《The Legend of The Demon Prince》Chapter 8 : cultivating the fire element
Advertisement
The dragon flew away from the rocky region in the forest. As it was flying the torrents of wind blew away some trees. The region where it was just a moment away now had become clear of any trees. Emily was sitting in the rock crater, sobbing while her head was hidden under her hands and knees.
The dragon continued to fly for few minutes when it reached a mountain. The mountain had a big cave, enough to accommodate the dragon easily. It quietly went and lay there on its stomach. In another few minutes, snoring noise could be heard outside.
More than an hour had passed since that incident. Inside the dragon’s stomach lay a human body. The body was obviously of Kong Yue. But the most interesting fact was that it was totally unhurt. There wasn’t even a wound or blood. The body was surrounded by a golden light. It was then that the human opened his eyes.
“Where am I?” Yue cried out and stood up. He found himself in a dark region illuminated by a gold light which was surrounding him. He was stupefied. What was this light? How did he survive?
All kinds of question were going through his mind. When the dragon started shaking. The dragon muttered to himself,”Ah, why does it feel like my something is moving in my stomach?” But it didn’t pay any more attention and went back to slumber.
But this shaking shocked Yue. He realized that he was alive and inside the dragon itself. At first he thought that he is doomed, but he didn’t lose his will to live. He took a look at the weapons and other stuff with himself. The insides of stomach was a few meters large and was compressing and inflating periodically.

Yue decided that he couldn’t stay here long otherwise he would die surely. He couldn’t make sure that the light protecting him will be there forever so he had to make a move soon. He made a plan and took out his sword from his back.
Using the sword he tried to cut apart the stomach wall but how could the inside of a sky qi realm beast be weak. Even after using all his force he couldn’t do anything. He then tried to use the strongest slash he could attempt. The immortal execution slash. The slash left behind a small wound on the stomach wall. Seeing that wound from which blood was gushing out yue cheered up. Also this made the dragon awoke. The dragon roared in fury.
It roared, “Little shrimp, you are not dead?” Then it violently slammed its paw on its stomach. But the gold light protected Yue’s body. Yue once again slashed using the same techniques. After 3 slashes there was a big enough wound for yue to escape from its stomach. Coincidently the wound was made in the direction of the dragons head. Yue crawled into the wound and constantly slashed using all his might bringing huge suffering to the mighty dragon.
Even though the dragon was a sky qi realm beast how could it do anything now that yue was already inside his body? He couldn’t even spit or vomit him out. Otherwise he would have long ago killed yue ferociously.
Dragon roared in pain once again. All this while yue cheerfully slashed, made some way and crawled forward inside the dragons body and was soon near the dragon’s head. At this time dragon had gone crazy.
It roared as if it was about to die. It roared in agony that it might get killed by a mere human, it could kill with a mere glance. Yue was like a virus in its body. Even though he couldn’t do anything to dragon outside and could easily be killed but dragon could do nothing now and just wait for a chance for yue to move away from his vital organs. Once yue moved away it would produce a self-inflicted wound and kill yue immediately.

But yue as if by destiny, moved towards it brain. He was moving closer and closer and finally reached the skull bone. At that moment he slashed with all his might for hundreds of times and could create a small hole enough to barely let him enter. Once he was inside the skull yue slashed apart the gray matter and finally the dragon was dead.
A majestic being in the sky qi realm was dead just like that. Furthermore it was killed by a mere commoner brat! The dragon feel with a thump and lay down.
Even yue couldn’t believe at his success. He was overjoyed. But a small ball caught his attention. It was a red ball. Heat was radiating out of it and the sight was mesmerizing to the current yue.
Yue crawled in the direction of the ball. He stared at it for a few seconds before picking it up. The red ball was the core of the dragon. Where his soul resided and his memories and qi was stored. It could be said to be the dragon’s life itself. Currently a small dragon was soaring inside the core. It looked extremely weak and when yue picked it up the dragon looked frightened as if scared of something. The small dragon was the dragon soul.
It was quite awkward to see the soul being scared. But the instant yue touched the ball he had not noticed it anymore. He had closed his eyes and had a serious look on his face. Thousands of images were going through his mind. A small dragon was born. It was weak to the extreme. It grew up and become a sky qi realm beast. The memories stored all its insights regarding fire element. When yue saw these memories of dragons a change was happening inside his dantian. The previously dormant thing filling his dantian showed signs of moving. Soon the surface of it started to move and became red from grey.
It was then that yue opened his eyes and said, “I remember everything. How could I forget everything? I have to hurry!” But once he crawled out from the dragon’s body and checked his body’s condition he was surprised to find that he was much stronger now. His dantian had something filling it previously which was grey in color but now its surface was glowing red and yue could feel enormous amount of energy from it.
He felt the might of his dantian for first time. He felt the energy waves coming from inside and was shocked to the extreme. He almost unconsciously blurted out, “profound qi realm, 1st level!”

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...
