《King Of All Heavens》Chapter 17: Outnumbered.
Advertisement
The golden Qi rope turned black. Wang Tian was slowly freed from his restrictions. He cautiously looked around and when he saw that the beautiful lady still hasn't returned, he made a run for it. Wang Tian run towards the deeper parts of this underground tunnel. He really didn't have any choice. The beautiful lady
was blocking his way to freedom. Unless he wanted to surrender himself again to that monster, he would find another way to escape no matter what.
Wang Tian is now more then 500meters away from his previous location. Like what he usually does, he infused his feet with the Dark Qi and he exploded with power and speed.
As Wang Tian went deeper into the tunnel, he started to notice that the pressure was getting more and more intense. It was like something much more powerful than that beautiful lady was down there. The beautiful lady was far more powerful than him. He couldn't even resist her powers. He could only look at her with anger as she mercilessly beat him to a pulp. Fortunately for him, he has the mysterious Dark Qi which helped him escape. However, the entity down there was so powerful that even the aura that it unconsciously released was pressuring Wang Tian. Just from this, one could tell that the difference between the cultivation base of the entity down there and the beautiful lady was like that of heaven and earth.
Wang Tian released his Dark Qi to handle the pressure and then continued down. He felt hesitant at first but he had no other choice.
...
'Huh?' the beautiful lady felt something was wrong.
She spread out her divine sense and in an instant, it reached towards the place where she left Wang Tian. 'The brat is gone?' she thought to herself.
'Impossible! My Qi is something that is far from what a Xiantian lifeform can handle! How could he have possible escaped??' she continued.
She picked up her pace while the elders that she captured floated and followed behind her.
After a few minutes, she arrived at her den.
She didn't find anything unusual other than the fact that Wang Tian was not present.
"Dammit! That insolent brat! How could he have escaped?!" She roared and yelled.
She turned towards the elders to vent her rage towards them and one by one she consumed them. Elder Li was not an exception. They knew that they couldn't escape and could only watch as each of them were devoured. Those elders that were charmed by this beautiful girl died with a smile on their faces. They didn't know that they were being eaten nor did they feel any pain as they were munched down by the beautiful girl.
She was thinking to herself as she ate. 'If the brat isn't here, then where could he have gone? Oh! I see! He must have went deeper towards the Brother third That guy is a bit odd but i doubt he'll let the brat live. I would go there now and it would take me not even a second but I would be scolded at if I neglected my duty. These humans right here are a testimony that there might be others of their kind that might come. Hence, i shall guard here and fulfill my duty as the second guardian. I can always collect his body from Brother third since Brother third doesn't eat them.'

...
The time it takes an incense stick to burn has passed. Wang Tian was running out of Dark Qi. 'At this rate, I won't have any Qi to defend myself!' He thought gloomily.
He started to slow down the speed at which he infused Dark Qi into his feet. Naturally, his speed also slowed down. In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn has passed. Wang Tian abruptly stopped when he saw a big golem standing firm while holding a sword. It was blocking the way towards deeper parts of this tunnel. 'Why is this golem blocking the way? Is there something located at the deepest parts of the tunnel that's worth protecting? Could there be a treasure? Or legacy?' Wang Tian thought it was odd that he met a very strong expert like the beautiful lady and now this big golem. They all came from this direction. He recalled that in his past life, he has read novels that has similarities to this world that he is in. He remembered that in this part of the story, where the mc gets trapped in an unknown location, there probably is something like a treasure or a legacy of some sorts hidden in this location. 'Could there really be a treasure?' Wang Tian thought to himself and his eyes glittered with expectation.
He walked towards the golem slowly. The golem opened its eyes. The golem was silver in color. The eyes of the golem was gold in color. When it opened, it looked at Wang Tian with an interested gaze.
Wang Tian felt intense pressure when the golem looked at him. It was as if he couldn't hide anything from this golem. He felt like the phrase, "The eyes are the windows to the soul" quite true.
'A Xiantian lifeform child? What is this little one doing here? Furthermore, his left eye... They're of that tribe.' The golem thought to itself.
"Child, I am the third guardian of my master's tomb. You can not pass unless I give you my permission." The golem said. Unlike the sly beautiful lady monster, this golem was quite straightforward.
'Third guardian? Tomb of its master? I've found a jackpot!' Wang Tian realized that his guess was correct! This place really was a location which there were treasures!
Wang Tian raised his head with great difficulty and asked the golem,
"Third guardian? You mean that beautiful lady monster was also a guardian of this place?"
"Beautiful lady monster? Ah yes. Sister Second. Yes, she is also a guardian of this place." The golem furrowed its brows when it heard what Wang Tian called its Sister Second.
Wang Tian contemplated for a bit. 'if that beautiful lady monster was the second guardian, who's the first? Well, that's not important right now.'
'A being as powerful as the beautiful lady monster and this golem was tasked to guard this place. How powerful would that someone have to be to be able to convince these entities to be a guard?!'

"Your master is the owner of this place?" Wang Tian asked the golem.
The golem looked deep into Wang Tian. Wang Tian felt aching all over his body.
"Yes, my master is the owner of this place. It has been almost ten thousand years since he made this place and since then, countless cultivators much more powerful than you have entered this place. In hopes of getting my master's possessions." The golem said with a hint of sorrow in his tone. He deeply missed his master but more so the freedom that he had when his master was alive and in his prime. He and his master along with all of the other guardians roamed the universe unobstructed! His master was an existence that was not to be trifled with!
Authors note: let's change "It" to "He". The golem is a male now.
"Ten thousand years?!" Wang Tian exclaimed in shock. This golem has been here for almost ten thousand years?!
The golem didn't reply and just looked at him. After a few moments, Wang Tian regained his composure.
"How can I gain your permission?" Wang Tian asked the golem. He had no other choice. Either to do what the golem says or get eaten by that beautiful lady monster.
The golem didn't reply. He waved his hands and in an instant, a golem that looked exactly like Wang Tian rose from the ground. Wang Tian felt surprised when he saw this. The golem Wang Tian charged towards him full power. Wang Tian flicked his sleeve and then the calcite sword that his father gave him appeared in his hands.
He brandished his sword and then sliced his opponent into two. However, his sword was repelled. It was as if he hit something as hard as rock. Oh wait, his opponent really was a rock! Wang Tian didn't get discouraged when he saw that the golem wasn't the least bit damaged by his strikes. He followed up with a dozen more slashes and then finally, the golem Wang Tian crumbled. Just as Wang Tian was about to heave a sigh of relief, two more arose from the ground.
'These golems are pretty tough but they don't have my invincibility' Wang Tian thought to himself with a smile.
He continued slashing apart his golem counterparts. Oftentimes, Wang Tian was hit by his opponent's fist. However, the pain that his opponents inflicted to him wasn't comparable to the pain that that beautiful lady monster caused him! In fact, it was dishonorable to mention the two in the same sentence! That's why Wang Tian didn't cease to hack his opponents.
After two whole hours, there were now 256 of his golem counterparts!
The Golem Guardian looked at Wang Tian with surprise in his eyes. 'This little kid could withstand the blows of his golem counterparts and has managed to put up for two whole hours??! Furthermore, his body doesn't look injured! There are no bruises, no broken bones and there wasn't even any blood spilled! Those experts that came here before him couldn't even survive one tenth the amount that he has battled. Could he be the person that will become my new master?'
Wang Tian's body was now very fatigued. He has constantly circulated his Dark Qi slowly as he fought to lessen the pain and fatigue that he felt. Right now, his Dark Qi was about to run out.
'Shit! What am I supposed to do now! My Qi is running out!' Wang Tian thought to himself. He broke into cold sweat at the thought of him experiencing another beating. And this time, there were 256 golems that were ready to beat him into a pulp!
"That's enough. You have proven yourself worthy of gaining my permission to pass." The voice of the Golem Guardian reverberated across the tunnel. He waved his palm and in an instant, the 256 golem Wang Tians crumbled.
Wang Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. His body collapsed in an instant. Wang Tian fainted from the fatigue.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed. Wang Tian was asleep during this period. It seems that he was really really exhausted when his fight with the golems ended.
Wang Tian slowly opened his eyes and then groaned in pain. His body was aching all over. He slowly got up and then looked towards his surroundings.
"So you're awake now" the Guardian Golem said.
Wang Tian nodded and then he looked towards his father's sword. His heart ached when he saw the appearance of the sword. It had chips all over its body. It no longer had the same elegance and oppressing aura that it used to have. It was in a very sorry shape.
"Father, Tian'er is a bad boy. He has ruined your sword" he exclaimed with a hint of longing in his voice. He missed his father so badly. Even though Wang Gui really wasn't his father, the warmth that Wang Gui made him feel, made Wang Tian see him as his father. He never had a father that cared for him in his past life.
Wang Tian chuckled bitterly and then stored the sword back into his bag of holding. Wang Tian looked at the golem and said, "Am I qualified to pass through now?".
"You are. Go ahead." The Golem Guardian looked at him. The Golem Guardian opened the way and looked at Wang Tian with expectation in his eyes.
Wang Tian nodded towards the Golem Guardian and then continued his journey. Now that he only had a tiny bit of Qi left, he can only resign himself to fate and walk.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.
