Chapter 468 - Proof (1/2)
Killing intent, bloodl.u.s.t, pressure, all of these were the same. But knowing that does not mean one would where it came from. So, where did it stem from? One's soul and one's animosity that builds over time. It gets stronger with every life taken and with every spike in one's emotion, in short, it has roots in one's life experiences.
The culmination of one's lifetime, the essence of one's fighting prowess. Though some had greater killing intent than others, the fact remains the same that, like cultivation, it improves with time, and… Wang Ling had been cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
Unknowingly honing it by killing billions of practitioners who got in his way. He slaughtered town's worth of lives at first, then he moved to city's worth, then countries worth until finally, at some point in his life it was said that he managed to kill a part of the continent.
Leaving nothing but desolation and the stench of rotting flesh and blood that stays for years to no end. A lonely man he must have been, yet a deadly cultivator. Stories about him were heard, deadly, ruthless, and uncaring, he was a killing machine trapped in a small world.
Thus, in that world, he cultivated the strongest killing intent and in the current cosmos, only a few could match him, but for his anger to suffocate thousands of people… that was something else beyond normal recognition.
The world turned red in the eyes of those who could feel it. Many had fallen victim to the surprised rampage and those who still stand dare not approach its source. Images of their own death flashed before their eyes at the thought of fighting such a monster.
The only monster who could very well match such killing intent would be Sun Wu, the Slaughter Emperor Spear, but that man stands before Wang Ling and he, was speechless.
”You're… real?” instinctively, he could tell, it was unlike before. Sun Wu stood before Wang Ling and seeing those eyes filled with seething rage for his family, it was the same as before. Tears fell as he asked him once more, ”Tell me… are you the son of my friend? Are you the one who I care for all those years? Show me the Haloes and the Wings that you once bore, not a single lineage the Revenants possessed! I beg of you, allow me to give my Masters a chance to smile wholly once more!”
”I am, the true Wang Ling, always had and always will. I clawed my way out of the afterlife just to return!” With his killing intent still rampaging, four of Golden Rings appeared on the back of his head, ”But that is not enough, correct? Thus, I must show you that I am the true Wang Ling. I cannot show you my wings and my haloes at once, but I will show you something more than enough to make you believe.”
DONG!
A silent gong echoed, a gong only a select few could hear.
The Deities turned to Wang Ling with widened eyes and Roan who had been silent all this time smiled as he fell on his knees, ”The All-Father had summoned the Family Bell!! I have truly been blessed!”
Roan threw his mask away; his Hellish Qi ran wild as his smile became pure. The sight of the Bell of Heavens or as he called the [Family Bell] caused him to smile until he cried.
No one, not even Wang Ling knew the significance of the Bell of Heavens. It was a weird sight to see such a being like Roan crying for no reason, especially in the eyes of Humans, but Sun Wu's mouth was open wide sensing that a Devil was with Wang Ling.
He could remember a time when the Two GodKings visited their Family Head to mourn. It had been said that Wang Ling was someone that was of importance to them as well, and seeing a Devil by Wang Ling's side unearthed such an event.
