2025-01-01 16:41:47His weapon was an umbrella, an extremely deadly weapon. When the umbrella was opened, thirteen razor-sharp swords would appear, tearing the opponent's body to pieces.
Once upon a time, the Umbrella Demon disappeared from the martial world. It was rumored that he was ganged up on by eight straight sect leaders.
The Umbrella Demon disappeared, and the leaders of the eight sects never appeared before the people of the martial world again. "It is said that in that unequal battle, the eight sect leaders were injured by the deadly thirteen-eyed demon umbrella weapon!"
That's how it was discussed in crowded places, stalls, and taverns and heard over and over again fifty years ago. Unfortunately, today, the story of the Umbrella Demon and the eight white sect leaders is no longer heard.
Gradually, people began to realize who the Umbrella Demon was, the much-feared black sect demon kingpin.
Back into the cave in the ravine behind the Wudang Sect.
"Little one... If I told you that I'm a figure from the black sect, would you believe me?"
Eadric Rong looked at the older man repeatedly. Then he nodded. "It might be believed that you are a figure of the famous black sect. Please tell me your name," Eadric Rong said, acting like an adult.
The older man burst out laughing again. "This little fool doesn't know who he's talking to," Kyron Mo thought.
He deliberately said his name slowly, hoping that Eadric Rong would be surprised.
"My name is Kyron Mo! Have you heard?"
Kyron Mo hoped that Eadric Rong would cry out in fear, at least be surprised, and step back. However, he encountered disappointment.
The little boy shook his head innocently. "Kyron Mo? I've never heard that name. Can you mention any nicknames or other designations of your name?"
Kyron Mo almost vomited blood. That little boy would have run away in terror if this had happened fifty years ago. Feeling curious, he mentioned his nickname.
"Umbrella Demon! That's my nickname. Have you heard?"
Instead of the look of fear or praise that the little boy threw, Eadric Rong laughed.
"What kind of nickname is that? Umbrella Demon? Why don't you pick another name that sounds scary or cruel?" Eadric Rong continued to laugh.
Kyron Mo's face turned ugly.
In his heart, he thought sadly. "Time passes very quickly. The Umbrella Demon that was so dominating is now nothing more than a laughing stock. I'd better pass all my skills to this boy before I die."
At the moment when Eadric Rong was still laughing, he felt that an invisible force sucked his body.
"I'm dead! I seem to have angered the old man," he complained.
The older man's grip felt tight around his neck.
Panicked, he asked, "Elder, what are you doing?" Eadric Rong's voice broke.
Laughing coldly, Kyron Mo said, "You want to acquire Energy Pearls, don't you? Today, let me give you my Energy Pearl!"
Kyron Mo then laughed out loud. The sharp nails scraped Eadric Rong's stomach, a gaping wound... Eadric Rong grew more frightened.
"What are you doing? Please don't hurt me..."
The older man had no mercy.
Fiercely, he said, "Don't be a crybaby! I will transfer my Energy Pearl to you. But you must remember, this is the Energy Pearl of a black cult leader. You must promise to lead the black sect and attack the white sect in the future!"
"I don't want to. Let me go!" Eadric Rong was angry.
Kyron Mo slapped Eadric Rong's face, causing the boy to fall unconscious. He then performed spiritual surgery unreasonably, taking out his own Energy Pearl and transferring it into Eadric Rong's dantian core.
The space of the cave immediately smelled rancid. Blood was splattered everywhere.
When Kyron Mo finished with the spiritual surgery, his face paled. He fell with a blank look. However, he could still hear him softly say.
"Congratulations to our black sect. Today, a black sect kingpin has been born, an incarnation of... Demonic Umbrella Grandfather!"
After that, Kyron Mo fell asleep, never to wake up again. The apparitions in the cave at that time were terrifying.
A deformed older man was sleeping with a pale face. Blood pooled all over the cave.
Meanwhile, the little boy looked asleep with an innocent face, not knowing a miracle had just happened. Eadric Rong already had a Pearl Core!

Eadric Rong's entire vision became blurry as he opened his eyes."Where am I? What happened?"This incident felt like deja vu. Fainting, then waking up, so repeatedly.However, this time, Eadric Rong woke up in a dark cave. Another difference was that it was already night.Moonlight entered through the cave door, providing minimal illumination."Lighters!" whispered Eadric Rong. "I have to make a torch!"As an outer court student who also worked in the kitchen, Eadric Rong always carried a lighter. Before long, he was seen blowing on it, and the lighter was lit.With a joyful heart, Eadric Rong lit a fire on a piece of wood containing resin, a kind of flammable sap.When the fire had illuminated the cave, his face immediately paled."Demon Umbrella Elder? What happened?" Subconsciously, he took a few steps back, unable to watch the figure die with a pool of blood around him. A rancid odor stabbed into his nostrils, making the boy almost vomit.Eadric Rong rushed out of the cave to get

In this Lotus Continent, the only world leader is the ruling dynasty, the Xiaoyao Dynasty.In the Xiaoyao Dynasty, there were six major kingdoms in power: the Jinxiu Kingdom, the Yuechuan Kingdom, the Bicao Kingdom, the Qiongyu Kingdom, the Xingchen Kingdom, and the Zhenhua Kingdom.Everyone was really into martial arts and sword skills throughout the Lotus Continent. The famous principle is that if you are strong, you are in the spotlight and gain the world stage. Being weak? There will be no place for a weak person.

Remember this message: Practitioners who can practice sword techniques and use this demonic umbrella weapon must have a minimum of bare-bone talent—also, the minimum cultivation of a Fire Peacock Swordsman. If you deny it, then death will be your portion. Remember this message!"Before you practice the demon umbrella swordsmanship, swear to find out who caused my accident, banishment, and imprisonment in the depths of this abyss in a disfigured state! My spirit will not rest if you do not avenge me!"Eadric Rong paused, then thought."Learning this relic technique from Elder Kyron Mo, I consider it harmless. After all, now that I think about it, wasn't he the one who bestowed the Pearl Core so that I could cultivate like a normal person? Why should I reject this legacy?"After all, wasn't this grudge decades ago? How could the people who committed crimes against me because of this old age still be alive?Thinking to that point, Eadric Rong immediately knelt and said the oath.He did n

The child stood at the edge of a cliff in the Wudang Sect Bamboo Forest.A feeling of emotion swept through his chest when he finally saw a familiar and longed-for sight again after several days of living at the bottom of the ravine."The settlement of outer court disciples and worker disciples is what I've missed the most," Eadric Rong thought happily.How could it not be? He who had thought he would die, buried forever at the bottom of the abyss, was now given the grace by Heaven to see the Wudang Sect again, even though this was the most seedy part of the Sect."Chef Aldin Dong will be angry with me if I don't work in the kitchen today. He will probably report me to the elders who specialize in disciples who are considered worker disciples, and I could be expelled from the Sect."Thinking of that, Eadric Rong immediately ran in fear towards the Sect's kitchen.Since childhood, Eadric Rong had lived in the Wudang Sect as a disciple of the workers. He didn't know the world outside of

Eadric Rong was just about to blend in, helping the other workers when Kitchen Chief Aldin Dong's voice suddenly rang out. He mentioned Eadric Rong's name."Eadric Rong... Little boy, don't you want to tell me something?"While speaking, Aldin Dong's hands and face did not look away from the stir-fried vegetables.Eadric Rong's face paled.He hurriedly approached Aldin Dong, put on a guilty face, and began to explain."Kitchen Chief Aldin Dong, I'm sorry I've been unable to work these past few days. I..."Aldin Dong's hands continued to stir the ingredients in front of him. White smoke and the fragrance of garlic mixed with vegetables spread through the nose while Eadric Rong tried to resist the temptation of hunger. For a few days at the bottom of the ravine, he had only eaten what he could, with the natural ingredients he found there."What's wrong with you?" Chef Aldin Dong's face suddenly became flat and expressionless, close to Eadric Rong's."I..." "I'm sick. Due to a mistake in
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Poor Vaelan Chen – PART I.
Eadric Rong was happy to be cutting down trees for timber in the Pine Forest at the foot of Wudang Mountain. What was once difficult, he now did with ease.He made a slashing motion using a woodcutter's cleaver while flowing pure air from his Pearl Core, and the goat-sized tree instantly fell.Joyful and radiant!"Once I have cultivation at the level of a Jade Tiger Swordsman, chopping wood becomes easier!"At that time, in the middle of the forest, Eadric Rong became increasingly aware of the benefits he would get after possessing the Pearl Core."If this is the case, there's no need to wait until midnight... I can finish this job quickly!"Eadric Rong instantly split the tree trunk into two large groups, shouldered the fuel resources, and climbed to Wudang Peak.+++Vaelan Chen is a court disciple cultivated at the level of a level three (peak) Crystal Dew Swordsman. A level that will soon increase to Jade Tiger Swordsman.As we know, the Lotus Continent has seven cultivation levels
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Poor Vaelan Chen – PART II.
Wondering because he was unfamiliar with Vaelan Chen, Eadric Rong felt this haughty-looking kid was acting too far-fetched. There are thousands of disciples in the Wudang Sect. And the genius category disciples number more than 500.This Vaelan Chen doesn't stand out, so Eadric Rong had no idea who he was."Excuse me, big brother. Let me pass this way." Eadric Rong's voice sounded polite.But Vaelan Chen remained silent. Instead, he chuckled for no reason, as if he hadn't heard Eadric Rong's voice."Brother, please step aside. The head chef is waiting for me for these two bundles of firewood," Eadric Rong said, still in a low tone.The custom in the Wudang Sect is to address those of higher status as elder brothers. This moment shows that Eadric Rong is already humble by looking up to Vaelan Chen.Feeling recognized for his status by Eadric Rong, Vaelan Chen asked with his face held high, assuming Eadric Rong was an ant."So you're named Eadric Rong?" Vaelan Chen asked. He was still u
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Whirlwind Tread.
When it is not yet dark, the time, according to Shi Chen's period, is You—representing when chickens look for perches in the afternoon.But Eadric Rong quickly completed a task that should have taken a long time, estimating that midnight should be the time for a child of his age with no cultivation ability.But what a surprise. He completed cutting down a tree the size of a goat's body and carried it in two piles to the sect kitchen ten times.Aldin Dong's face turned into complete shock. "What's wrong with this kid?" Aldin Dong wondered. "Did someone help him? Who helped you?" asked Aldin Dong persistently.If he knew anyone was helping Eadric Rong, he would be furious. But his little heart whispered, "Isn't this kid friendless? Who would be willing to help him?" He breathed a sigh of relief. This accusation wasn't going to happen."Helping? Help what? I don't understand," Eadric Rong replied. His face was confused.Aldin Dong tried to scrutinize and read Eadric Rong's face. But ther

The soldier also announced in a stern tone, his voice no less loud than the man in the red robe."After the Young Dragon ranking list is issued by the Qingxue party, the Emperor cordially invites all young geniuses, ranked first to ten, to attend a banquet in the palace. On that occasion, the grand prize will be handed over directly by His Majesty!"Eadric Rong, who was already seated in the invited guest seat, not far from Ouyang Fai, returned his gaze to his new friend.He felt curious, wanting to know more about the organization that had just been mentioned. In a low voice, he asked Ouyang Fai who sat beside him, his voice barely audible in the din of the crowd."Brother Ouyang, what exactly is the Qingxue Organization?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes narrowing slightly, indicating how seriously he wanted to know.Ouyang Fai smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling as if he was enjoying the moment of sharing his knowledge."Qingxue Peak, a secret organization located on the highest peak of
Hundred Swords, One Victor.
However, in the face of such ferocity, Eadric Rong remained calm, even looking like an immovable iceberg. With a subtle yet determined gesture, he pulled out the rombengan sword from the umbrella he always carried with him."Ferris Wheel Sword!" he exclaimed, with a tone that echoed throughout the arena.In an instant, an enormous energy containing the power of Sword Intention shot out from the sword sweep in Eadric Rong's hand.The energy seemed to split the air, forming a giant screen that emitted a deadly aura. From that screen, a hundred shadow swords were created, shooting out at lightning speed.Some of the swords formed a solid fortress of defense, while others attacked relentlessly, piercing the air with a loud roar, targeting the sweeping waves of the Ocean Rattling Fan launched by Bao Xuan.TRANG - TRANG! The sound of the clash rang out loudly, like the clanking of metals engaged in a deadly battle.Bao Xuan tried to shield himself with his fan, but the hundred sword energie
Fan Meets Hidden Master.
Bao Xuan paused at one of the steps, his gaze fixed on a soldier in armor sitting tall on the saddle of a Flying Horse—Suiji Ma. With a haughty wave of his hand, Bao Xuan called out to the soldier, as if he were a master giving orders to his subordinates."Lord rider Suiji Ma, let's quickly bring here the grand prize, Zhen Long Pill. I've won, why are you holding it back and sitting back waiting for the order to give the prize?" Bao Xuan's tone contained mockery, without a trace of respect.Bao Xuan's rude and arrogant attitude was clearly disrespectful to the Jin Shuang Empire. He had just won a competition against the geniuses of this country, yet behaved as if he was the leader of the martial world.The anger in the audience grew, like a fire doused in oil, and curse after curse came out of their mouths, venting their deep dislike for Bao Xuan.However, Bao Xuan simply laughed at their reactions. A cold laugh that shook the air, as if he thought the entire world was just a toy in h
Contempt Before the Storm.
Bao Xuan's words were truly hurtful, scratching the pride of everyone who heard them. The faces around began to turn red, anger creeping through the crowd, yet no one dared to step forward.Among them, there were old heroes, respected leaders of major sects, but they were silent.The martial world has its own rules—young people's affairs and conflicts should not be interfered with by their elders. After all, this Dragon Competition was the brainchild of the Empire, a venue to recruit new blood that would strengthen the prestige of the Jin Shuang Empire in the eyes of the Longhai Continent world.However, Bao Xuan looked more and more haughty, overconfidence exuding from his every move.When he realized that no one was speaking out against him, and no young men dared to take the stage to challenge him, Bao Xuan began to speak more than he should."Brothers of the Jin Shuang Empire martial world, I Bao Xuan, a wandering cultivator, have humbly come all the way from the Tian Yun Empire j
When Palms Meet the Fan,
Most put down as much as 50 gold tails for Zhou Wen's victory, believing that the young genius was invincible. However, with a faint smile, Eadric Rong put down some money for Bao Xuan's victory.The reproachful stares of bystanders did not shake his confidence. He just shrugged casually and said,"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if the whole city was betting on Zhou Wen's victory? Why don't we make it a little more balanced?"That answer, in a tone full of common sense, made several people who heard it nod in agreement.Some of those with more money eventually decided to follow Eadric Rong's lead, placing bets on Bao Xuan's victory, although the number in favor of Zhou Wen remained far greater.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.The morning sun emerged from behind the horizon, its faint rays trying to penetrate the chill of the season, as if to give a little warmth to the sprawling Imperial grounds.The morning air was still lingering with coolness, creating a light mist that shro
The Arena Holds Its Breath.
This thought made his heart beat hard. If true, wouldn't this mean that there were more intruders from the Tian Yu Empire among them, who mingled with the locals undetected?However, although his gaze scanned every corner of the crowd, Ouyang Fai did not find anyone suspicious. The anxiety in his heart slowly turned into deeper worry when his attention returned to the stage.There, a fierce battle was taking place. Bao Xuan faced off against Fang Rui, the number two genius of the Golden Sword Sect.Fang Rui, with his lightning-sharp sword, created a golden-colored energy scroll that spun at the speed of a hurricane.Each of Fang Rui's attacks was a deliberate attempt to penetrate Bao Xuan's defenses, which stood firm as a rock, protected by the Ocean Troubler Fan Style.Meanwhile, Fang Rui's demeanor showed great vigilance. His eyes kept an eye on Bao Xuan's left hand, knowing how deadly the Eight Hand God Style hidden there was.At first, the battle seemed evenly matched, two geniuse
The Secret Behind Bao Xuan.
On the other hand, with his right hand, Bao Xuan spread his fan wide.SWING!The fan spun gracefully, emitting a rumbling sound similar to a raging ocean wave, as if bringing terror from the depths of the sea. The sound made the hairs stand up, and the vibrations were felt all the way to the bone.Suddenly, an invisible wall appeared before Bao Xuan, blocking dozens of Li Yong's sword thrusts that had previously seemed unstoppable.TRANG - TRANG - TRANG!The sound of the sword clashing with the energy wall was loud, deafening. Sparks ignited in the air, filling the atmosphere with a mesmerizing and thrilling sparkle.On the other hand, Li Yong's hands shook violently, almost losing his grip on his sword. Fear began to creep into his heart when he realized, "Bao Xuan's true energy power is far above mine!"Li Yong's face instantly paled, the realization of the opponent's greatness coming too late. However, the opportunity to retreat or defend was already tightly closed.Bao Xuan, calml
Victory’s Edge, Fate’s Turn.
"Long live Li Yong!" "Long live Xue Hua Academy!" "Cultivator Jin Shuang will definitely win!" "Get that intruder!"The thunderous cheers of thousands of spectators electrified the arena, relentlessly encouraging their hero, Li Yong. The voices were like an unstoppable ocean wave, filling the air with an energy that almost seemed to resonate in the chest of anyone who heard it.Amongst the roar, the sect leaders, both from the Four Star Sect to the Five Star Sect, only nodded slowly, as if victory was already entrenched in Li Yong's hands.Their gazes were full of confidence, as if there was no other possibility than the glory of Xue Hua Academy."Xuehua Academy is not a mere empty name! There's no way Li Yong can lose to that young man who's just a street cultivator like Bao Xuan!" Wang Yunzhong, the leader of Xuehua Academy, whispered softly.Although his voice was only a whisper, the true energy he used made his voice clearly audible throughout the main stage. His words cut through
Ten Moves for Glory.
"Isn't it possible that the Zhen Long pill, the grand prize we're after, will be brought in by an expert from the neighboring Empire. That would tarnish the face of all the cultivators of this country!" worried murmurs could be heard from various directions.Meanwhile, on the other side, the Five Star Sect seats that were filled with an aura of majesty seemed to flinch. Even so, dissatisfaction was clearly visible in their eyes. Everyone there was angry, though restrained themselves very well."Should I go forward?" Zhou Wen, the young genius of the Blue Sky Sect, asked quietly to his Sect Leader, Liang Tiancheng. The look in his eyes signaled his readiness to act."No need," Liang Tiancheng replied, his voice firm. "There are still four other Five Star Sects ranked below you. Stay in your seat, show your attitude as a supreme power holder."Zhou Wen nodded, accepting the order with humility. Although his desire to advance was strong, he still respected his leader's decision.With thi
