{The true story of how the world truly fell into the age of modern cultivation has been greatly shrouded. There"s more to it than anyone could have ever imagined, and what I"ve found out is enough to get me killed by forces way beyond our current scope of comprehension. The birth of the empire of heaven, the Albion Empire and every other major power is not as simple as what the history books tell us. The humanity of planet earth would have grown just fine and into their power and potential, but earth became a p.a.w.n in a war between the two most powerful forces in the universe.And when their battle was brought to earth, a planet lacking in resources but for some reason was still smack-dab in the center of the universe. They made their camps, integrating themselves with the locals teaching cultivation and magic until eventually the two great empires were formed, both of them a front for this two secret universal powers. The empire of heaven and the Albion Empire are colonies of greater powers, they don"t belong to us and I fear they will lead the earth to an early grave without the chance to reach her full potential. And this is because I"ve discovered that...….the secret to G.o.dhood is hidden on this seemingly barren rock, and they"ll happily kill us all just to find it.}
The man who had called this play h.e.l.l opened the cell doors and came into the cell. Alex noticed how the rest of the disciples took a step back away from the man, he was covered in dirt and grime and his clothes were practically rags, but apart from his yellow crooked teeth, his next defining feature probably has to be the goat horns on his head, and his equally yellow eyes.
"How the h.e.l.l you boys survived out there in the wild for this long is actually quite surprising, but I guess that"s your luck, and now your luck has ran out. Either way you and your pretty friend should prepare yourself, tonight you would both be blooded, and I hope to all the G.o.ds for your sake that you"re strong enough or at the very least entertaining enough....or else your death is going to be really painful."
He gave a sinister chuckle as he walked toward the group of dead bodies hanging from the cell wall from their wrists which had heavily rusted and bloodied manacles that had dug into their flesh. Alex though perhaps he was about to take the bodies out of the cell, but much to his abject and extreme shock, the man took a ma.s.sive bite out of the neck of the first dead body; one that belonged to a woman. He did not care about the rot, or the maggots and stink that went with it. Louis and Alex both lost their previous meal; such a sight was too much for them. The others didn"t even seem as shaken by the sight in front of them as the man proceeded to eat more of the dead body.
He was taken his time, taken slow methodic bites, eating the neck, nose and ears right in front of everyone. Then he changed his target from her face and began eating her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, biting the tip and digging his way into them like he was stuffing his face full of watermelon or cake. The revulsion they all felt was out of this world, because even though the cultivation world is so messed up, this wasn"t something they ever imagined they would be seeing such a sight as someone eating a dead body with such gusto.
They had no choice but to watch him eat, and eat, and eat. When he got to the spot between her legs, his fervor even seemed to increase as he made slurping sounds. Alex and Louis tried looking away, but even if they could stop themselves from seeing what was going on, they could not stop themselves from listening to the travesty happening so close to them. And it went on for a good two hours, during which Yun Fao had woken up and was subjected to the same horrific sight.
Alex"s storage ring was nowhere to be found, hence there were no weapons in sight, but even worse was the fact that he felt a sort of suppression on himself, making it unable for him to use his Qi or properly utilize his spirit energy. It madeAle3x just how dire his situation was, they had no weapons and no Qi, these guys really had them by the throat here. With the displays of necrotic cannibalism happening close to him, and his obvious powerless form, Alex was beginning to panic. This Infernal prison dimension is the most f.u.c.ked up place he"s ever had the misfortune of being and in all honesty he would very much like to get the f.u.c.k off this b.l.o.o.d.y world.
{Chiriririr?}
Alex couldn"t help the wave of relief he felt at the annoying chitterling of Khan, it seems that even though he had no access to any sort of power Khan was an exception. After two hours had elapsed the dirty horned man had finished eating all three bodies without his body even growing an inch, Alex had to wonder if this guy was some sort of bottomless pit, how could he eat three full grown people and still not show a single sign. It was beyond weird and freaky, and dark, very dark. But even then it gave Alex enough time to try and khan to find a way out of the cell, however there seemed to be some restriction on it, which means Khan could only go out when the cell doors themselves were opened by someone authorized, aka the crazy dead body eating man.
"Ahhhh! What a very satisfying meal! Well I should go now, there"s still much to be done, I have to go prepare your dying grounds." And then he marched towards the cell doors, however the moment he opened those doors Alex spoke up.
"Who the h.e.l.l are you? What are you?"
The man came to a halt as a gust of wind went past him, ruffling his hair and giving him an even more fierce expression. His yellowed teeth were b.l.o.o.d.y with coagulated blood and maggots could still be seen wiggling around his crooked teeth and mouth. He took a step forward, and another, and another using large strides until he was right in front of Alex. The stink from his mouth as he breathed on Alex was almost death inducing, it was taking all of Alex"s energy and fort.i.tude not to vomit all over the face of this very messed up individual.
"Who am I? What am I...well young man, that"s for me to know and for you to find out and I can guarantee you it"s going to be a very delicious experience." The he proceeded to like the middle of Alex"s face, from the tip of his jaw to the top of his forehead, leaving a residue of the gore and maggots he just ingested on Alex"s face. And then to finish it up he added…"You"re going to be delicious!"
Alex took a deep breath as he watched the man leave the cell room, he gritted his teeth spitting out a glob of saliva with a disgusted look on his face. He shifted his gaze towards Louis and Yun Fao, venom in his eyes as he got back up to his feet. Yun Fao recognizing the look spoke up.
"We"re going to kill him, I promise you."
They"ve been through so much together that it was quite easy for Yun Fao to recognize killing intent from within Alex"s gaze. It was not As if the man had done anything to hurt Alex, not yet anyway, but to Alex everything about him just felt so wrong, the very sight of him evoked such strong emotions from Alex, throwing him off balance and leaving with an indescribable urge to restore that balance.
"You guys are just wasting your time, I don"t know how you survived out there, but it would Have been better if you all had remained hidden, there"s no fighting these guys, he might be in mortal gate realms, but he"s strong enough to face an earth gate cultivator. You need more than just a baseless and powerless intent to kill to win." Lu Wan spoke up with a somber tone.
Neither Alex, Louis or Yun Fao had any idea what the arrogant young master has gone through this past few weeks to end up so hollow, but it didn"t shake their convictions. While the others have been trapped here, undergoing whatever h.e.l.l they were going through, the three of them were out there struggling to survive and grow stronger; they"ve faced odds that would otherwise render other more capable and stronger people dead. At this point they lacked fear for any sort of challenge or enemy, not when they knew that they were together.
"Just who is this guy anyway?" Louis asked, his answer came from a female disciple, in particular the purple haired girl Alex had fought last during the open meridian battle royale.
"He"s a devil cultivator, mages would call him a kind of necromancer, but the gist of the matter is he grows his power by feasting on the dead and death energy, he"s on a whole other level of bad."
Alex looked at Yun Fao and Louis but the convictions in their face were not shaken, after all they had trump cards that even a devil cultivator would not be able to face off against. Alex nodded his head to them and sat down cross legged facing the cell, Yun Fao and Louis moved to stand beside him as a means to protect him. The other disciples looked in surprise as Alex closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was hanging on the ceiling of another cell room watching as a man was being relieved of his toes. He was no longer himself, at this point, he was just...Khan
