Chapter 326 - Seek (2/2)

”I understand, My Lord. I shall send one of my men to retrieve him.”

”Oh, does that mean you are not going yourself?”

”I cannot leave Hell, my Lord. The Abyss had been opened and war is raging, as the Commander I cannot leave this place. I hold the duty of protecting our people.”

”Is that so, then I will no longer dwell into it. Keep my people safe as I break the seal to the Origin.”

”I understand my Lord.”

And so, the Hell World had made their move.

=====

Under the dark and gloomy sky a woman with flawless beauty stood amongst the death and destruction. She stared at the sky with lifelessness and longing. A raindrop touched her cheek and fell to the ground; it merged with the river of blood that is by the woman's feet.

Scattered throughout what used to be a city was the body of its former citizens. A valley of blood and carnage formed with the body of different creatures that lay lifeless on the ground.

Her view was hazy, her body slowly started becoming cold. The blood on her body washed by the downpour. A multitude of different emotions swirled within her heart, but the presence of sadness was nowhere to be found.

She had become numb to the feeling of seeing the sight of carnage. Ever since she reached Immortality she had been constantly becoming more and more of a weapon. Inside her is something she does not know, it was a scourge she wishes that will disappear.

Her tears mixed with the rain and she opened her mouth to scream. Her qi exploded and the corpse around her flew into the air, scattering like dirty fireworks.

”This is what I want! I am becoming stronger, my strength is uncontested! No matter what, I should be happy, right?!” Her laughter echoed just like her screams, her mind was already on the edge, but soon enough her laughter ended.

She became despondent. This is what she wanted all those times, but right now she only feels empty. This power is not hers, she knows not what is becoming. Slowly, she is becoming a monster.

Not a Beast or a Human, she is nothing but a monster craving for death and blood. She doesn't even know what she is doing when she fights making her no worse than a puppet.

She is not afraid to kill, she can kill the innocent and the wicked. Death is nothing but a state to her. But right now she is fearful, she is not herself anymore, she is afraid. Afraid that she will be devoured by the thing that lies in her own blood.

The words of the White Dragon that day echoed in her mind, an abomination in this world. The White Dragon who experienced this rampage of hers firsthand called her something closed to a monster and it would seem that its words were correct.

Nothing is keeping her from going insane. In the past it was not like this, she needs someone to ground her in reality and so she collects the blood that scattered on the battlefield and devoured it all.

Her qi was processed quicker than before and her core vibrated. The cultivation that had been stuck at the sixth meridian moved up once again. At the expense of a city, she reached the seventh meridian.

She faced tribulation and she devoured the lightning of heaven. But in her act of devouring lightning once again, she grew stronger. And with her conquering of the seventh meridian, she gained the ability to control space.

Upon gaining such power her tear-stained face bloomed into a hopeful smile. She left for somewhere secular, wishing to train in the ways of space manipulation in order for her to return to the second-best place she can think of.

In the embrace of the people she also called her family.

Bai Xue wished to find warmth.
