Celestial Peak

Chapter 453: Revenants

Wang Ling, could still feel his body aching. He looked at the kneeling Roan, he took a few steps and stood before the Devil who laid his hands on the All-Father. Roan could feel it, the instinctual guilt, the desire to tear himself apart to make amends of hurting the All-Father.

He attacked the All-Father, the one who created their very Race, the God who rule over their very existence. Roan did it for the All-Father, he wanted to help him, he controlled his fist, his strength was calculated and it should have only inconvenienced the All-Father at the worst-case scenario.

Stab!

Blood spurted from Roan's shoulder as his own fingers dug his flesh. 

Logic entailed he did nothing wrong and actually helped the All-Father, but, after realization came to him, he could tell that he was wrong. Gut wrenching, painful, irritability, it made him want to cry out! 

His body was burning, his soul wrenching, yet, he held a smile. Because this pain, this uncomfortable feeling, this incorrigible sensation was the proof of his existence, the proof of the immaculate being that was the All-Fatherthus, he smiled. 

He celebrated, then he cried.

Tears fell, emotion welled up, as he cried out, "I welcome the All-Father's return!" he announced Wang Ling's arrival, shaking the forest yet insolated by Yuan Ming to only be heard around them. 

"Stop what you are doing, close that self-inflicted wound, we will talk once we get out of this World. Also, this time, you wouldn't ask for a ticket, would you?" 

Roan vehemently shook his head remembering his first encounter with Wang Ling. Once more, his heart thumped wildly, and thenSTAB*he ripped apart his other shoulder, blood flowed like river, but none of the people in the vicinity reacted too much.

All of them were too used in seeing blood. They also knew that he could heal without a problem, thus their disregard. Roan's pain, however, was very much noted seeing how much a Devil, one of the two Primordial Races would do to themselves if they somehow did something to antagonize the All-Father.

To the twins they could relate, for just like them, they too would do something to such a degree or worst if they were to even hurt a single hair from the Mother of Beasts. To Chang Ping however, she was taken aback as she had seen Devils before, and all of them were prideful and strong without match.

None of them resembled Roan, who now looked meek and pitiful.

Wang Ling sighed once more, "I told you to stop, did I not?" his words carried weight. He was not angry, only disappointed, or so Roan could observe from that gaze of his.

"If you really want to show how sorry you are, then open a direct Spatial Tear to your Cosmic Sailer, we need to move before the old fogeys decide to act nice." Wang Ling instructed and then, as he wiped the tears out of his face, Roan did what was said.

The prideful Devil heeded the All-Father's commands without saying anything back. With his bare hands he stuck his hand out into the air and ripped it apart to create a silvery flowing almond shaped portal.

"All-Father, I have finished." Roan said with respect. Wang Ling looked at him and first had the others step into the Portal.

Chang Ping was the first to leave through the portal, the next were Yuan Qing with Qinyang in hand and then Yuan Ming if she wasn't stopped by Wang Ling, "What is it?" she asked in a cold tone.

"At least finish what you and Roan started." Wang Ling stated, pointing at some general direction, "There would suffice."

Yuan Ming sighed, but she did not say anything anymore as she did not want to incur the wrath of the Devil Roan. She clapped her hands and called upon a black cloud of smoke, she molded the smoke, forming a makeshift spear.

When Roan saw this, he too picked up what Wang Ling was trying to insinuate and he too clapped his hands to perfectly manipulate his qi. Devils, like the Holy Race like him, have two qi, pure spirit qi, and the Devil Qi. The almost invisible pure spirit qi was molded into a spear.

They both laced the spears with killing intent before throwing it to the left three kilometers away from where there was no living presence or so they wished to believe.

The energy spears moved with high speed and intensity and watching them move like so already made Wang Ling shrug his shoulders, "That should do it." Saying such words as he entered the Portal, the two followed him soon after.

Silence prevailed for a few minutes until the two-energy collided and created a massive explosion of Darkness Qi and Spirit Qi. 

BOOM!

Suffocating amount of killing intent exploded and washed the lands. When the billowing smoke cleared all that was left was nothing but rubbles and a giant crater. 

For days, the fight between two young experts would shock the entire Silver Blade World and the surrounding Worlds. The Sword Tower did not issue any reaction towards the fight despite their obvious connection.

Though weird, it was understandable as the Sword Tower would often not say anything about their exploits, unless it relates to the major victories and defeats to the Abyssal Demons.

Three days later, however, another news would surface. 

What would be known as the Massacre of the Flower Tomb would shock the Universe. Many prominent families would grieve for the loss of their geniuses and the search for the killers began.

Three weeks later, the Cosmic Eye Tower, the ones tasked with collecting information all over the Universe would issue shocking news.

[The Revival of the Great Ancestor as an enemy has come to be.]

Upon the dissemination of this knowledge, the Impostors would be further named as [Revenants].

A sketch of the Revenants reached every corner of the Universe in a matter of weeks and the image of Wang Ling's previous form appeared. The Lowest Worlds that was in the state of Chaos would receive the news and wouldn't pay it much heed as such news would not do much with their current situation.

With the Crimson Snow Sect's rise to prominence, the Lowest Worlds were already ahead of cleaning up the unwanted scourge.

As the Crimson Snow Sect prepared itself to fully clean its main world from the Abyssal Demons, the Towers were quickly helping the Factions scattered throughout the Universe into killing the Revenants.

But while the Towers were doing all this, the Primordial Races remained the same in their stance, the Two Blaze God Beasts would start showing movements. 

However, it was not all just bad news as, amidst the tragedy happening all over the Universe and the loss of many geniuses and prodigies at the Massacre of the Flower Tomb, after 175 Years the 10 Great Families, issued the [Regal Gods Congregation].

In the Origin World, the Ten Great Families, the Seven Towers, the Three Immortal Sects would gather.

And as the Sword Tower was one of the groups to attend, thus, somewhere in the Universe, holding a Jade Plaque was the Almighty Sword of the Heaven Hell Sword Tower Chang Ping,

Next to her, was Wang Ling, smiling with interest in the matter of the Origin World.
