3 The Little Devil (2/2)

After the news got out , that little devil became the target of assassination of all the influences who didn't want to Heavenly Demon Sect to rise or get stronger. However, that little devil spent all his time in the Heaven demon palace next to his father which made it almost impossible to assassinate him. Three years ago, some of the other sects high level found out that the little devil had left the Heavenly Demon palace and was staying on top of mountain at the Exam site of the Heavenly Demon palace and quickly sprung into action. As such, every year, many assassins disguised as examinees flood into the Heavenly Demon sect to take part on the sect's recruitment of disciples in order to get close to that little devil so they can assassinate him.

So far none of them have succeeded. However, that didn't stop them from trying as the reward was too good to pass on. Especially those Warriors that have been stuck at the peak of Martial Emperor realm, unable to open their upper-dantian to breakthrough the realm of Martial Sovereign and become Top Class warrior or master.

........

As they got closer to the top of the mountain, the surrounding area became a desolate land that consisted of scorched earth. The ground was littered with an unbelievable amount of cracks, as if this land had been burned by the strongest flame in this world.

This huge mountain that used to be filled with many tall trees that pierced through the sky, grasses that were as tall as one waist and also the house of many 4th rank demon beasts has turned into nothing but a barren desolate land devoid of any life.

Closing the distance to the top of the mountain, the two assassins only saw death: dried trees and withered forest, bare mountains devoid of birds and beasts; a land of stillness.

At this point the two of them couldn't help but feel a cold chill behind their back as they got closer. They could feel an evil energy coming from the top of the mountain as though there was an ominous beast at the top.

Not only that , they also felt as though they were being watch by an ominous thing. This feeling gave them a sudden goosebumps. If it wasn't the fact that they really needed that Soul Essence Crystal , they would've never go to this evil place and would've turned back and aborted that damn mission long ago.

The further up they went up , the worse that ominous energy became. The deeper they went, the fewer corpses they saw. Nonetheless, they refused to give up as they climbed up bravely.

Soon, after a good half and hour of struggling with their inner fear and uneasiness, they finally made it to the top of the mountain. And the first thing they saw was a youth sitting crossed leg underneath a huge dead tree.

The child was around the age of ten or eleven. He was a little boy with a lean figure as well as a face that was incomparably handsome. His skin was white as jade and his face was so pretty that it did not seem real. The boy would naturally be lady killer with his look when he grows up.

His long dark hair flowed down his back like black ink without being tied up in any way, allowing it to move like prairie grass in the wind.

He was wearing a long white robe which contrasted the surrounding environment. His eyes were tightly closed, and his long eyelashe fluttering in the wind. His expression was calm and gentle, as if he was sweetly asleep instead of meditating.

His countenance was so peaceful, it as if he was a scholarly noble young master that fell asleep under the tree.

But without knowing why, the moment they saw that child, they suddenly had a feeling that was like the fear and trepidation one felt before a disaster. They didn't even dared to move as they stood there frozen looking at the child.

In the silence, there was strangeness contained within.

As if time had stopped at this moment.

After a long time.

A sense of dread and misfortune could not help but be born into their hearts as they were looking at the youth.

The youth that was sitting down and meditating slowly opened his eyes and look in the two peoples' direction. Afterward, he gently closed his eyes again and reached a state of zen once more without caring whether these two people were friends or foes.

However , this single glance was enough to shake everyone of them to their core as they took several steps backward.

The youth's eyes were like bottomless pool of darkness. It was like looking inside a depth of ever-ending void. Not only that, It was as if his eyes matched the way he felt towards the world: cold, dark, and indifference. He only gave them a single glance as though they were nothing but bugs in his eyes.

His right pupil and iris was covered with some sort of intricate red magic rune or circle which shone brightly while his left pupil and iris were also covered with the same thing, but the color was blue and the design was also different. It was their first time seeing such magic rune. In fact , there was nothing human about his eyes.

Their hearts were fiercely shaken just by the single glance from the youth.

Just what kind of gaze was this!

Forget about the assassination. At this moment , they only had on thought.

Run!!!!!

Run as far away from this youth. They didn't care about the soul Essence Crystal anymore as they had lost their will to fight. Aside from his scary and none-human eyes, they found out something even more shocking about that ten years old child. That earth shaking news was enough to make to seven righteous sects , the four evil sects as well as the three Great Empire to form an alliance and eradicate the Heavenly demon sect if it were to be known. They didn't know how or when but they found that the little devil had already broken through the Martial Sovereign Realm due to his spiritual pressure that he didn't even bother to hide. A Martial Sovereign was already a top class warrior but a ten years old martial sovereign, they didn't even dare to imagine the ruckus it would cause.
