The Way of The Dao



A figure that seemed to come from the heavens, descending through the clouds, slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at the figure of Man Chong.

"What is this!?"

Terror struck Man Chong as he felt an inexplicable fear when the jet black eyes of this figure gazed at him.

What was happening?

What was this terrifying force?

Why did he feel so small, weak and helpless before this figure as if he were a mere ant that could be trampled on at any moment?

Who was this guy!

How could he have such terrifying power!

Man Chong could not understand how this kid could display such terrifying power. The soul origin was supposed to show the true essence and power they once attained in life, so how could a mere brat be more powerful than him? The mere figure in the sky forced him to kneel down and feel like an ant, as if he felt that this supreme existence had reached an unimaginable height in his cultivation, being a true and real Immortal from heaven. This power was nothing comparable to his heyday.

This kind of feeling could only be conveyed by those old monsters who had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal World... those who managed to surpass the true King!

Could it be an Immortal Monarch?!

Man Chong no longer dared to think of anything else, thinking that it was all an illusion. This figure in the sky seemed to be standing above all the myriads, to be above the entire universe as he stared at him indifferently, having no value in his eyes.

Ling Tian gazed with indifference at Man Chong's soul. His eyes neither joyful nor sad, like an unconcerned calm did not allow anyone to see through him and know what he was thinking.

"Who would have thought that you were only a weak cultivator in the Heaven Immortal realm? Although you almost touched the threshold of the immortal throne you still couldn't reach the true King..."

Then, the figure in the sky, Ling Tian, said, shocking Man Chong as his identity was exposed.

How could this boy know that he had not reached the true King?

What was really going on?!

Was this boy really a terrifying old monster?

"This is an illusion!"

"This can't be happening!"

"You're just a simple stupid kid with a bit of luck to have ascended to the Immortal World!"

"Ever since you were in your mother's womb I had created mountains and rivers of blood!"

"When your bitch mother wasn't even born I was already a true lord in the Immortal World!"

Man Chong began to hurl insults when he could not bear the stark reality. His soul figure became even more distorted than it was, losing control over himself.

* Boom! *

Instantly, Ling Tian's jet black eyes turned terrifyingly cold, filled with a horrible killing intent that shook Man Chong's soul!

Coldness enveloped the entire place, with a horrible pressure enveloping Man Chong as if hell itself was descending!

"How dare you insult my mother?"

A cold and terrifying voice filled the whole place, awakening Man Chong from his confused state as he was about to become an idiot.

* Roar! *

The place shook as finally a roar of a mighty dragon shook the entire dimension, paling Man Chong's face even more!

A giant figure measuring hundreds and even thousands of meters appeared overhead, attracting Man Chong's full attention.

The supreme figure of an ancient Golden Dragon flew over the skies before flying behind Ling Tian and over his head, gazing at Man Chong with majestic cold and indifferent eyes!

The mere pressure radiated by this creature from ancient times completely crushed Man Chong's soul figure, horribly suppressing him without leaving any room for him to breathe. A mere glance from it shook his entire soul essence to his source! It was as if he was worthless in its eyes to the point that an ant would have more value than him!

Ling Tian's gaze remained cold and full of killing intent. He raised his hand towards Man Chong and slowly lowered it.

"Noo!"

"Spare my life, great Lord!"

"Please! I'll be your slave-!"

* Boom! *

Before Man Chong could finish his pleas and beg for mercy, his soul figure exploded into thousands of pieces. The remaining soul energy scattered all over the place.

Ling Tian's jet black eyes that looked like a horrible vortex remained cold and terrifying, completely watching as Man Chong's soul energy shattered into pieces until it completely vanished.

* Roar~! *

The image of the Golden Dragon roared furiously in place once more before vanishing into energy particles that entered Ling Tian's soul.

An indeterminate amount of time passed, and Ling Tian continued to stare at the place where Man Chong's soul figure once stood. His eyes were now filled with indifference, but a trace of killing intent could still be found hidden in them.

The insult towards his adoring and beloved mother made Ling Tian lose his temper momentarily.

His adoptive mother was and will remain his adoration and love, even if she is no longer in this world or another, her spirit will remain in his heart. As will his adoptive father and his adoptive elder sister. Ling Tian will not allow anyone to insult his family.

"Mother..."

And as for his biological mother, Ling Tian could feel that with time that blurry and dark figure was becoming clearer and clearer. The feeling of love he had towards this figure who was probably his biological mother seemed to be no less than that of his adoptive mother...

What had really happened in his childhood to the point that he permanently lost his memories? To the point of not even remembering his own mother? His own family?

Ling Tian was sure that something horrible had happened. If his deepest feelings in his heart showed such a degree of love for his biological parents, then his abandonment in a small world of a low plane was not simple at all.

He did not believe that they could cruelly abandon him according to the few memories he has recovered…

"Whatever it is, I think I'll find out later..."

Ling Tian let out a sigh. He had an intuition that he would get answers in the future. He even had a hunch that maybe he would be reunited with them...

Ling Tian's soul figure returned to normal, as if the feeling of supremacy and majesty had never appeared and he was just a simple ordinary young man only with unparalleled charm and beauty.

The calm in the consciousness sea also returned to its tranquility. The small sprout in the center of the little island did not seem to be disturbed and continued to absorb all the spiritual force of the consciousness sea to grow as it returned some of this energy but much more pure and refined to the place.

Ling Tian waved his hand and seemed to grasp something in front of him.

The next moment, traces of energy and remnants of Man Chong's soul began to gather over his palm!

"I lost my composure momentarily and destroyed his soul origin almost completely..." Ling Tian smiled helplessly, but he had no regrets. Even if the same scene came up again, he would do the same thing again.

Ling Tian's spirit sense enveloped the remains of Man Chong's soul, refining this energy quickly as he tried to rescue as much information as possible that it had.

From the beginning, Ling Tian wanted to trap and refine Man Chong's soul to access his memories and secrets. In such a way, he would be able to know what was going on regarding the Heavenly Great Power Sect, as well as some other happenings in the world and the presences involved.

Precisely because of this, Ling Tian's power in the soul attacks were not so powerful and were easily countered by Man Chong despite being in his own Consciousness Sea. Ling Tian did not want to severely damage Man Chong's soul origin to avoid this current occurrence, so he moderated with his attacks and let Man Chong slightly take the upper hand, making him think that he was weaker than him.

"I hope I can get something..."

Ling Tian spoke in a low voice as he absorbed Man Chong's soul energy, wanting to gain some information.

His spirit sense refined the remnants of Man Chong's soul, easily absorbing all the energy in his knowledge sea and accessing his few memories.
