Chapter 06 Night Phantom White Fury Lion

= 4 Days Ago =

After everyone had their plan to meet at Blue Gale City, Zordick was the only one to hold off because he was still waiting for the opportunity to get a hold of the 1,000 years old [ Purple Azure Poison Orchid ].

“It seems like Eldest Brother was okay. I knew he wouldn't die, I knew he would survive. They’ll be meeting at the Blue Gale City, It’s a bit of a long journey from here, I need to find a good opportunity as soon as possible and meet with them. I want to see Eldest Senior Brother and check if he is fine.”

= Few Hours Later =

Zordick could not find a chance the whole morning and decided to sleep during the afternoon and woke up during the night.

“Just how much of a bad luck for this herb to grow on the den of the Cosmos Phase level beast.”

Zordick was just observing the Cosmos level beast, it have already notice his presence, the beast did not bother with Zordick because he isn’t doing anything to disturb his rest and his den. It was not until that night when Zordick noticed something, it was dark so he could not see it clearly but it seems like there was a small beast trying to go to the Cosmos beast’s nest. He could not care less about what would happen to it but he was afraid that if it anger the Cosmos beast the spiritual herb might get swept and get destroyed by the beast’s wrath.

Zordick hurriedly approached the small beast but it was already so far away and it was already near the Cosmos beast’s nest. Zordick rushed with his fastest speed but it caused the Cosmos Level beast to be alarmed of his presence and intent. He Beast got mad and let out a burst of energy, the small beast bravely rushed towards the Cosmos beast and grabbed the 1,000 Years Old [ Purple Azure Poison Orchid ]. The small beast got swept away by the outburst of energy and got heavily injured but still managed to protect the spiritual herb by curling his body on it.

Zordick spotted where the small beast landed and approached it as fast as he can, he intend on grabbing the spiritual herb and escape the forest himself. Upon arrival he noticed that the small beast was the same beast that was heavily injured that he treated while he was roaming the forest a few days ago. Zordick got conflicted, the beast was so pitiful and even after being injured it still gave Zordick the spiritual herb as if he knew he was aiming for it and as a payback for treating him before.

The Cosmos Level Beast was fast approaching, it let out a loud roar and made all the beast in the vicinity to follow it’s order to pursue Zordick and the small beast. Left with no choice, Zordick grabbed the small beast and the spiritual herb and begin running as fast as he could. Everywhere he ran there was a beast, he continued to run and escape until dawn where he found a cave leading underground. He patched the hole as fast and as normal as he could, to not give in their position. And that’s what lead them to their current place.

Zordick : “That’s what happened Eldest Brother.”

Luo Kai : “Then how did you avoid those mole beast?”

Zordick : “I have a technique that can conceal my breath and presence for a span of time, I used it to arrive here without alarming them.”

Luo Kai : “You’re lucky that there was no Intelligent Beast on the area, or we might be collecting your corpse, if there is any left.”

Zordick : “Most of the beast in the vicinity are weak but there are too many of them it’s unavoidable to engage in battle while running from them.”

Luo Kai : “So, where is this beast? Is it alive?”

Zordick : “I hid it deeper in the hole that I am in, I think it’s still alive. Brother can you save it?”

Luo Kai : “Depending on it’s condition, I might have a way.”

Zordick told Xingye to pick the beast, he directed him on the direction and exact location of the small beast. A bit later Xingye got back holding the small beast. Everyone was just looking at it normally, only Luo Kai was the most surprised.

Zordick : “Eldest brother? Are you alright? We keep calling you but you seemed out of this world.”

Luo Kai : “Ahemm. Don’t mind me. Zordick, do you want me to heal that beast?”

Zordick : “If Eldest Brother can heal it, you can count it as I owed you my life. I feel like this little guy and I share some fate. I want to raise it to return the favor for doing things for me.”

Luo Kai : “No need to go that far, that’s only what an eldest need to do for his little brothers.”

Zordick used the Soul Contract Talisman that Luo Kai gave him. He felt a little painful and hot inside as if some electricity filled his body for a short while.

Zordick : “It seemed to be done, I don’t feel hot anymore.”

Luo Kai : “It seems like this beast should be more than what you could handle at the moment, have it not been weakened to that state, you could have been burned to ashes.”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Luo Kai : “I’ll treat this little guy a moment, you can rest and regain your strength, the moment we step out of this place, the Cosmos beast might go for us.”

“All right, we look pretty good. Unless the Cosmos Phase Level beast itself show-up, we can pretty much handle those low level beasts.”

Luo Kai : “Zordick, where is that thousand year old spiritual herb?”

Zordick : “Here brother, if you want it, I can give it to you.”

Luo Kai : “What use is that for me? I want you to consume that!”

Zordick was on the verge of consuming the spiritual herb, he was then smacked by Luo Kai.

Luo Kai : “What the hell do you think you’re doing!! Do you want to die?!”

Zordick : “But you said you want me to consume it?”

Luo Kai : “…………..”, “Nevermind! I want you to consume it and attain the [ 100 Poison Body ]. It’s much better than your [ Swift Dark Body ].

“!!!!!!!!!!”

Zordick : “Eldest Brother, how did you know about my Swift Dark body? I don’t remember telling it to anyone?”

Luo Kai : “…………………..”, “Who do you think I am? It’s an eldest’s duty to know a thing or two about his younger sibling!”

At that moment Zordick realized that there are more secrets their Eldest Senior Brother are hiding from them.

“Seems like Eldest Senior Brother is hiding a lot of things from us, but I trust that he won’t do anything that would ruin us. I trust him more than those people who only know how to kill.”

Zordick : “All right, If brother is confident about it then no more words are needed.”

Luo Kai : “I’m 82.7426% sure that I’ll succeed.”

Xingye : “You’re too precise with your estimate brother.”

“Well, that’s what Alpha told me. Can’t help it.”

Luo Kai : “Don’t worry, in-taking it alone right now will yield you a 82.7426% chance, that’s because you’re not in your best condition and the spiritual herb’s poison potency too much your state can handle. But if you rest and be on your most optimal condition coupled with some other herbs to help lessen the burden on your body and the potency of the poison, I can guarantee a 99.9654% success the remaining percent is just the possibility of you getting flustered and nervous amid the process.”

“.…………….”

Xingye : “That’s way too precise!”

Zordick : “If you explain it like that then I feel relieve.”

Luo Kai : “Alright, brace yourselves, we’ll get out of this hellhole now.”

Luo Kai and the gang headed to the direction where the entrance and also the only exit of the underground lies. He let Alpha scan the surrounding for beast and it did not disappoint him, there are a lot of beast roaming the vicinity, it seems that their battle underground gave some hint of their general location. But there was no sign of the Cosmos Level Beast within a mile radius distance.

Luo Kai : “It seems like the beasts knew we’re within this area, there are a lot of them here. It seems like fight is inevitable. Zordick are you in a condition to fight? We need all the hands we can get right now.”

Zordick : “Don’t worry brother, I’ve been itching to get back at those beasts for chasing me nonstop few days before!”

Luo Kai : “Good! Everyone prepare!”

Luo Kai opened the patched hole and everyone go on offensive and the beast swarmed……… away.

Barlock : “What? Why are they going away? Did Eldest Brother’s presence scare them that much?”

Luo Kai : “No, something’s weird!”

[ WARNING! ]

[ A Cosmos Phase Level Beast is fast approaching! ]

[ RETREAT! ]

[ RETR------- ]

Luo Kai : “SHIT!! EVERYONE RUN!! LEAVE THE FOREST AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!”

Orphius : “HOW ABOUT YOU BROTHER!”

Luo Kai : “JUST GOOOO!”

[ Lightless Blade Arts ]

Luo Kai used [ Lightless Blade Arts ] and blow a strong gale towards his brothers to give them a bit more momentum to escape. He himself tried to run towards the other direction away from the Cosmos Beast but it was already too late.

Bloodline : 75.9% Primordial Cosmic Lion [ SSS- ]

Discription : A White Fury Lion who managed to awaken his Ancient Bloodline and on the verge of ascending to it’s Ancient Divine Beast Bloodline.

[ Night Phantom White Fury Lion ]

An Ancient Beast who hunts pray during the night. Being a Lion, the king of the Jungle, it stand as the Apex predator wherever it goes.

The [ Night Phantom White Fury Lion ] appeared before Luo Kai. It was as tall as a 4 storey building. And is glaring at him looking down without lowering it’s head as if it was telling him that Luo Kai isn’t deserving to make the Lion bow down his head. It was even exerting pressure on Luo Kai testing him.

White Fury : “Child! Why did you let them go alone and decided to stay? Are you here to challenge this excellency?”

“The fuck is this oversized Lion saying? Who the hell in their right mind would come here just to challenge you? You have a huge head but a small brain aren’t you?”

Luo Kai : “You’re excellency is mistaken, it was hectic and we panicked. I let them go first and stayed behind as the Eldest Senior Brother.”

White Fury : “Young human, you have guts! You dare tell me that this King made a mistake?! YOU DARE?!”

The [ Night Phantom White Fury Lion ] let out a massive amount of energy that made the surrounding moisture evaporate making the nearby trees withered.

“This bitch! You’re not even a Monster King yet but you arrogantly refer yourself as a King!”

Luo Kai : “It was my mistake your excellency, how will I be forgiven?”

White Fury : “Receive one slap from this King, if you survive you’re free to go!”

“What the hell? Even receiving a flick from a Heaven Level master can endanger my life not to mention a slap from a Cosmos Level Beast! No matter how much intelligence this guys have, a beast will always be a beast!”

“Everyone below Axis Level will die receiving this slap, everyone except me that is. Luckily, I managed to roll a defensive artifact earlier, although it’s a waste to use a 1 time item here, staying alive is the priority. I just hope this beast won’t go back on his words.”

White Fury : “Why are you not answering? Do you not dare? Should I just kill you right now?”

Luo Kai : “I’ll agree to you’re excellency’s proposal. I'm just afraid that he will go back on his words.”

White Fury : “I swear on my Ancient Divine Beast Bloodline, that I’ll be true to my words!”

[ For Beasts Swearing on their bloodline is the highest form of promise, for beast their bloodline is their source of power, once they break this promise, they will never awaken their bloodline no matter how hard they try, it means that their growth would stop. ]

Luo Kai : “All right, let’s start then.”

Although White Fury said to block his attack he never intended to take it seriously, he was just testing and teasing Luo Kai at the same time. They never did any real harm to him so there was really no real reason to pursue them, although the thousand year old spiritual herb is valuable, there was no way White Fury lack those things for someone who have lived for tens of thousands of years. He was just bored and want some entertainment.

White Fury : “Brace yourself human child!”

White fury slapped Luo Kai, there was no real force in it. He just gather a bit of wind on his palm and pushed Luo Kai away making it seemed like he hit him hard.

Luo Kai on the on the other hand, seeing White Fury’s huge paw made him flustered, it was his first time facing someone who is many Phase higher than him. He immediately activated his defensive spell.

[ Activated x1 Golden Drum Barrier Formation ]

No dent was made to the formation, it was intact even after the impact, it looks still as good as new.

White Fury : “That brat, he activated some kind of barrier, when I made contact with it, it felt so strong. Even at my full power I don’t know if I can destroy it. What an interesting kid, he also looks calm all the time when we’re conversing. He even managed to activate a defensive spell despite being overwhelmed by me. I look forward to seeing him someday.”

White Fury thought that Luo Kai was calm all those time, had he know that if Alpha never electrocuted his brain he had already fell unconscious a few times due to fear and the pressure White Fury exerted over Luo Kai.

Luo Kai was intentionally slapped by White Fury in the same direction his friends was flying. The speed that he was thrown was fast enough to catch up to them in just half a day and he even outrun them.

= Orphius and others riding on a flying artifact =

Luo Kai : “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEEEEEELLLLPPPPPP TOOOOOO FAAAASSSSTTTTTT”

*Zoooooooooooomm

Zordick : “Isn’t that Eldest Senior Brother?”

Xingye : “He is! Fast we need to catch up to him!”

Orphius : “Impossible, he was too fast, My artifact is already at it’s fastest!”

Barlock : “Eldest Senior Brother is really amazing, he let us go first to distract the Cosmos beast but he managed to outrun us with his Golden colored flying artifact*.

*[ It was not a golden colored flying artifact it was actually the Golden Drum Barrier Formation, Luo Kai was too fast for them to see clearly.]

Everyone : “Indeed, Eldest Senior Brother is always amazing.”

= Meanwhile somewhere 50 miles away =

“Fuck that Lion, he slapped me so hard I flew so far away. I don’t even have a flying artifact. But this is a good time, I need to train, I’ll tell them to go ahead and I’ll catch up in months. Facing that Lion made me realize how weak I am, have I not rolled the barrier, I might have most likely died there.”

Luo Kai opened his Imperial Token.

[ Luo Kai ] : Brothers I’ll be travelling for a couple of months, I might not be able to contact you for some time. I want to attack Earth Phase within a year. I’ll be seeing you after a couple of months. Facing the Cosmos Beast made me realize how weak I am, I’ll be cultivating alone for some time. You guys should also not slack on your cultivation. Go to the location I’ve marked I left some pills there, it would be enough for you guys to breakthrough to Earth Phase. Goodbye.”

Orphius : “It seems like Eldest Brother decided to journey on his own. Eldest is already stronger than us, if we 4 fight him together, we might not win against him. We can’t slack off. Brother left us some supply we should head there and plan for our next course of action.”

The 4 of them headed to the location Luo Kai marked on the Imperial Token. It was buried in a tree and was inside a fabric. Inside are some Martial Arts Books each for them and 40 bottles of Mid grade pills together with 4 set of Mid Grade Qi Gathering Array. Luo Kai even left out a set of instruction on what to feed and how to train Zordick’s [ Purple Winged Tiger ] to improve the purity of it’s bloodline.

Orphius : “Eldest Brother have been taking good care of us. He even prepared this things on a short notice. This aren’t cheap at all. Even Grade 4 Sect can’t just take out 40 Mid Grade Pills and 4 Mid Grade Qi Gathering Arrays on a whim.”

Zordick : “Then, Second Brother, you are the oldest right now, you should decide how we will proceed.”

At that time, Orphius realized how much of a burden it is to decide for things. He would love the 4 of them to travel together, but Xingye can’t be taken with them without the approval of her father. But considering that they are just a group of 5 year old kids who just came out of their Coming of Age Ceremony there is no way Xingye’s father would agree to let her go with them. At the same time, Xingye might get mad at them if they travel without taking her. They didn’t know it before but Luo Kai’s ability on making decision made it smooth sailing for them. All they had to do is nod and all is good.

Orphius : “First we go to Blue Gale Sect first, Sect Master Klein must have been worried for Xingye, we’ve been away for days now.”

The four of them decided to head back to Blue Gale Sect first. Too much happened during the past few days and they decided to take a break for a couple of days. Though they are resting, they did not slack with their training and cultivation. They don’t want to be a burden for their eldest brother.
