Prologue - The Supreme Sage

Prologue - The Supreme Sage

There was a war in the ancient times, a war where life itself was at risk.

The Supreme Sage, a human self-proclaimed as God has taken over an especial Realm known as the Immortal Realm.

Thanks to this Realm, he was able to consolidate his power, an extraordinary strength capable of absolute destruction. He doesn't want to lose his position, anyone who opposes him or threatens his existence will find a terrible death.

It doesn't matter if it's a single person, a small village, an entire clan or a huge city, the Supreme Sage will bring chaos and destruction to eradicate any threat.

There are several dimensions known as Realms. They are different worlds with connections between them.

In the past, there was an alliance that defied the Supreme Sage. They couldn't defeat him but managed to cause him severe injuries.

He lost most of his power in the war, thanks to that, they were able to seal the Immortal Realm.

In the old days, some Spiritualists were capable of defying the Supreme Sage. There are some relics of unparalleled power left by these experts across the Realms.

Unfortunately, these relics were the origin of many wars. Greed was always responsible for these meaningless wars.

Powerful clans have many of these treasures while others are missing who knows where.

The same thing happened more than once, sealing the Immortal Realm was the only option because nobody could defeat the Supreme Sage. He needs to be weak to perform the seal. Otherwise, he could break it.

The Supreme Sage wasn't born with that power. He made his way through the years. His strength was improving with outstanding speed.

One day, he discovered the Immortal Realm where he was able to achieve the immortality he desired. This Realm is very especial because the Heavenly Energy there is unique.

This energy not only gave him immortality but also tremendously strengthened his power. From that day, he proclaimed himself as a Supreme God and wars started one after another.

His divinity is all he has. He will never allow anyone to take away his immortality.

The seal is only a temporary solution because once the Supreme Sage regains his full power, he can easily break it and wars will start once again.

He is the calamity of any living being, the ultimate enemy of life.

Vengeance goes from generation to generation, same as greed. There will never be real peace while the Supreme Sage is still breathing.

He assassinated many ancestors in cold blood, and it's hard to forget. Entire cities erased from the map, whole clans exterminated one by one, small villages with innocent people, all mercilessly murdered.

Anyone who stands in his path will suffer the same destiny. Because of this, forgetting the past is hard, and the only solution is to defeat the Supreme Sage.

Many are unaware of its existence. Some people even think it's an old legend until calamity arrives. After the war and the passing of the years, everything begins again.

The main reason is to avoid panic.

There is an evil sect known as the Dark Brotherhood. They worship the Supreme Sage.

They do the dirty work from the shadows, and they are very powerful. The location of its main base is unknown, but they have several houses distributed among the Realms.

Originally, this sect was created by the Supreme Sage. It's the reason why they have forbidden techniques and unusual methods when dealing with their objectives.

The Brotherhood thinks large populations are a significant threat. Whenever a new expert is born, its origin is one of the big cities.

Because of that, they try their best to destroy all the cities. They infiltrate among the high ranks and create political conflicts. Provoking wars between cities and controlling high-level Demon Beasts for massive invasions are part of their strategies.

From time to time, these attacks are caused naturally, while others are because of the Dark Brotherhood.

The cities have massive walls to protect their citizens and dozens of powerful clans who fight against the enemies.

Each invasion causes a lot of casualties because the spiritual power of the Demon Beasts is too high and they are not easy to kill. It's very hard to deal with the most powerful ones.

Not every Demon Beast is evil, a lot of them are friendly and not have the intention to harm anyone. At least, those who they don't consider as food.

One of the most important cities, Blue Sky City, was destroyed by the Dark Brotherhood. They were controlling a powerful Demon Beast who influenced many inferior Demon Beasts. Their number was overwhelming.

Nikolas Lightion was from this city, back in the days he wasn't very strong for various reasons. He didn't have the power to save his home, much less save the lives of his loved ones.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He saw with his own eyes how his friends, acquaintances and city comrades died one by one. Only a few were able to escape, and he was one of them.

Something similar happened in the past where his family died fighting a powerful Demon Beast in a massive invasion.

Because of this, his thirst for revenge against Demon Beasts grew bigger day after day. During his adventures through the Realms, he made some new friendships and was able to progress rapidly.

By achieving a certain level of cultivation, you can extend your life for hundreds of years. He became an expert in martial arts as an Elemental Spiritualist.

Investigating the origin of invasions, he managed to find valuable information. The truth behind most of the deadliest attacks from millions of Demon Beasts was simple. It was an act of the Dark Brotherhood.

Knowing this, his thirst for revenge went crazy. This evil sect was responsible for the death of his whole family, his clan, his friends and the entire city he called home.

He couldn't handle losing loved ones again in front of him anymore, so he became distant from everyone. He began to act on his own to avoid involving them in this matter. After all, going to war with the Dark Brotherhood was not going to be an easy task.

A dangerous journey, but he was fully trained to handle the situation.

He didn't find their secret base, but after a long time of searching, he found something. High-ranked members were performing a secret ritual in the wilderness.

This ritual is the one they use to control powerful Demon Beasts. Sadly for them, this technique consumes a significant amount of energy, and it takes too much time to complete.

For this reason, some of the high-ranked members must take care of this matter. They need to be close to the Demon Beast they want to control for it to take effect.

During the time it took to finish the ritual, Nikolas Lightion found them.

It was a challenging battle because he was fighting alone against many powerful Spiritualists. He almost lost his life.

He nearly exhausted all his energy but was able to achieve his primary objective, which was to kidnap a valuable member to interrogate him.

They have a special seal which is activated when someone speaks of subjects that can't be said.

It's a forbidden technique, and it's necessary for them to avoid relevant information going out. Nobody can become a member without it.

Nikolas Lightion was an inscription master, he was able to break it, and then he sent him to a secondary Realm where was imprisoned. With the help of other people and the use of forbidden techniques, they stole the information needed.

It was then when he learned about the Supreme Sage, and before his eyes, a new threat appeared. The Dark Brotherhood was only a shadow of this supreme expert. He also got information about the relics, which he thought were just old legends.

The actual responsible was this divine person. He discovered that the legends were not just stories, they were real.

Shortly afterward, the Supreme Sage was able to regain his full power, breaking the seal that imprisoned him. He found new threats and started the massive destruction again. Realm after Realm, they all succumbed to his power.

Once again, he saw with his own eyes the close people to him dying without him being able to do anything about it.

The only option was to flee, an entire life or running, hiding and leaving hope behind.

This feeling became so intense that shattered him from inside. At one point he suppressed his feelings and became a cold person.

All to avoid the internal suffering that did not let him live.

There was no time to waste anymore. Nikolas Lightion didn't know where the relics were to help him fight the Supreme Sage.

He trained day after day without rest to challenge the Supreme Sage. At some point, he noticed him for reaching a certain level of cultivation. It was already a threat to him.

Knowing this, he went to the Immortal Realm to fight him. Instead of being chased he chose to go straight to him.

Even knowing his few possibilities, he had no other options. He could not longer train or find the legendary relics. Everything hung on a thread.

At this time in history, nobody else could face him to weaken his power and recreate the seals again.

In the old days, the Realms did their best to seal him after lessen his strength. The seals can't work if he's in his prime.

His thirst for overwhelming revenge was out of control. There was nothing that could stop him. The fight was imminent.

Once he met face to face with the Supreme Sage, he quickly realized he was no match for him.

His power was from another world. He thought nobody would be able to defeat him when his strength is at 100%.

Even so, he was able to give him a good fight. Nikolas Lightion received compliments from the Supreme Sage. In its thousands of years of life, he never found someone who can face him at that level.

In the past, there was always a few Spiritualists facing the Supreme Sage at the same time, creating better chances of succeeding when trying to weaken it.

At the same time, others were in charge of making the seals.

To get immortality not only was needed to enter the Immortal Realm, but it was also necessary to be there for quite a while, training and absorbing the Spiritual Energy from that place.

It was impossible to cultivate while fighting at the same time. Nobody was able to get the immortality. Even if you do, your body will not regenerate, and you will die unless you're the master of the Immortal Realm. That's the benefit of being the master of such a Realm because your body will regenerate if destroyed.

The only way to defeat the Supreme Sage is not as simple as having more spiritual power, taking his immortality away is needed. To do so, someone must steal his supremacy as the Realm master.

In reality, to be the master of the Immortal Realm, it's necessary to control the Spiritual Energy located there. Only one person can rule this Realm.

Someone must steal his immortality to defeat him once it for all. Even so, it must be defeated. That is the reason why the Supreme Sage is invincible.

It doesn't matter if someone can defeat him without being the master of the Immortal Realm because he's going to regenerate his body and power soon or later.

He rarely fought in the Immortal Realm. The Supreme Sage was very cautious with his actions. He created great seals so that no one but himself could enter this valuable Realm while he was somewhere else.

Most of the fights were carried out in the other Realms, at least when no one was able to break the seals and threaten his territory.

Nikolas Lightion fought alone against the Supreme Sage and some heavenly creatures under the control of the Realm master.

After all, he managed to cause serious injuries to the Supreme Sage. Every time he regained his power again, he became more and more dominant, and because of that, it was very tough to fight against him.

That was the main reason behind the compliments from the Supreme Sage to Nikolas Lightion. He fought alone, hand to hand with him. Being able to compete with him in his current state it was something respectable and admirable.

Despite this feat, Nikolas Lightion didn't know if there was anyone alive to recreate the seals for the Immortal Realm. There was only hope that his sacrifice would not be in vain.

On the verge of death, he started to regret everything in his life, not being able to protect anyone and fall in front of the Supreme Sage. A strong desire to change everything begin to overwhelm his soul.

Just one chance, one more chance to reverse the destiny of everyone!
