As Lucifer was entering the planet, the elders of the Angel’s Justice Sect were helpless on the ground. Their cultivation base had been drained, the sect leader was away chasing Bao Gang. And towering over them was a measly xiantian cultivator, grinning wickedly. If they were at their peak, they could crush the xiantian cultivator with a single finger, but now that they had lost their cultivation, they were helpless.

One of the elders said, “Shinso! Warn the sect that Lucifer is much more terrifying than we expected. He has learned new abilities which make him dangerous to the entire sect! As soon as his cultivation increases, he will be terrifying.” The elder began slurring his words and his head drooped to the ground just as his heart stopped beating.

“Hurry and get help from the sect! We might be able to restore our cultivation!” Another said.

A glint appeared in Shinso’s eye, “You all lost your cultivation? And will be able to restore it if you get help from the sect?”

By this time all of the elders except the relatively young ones had died.

“Quit asking useless questions! We need help!” This implied confirmation was all that Shinso needed.

Shinso disappeared, soon reaching the sect.

“Disciples of Angel’s Justice sect! Our elders have been killed by Lucifer! Quickly alert the guardians!”

Back at the clearing, even the relatively younger elders were on the ground, but now they were all lying in a pool of blood, beheaded by Shinso.

Shinso pulled out a jade slip, and through his spiritual sense, thought “HAH! Those old fogeys of the Angel’s Justice sect are gone now. Lucifer weakened them and I killed them. Only the guardians are left”

Surprisingly, through the jade slip, Shinso heard a reply, “We will prepare for war.”

Shinso was the highest ranked core disciple, at the peak of xiantian realm. He joined the sect at the age of 10 and within 30 years went from an unknown disciple to the strongest disciple in the sect. In fact, if he were to break through to the liquid core realm, he would become an elder. Not only that, he was considered a genius among his peers, having the battle prowess to defeat those three levels of cultivation higher. He could even fight with some of the elders in the lower levels of liquid core realm. The higher ups of the sect put large amounts of resources and teaching towards him in the hopes that he might one day become a hall master or even the sect leader. He was believed by many to be at the peak of life, above millions, under just a few. But, he was also a spy for the Demon’s Descent sect, a sect which had repeatedly clashed with the Angel’s Justice sect.

Unluckily for Bao Gang, all the blame for the killing of elders fell on his head, and provoked hatred from every Angel’s Justice Sect disciple, making it that much harder to hide.

He was already furiously fleeing from the sectmaster, having lost much of his body.

“I need to take over the body of a disciple if I want to be able to do anything on this planet without worrying about being hunted,” he thought.

At that moment, he saw a child lying in a pool of blood and flesh. A horde of giant rats covering him, gnawing at his body, with disgusting scratching noises and the sick squealing of excited rats. The rats were much larger than rats on Earth, about twice the height, and clearly more vicious. Their chomping could even break bones! This change was clearly the result of the animals ability to cultivate.

Bao Gang quickly gathered the God’s blood in the nearby area, knowing that the sectmaster was off miles away chasing after a different portion of his body, and using this blood, struck at the rats. It was more of a habit than anything else, not to mention the revulsion he had towards the rats.

As the blood hit the rats, it attached to their fur and flesh and began absorbing the spiritual energy which they had gathered. They were also sent flying by the force of the attack. Many rats only stopped when they hit rocks or tree trunks, and as they had lost their spiritual energy, many were rapidly beginning to show the signs of aging.

The rats became dried, withered husks, and as Bao Gang began to recall the God’s blood, he once again found he could not control it.

The blood rapidly gathered together, forming a body, but he could not move. SPiritual energy and law fragments began gathering into a whirlpool, and coalescing into a liquid--A deathly black drop of viscous liquid which began floating towards him. It forcibly entered his body, and spread out to every single golden sparkle, turning them a shade darker.

It left him noticeably less golden, but he had the feeling of being multiple times stronger.

After the black liquid was absorbed into his body, he found he could move again, and so he flew towards the corpse of the child.

Drawing spiritual energy from the air, he infused it into the boy’s body, the same way he had done when he was cultivating in the body tempering realm. This caused the different parts of the boy’s body to be rapidly destroyed and reconstructed, but after each cycle, the injuries on the boy became lesser and lesser. Of course, this could not bring the boy back to life, but it could heal his body.

Then Bao Gang drew his God’s blood into the veins and arteries of the boy, leaving just a drop which entered the boy’s head through the glabella(space between brows).

With the boy’s soul gone, he would be able to use the body as cover. From the empty soul space within the boy’s head, he would be able to use the boy’s senses, and he could imitate signs of life and control the body through the God’s blood which had entered the boy’s bloodstream.

“I need to infiltrate the sect in order to regain my God’s blood, plus I will be able to learn new techniques,” he thought.

He had learned some techniques in the Immortal Mountain Sect, but he had largely forgotten them when he had destroyed much of his soul sea, because he had only recently learned them.

And so, the “Lucifer” who everyone was chasing, and the true Lucifer were heading towards the Angel’s Justice sect--and so was the Demon’s Descent sect. None with good intentions.
