two and a half months later.levi fully absorbed the ravens bloodline in this time. he also broke into the 3rd qi refining level. the wings were made of blood, but still looked like real wings for some reason. he also got a skill of sorts. when he makes his fingernails longer and slashes out with his hand, it makes five blades of wind.
during these two months he practiced using them and even modified it. when he slashed out, at the same time he would also release some of his venom, which would make a poisonous wind blade. if it doesn"t cut you right through, even if it"s just a scratch, you would probably still die from the poison.
since he already got the raven"s bloodline, he decided to go back to the sect. it was almost time for the five year tournament anyway. his back started to bulge before two huge red wings came out. he flapped his wings and shot up into the sky, causing the nearby tree"s to lose some branches.
because his wings were made of blood, they weren"t as strong as the raven"s. but this couldn"t be considered a problem, because if he injected enough qi into them, they could become even stronger and faster than the raven"s for a period of time. but, although he broke through to the 3rd qi refining level, he wasn"t strong enough to do that very often, only in a life or death situation.
another reason he left desolate mountain was because he was too weak. he barely survived, and he was just on the outer part of the mountain. he "heard" that the inner mountain was absolute h.e.l.l, so since he already got something from this gamble, he wasn"t willing to lose it along with his life, while trying to win more.
while flying, he caught sight of two figures coming straight towards him. they were emitting an extremely terrifying amount of killing intent. levi"s blood shook, as if warning him of an unbeatable existence. without a second thought he turned and went in another direction, as he started to pump his qi into his wings.
but would he be able to get away just like that? no! the two people easily caught up to him. one of them stabbed out with their hand, destroying levis heart while sending a scorching qi into his body. "aghh!" levi shouted in pain. he fell from the sky into some trees, when his body touched the ground, it was in a wretched state.
he laid on the ground, unmoving. the two people soon appeared. "what a weakling. why did they feel the need to send me to kill him?" one of them said. "aww, don"t be like that. he"s just in the qi refining levels while you"re in the heaven and earth stage, of course he would be weak compared to you!" the other one playfully said.
"they said that this person must be killed and he is dead. let"s go back!" he said. what they didn"t know was, since he could move his blood at will, levi didn"t need his heart to survive. not a drop of blood was coming from the gaping hole in his chest. he was silently listening to their conversation to find out who wanted him dead, but they didn"t say anything about the person.
when they left, levi got up and panted heavily. cold sweat was running down his face as he stared up to the sky coldly. he tried to rebuild his heart and heal the hole, but couldn"t. he would need to absorb blood to be able to rebuild his heart. once again, wings appeared on his back. he Unsteadily shot into the sky once more.
although the loss of his heart wouldn"t kill him, the hole in his chest still hurts!
...
demonic G.o.d sect.
"i wonder if that brat is ok? he should be right? yes! no matter what happens, he will be fine!" the sect master was alone in his hall pacing back and forth. he did this everyday since levi left.
cras.h.!.+
all of a sudden, something broke through the large window. "who would dare!" the sect master saw this scene and immediately snapped. he body releasing a ghastly black aura, his eyes turning bright red. "old man, get me a large animal!" a hoa.r.s.e voice rang out. the sect master was shocked at the familiar voice.
"oh, my dear disciple! why did you come through the window?" the sect master"s tone changed as he asked with a bewildered expression. levi struggled to stand up straight. when he saw levi"s chest, the sect master was feeling a lot of different emotions. shock, astonishment and anger.
"get me a large animal!" levi"s hoa.r.s.e voice rang out again. the sect master said nothing as he left. he didn"t want anybody to see levi"s current condition, because other people might take things differently. after a while he returned with a large sheep.
levi said nothing as he grew out his fingernail and slashed it"s throat. the sect master watched silently as levi absorbed the blood causing the sheep to deflate. levi controlled his blood as he rebuilt his heart. after a while, his heart was rebuilt but he still had to fix his bones and muscles.
"who did this?" suddenly the sect master asked. he had a rare serious look on his face. "i don"t know." levi replied. "what is the heaven and earth stage?" levi asked. "the heaven and earth stage is the one that i"m currently in. two stages above the qi refining levels is the heaven and earth stage. in the heaven and earth stage, you seek to understand heaven and earth. by understaning hevwn and earth, you would be able to use and absorb the qi of heaven and earth." the sect master thought for a while before saying.
"wait..." he suddenly thought of something. " it was someone in the heaven and earth stage that did this to you!? what kind of trouble did you cause!? how are you still alive?!" he shouted. levi looked at him coldly. "i don"t know why they tried to kill me. one of them destroyed my heart, they thought i was dead so they left." he said.
"how did you survive without a heart?" the sect master asked in shock. "that"s not important. i don"t think they were from the divine country!" levi said. "what are you talking about? the divine country is huge! and if they weren"t from here, then where? what made you think that they weren"t from here?" the sect master asked.
"because, those people were at the heaven and earth stage, but they looked no younger than 18 or older than 20!" levi said seriously. "18!?" the sect master couldn"t find anymore words to say. he just stood with his mouth opened, no trace of the refined sect master to be seen.
"i"m going back to my room." levi got up and turned around. "wait! when you left i prepared a room here for you to stay!" the sect master finally woke up from his stupor and said. "why?" levi asked. "you should know why." the sect master replied.
"where is it?" levi asked. "i"ll take you there." the sect master walked out of the hall, levi followed him. they arrived in a large room, it was definitely more luxurious than the one he was in before. "you can leave now." levi turned to face his master, he pushed him out and shut the door.
the sect master stood outside the door in a daze before regaining his senses. "YOU ICY BRAT! NOT EVEN A WORD OF THANKS?!" he shouted. he turned around and walked away thinking. "he seems... different. is it because of that skill he is cultivating? or something else? regardless, who is trying to kill him? and why?" he thought about these things seriously but still couldn"t find a reason.
