Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang was in a state where nothing around him had any effect on him. Earlier whenever he entered the state of indifference he would become extremely sensitive to the intentions of those around him. Many a times he would even lash out against them. However, this time things were different.

He was the master of his mind and thoughts. He was invincible, however, the cost was using up and burning through the comprehension of Dao Laws. The sacrifice of Dao Laws was supreme, if he was burning them there was a chance for him to comprehend them again in the future but it would be harder.

Shi Lang did not care when he invoked this technique. He had been comprehending his Dao Laws ever since he was in the federation and had just regained the taste of cultivation. He knew the importance of Dao Laws, and his training taught him to be indifferent to all the changes in the battlefield to maintain his efficiency.

Thus he decided to comprehend the Dao Laws of Indifference even before the ways of sword and element. He knew he could catch onto sword arts easily thanks to the comprehension of his past life.

…

Yun Xue asked, “Can someone tell me, why is the enemy not scared of him?”

Lao Xu smiled and replied, “This is the effect of Dao Law sacrifice.”

The people looked toward him and he continued, “Dao Laws are a part of the nature. They are what makes the world work and are the base of its existence. Think of them as a currency, when cultivators progress in their paths, they engrave themselves with these Dao Laws.

The sacrifice means erasing the Dao Laws from the various parts of their being. The energy generated from the erasure bounds nature to think of you as a part of it. Shi Lang is at the moment, one with the nature. That is why he is invincible, an existence between heaven and earth.”

The woman from the medicine god valley said, “I am Shina Ryu, all of you juniors may think that probably you can also do such a thing in the future, but that is not recommended. The impact of erasing the Dao Law can leave your foundation with cracks.”

Amelia was startled, and asked, “Senior, do you mean, he will be in trouble?”

Shina Ryu shook her head and replied, “That is not the case. He is stronger than the average people.”

Amelia let out a sigh of relief. She looked at Shi Lang in the distance. He has finished slaying the last Demonic Sovereign with ease.

…

Shi Lang landed on the ground. The surroundings around him were scorched crisp. He looked around and walked toward the place where Mandala was fighting with the lightning spiritual avatar.

The avatar stopped moving and then vanished from the sight of people. Mandala seemed exhausted after the battle, his breathing was rugged. His realm was still dropping, from the peak of Immortal Emperor realm, he was now in the initial level Immortal emperor.

The monk glared at Shi Lang and said, “You really wish to kill me that bad. How can you not see the outcomes of the disbalance? Are you really that blind?”

Shi Lang did not say anything, he dropped the sword and the blade was stabbed in the ground. His Dao Armor and Dao Crown also vanished. His red hair turned black and his eyes returned to normal also.

Everyone was confused when they saw these changes, and Moon Jade covered her mouth as she cried. Amelia could not help but feel like something was up. She approached Moon Jade and asked, “Elder sister, can you tell me what is going on. Lang seems different from usual.”

Moon Jade realized that her emotional fluctuation made Amelia realized something. She replied, “When the first time he found out about our identity, he asked us many questions. Tian Long had left a pill back on the spirit beast world. Shi Lang consumed that pill and the memories of his past life, where he was a renegade cultivator with us came to him.”

Amelia was stunned and so were the rest of the people. Moon Jade did not give them any more time to think and continued, “He was the last cultivator in our generation to have reached the peak of the cultivation and was about to ascend to this realm when the spiritual energy ran out and the world began to crumble. To protect whatever was left of the spiritual energy, he gave up his life.

Later, he was reincarnated as the current person. Please do not think that he is a different person, but at this moment, the true nature of his cultivation path is guiding him.”

Shi Tao asked calmly, “Senior, what is his path of cultivation.”

Moon Jade said, “Back when he roamed the lower realm with us. He was known as the Scavenger King. He was ruthless to his enemies but he never betrayed anyone. In his past life, me and Tian Long owed him our lives. When we came here, Tian Long predicted that his path is that of conquest or sacrifice. At this moment, he is out to conquer an Emperor with his mortal prowess.”

Everyone was shocked when they realized that Shi Lang was going to fight Mandala as a mortal. It did not mean that he would not have the strength to fight. He was just going to use his physical ability and fight with Mandala.

The monk was stunned when he saw Shi Lang walking over without a slightest of spiritual fluctuation. He has been cultivating for ages, but today this young man was insulting him this much, it was not something he would tolerate. He yelled and charged at Shi Lang. The Terran did not even need to rely on his sensory ability.

His experience was enough to know that the monk was coming after his head. Shi Lang tilted to the side, and then Mandala missed. The Terran had a dagger in his hand and as Mandala passed him, the former attacked his back. Leaving a deep slash wound.

The monk could not even understand how the blade could injure him this much. He turned around to look at Shi Lang and found the young man looking at him with dead pan gaze. He asked in disbelief, “How can you damage me this much with a common dagger?”

Shi Lang did not replied he lowered his body and moved quickly to close the distance between them. The Monk used his palm to strike the Terran, but Shi Lang used the pommel of the dagger to hit the side of the palm. Then he slashed at Mandala’s torso with his daggers. The attacks were quick and not only was it a slash, but also a stabs.

The Terran did not even give out any chance for Mandala to react, he took out a second dagger and his speed was blindingly quick.

…

The people from Shi Lang’s group were shocked, Sovereign Amethyst said, “The Dao Of Intention? Am I dreaming? Is this kid a monster?”

Moon Jade shook her head and replied, “He mastered the Dao Of Intention in his previous life, he was the most hated person because even when he was attacked by people ten times stronger than him. He survived the injuries and came back stronger.”

All the Sovereigns looked at her and the lady continued, “He did not reach the apex of strength only because he did not wish to give into any force. The Dao he comprehended was practiced the hard way. It may sound like I am boasting, but he never did things that he was not confident in.”

The people nodded and Shi Tao said, “The monk is done for.”

These words attracted their attention and turned to look at Shi Lang. The Terran had a similar stance like Shi Tao had in the tournament, ‘Hero Stance’. Mandala tried to attack Shi Lang with spiritual attacks, however, nothing worked against Shi Lang.

The Terran was glided around the battlefield with such grace that the people were in a daze. Mandala was wailing in frustration time and time over. In his mind, Shi Lang was a fly that he could not squat away. This insect was buzzing around his head over and over.

Shi Lang used the Hero Stance to counter the monk, blood flew after every slash. Blades left Mandala ridden with slash wounds. The Terran moved for ten minutes and then he stopped. Mandala was standing with his shoulders drooping and his face was pale. Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, “If you wish to restore the balance, then you should pay for it yourself.”

He appeared before Mandala and stabbed his dagger in the monk’s abdomen. Mandala opened his eyes wide and wailed, “NO!!!”

Shi Lang remarked, “The price of balance is not shallow. You need to give up your cultivation.”

Then he grabbed the monk from his shoulder and yanked his hand out. The people shivered when they heard the flesh tearing sounds. Shi Lang used his bear hands to tear apart the limb of an Immortal Sovereign. Mandala wailed, however, Shi Lang did not stop, he decapitated the other arm too.

The battlefield which was filled with battle cries and clanging sounds of weapons was now replaced by agonized cries of a traitor. All of the sovereigns were shocked, they all took a deep breath and exchanged glances. Shi Lang yanked the monk up to his feet and stabbed a spear through his chest and back.

Mandala was hanging on the spear with his feet dangling. Shi Lang said, “Your attack on Tian Long would make this place known for his fall. I cannot let that happen. He is my friend, since you dared to harm him, I shall return the favor. This place will be known for your demise, traitor.”

As he said this, he dug out the gem embedded in the monk’s forehead. Shi Lang turned deaf to his wails and chopped of his legs as well. The people could not comprehend what was going on. A dignified sovereign had been turned into a living dead and his body was left on the spearhead.

Shi Lang turned around and walked toward where all the experts were gathered. He said sonorously, “If anyone tried to help him closer, the asura hall will execute them. I will make sure that not only them but even their families are removed from the roots. Humanity will take as many attacks as the demons can make against us, but if any human dared to turn traitor. Is that clear?!”

The Asura Hall members appeared from within the crowd, “Yes, Hall Master!!!”
