《Celestial Journey》149] - [Prevention]
Advertisement
Stranded in a world of silver, Alexander faced the storm. An innate terror striking his very soul!
The Heart Demon suddenly vanished, drifting alongside the gust of wind, a trail of dark smoke circling around him. Voices of the past, visions of futile dreams, all bounced around him.
Yet, he could not feel the drive to indulge in any of them. As there was a bigger problem near him.
Fully turning around, the giant eyeball only grew ever since its initial appearance. It was now thousands of times bigger than Alexander himself. The pupil stared at him like the reaper. And as it soon finished growing, looking down on him, the blue eye crackled with lightning.
Veins bulging across his entire body, Alexander directly burned his lifespan, pressing ahead with a palm.
His silver aura surging to the Heavens, it felt like a small thread when faced with the eye. Even a casual lightning bolt from it was multiple times thicker than his own pillar of might.
"This motherfucking demon! I won't let you go scot free from this! I will make you pay!!" His arm fully extended, a giant palm of silver pressed forward.
Meeting it, a random spark of blue lightning caused it to evaporate, shrills of a banshee left in his head.
"Do I really have to start all over again?!" His eyes losing a shade of sublimity, Alexander found himself at a dead end!
Would his secret techniques even help him in here? Would he be able to escape with his soul in a place like this?
He was left in the unknown.
Interrupting his words, the eye showed hostility. Even without Alexander attacking it, it already knew. Alexander spoke of the taboo word with incredible fervor and determination. There was no denying his words any longer.
To declare such a statement... the eye was appalled.
The Heavens were stricken with grief. How could one if its creations dare to defy it? After all of its work, trying to help him... was it how the Heavens were rewarded? With a sinner?
Locked in place, the space around him turn viscous. Alexander, no matter how much he struggled, saw no hope of escaping these clutches.
"Fuck you!!!" Opening his mouth wide, veins popped all around his neck. From his mouth, silence descended, obliterating the meaning of sound. And with a blinding white light, the strange world rumbled.
The light fading away, Alexander stared at the eyeball in resignation. No matter how many lasers his eyes sent or how many martial arts he used, the eye would not care in the slightest.
After an eternity waiting, he saw said eyeball make its move.
Its pupil turned blue as sparks flew about erratically. The silence from his [Silent World] erased, the sounds of bells rang in his ears. He heard thunderous roars of heavenly lightning within his mind. The long forgotten dynasties and empires from across the eras appeared. All were smitten out of nowhere.

Cracks spreading across his skin, Alexander saw his black veins resurface before being blown apart right after.
Coldly staring at the eyeball, Alexander saw his bones be deprived of their dear flesh. He was on the verge of collapsing for eternity. Yet, he looked on with calmness.
'So I'll have to escape again...' Sighing heavily inside, he already prepared a soul escaping technique. But, before he could use it, the strange world shook.
Looking down on his neck, a pendant shone an incredibly bright silver. He could suddenly hear the chants of immortal fairies and war deities. The drums of war clashed with the gentle voice of peace.
In between him and the Eye of Heaven, Alexander saw a giant silver palm take shape. It was very similar to his own, except for the power and Dao infused within. It contained only the appearance of his palm, but not the means.
This palm was obviously from the pendant Elder Rong gave him. Even in this strange world full of spirituality, it could still be of use.
As for the Eye of Heaven, it was enraged. However, what could it do? The palm was twice its size already! As for the power inside, it was worthy of its grandeur by a longshot. Compared with the blue lightning, this palm held the power of Supremacy, a Dao above all others. A Dao even the Heavens needed to thread cautiously around.
The sounds of immortals clashed with the ones of bells. The Eye of Heaven was suddenly struck by the giant palm head on. A shockwave exploded from the impact, severing the strange world in two. The silver glow of the entire dimension fluctuated. And with a grunt, Alexander felt a tremendous pain assault his mind.
'Fuck! It's really in my head!' While it was not in his head per say, it was actually way worse. Alexander now had a clash between entities around the Calamity Enduring Realm or even above inside his very own mind. It was a place much more dangerous than the soul. Such a clash would leave deep gushing wounds for the foreseeable future.
'I might even become a retard at the rate this goes on!' Unfortunately, he could not do anything.
'This lowly bitch of a demon! Don't you get caught by me! You'll fucking regret it!'
Gnashing his teeth in frustration, Alexander watched on as two titans far above his level competed. And as he saw the faint battle develop, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Following his relaxation, the eyeball was suppressed. The palm caused it to fall back, the pressure bending the eye like a rubber ball. And with a loud burst, the eye was sent flying far away across the silver horizon, its structure slowly collapsing. The blue lightning around it crackled less and less while its white and blue colors turned darker. Its vitality was drained as if it aged eons in a mere moment.

Withered in the blink of an eye, it began to slowly dissipate like ashes facing the gale.
As for the palm, it unfortunately kept going and crashed into a hard wall after a long time, forcing Alexander to clutch his head in pain.
"Fuck!!!!"
Screaming from the terrifying, seemingly eternal suffering, Alexander briefly opened his eyes. When he looked in direction of the Eye of Heaven, now withered like no other, he saw blue.
"What the-" Cut short, his eyes were blinded by a sudden blue light while a tremor snapped his body into pieces, sent spinning into the air furiously. His face was distorted, his eyes lost in motion, hoping to find a safe haven somewhere. But to no avail.
Before he could recover, his body was petrified, convulsing incessantly.
Without realizing it, the Eye of Heaven had launched a last ditch attack, a blue lightning bolt with the power to erase reality striking Alexander directly in the face!
Without a sound, his figure collapsed limply.
.
.
.
A cross-legged Alexander of waning vigor, the clash of four colors ended. The black faded away, absorbed by his heart, while the blue sacrificed itself for the greater good, sabotaging his vessel. The silver and white auras clashed for a while before subsiding.
Left behind was an electrified, haggard Alexander. With a soft commotion, he fell on his side, rolling over on his back unconscious.
His eyelids were slightly opened, a strangely white, opaque haze in his eyes. It was like a fog covered their former splendor. The lost of clarity within them apparent.
A door slammed open, Elder Rong rushed to his side.
"Even my pendant wasn't good enough?!" Having anticipated this problem, Elder Rong prepared this protective artifact. It contained one full powered blow form him that could even work in spiritual places. No matter if it was a normal person or a ghost, it should have worked properly.
For something to have somehow opposed the blow of a peak Calamity Enduring Realm master as a trial for a junior, it was unimaginable.
Elder Rong's palm should have been enough to force the hand of even a first stage Heaven Surpassing Realm powerhouse. Yet it failed like this? Not only so, but Alexander was left in shambles!
Taking out a clear glass like pill containing a revolving, endless mist, Elder Rong fed it to Alexander.
"A supreme pill won't cut it I think, but let's hope it does." When inspecting Alexander, Elder Rong saw him unresponsive, his mouth and eyes loose alongside the rest of his limp body. His vitality was still there, but showed damage. Especially his Dantian.
Having forcefully pried into his body, Elder Rong noticed Alexander's lifespan to have been exhausted ever so slightly. This meant that Alexander probably used his lifespan in exchange for strength.
"Was it the Eye of Heaven? Other than that, I can't really think of something else..." Unknowingly hitting the nail right on the head, Elder Rong carefully placed Alexander inside the black coffin.
"Should be better than being like a mop on the floor..."
Looking around in hopes of finding a miracle solution, Elder Rong's gaze fell, leaving Alexander as he headed for another place.
'In case the supreme pill doesn't work, might as well get one of my favors back from someone.' Heading for the sect's life hall, Elder Rong's connections were about to finally be of use.
.
.
.
Inside a large hall of bronze and vines, a beam of light flashed by at lightning speed. It broke through arrays and guards, arriving into the deepest parts of this structure without batting an eye.
"What gives this junior the pleasure of meeting with senior Rong?" A gentle woman of long curly lime hair and white robes spoke to the void. Her desk, woven by sparse sunlight, faced a set of closed dark wooden doors.
"Junior Sonia, this old man is in need of assistance! I have given you many favors as an elder of the sect, so I hope that you can pay one of them back to me today!"
From a sudden ripple in the air, Elder Rong emerged like a fish leaping out of water.
Bowing slightly, Sonia gleefully smiled.
"This junior doesn't mind! What does senior Rong need?" Ignoring her green lips, Elder Rong flung his sleeve.
"My disciple is in critical condition! His mind might have received tremendous injuries, do you think you can help him?" His words carried the flow of order and chaos, prickling her Dao Heart.
"Junior can only try! But, can I bring my assistant? She needs experience in the field."
Gloom overtaking his face, Elder Rong was not too happy about her attitude.
'You dare bargain with me right now? You're lucky he's in danger!'
"It's fine! But we have to go now, I won't wait any longer!" Turning around, the air rippled once more as he vanished. Left behind were a few words.
"Take this space channel, I don't have time to guide you."
Nodding slowly, Sonia rang a small bell before a young woman rushed in. The both of them then entered the ripples, being teleported to Elder Rong's abode.

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!
