Chapter 52
After the crystal absorbed his spiritual sense signature it is now recognized by the yellow crystal, which is actually a part of the soul crystal fragment of Lemy. Shin Jiao is now able to control this tiny world albeit not thoroughly yet as the true owner is yet alive. But still, it is enough to make Shin Jiao smile upon gaining information on what he can do in this tiny world. So he decided to go out of the cave with a curious heart, then he looks up and directly flew above the crater of the volcano.
"Ah, flying… when I was a kid I really wanted to fly like a bird and this is like a dream come true." Shin Jiao said as he slowly levitates higher to the air.
Then he tried to fly around the island with his mind in full learning mode.
"So this is how to fly... If I can control my spiritual Qi like this then I might be able to really fly in the outside world right? But still... Ah... I almost forgot..." Shin Jiao had already spent a couple of minutes flying when suddenly he remembers something.
Floating high up in the air Shin Jiao then had a thought. Since he can almost control the space in this world, he wanted to try instant movements.
"Hmmm… since that dragon is still a goner no matter what, I have to help Lemy and the girls first." Shin Jiao said to himself as he moved in a blink of an eye towards where Qin Lou and Susu Ling is.
"Hey, are you two okay?" Shin Jiao shouted from outside the stump while he commanded the debris to clear a path.
And like magic, the broken trees and rocks removed themselves from the tree stump and were clear in a matter of seconds. Then Shin Jiao saw Qin Lou and Susu Ling's astonished faces as if they are looking at something not human.
"Hey! How did you do that? Teach me! Teach me!" Susu Ling was the first one to recover as she went back to her haughty attitude and demanded Shin Jiao as if he is her servant.
"This girl is truly a…" Shin Jiao thought as he was dumbfounded at Susu Ling's reaction.
He didn't seem to notice the tears that slowly forming in her eyes which she is trying to suppress. Susu Ling is truly grateful to Shin Jiao, she just could not show it to him as her pride and haughty attitude seem to be her first defense so as not to show affection.
"Susu, Don't be like that. Shin Jiao has already helped us a lot." Qin Lou scolded as she also felt that something is off at her friend.
Seeing that his two friends are okay, Shin Jiao just heave a sigh of relief and didn't mind Susu Ling's attitude as he is already used at her having her princess syndrome every now and then.
"Nice to see that you two are as lovely as ever. But first, we need to help Lemy. I discovered that he is connected to this world." Shin Jiao said as he flew down and walked towards the still unconscious Lemy.
"What do you mean?" Qin Lou asked with a curious tone.
"I'll show you later..."
When Shin Jiao's spiritual sense touched Lemy's body, as if jolted by an electric shock, the boy suddenly jumped up. Then he froze in position as if he realized something. Lemy then looks around and saw the three people looking at him with a stunned expression. They didn't expect the boy to become so energetic all of a sudden.
"Oh! Shin Jiao! You're alive! Thank goodness!" Lemy suddenly shouted as he ran towards Shin Jiao patting his leg.
"Yeah, you too." Shin Jiao said awkwardly.
"Ah... And these two are your friends' right?" Lemy asked as his gaze went back and forth between Susu Ling and Qin Lou.
"Whew, You're a lucky man!" Lemy suddenly said as he threw a wink at him.
Seeing the boy's action, Susu Ling and Qin Lou's face blush, although it's not evident with Qin Lou because of her mask. But Susu Ling's face is blushing while she pouts her red lips as she didn't expect the child to associate her with Shin Jiao.
"Umm... Guys, what do you we do with the dragon?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked trying to disperse the awkwardness of the situation.
"What dragon?" Lemy asked in confusion.
"Oh, that Fire Dragoon… Where is it? Were you able to kill it?" Susu Ling suddenly asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Wow! If you truly did defeat that dragon, we can harvest a lot of raw materials from its body not to mention the core, its whole body is truly a treasure trove." Susu Ling added with eagerness in her voice.
"You… Did you fight a dragon? But how? I mean… there are no dragons in here." Lemy said with confusion.
"It's better if you see it. Let's go…" Shin Jiao said and with a thought, he was able to make the three start to float alongside him which gained astonishment in their eyes.
Then they flew towards Mok Dong's fallen body.
"Shin Jiao, how are you able to do this? Don't tell me you're already in the world nascent or heavenly nascent realm?" Susu Ling asked as amazement still filled her eyes which also gained a nod from Qin Lou and Lemy who also looked at Shin Jiao.
"I will explain it later okay. We need to do something with this one first." Shin Jiao helplessly said as he pointed at Mok Dong under them.
They had already arrived at the location of Mok Dong and saw the almost unmoving gigantic body of the dragon.
"Ewww… that's gross. What did you do to it?" Susu Ling suddenly exclaimed with a face full of disgust.
Although Susu Ling acted like that, her eyes are brimming with excitement. She didn't expect that Shin Jiao was really able to beat the colossal beast. And looking at the place, she already had an idea on what happened, it was that great and powerful explosion that they felt which shook the whole island. Even Qin Lou didn't expect to see that Shin Jiao could do this to the great dragon.
Shin Jiao just sighs helplessly at the antics of Susu Ling. But he could not blame her for this, as Shin Jiao knows that it is her way of coping up with the situation.
"Shin… let's just put an end to its suffering." Lemy said with a sad tone.
The words of Lemy made Shin Jiao a little uncertain of something. Although Shin Jiao didn't know why Lemy is like a pure soul right now, upon remembering the black-feathered bird that kills rampantly in that battlefield, he could feel all the hair on his back standing.
Then he thought that maybe Lemy is just like he himself because when he was a spy he would also kill without batting an eye. But when he decided to change and become a better person he began to have second thoughts when it comes to killing. But of course he could not deny that the bloodthirst is still there, but he can already control it.
"Yeah, just finish him off and then we'll harvest what we can from it. Hehe…" Susu Ling's eyes are like fiery glowing orbs as she looks at the Fire Dragoon like a hungry wolf.
Upon hearing that it would be harvested and be treated like a money bag, it felt fear.
"Hmph! Even if I die I won't let you humans do anything with my body. Haha… I will just take you all with me to hell." Mok Dong suddenly shouted as it suddenly started to glow.
Mok Dong suddenly thought of detonating its core to blow itself up along with the humans, it knows that as a level 6 beast the power of the blast is enough to destroy half of this small island.
"It's going to blow its core! What should we do? We can't escape now! Shin Jiao stop that beast!" Susu Ling shouted as she moved closer to Qin Lou.
Both girls suddenly hugged each other as fear is clearly shown on Susu Ling's face. Then Qin Lou looks at Shin Jiao and upon seeing his calm face staring at the dragon she forcefully calmed her heart.
Then they saw that with a wave of Shin Jiao's hand, Mok Dong who is about to erupt was stopped and then its core was suddenly lifted out of its body.
When its core was pulled out Mok Dong was crestfallen in disbelief and despair can be seen in its huge dragon's face. It could feel its core slowly floating out of its body as it suddenly feels the power it once wields starting to go away. But with its core gone its body began to crumble as the wounds stopped healing themselves.
"No! No! This can't be! I am the mighty dragon, Mok Dong! I sacrificed hundreds of years in here; I can't let it end this way… I… I... can't… let… you… end…" Mok Dong's voice slowly faded as it bleeds itself to death.
Susu Ling and Qin Lou look at the great Fire Dragoon in front of them with a now calm expression. Then Susu Ling looks at Shin Jiao with her teary eyes and smiled.
"Sigh… Shin… Can you not let its blood go to waste?"
"Huh?" Shin Jiao and the others felt a little confused as this girl was panicking just a while ago, now what's with her sudden change.
"You dumb ass! Its blood is too precious it could also make us rich!" Susu Ling's already had a wide grin on her beautiful face and her eyes are interchanging in shaped between gold coins and spiritual stones respectively as she scolded Shin Jiao.
Shin Jiao and the rest almost fell out of the sky upon looking at her.
...
Shin Jiao took care of Mok Dong's corpse with the instruction from the slave driver Susu Ling. He knows that Susu Ling is right and with her sharp mind in business, he can see her worth in the group. But Shin Jiao kept the core of Mok Dong as it is one of the necessary material to help Qin Lou recover her corrupted core.
After a while, the group then arrived inside the volcano and immediately enters the cave. There they found the yellow crystal, which is the soul fragment of Lemy.
"Lemy it's time for you to reclaim this world." Shin Jiao knows that his control over the small planet is limited; he didn't even have the ability to send them out of this place.
So his only bet is to make Lemy regain his control over this place and for the boy to remember everything. Although this is a gamble, still Shin Jiao is vigilant as he knows how vicious the old beast god Lemy is like.
When Lemy's hands made in contact with the crystal a sudden burst of bright light immediately came forth wrapping all of them.
...
3 months later…
In a mountainous area of the endless Daemon forest, a group of scavenger beast which looks like that of a velociraptor from Earth is encircling a huge mountainous carcass of a Land Devouring worm. From the decaying body of the worm which the scavenger beasts are feasting upon a small speck of dust which is unnoticeable on the ground started to show a faint light.
Then all of a sudden, from that light four figures appear; a handsome short-haired young man wearing a blue robe, a black feathered large bird and two young women. One of the young women is wearing a white body-hugging robe insinuating her perfect figure with a half-face veil and the other one is wearing a yellow robe with a beautiful ponytail. Both the women not only are glowing with beauty and charm but their auras are in the middle-stage of gold core realm.
These people are Shin Jiao and his group. After staying inside the small world and cultivating like crazy, they were able to come out. Lemy already reverted back to his own appearance the black-feathered bird. When they first saw Lemy's original form Susu Ling and Qin Lou found Lemy's appearance truly cute, but Shin Jiao's heart is throbbing in fear although he didn't show it in his face. In his mind, he can clearly see that black beast killing gods and god beast left and right as if it is just walking in a park.
But the thing that surprised him the most is that Lemy wanted to be Shin Jiao's pet. Which sends shivers down his spine, though he knows that Lemy is still in its infant form. But Shin Jiao is truly unwilling; he wanted Lemy to be free from the constraint and bound of slavery. So instead of a slave pact, they made a brother's oath, which made the two girls dumbfounded.
"So this is the world outside! I want to explore it! Big brother Shin Jiao, let's go!" Lemy excitedly said not noticing the group of scavenger beast around them who is now glaring at them for disturbing their feast.
"Umm… guys, I think we're in trouble." Susu Ling said as she immediately brought out a long golden whip from her spatial ring, which both items are just a few that she took from the small world.
Qin Lou also didn't say anything but just brought out from her spatial ring two handguns modified by Shin Jiao to have its handle guard turn into a short blade.
The two ladies prepare themselves but Shin Jiao and Lemy are still talking as if not putting in their eyes the surrounding beast.
"Guys this is your practice… all these creatures have the same level as you do." Shin Jiao said as he looks at Qin Lou with a meaningful smile.
Upon seeing Shin Jiao's gaze both the ladies know what he meant, this is to tamper them especially Qin Lou to solidify her cultivation after recovering them.
"Humph… Making a beautiful girl like me work. Shin Jiao, I hate you." Susu Ling suddenly said while pouting and stomping her foot acting like a spoiled brat that she is.
But still, she quickly moves and just rushed in towards the nearest scavenger beast with a cold gleam in her eyes as killing intent radiated from them. The women immediately went into action as they quickly showed the raw martial arts skills that they learned from Shin Jiao.
"Wait a minute… I knew that these moves are familiar. I think I saw them before somewhere." Lemy suddenly said to Shin Jiao as they watched the fight.
"What do you mean?"
"Big brother… when you were teaching those simple moves to those little girls in the small world I feel that they are something familiar but it's vague in my memory. But now seeing them in action, I think I can remember something." Lemy said as if trying to remember something.
Upon hearing this Shin Jiao suddenly feel a little dazed.
"Big brother Shin Jiao… you… you are like me… you are not from this world, right?" Lemy suddenly said while looking at Shin Jiao with its big glowing eyes.
Thump!
…
Meanwhile, in a deep cave, two glowing eyes suddenly lit up like two fire glowing balls lighting the darkness and then a malicious grin full of razor-sharp teeth like that of a truly vicious creature, slowly appear.
"Hihihi… At last, you've died. After so many years of waiting this is retribution! It's time for me to wreak havoc and reclaim my territory. Hihi…" a sinister and deep voice echoed through the darkness as it laughed heartily.
Then its laugh slowly faded through the void as the figure vanished.
Unknown to the cultivators of the cultivation land a series of events is about to unfold which would shake the very foundation of the great Empire of Xi.

What did you do to it?" Susu Ling suddenly exclaimed with a face full of disgust.Although Susu Ling acted like that, her eyes are brimming with excitement. She didn't expect that Shin Jiao was really able to beat the colossal beast. And looking at the place, she already had an idea on what happened, it was that great and powerful explosion that they felt which shook the whole island. Even Qin Lou didn't expect to see that Shin Jiao could do this to the great dragon.Shin Jiao just sighs helplessly at the antics of Susu Ling. But he could not blame her for this, as Shin Jiao knows that it is her way of coping up with the situation."Shin let's just put an end to its suffering." Lemy said with a sad tone.The words of Lemy made Shin Jiao a little uncertain of something. Although Shin Jiao didn't know why Lemy is like a pure soul right now, upon remembering the black-feathered bird that kills rampantly in that battlefield, he could feel all the hair on his back standing.Then he thought that maybe Lemy is just like he himself because when he was a spy he would also kill without batting an eye. But when he decided to change and become a better person he began to have second thoughts when it comes to killing. But of course he could not deny that the bloodthirst is still there, but he can already control it."Yeah, just finish him off and then we'll harvest what we can from it. Hehe" Susu Ling's eyes are like fiery glowing orbs as she looks at the Fire Dragoon like a hungry wolf.Upon hearing that it would be harvested and be treated like a money bag, it felt fear."Hmph! Even if I die I won't let you humans do anything with my body. Haha I will just take you all with me to hell." Mok Dong suddenly shouted as it suddenly started to glow.Mok Dong suddenly thought of detonating its core to blow itself up along with the humans, it knows that as a level 6 beast the power of the blast is enough to destroy half of this small island."It's going to blow its core! What should we do? We can't escape now! Shin Jiao stop that beast!" Susu Ling shouted as she moved closer to Qin Lou.Both girls suddenly hugged each other as fear is clearly shown on Susu Ling's face. Then Qin Lou looks at Shin Jiao and upon seeing his calm face staring at the dragon she forcefully calmed her heart.Then they saw that with a wave of Shin Jiao's hand, Mok Dong who is about to erupt was stopped and then its core was suddenly lifted out of its body.When its core was pulled out Mok Dong was crestfallen in disbelief and despair can be seen in its huge dragon's face. It could feel its core slowly floating out of its body as it suddenly feels the power it once wields starting to go away. But with its core gone its body began to crumble as the wounds stopped healing themselves."No! No! This can't be! I am the mighty dragon, Mok Dong! I sacrificed hundreds of years in here; I can't let it end this way I I... can't let you end" Mok Dong's voice slowly faded as it bleeds itself to death.Susu Ling and Qin Lou look at the great Fire Dragoon in front of them with a now calm expression. Then Susu Ling looks at Shin Jiao with her teary eyes and smiled."Sigh Shin Can you not let its blood go to waste?""Huh?" Shin Jiao and the others felt a little confused as this girl was panicking just a while ago, now what's with her sudden change."You dumb ass! Its blood is too precious it could also make us rich!" Susu Ling's already had a wide grin on her beautiful face and her eyes are interchanging in shaped between gold coins and spiritual stones respectively as she scolded Shin Jiao.Shin Jiao and the rest almost fell out of the sky upon looking at her....Shin Jiao took care of Mok Dong's corpse with the instruction from the slave driver Susu Ling. He knows that Susu Ling is right and with her sharp mind in business, he can see her worth in the group. But Shin Jiao kept the core of Mok Dong as it is one of the necessary material to help Qin Lou recover her corrupted core.After a while, the group then arrived inside the volcano and immediately enters the cave. There they found the yellow crystal, which is the soul fragment of Lemy."Lemy it's time for you to reclaim this world." Shin Jiao knows that his control over the small planet is limited; he didn't even have the ability to send them out of this place.So his only bet is to make Lemy regain his control over this place and for the boy to remember everything. Although this is a gamble, still Shin Jiao is vigilant as he knows how vicious the old beast god Lemy is like.When Lemy's hands made in contact with the crystal a sudden burst of bright light immediately came forth wrapping all of them....3 months laterIn a mountainous area of the endless Daemon forest, a group of scavenger beast which looks like that of a velociraptor from Earth is encircling a huge mountainous carcass of a Land Devouring worm. From the decaying body of the worm which the scavenger beasts are feasting upon a small speck of dust which is unnoticeable on the ground started to show a faint light.Then all of a sudden, from that light four figures appear; a handsome short-haired young man wearing a blue robe, a black feathered large bird and two young women. One of the young women is wearing a white body-hugging robe insinuating her perfect figure with a half-face veil and the other one is wearing a yellow robe with a beautiful ponytail. Both the women not only are glowing with beauty and charm but their auras are in the middle-stage of gold core realm.These people are Shin Jiao and his group. After staying inside the small world and cultivating like crazy, they were able to come out. Lemy already reverted back to his own appearance the black-feathered bird. When they first saw Lemy's original form Susu Ling and Qin Lou found Lemy's appearance truly cute, but Shin Jiao's heart is throbbing in fear although he didn't show it in his face. In his mind, he can clearly see that black beast killing gods and god beast left and right as if it is just walking in a park.But the thing that surprised him the most is that Lemy wanted to be Shin Jiao's pet. Which sends shivers down his spine, though he knows that Lemy is still in its infant form. But Shin Jiao is truly unwilling; he wanted Lemy to be free from the constraint and bound of slavery. So instead of a slave pact, they made a brother's oath, which made the two girls dumbfounded."So this is the world outside! I want to explore it! Big brother Shin Jiao, let's go!" Lemy excitedly said not noticing the group of scavenger beast around them who is now glaring at them for disturbing their feast."Umm guys, I think we're in trouble." Susu Ling said as she immediately brought out a long golden whip from her spatial ring, which both items are just a few that she took from the small world.Qin Lou also didn't say anything but just brought out from her spatial ring two handguns modified by Shin Jiao to have its handle guard turn into a short blade.The two ladies prepare themselves but Shin Jiao and Lemy are still talking as if not putting in their eyes the surrounding beast."Guys this is your practice all these creatures have the same level as you do." Shin Jiao said as he looks at Qin Lou with a meaningful smile.Upon seeing Shin Jiao's gaze both the ladies know what he meant, this is to tamper them especially Qin Lou to solidify her cultivation after recovering them."Humph Making a beautiful girl like me work. Shin Jiao, I hate you." Susu Ling suddenly said while pouting and stomping her foot acting like a spoiled brat that she is.But still, she quickly moves and just rushed in towards the nearest scavenger beast with a cold gleam in her eyes as killing intent radiated from them. The women immediately went into action as they quickly showed the raw martial arts skills that they learned from Shin Jiao."Wait a minute I knew that these moves are familiar. I think I saw them before somewhere." Lemy suddenly said to Shin Jiao as they watched the fight."What do you mean?""Big brother when you were teaching those simple moves to those little girls in the small world I feel that they are something familiar but it's vague in my memory. But now seeing them in action, I think I can remember something." Lemy said as if trying to remember something.Upon hearing this Shin Jiao suddenly feel a little dazed."Big brother Shin Jiao you you are like me you are not from this world, right?" Lemy suddenly said while looking at Shin Jiao with its big glowing eyes.Thump!Meanwhile, in a deep cave, two glowing eyes suddenly lit up like two fire glowing balls lighting the darkness and then a malicious grin full of razor-sharp teeth like that of a truly vicious creature, slowly appear."Hihihi At last, you've died. After so many years of waiting this is retribution! It's time for me to wreak havoc and reclaim my territory. Hihi" a sinister and deep voice echoed through the darkness as it laughed heartily.Then its laugh slowly faded through the void as the figure vanished.Unknown to the cultivators of the cultivation land a series of events is about to unfold which would shake the very foundation of the great Empire of Xi.
