    Fairy Xian Scoffed as she looked at both of them " Hmph! Men will be men....You two can go and ask the Sector lord if he will allow you both to have those dancers for you...this way you won''t ruin the lives of some poor girls....hehe " All the people of the Divine Dragon sect and Five elemental mountains laughed. Pan Ru Laughed at this but Han Shuya felt felt a little embarrassing and focused on watching the show.


    In just one night that they stayed at the sector lord''s place, they experienced watching tv, they felt the comfort of massage chairs and soft warm water beds. They also experienced the joy of taking a bath in a hot water bathtub and also given the opportunity to eat delicious Western food. This made an overwhelming impact on them. The Dance was almost over as Ace''s projection appeared on the TV screen.


    " Hello Sect leaders and elders, i am here to ask if you are having any difficulty while staying here. I hope you liked my inventions..." Zhao Guan Smiled as he nodded " Brother Sector lord truly makes wonderful things. My Divine Dragon sect would like it if brother Sector lord can sell us few of your weapons and Robots..."


    As soon as he said this Pan Ru also added " My Shadow sect would also like to purchase a few Hot Water Bathtub and The lights as its generally dark in the Nether Forrest. Of course we would also like the robots just like Divine dragon sect."


    Han shuya also added as he looked at the projection " Although we are against each other, i am sure Mister Sector lord won''t deny business with us, we want the weapons and The robots too..."


    Lady Xian finally added " Mister Sector lord, I would like to know how you can make those lifeless things look so beautiful? Your makeup skills must be amazing....Can you do my makeup? Of course my sect would also like to trade with resources for various creations of yours..."


    Ace nodded as he looked at all of them. " Sure, if you want to buy my creations, i don''t mind selling them to you. As for lady Xian, i would Gift you with a special robot that can do your makeup so you can look your best in the future " He smiled at her as lady Xian nodded.


    The plan of his seems to be working as he looked at the four sect leaders even forgetting about the tournament as they enjoyed the creations of his which made the human society currupted and lazy in his universe. The bad side of technology which was entertainment.


    The industry spanned from movies and games to the Physical comfort equipment. Although he wasn''t able to introduce the biggest devil of the entertainment industry, The social media to the cultivation world, the things that he showed them did their work.


    He smiled as he announced in the tv screen as well as on the huge screen in the stadium that all the people were looking at. " Now that dance is over, We can start the first round of tournament. The rules are as follows...."

 70 Preliminary Rounds

    " There Will be priliminary rounds first. everyone wants to win and there is a basic difference between the lone cultivators and the cultivators of the sects. there are 300 entry slots and sects can buy these slots for their outstanding geniuses. The price will be cultivation manuals and martial arts techniques."


    As soon as he said they all the sect''s representatives pearked up their ears as they listened carefully. " Of course, they don''t need to be your core techniques and you can exchange for any techniques and methods but there are some rules in this system too. There will be no repetition. if one sect has already submitted certain manual, other sect can not submit a copy. A complete version would be counted first over an incomplete technique. "


    The sect leaders and other representatives were in uproar as they discussed among themselves. Ace continued " There are benefits to buying these slots as the participants who pay the most would automatically get the first place. they won''t have to fight until the top 1000 are decided. The participants who earn the 301st point can not challenge the 1st rank as he is only allowed to challage a participant 10 ranks above him... meaning that if someone wants the 1st position, he would have to defeat 10 people from 300 to 10 first. "


    Han shuya had a smirk on his face as he looked at the screen that was showing him rules in written as well as a book that was given to him as he laughed " Truly, he not only smart in making things but politics as well..."


    Ace showed everything in a presentation he prepared on the huge screen in the stadium.


    " Of course, the price of the ranks aren''t fixed and the sect who gives more valuable books would be given more points and based on those points, the rank of the disciples would be decided. "


    Fairy Xian Looked at one of her elder as the elder nodded. he was the one carrying multiple space storage rings which contained a huge amount of such books. " Make sure all our disciples get at least into top 100 so that they won''t have to complete too much and can win the tournament essyly..."


    Ace continued to explain as the screen flashed with different images " Now for the lone cultivators and those disciples of sects who won''t get a place in top 300, The priliminary rounds are a way for you to enter top 1000. Killing isn''t allowed and crippling someone would result in punishment according to your circumstances. The matches will take place in three stages in which, in first stage, you would be assigned to a group according to your cultivation. "


    This statement sparked a wave of fear in masses as they still remembered the elder who was killed so brutally that only one of his hand and a leg were intact. " As for how the the participants of top 300 to 1000 can challenge the top 300, we will discuss about it later... first of all, let''s discuss the first round of preliminary rounds. Those who are participating has no need to provide their name or their attribute. "


    The huge screen showed each and every single participants pictures that his drones took while they were sitting in the stadium. " I already know how you look like, so your pictures will be used as your identity. if you want your name to be known, just speak your name loudly and it would appear on the screen below your picture. " He smiled as he added " Of course, you need to first show your cultivation so that we can pair you in groups. To show your cultivation, I suggest you inject the spritual force into these rocks one by one...."


    A few black rocks the size of cars extended out from the walls. these were the standard equipment available in all the sects to measure the cultivation level of the individuals.


    " Wow, why are these black jade rocks so smooth? one at our sect has so many dents and damages..."


    " It''s even in a perfect ractangle shape...i wonder how sector lord made this? "


    " but one at a time would take so much time? right? "


    Ace clapped his hands as the rocks split into multiple square cubes as the cubes slowly fell down onto the ground. There were small microchips attached to the cubes as Ace picked up a cube and threw it to one of the male in the crowd. On the screen his picture appeared Along with " Cultivation level - XxxX"


    " His cultivation has been measured, but for security reasons, we will keep your cultivation levels a secret. only i would know them and you will be paired accordingly. " So i invite you all to pick up one rock each and register for the tournament. May the strongest win! "


    There was an uproar in the crowd as the people rushed towards the rocks. some were sceptical but they knew that they won''t be able to participate if they don''t register themselves.


    those who were to be backed by the sects were calm as they didn''t need to rush among the crowd. Ace already gave the sects all the things that they would need before hand. The sect leaders and representatives already registered their important disciples in the competition.


    Ace looked at people trying to get the rock cubes one after another as he spoke again " Those who do not get to register today would be allowed to register later but they will be directly assigned last position. The fight for the top 1000 would take place tomorrow, today you all can rest while the auction for the first 300 slots are held. "


    Ace said as the crowd listened to him while being busy and in a hurry to register themselves. Ace walked out of the stadium and into his lab though the cave as he looked at another camera inside. there were rooms assigned to every sect''s important individuals.


    They had a screen on which they would be able to bid. Ace''s face appeared on their screen after the view of the stadium as he smiled at them from within the war devil armor. " Now those who agree to participate in the auction can send the books you have into the Hidden slot that is available in your room. There is a red button besides the bed, pressing which would open a slot in the wall on the right. remember, the more book you send in, the higher your rank. "


    As soon as Han shuya and others heard this, they left the common room and headed for their bedroom. it wasn''t appropriate for them to show others their bids. Ace also placed this system in place because the Sects won''t know who bid how much and would be forced to guess and bid more. " You all can see the rank of your geniuses in real time on the screen. There will be sect names on the display and you can bid for the multiple slots. you can specify on the screen as to for how many slots you want to bid and your books contribution would be divided into the number of slots. "


    he also added " Of course, if you are unable to qualify for top 300, your books will be returned. The contribution would be counted based on the level of the techniques as higher rank techniques would be assigned more points compared to low rank techniques. This also applies based on attribute as fire, light and few other attributes would be given priority and such books would receive more points..."


    He finished his speech as behind him, there was a huge vault, slowly it started filling up with books.


    " Haha, this is a huge harvest! quick Alice! scan them and feed them to my brain as soon as possible! I also need to change, give me some clothes. I need make an appearance as Shen Tiancai! "

 71 Group battles

    as soon as he walked in from the door, several people standing on the platforms glanced at him. they were surprised to see him but they didn''t give him that much attention. The person with golden skin was a rare sight but there were myriad of cultivation techniques which allowed some cultivators to grow wings and some to transform into animals too.


    Thus ace didn''t cause much of an impact when he arrived. The four sects also didn''t recognize ace as Han shuya and others saw ace before he transformed. The appearance of ace back then was tottly different from right now. He was more handsome and more mature.


    " Wow, who is that golden handsome? I wonder how strong he is? if he has decent cultivation, it''ll be worth it to chase him! "


    " Do you think he can grow gold from his body? do you think he is rich? "


    " Big sister i think i am in love! "


    " You little brat! how can you fall in love at such a young age? besides, that person would look good with your big sister here hehe"


    of course, Ace''s good-looking face was further enhanced with his strength. He attracted the attention of the females in the stadium and earned the envy of many males. He slowly walked towards his assigned battle platform.


    There were five Battle platform in the stadium and the first round would be a group Battle Royal. There were almost 100 people gathered in each platform as there were just too many disciples. The four second rank sects had millions of disciples and only a fraction of them were here. They were all geniuses nurtured by the sect to take important positions in the future.


    there were many disciples there as ace glanced at them one by one. There was no need for him to bring any technical aid with him this time as he was already protected by the titanium dragon from the sky and Alice, with the help of Eternal swarm. In fact, the eternal swarm was now even more bigger and stronger after two days that passed.


    The projection of Sector lord appeared on the screen as Ace smirked. Two days were taken for people to get used to hearing sector lord''s voice and seeing him on the big screen and even if he didn''t appear now, they won''t suspect a thing. He gave the control of Eternal Swarm to the Alice and also the responsibility to act as him by wearing the Red Devil armour. Alice was an Advanced AI and could replicate his behavior perfectly as she was able to convince the people that she was the Sector lord.


    " The platform in the middle which is the biggest is for spirit master rank 5. Make sure that you don''t kill or cripple anyone and the stray attacks would be taken care of by the shields.


    There were force fields all around the battle platform which ran on neuclear energy and can even stop a small atomic bomb from going off and contain the damage in one are.


    They did this by creating a small area of gravity vortex based on the principal of the event horizon. The black hole which won''t even allow light to escape from it and it would slow down even the time at the event horizon.


    The same principal was applied here but In much smaller scale. The gravity vortex engine would produce a psudo even horizon force field around the platform and nothing would escape from the force field. If someone decided barge in, he would be thrown back with a rebound.


    " Now, when the bell rings, all the participants can start fighting. Keep in mind that we only need top 1000 and there are almost hundred thousand people who are participating. So per 500 participants, only 5 can win. The battle royal has one condition to win. either you defeat 100 people or you survive untill only five people are remaining. You must make opponent unable to fight, The participants who are injured or defeated would be asked to leave the ground immediately..."


    There were several other rules announced as soon a small army of robots marched into the tournament ground and they stood below the battle platforms. " The robots would make sure to extract anyone critically wounded. Now, let us Begin with this exciting match! "


    * Gong *


    The sound was like a thunderclap that woke up the participants as they rushed towards nearest person standing near them. Some made groups with the same sect members while some ganged up on the strong ones. There were also some who went after their enemies and some who were hiding in the dark.


    Ace was standing there watching the chaos unfold as a big guy with a dark rusted heavy axe walked towards him. Other disciples instinctively avoided him as he walked and stood in front of ace. " Hey pretty boy, you would my first hunt, blame your bad luck that you have such a good-looking face. let me help you take your beauty down a notch "


    Ace churned his internal Spritual force as it slowly gathered in his stomach. It then moved into his right arm and his arm swelled as if a dragon was travelling inside of it. He punched the huge guy who was attacking him with an axe. the impact was so loud that it can be heard by all 100 people in his platform. The big guy was sent flying.


    Ace noticed the first thing after he utilized the spiritual force was that he was having a hard time gathering the scattered spiritual force in his body. although he was able to fo it in half a second, it wasn''t fast enough. He already had so much knowledge about cultivation now and the thing he was lacking was a spirit core. By gathering the huge amount of spiritual force that available to his spirit master rank body, he would be able to form a small ball of Spiritual energy.


    This was called a spirit core and after it was formed, he won''t have to bother collecting the Spiritual force from different places in his body, he can directly burst forth with spiritual force with the help of Spirit core.


    " It seems i need to form this Spirit core as soon as possible..." He smirked as he looked at other disciples staring at him with hostility. There were only a few strong individuals in the Spirit Master rank 1 and all of them wanted to be the one to survive from 100 people. Some of the sect disciples had an agreement to fight together with any dark horse that appears and crush them at this stage so that their seniors in top 300 won''t have to bear the pressure of losing their spot to lone cultivators.


    As soon as the big guy who was sent flying, landed on the ground, the ground was cracked a little as the person coughed blood. The forcefield slowly opened and a robot swiftly pulled him outside for treatment.


    " It seems he is a dark horse, get ready! everyone, we must defeat him here " A tall disciple of the Five elemental mountain spoke. He was Dai Yin, A genius of Water elemental spiritual force. As soon as he spoke up, More than half of the 100 people gathered behind him. They all looked ace with hostility as Ace smiled as he looked at them.


    " I knew this would happen...you can not watch a lone cultivator get ahead of you...but you chose the wrong person to mess with today..." As he said that, He suddenly jumped into air as he pointed his palm towards them. the spiritual force rushed to his palm as a huge golden palm descended from hid palm as it landed on several lone cultivators who were standing near him while fighting. They were all crushed under the palm and some even passed out from the pressure.


    He instantly defeated 8 people as he landed on a different spot. The robots were busy getting the defeated out one by one as he looked at the sect''s combined group. " It''s good that you guys formed a group.... it''ll be boring if you come at me one at a time...."
