Kieroin was deep in thought as he flew through the sky, pondering, *How strong are they going to be this time?* He soon reached a grim scene: the kid's grandfather was tied up, prepared to be sacrificed to the demon lord. Kieroin's resolve hardened. "THAT WON'T HAPPEN ON MY WATCH!" he shouted, though his voice went unheard. As soon as he made that declaration, an overwhelming surge of energy coursed through him—his cultivation skyrocketed. The forces of the Immortal Body Spirit, Earth Spirit, Fire Spirit, and Wind Spirit merged within him.
The guards, fierce warriors known for their brutality, looked on in disbelief. "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! He's not just human; he's a god!" Kieroin smirked at the title. "A god, huh? I like that name." He turned his attention to the guards with fierce determination. "Untie my grandfather from there, and I'll let you live."
The guards exchanged glances among themselves, hesitant but ultimately complying. "Okay, we'll do as you say." They quickly untied Kieroin's grandfather, who looked relieved yet bewildered.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Are we free to leave now?" one of the guards asked, his voice lacking confidence.
"LIKE HELL!" Kieroin roared as he unleashed his newfound powers. In a flurry of movements, he annihilated the guards, their screams echoing before being swallowed by silence.
With a wave of his hand, Kieroin activated a teleportation spirit that transported his grandfather back to their sect, the "Black Dragon Sect." After ensuring his grandfather's safety, Kieroin flew back into the palace, where he encountered familiar faces: An Lin, Zuo Zao, and Shxu Ke.
Kieroin's mind raced. *So, An Lin is still alive... GOOD.* He felt a sense of relief wash over him, but it was soon replaced with a challenge.
"Eh, who is this with such low cultivation?" An Lin mocked, a sneer on his lips.
Kieroin laughed, a deep, confident laugh that echoed off the walls. "Low cultivation? HAHAHAHA!" He grinned and declared, "CULTIVATION SPIRIT ACTIVE!"
With those words, the atmosphere shifted. Energy crackled in the air, and the power of the spirits surged around him, ready to show everyone just how far he had come.
