2025-06-19 09:46:11When he recalled the excruciating pain he endured when he stabbed his nails into the corpse, as he obviously did not want to experience the same torment again, he hesitated.
After all, it engraved a deep trauma on him.
However, without the need for the mysterious voice to remind him, taking such a difficult challenge in exchange for power, Lu Zheng resolutely decided to take it.
He gazed at his hand and was surprised to see the sharp nails protruding out.
It was not like this before, as though it had just recently extended and sharpened.
It must have something to do with the mysterious voice.
He was about to admit the mysterious voice was his benefactor, but he quickly shook those thoughts away.
After all, how would he be able to have another benefactor when he had just been betrayed?
He would be crazy to trust again.
However, he had no choice.
He could only put trust in the mysterious voice, mysteriously appearing inside his body.
Hence, he slowly walked to another corpse and discovered his lacerated neck, where he cut it with a low-quality dagger.
He squatted beside him, taking a deep breath, as he stabbed his nails with a solemn countenance.
His heart palpitated, and he was sweating with bullets, facing the terror, slowly swallowing him after knowing the amount of pain that would devour him.
As expected, the wave of enormous torment consumed him, and he almost screamed in pain.
However, he had to hold back. He had to restrain his voice from alerting the person inside, so he covered his mouth with his other hand.
Veins began to pop up on his hand, slowly slithering until his whole body, even his face, as it pulsated, becoming bigger and bigger.
Lu Zheng accidentally saw it and was horrified, almost pulling his nails away from the corpse’s arm.
He managed to hold back, watching the veins becoming bigger helplessly.
Fortunately, it halted, but it still continued to pulse.
At the same time, he felt power overflowing inside him.
He wanted to test it, imagining even himself punching the wall not far from him, creating a crack that slithered above.
He felt it was domineering, as though he was invincible under the heavens, deluding himself he could take down even the head of the Scorching Blade Clan.
At this moment, he believed he could incur a massacre of an entire clan, finally exacting revenge.
As he thought of it, killing intent began to swallow his mind, his pupils becoming thinner and redder than before, appearing bloodthirsty.
Now, he appeared no more than different than a predatorial beast, more or less becoming the same appearance of the mysterious voice.
The mysterious voice, on the other hand, was amused by the change happening to Lu Zheng.
However, he closed his eyes, and a sigh echoed in the tranquil, eerie place.
He mumbled, “It appeared the tiny bit of my power overwhelms him. He is already losing control. He is really not suitable to practice my Blood Sovereign Spear Arts.”
The mysterious voice felt it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do.
Unless Lu Zheng could control it.
The mysterious voice’s crimson eyes watched another point of view, where it showed Lu Zheng’s face as he closed his eyes, and his face was swallowed by the dark.
It was unknown what he was thinking or even doing.
When it appeared again, a sigh echoed as he raised his emaciated arm and pointed his gaunt index finger with a yellow nail to the screen.
Suddenly, there was a red string of light piercing through Lu Zheng’s brain, and his facial expression slowly loosened.
He did not appear blood-thirsty before, and his thin, crimson eyes slowly expanded, but the color remained.
He appeared to have recovered his senses, having his face painted in shock.
Suddenly, he saw something in his peripheral vision, almost believing there was an eyeball watching him close when he slid his vision and saw nothing there.
He was terrified for a moment before believing he was still deranged.
After all, he still could remember himself laughing in madness, thinking about annihilating the Scorching Blade Clan.
Now that he regained his consciousness, he slowly scrutinized the changes on his body when he discovered that he had indeed become powerful.
Much more powerful than his previous state, where he could kill two guards swiftly, under the effects of the pills he received from the dead man inside.
However, he still recalled his body, which had lost into extreme madness, fighting against the dead man like a beast who lost his reasoning.
He knew how powerful the dead man was inside.
Probably, he would not be able to defeat him.
Yet, he had long considered the man dead, calling him dead-man, so what was the point of being depressed by the probability?
He closed and opened his hand, familiarizing the power he gained to a certain degree.
When he discerned he had an idea about the power he currently held, he looked away and swept his eyes to the corpse until his weapon.
He walked towards the blade and grasped the hilt, inspecting it.
He held it with two hands and took a stance, slashing the sword vertically.
It was a simple stance, performing the same movements.
Currently, Lu Zheng possessed a sword technique, which was the Azure Tide Sword Art, but it was incomplete.
As an external disciple, he could only practice the first stance out of the six stances.
The first stance three techniques, which were Wave Surge, Cresting Blade, and Tide’s Ascent, all focused on upward movements and strikes, as it differed Azure Tide Sword Art to others.
Of course, it was because the name of the first stance was Rising Wave Stance.
Everyone in the clan knew that the complete stance was inside the treasury of the clan, as the Sect Master was the only person who cultivated the complete manual.
Regardless, the location of the treasury remained unknown, except it was underground.
If it was not for her mother accidentally revealing the place of the treasury and how to activate it, he would not have been able to open the treasury.
Now that he had the blade, he could fight the dead man inside with the sword technique; it elevated the chances of him winning, at the very least.
However, his enemy surely must have a trump card, so he had to be careful.
His approach must be met with extreme meticulousness.
So, without wasting any more time, Lu Zheng sauntered inside the treasury, wanting to be as silent as possible.

Baiyan
When Lu Zheng was actually about to call him, he felt lost.He had forgotten the most important thing.Naming him!He scratched his cheeks with his left hand after trying to do so with his right hand that was actually missing.He tilted his head sideways, contemplating deeply.The Whiteflame Cub was staring at him, a bit confused, waiting for his master to respond.At the same time, Lu Zheng went back to the dictionary he used to read back in the clan.In a minute, his eyes finally lit up.He glanced at the Whiteflame Cub and said, “Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan, which means White Flame. Do you like it?”The Whiteflame Cub, or better call it by its name Baiyan, roared in excitement.He nodded his head vigorously.He said through telepathy, “Thank you, Master! I am Baiyan. Baiyan!”Lu Zheng smiled and said, “That’s right, Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan.”Baiyan stood up and jumped out of his legs, circling around in the soil.He said, jumping from time to time, “I am Baiyan. I am Baiyan!”L
Pills Effeciency
When the sun was about to set, only then Lu Zheng felt his stamina return.Staying in the same position would have numbed his butt and legs, but with the Wave Breathing, it kept his blood flow as natural as he was moving.In the past two hours, Lu Zheng did not think of anything. He simply swung his right elbow from time to time, getting used to the absence of his right hand.At the same time, not only was his mind trying to get accustomed to the absence, but also his emotional state, too.It would be a lie if his mental and emotional state did not improve significantly for the past two hours.After all, accepting he was now crippled was difficult and it would take some time.Finally, before the sun was about to set, he glanced at it and pondered, “I deserve it, right? The beautiful sun sets.”Ravyn said, “You’re being philosophical now, huh? Doofus? Should I call you Confucius?”Lu Zheng frowned and shook his head.He did not even know who or what Ravyn meant.He went quiet but Ravyn
Whiteflame Cub Obtained!
The Whiteflame Cub enjoyed Lu Zheng’s patting.Lu Zheng suddenly stopped and the Whiteflame Cub stared at him weirdly.Lu Zheng was currently communicating with Ravyn.He asked, “So, what’s next?”Ravyn snorted. “Go and figure it out yourself.”Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and did not mind.Of course, he was a bit suspicious that Ravyn might really not know and just refused to answer it.Ravyn rolled his eyes and said, “Cursed me again and I won’t help you next time.”Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and focused on the Whiteflame Cub.The Whiteflame Cub suddenly raised its paws out of nowhere and conjured a Whiteflame Qi.Compared to the Whiteflame Qi covering the paws of the Whiteflame Lion, the Whiteflame Cub’s Whiteflame Qi was more gentler and welcoming.Lu Zheng even felt attracted towards it.That was then he realized something, stunning him.He thought, ‘Is it asking to form a Soul Pact with me?’Without hesitation, just following his intuition, he conjured a Water Qi straight from his mer
Cutting His Right Arm
Lu Zheng was stunned.He frowned.He was silent for a while.Until he finally asked Ravyn, “Are you serious?”Ravyn immediately replied, “Dead serious, doofus.”Lu Zheng was silent once again.He was deeply shaken.After all, even if he cut a single finger, it would have a huge impact on his overall strength..Now, to give up one of his arms?Ravyn was simply telling him to cripple himself.However, Ravyn said he was serious.So much that it was visible on his tone, he was not joking at all.Lu Zheng hesitated.He slowly became anxious and he was not even aware he was shaking.A second later, as he felt like suffocating and about to faint from overthinking, Ravyn sighed.It seemed to have cleared his mind.He said, “This is a problem, you’re having thoughts like those who were about to commit suicide. You are not running out of options.Do you really believe that Elder will not help you regrow your arm? If he possessed the same technique as that venomous woman, then at his current lev
Whiteflame Cub
Two seconds passed and Lu Zheng finally sliced through the touch muscle of her neck and was about to end her life by severing her neck completely when another roar shook his Partial Domain.He was surprised and cursed under his breath.He thought, ‘Damn it! I completely forgot about the cub. Who would have thought it would fight when it was just born?’Ravyn said, “End her life immediately, doofus. Don’t wait for the cub to realize it can fight and protect its mother.”Lu Zheng replied, “I’m trying to.”Lu Zheng then shifted his body and now stood above the vertical line, showing the devastation he caused on the Whiteflame Lion’s neck. He remained the Tsunami Stance but executed the first technique.The Tsunami Crush, the technique that relied the most on strength. However, with the Wave Surge, as he forcibly spent more Qi that could break his body, lessening the Wave Surge’s duration into a single second, his strength multiplied manyfold.Raising his sword upward, the Partial Domai
Ocean's Heart Fury
Now that he was closer to her, he was able to discern her appearance up close.She towered at nearly 3 meters at the shoulder, with a regal, broad chested frame.Her fur was silvery-white, shimmering with iridescent embers that glow brighter during combat or aggression.Her mane was composed of slow-burning white flames that move with unnatural grace, making her more intimidating, especially the thick concentrated Whiteflame Qi.Obviously, the Whiteflame Lion also has nine balls of Qi, the same as Lu Zheng. Her eyes glowed with molten gold, as though it was capable of seeing Qi flow and detecting deceit or cowardice.Her tail was long and narrow, and on its ends was a burning tuft that arcs with heat pulses.If Lu Zheng was to describe the Whiteflame Lion, she was simply too beautiful and graceful.Lu Zheng spotted a mini silhouette below her, but he was not given a chance to leave his gaze off of her.After all, once he went closer to her, her roar abruptly stopped. Her molten gold e
