Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies Chapter 286
Advertisement
Ella's eyes were sharp, her lips threatening, and her intent ambiguous. Within the depths of her eyes, as she stared at this handsome, unknown man, she felt a faint light of superiority.
Emma's eyes were smiling and her eyes were cheerful, but the light within was clearer, a deep hatred and feeling of superiority within.
Yan Zaizen was taken aback by the two women. They were like two sides of a coin, like ebony and ivory, but within their core, they were still colors.
"Two first-floor Heavenly Genesis cultivators dare show such emotions?" Pinaka's voice contained deep displeasure and distaste for these two, she was even trying to leave Yan Zaizen's soul form to deliver a swift slap to both of them, but Yan Zaizen restrained her within his soul.
"No need to take action." As his soul energy was at the Perfect Astral Soul Realm, he could easily confide Pinaka, but he didn't dare do so too much. He appeased her with some words and turned his attention to the two.
Emma stepped forward, "Who are you?"
"My name is Yan Zaizen, a wandering cultivator that happened to come across your realm." He smiled warmly in response to her question, unafraid of answering truthfully.
"Then, wandering cultivator, you can take your leave." Emma maintained her smile as she seemingly politely gave Yan Zaizen a send-off, but in truth, it was exceptionally domineering order. Not only did she not call him by his name nor give him a respectful title, but she also didn't ask him to leave, just told him to.
Yan Zaizen's eyes flickered. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he emitted an aura of a weak, second-floor Heavenly Genesis cultivator - Lang Xue's. This aura was faint, but it caused the twin's expressions to change.
They weren't afraid, as their Realmlord had her own Dao, and Yan Zaizen's dao aura was similar to a bestowed one, but it still caused them to be cautious. "I think I'll stay for a while, if you don't mind."
Not even seeing how they would respond, Yan Zaizen turned into a comet and shot towards his makeshift cultivation cavern.
Yan Zaizen didn't put the two in his mind, but Pinaka was different. "Kill them both, their eyes begs for blood and death!" She didn't just dislike them for their previous actions but their eyes seemed to contain a vicious light. It's highly possible these women were like Guan Yao, consuming the primal yang of male cultivators for their strength.

However, Yan Zaizen didn't take action, but only because of curiosity and personal beliefs. "They are grindstones for my disciples; I need them around." Yan Zaizen calmly stated, silencing Pinaka. If Amy and Damian wished to enter the strong, they would have to overcome these two, and it'll likely be their first challenge towards the heavenly way. However, while Yan Zaizen had plans for them, they too had plans for Yan Zaizen.
Ella's aura flared, her heavenly shrine's outline was faintly visible within her dantian. "If you don't wish to leave, then you can stay here. Permanently." With a swift wave of her hand, she produced a red short sword.
"Oh?" Yan Zaizen was startled, turning abruptly with eyes filled with shock. Before he could say anything, Ella had already executed a movement art that caused the surrounding area to become packed with manifestations of small swords. As she traveled, a dense river of these short swords seemed to be created, leaving an astonishingly beautiful trail in space.
Ella saw the shock in her eyes and sped her, her sword emanating a deep killing intent. She drew back her blade, arriving a few hundred meters away from Yan Zaizen before slashing out with a slight exclamation.
"Ha!"
A crescent sword light comprised of true essence sliced forth, even space itself was lacerated by this blade. This level of display was quite normal for heavenly cultivators, but it seemed to be slightly stronger than average.
"Why do all heavenly cultivators in their realms have to be so aggressive?" Yan Zaizen couldn't help but bitterly smile. He intended to use the two as whetstones for his disciples, but they had attacked with the utmost confidence and ferocity. "Fine." He was about to tap out when suddenly a cage of sword energy surrounded him. This cage wasn't huge, barely capable of containing his body, but it formed near instantly.
Yan Zaizen's brows furrowed as he turned his gaze towards Emma, who smiled a bit away with a talisman in the shape of a tiny sword in her hand. This sword glimmered with a faint trace of light and it seemed to be in control of the realm's formations.
"Haaa…" He sighed deeply. The crescent sword light soon arrived and drowned him in its power.
"Ha!" Ella didn't cease her assault, slicing forth several dozen more crescent sword lights. Before long, Yan Zaizen's figure vanished within a world of sword light.
A few seconds later, after the sword light had dissipated, the two investigated Yan Zaizen's status, but more so, they were intent on taking any possessions he may have. However, as they swept their heavenly sense about, they couldn't find a damaged heavenly shrine or any spatial possessions.

"..." Emma and Ella were silent, a faint premonition of calamity surged within their minds suddenly.
"Your actions are unruly, prejudiced, aggressive, and above all, idiotic." Yan Zaizen appeared behind them, his eyes radiating traces of displeasure. Initially, his intent was to use the two as whetstones for his disciples, but if he allowed this to go unpunished, would he deserve his dao?!
Emma and Ella turned around, their eyes were cautious but still radiated a sense of confidence and aggression. It seemed they believed that, if they continued, they would be able to overcome Yan Zaizen. As Yan Zaizen was shocked by their persistent gazes, their auras erupted into a storm of sword energy. Their auras merged, strengthening, as if they were one entity. Their heavenly aura was rising, infinitesimally closed to the second-floor Heavenly Genesis Realm.
Shaking his head slightly, Yan Zaizen tapped out. He only tapped out once, but his aura erupted revealing an astonishing heavenly aura at the top-tier sixth-floor Heavenly Genesis Realm. It was only then that Ella and Emma's eyes shifted, no longer containing that unyielding and unreasonable confidence, instead was replaced with deep fright.
It was like a drop of water was facing an entire world of water, it was overwhelmingly!
They wanted to speak, but Yan Zaizen didn't care. His finger that tapped out once more, the space around their bodies was sealed as a result. They were like toys sealed perfectly in plastic, unable to move or speak. "Choose. Death or Life."
Usually, Yan Zaizen would give more thorough choices, but he felt pissed at this point. He was close to eliminating them entirely, but he thought of his disciples and thought it was inappropriate and interfered with his plans.
Ella and Emma's eyes were wide. Within the depths of which was pure fear and horror, but when Yan Zaizen gave them a choice, their eyes that were a world of fear became filled with hope.
"Life!" Almost simultaneously, they sent a soul transmission to inform Yan Zaizen of their choices. Yan Zaizen nodded, giving them a slight praise for their decisiveness. If they were truly lost, unable to deal with the humiliation of bowing their heads to a man, then they would surely choose death. In that case, then he would do so unhesitantly.
"Your heavenly shrine, your primal yin, and your possessions. This is the price for your actions." His words were soft but domineering beyond the heavens, as if it was an imperial decree from a god.
He tapped out once. Their heavenly shrines were ripped from their dantians. The pain they suffered was unbearable. If they could speak verbally, they would most definitely be screaming while squirming.
He tapped out once more. A profoundly powerful soul energy entered their bodies. Yan Zaizen didn't intend to physically snatch their primal yin, but extracting it for his own means. Luckily, since they were still virgins, their bodies primal yin may recover. "To live for so long yet not understanding the bliss between man and woman, truly unfortunate." He shook his head for a bit, then stopped.
Wait, did he even know the bliss between man and woman? Did his soul link with Pinaka count?
"..." Realizing his own unfortunate fate, he felt a little downcast, but then he recalled Pinaka's beauty and how he would most certainly find a body for her, he felt enlivened.
He tapped out once more, all the possessions within their spatial possessions and heavenly shrines were extracted. This tap didn't just affect them, but it even reached into the palace on their planet. Before long, it was wiped clean and even the heavenly resources prepared for their leader's breakthrough was snatched as punishment.
"You may leave." He didn't even tap out this time, only said these words, and their bodies vanished. When they reappeared, they were within the cultivation grounds of their Realmlord.
"Their fates are now their own." With that, he took off.
He continued flying until he reached the makeshift cavern, his eyes glowing with interest. Amy was surrounded by dense wood energy, siphoned from the world. Her essence was slowly converting into wood-attribute.
Damian, however, was still reading and trying to comprehend. Yan Zaizen nodded, accepting this result. Amy had already cultivated methods before, turning her essence into wood-attribute, hailing from the Grove Clan who specialized in it. She also had hundreds of years on her belt, whereas Damian had nothing.
"It won't be long before she reaches the Essence Formation Realm," Yan Zaizen commented.
Entering the cavern, the two stopped their respective cultivations, whether it was reading or converting qi to essence, and looked towards Yan Zaizen nearly simultaneously. In their eyes were lights of excitement.
"Let's go to our own realm, the Divine Duality Realm. Our home."

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
