In the immortal realm
Bloodied and breathless, he carved through immortals—each one falling like stalks beneath a harvest blade
Each step he took left a smear of blood his own but he didn't falter.
"Damn... the wound's torn open again," he hissed, gripping his side as spiritual energy surged to keep him upright.
But he had no time.
"Luo Tian! If you don't arrive within three essence cycles..."
"...then come collect her corpse."
The kidnapper's threat echoed like thunder in his mind, fueling his fury.
Luo Tian remembering the time when he accepted her as disciple
"Since I promised to take you as my disciple there is no need of for such a gift, take the accessory back"
Her disciple bowing down to him says
"Heavenly Emperor! No, Master!"
"I am fortunate to be your disciple this is most important thing for although the gift of apprenticeship is trival, but it is a piece of disciple's heart i hope master can accept this"
Luo Tian accepting her apprenticeship says
"Well, then you will follow me to practice the art of immortality and live long life"
At present moment her disciple hanging on the pillar with external and internal injuries hoping to saved by her master
"master...save me.. "
A large group of immortals laughing at her condition and waiting to hunt their prey
"Do you think this Luo Tian really come back"
"Even if he does not come, but there is a
beautiful disciple... Hey we are not getting such benifit but a beauty"
"She must not be allowed to return alive either..."
Hearing those words and seeing all of immortals lusting for her disciple body makes his blood boil and looking them with ruthless emotion
"How dare you hurt my disciple"
Immortals seeing Luo Tian's attack makes their body freeze and trembling
"Look its Luo Tian!!!"
A single slash was enough to slaughter all of them.
There was blood splattered across everything, this makes her disciple crazy.
"Master... Come here and save me!!"
"Hang on"
Unaware, he moved toward her–until his foot sank into the center of a hidden formation
"Nine Hells Sky-Locking Formation?"
He said, eyes wide with shock and a tremor of fear in his voice
His disciple looked at him without the slightest emotion—and then, upon seeing his condition, burst into laughter like a madwoman
Using his sword for support, he stood up in his severely wounded state and said
"You...."
"You and I are master and disciple, why didn't you pass on your inheritance to me"
"I thought you are a cold hearted and did not value my apprenticeship, yet you led yourself into this trap that you see the trap with single galnce... "
" I didn't expect that master in order to save me, you got seriously injured I'm touched by your carelessness and negligence.. "
"What do you want? "
"Hand over me the Nine Heaven-Slaying Emperor's Sutra and I will give you a pleasure experience master"
He clenched his jaw so hard it felt like his teeth might crack, rage boiling beneath the surface.
"The body I can't move" He whispered
"Otherwise- don't blame this disciple for not thinking about master"
As the memories of the disciple's apprenticeship surged through his mind, his jaw tightened, teeth grinding with fury. In the next breath, his spiritual aura exploded outward like a storm, shaking the ground beneath him. Then, without hesitation, he crushed the apprenticeship token in his palm—shattering both the bond and the mercy that once bound them
"No way"
"What??? "
"How can he be so powerful when he is already seriously injured!! Oh bo!" She whispered
Just as his fearsome gaze bore into his disciple, a sudden burst of immense spiritual force slammed into his back. Caught off guard, he staggered forward and collapsed, the ground cracking beneath him
"Luo Tian, stop struggling to death"
Two powerful immortals appeared, their eyes cold and unreadable, their presence suffocating.
"Luo Tian, at this point in time, why do you to hold on to your life, honestly hand over the Nine Heavean– Slaying Emperor's Sutra, we can still keep your corpse intact for the sake of our friendship in the past"
"Don't worry brother Luo we will take good care of your disciple, so you have no worries-"
As the weight of betrayal struck him—by the very ones he had trusted most—he coughed up blood, the taste of it bitter on his tongue. His sword hit the ground first, bearing his weight as he sank beside it, a fallen figure wrapped in silence and rage
"Hey master what are you doing?, do you want kneel to me and beg for mercy"
"But i'm not as kind as you"
She laid his sword down in front of him and said
"Since you won't hand over the Nine Heaven-Slaying Emperor Sutra"
"Then I will have to pell back your skin and blood, little by little, and find it myself"
Grinning, he stepped into his domain and sealed it shut—whatever happened next, no one would be able to interfere. The sudden act stunned all three of them, and without hesitation, they rushed toward him
"No! This must be secret technique of Nine Heaven-Slaying Emperor's Sutra"
"I don't want to have a long dream! Stop him first"
"Do you want the Nine Heaven-Slaying Emperor's Sutra so much?"
"Then.. "
Blood dripped from his mouth, his eyes gleamed with manic laughter—and then, with a twisted grin, he began to activate his art
"GO TO HELL AND GET IT"
The domain trembled, veins of crimson light crawling across its surface. His blood seeped into its core, and with a deafening crack, the blood-red domain began to break apart
"Noo! "
"This guy is going to self destruct himself stop him"
In a final act of defiance, he self-destructed—his body becoming a blazing core of destruction. The explosion tore through space, and in an instant, half the Immortal Realm was reduced to ruin.
Mysteriously, his eyes slowly opened—only to be met by an unfamiliar voice echoing through the void
"Welcome, dear passengers... Please do not leave the luggage unattended anywhere"
"Next stop- Shanghai city"
He stared at his hands in disbelief, breath hitching—he was alive
"I'm.. Not dead"
"No! This is me... "
"A rebirth? "
Death was not the end. The heavens had returned him to the past and this time, he wouldn't be the one betrayed
But he knew clearly it was not a dream..
