"Demon! Who are you?"
"How dare you attack Black Rose Sect territory!"
"You're seeking death!"
"Look what you've done – slaughtering an entire village, even a newborn, just to cultivate a Spiritual Purifying Ji Worm!"
....
Zu Ren stood among the corpses, his laughter echoing like thunder in the silence.
"Hahaha! My Spiritual Essence has reached Peak Grade!" His voice carried a devilish edge as he turned to the horizon. "More... I need more."
Blood soaked his robes and face. In his hand, he clutched a child's skull.
"Today, your demonic path ends here – by the righteous Black Rose Sect!"
The sect disciples encircled him, cutting off all escape routes from Zu Ren
Lady Xi Lan struck first, her Earth Frog Ji Beast roaring as massive boulders tore from the ground and hurtled toward him. Sharp rock spears followed in a deadly rain.
Zu Ren's eyes gleamed. He weaved through the assault, sliding beneath a boulder mid-flight. The gap closed instantly.
Xi Lan drew her sword in a flash, but Zu Ren caught her wrist. The blade clattered away. His fist crushed her throat with a sickening crack. Her body flew backward like discarded paper.
"Junior Xi Lan!" The disciples' screams tore through the air.
A cultivator unleashed a storm of spiritual swords, each blade humming with murderous intent as they shot toward Zu Ren.
Twenty minutes passed like melting ice.
Cold wind swept through the battlefield, indifferent to the carnage below. hawk spread their wings and soared toward the horizon.
Zu Ren stood before the last cultivator, his gaze cold and unsatisfied.
The man's eyes locked with his. After witnessing that glacial stare, only one word escaped his lips.
"Demon..."
Zu Ren looking at Lifeless Ice Cold corpse of Cultivator and fell in long pause and Zu Ren voice emerged, cold as winter's grave: "In this Ocean of Creation, human lives are mere resources for the strong!,"Equality doesn't exist in the Ocean of Creation."
