Chapter 1: Betrayers on the battlefield

    In the Lushan mainland commonly known as the 8th heaven, only strength and talent can earn respect. The strong are high above, overlooking everything and everyone, while the weak are desperate to live!

Companion beast is the inborn beast of martial arts cultivators. They can gain more fighting power through their companion beast.

There are various kinds of companion beast, which can be divided into nine levels from one star companion beast to nine stars with one star being the lowest grade. Once the companion beast is born, his rating can not be changed unless with some rare treasures. But the rating can be raised only once in the life of a companion beast and by at most 3 stars.

In the ancient legends, there are some companion beasts which can break free from the level restraints and attain the 10 stars rating.

……….

Tianlong mainland, Forbidden desert

       For thousand of years, the war between the human race and the devil race never stopped and the devils were increasing their territory on the nine heavens. But the emperor of nine realms unified each territory of the nine heaven and use this opportunity to drove the devils to their original realm: The devil realm. In the last battlefield to seal the void corridor between the nine heaven and the devil realm in the depths of the gloomy desert, the emperor of nine realms Long Chen was on a fierce battle against the demon lord.

« Demon lord Verpalis, you are no longer in a to fight against me. If you don’t want to die, return to the devil realm and I won’t pursue this matter anymore » Emperor Long Chen finally cried out with a dignified expression.

The almost exhausted demon lord replied with a sinister tone « Even if I’m at my limit, you have run out of qi to use any other techniques. Moreover, I’ll be the final winner ». At that moment, Long Chen felt an ominous bloodlust from behind and instinctively tried dodge the sneak attack. However, he sustained a large wound from the dagger.

« You…! Why? Why did you betray me, Hongtian? » cried out Long Chen trying to catch his breath.

« Hahahah, so what if I betray you? Did you really think of me as a friend when you took the supreme level cultivation method for yourself many years aga in the ancient ruins? Did you really think that by tossing some treasures at us, I would forget? Today, you will die, and I will retrieve the cultivation method from your corpse. » Hongtian laughed out.

« Did you think this small injury could allow you to kill me? And even if I gave you the technique, you won’t be able to cultivate. » replied Long Chen in a disappointed tone.

« I know very well that you are a tough nu to crack but the soul poison on the dagger is enough to weaken you for a moment. And did you really think that i was the only wanting to kill you? » mocked Hongtian.

At the moment Hongtian finished his sentence, a long red whip sword pierced through Long Chen’s heart. He turned his head in disbelief because he recognized the sword he offered his wife for her birthday.

« Long Chen, even if I am wife, I never cared about you, and you were so naive. Even so you never let me touch or see the technique you obtained in the ancient ruins however I asked or begged you. The supreme level technique is not something that a person with peasant background like you should possess. Did you really think I would love someone with a worthless bloodline like yours » declared Ye Qingling with a disgusted expression.

« If not for your powerful companion beast, did you really think you beat everyone in the nine heavens? It is pity that it is not possible to snatch someone else companion beast otherwise I would have stripped you of your precious Abyssal dragon. Hahahah …….! » exclaimed Qingling with an annoyed face.

« If I have the chance to reincarnate, remember this " If you do good to me, I’ll repay tenfold but if you betray me, you will suffer thousandfold " » Long Chen shouted in a serious and murderous tone.

« What can you do even if you reincarnate? I will become the only empress. you are now worthless. » replied Qingling.

« Hahahaha……. Yes, you are right. But I won’t be the only one dying here. » laughed Long Chen.

Long Chen executed complicated hand signs, and everyone began to feel a powerful energy. The Demon lord was the first to flee the moment he felt the soul fluctuation.

« Qingling, kill him before he finishes, or we will all die! » cried out Hongtian with an expression full of fear.

« Too late. "I BURN MY SOUL TO HEAVEN AND EARTH TO BORROW THE POWER TO ELIMINATE ALL EVIL”, "JUGEMENT SWORD SLASH " » Long Chen Cried loudly to the sky.

The sky was split open, and a ten thousand feet light sword fell from the sky. All the devil on the ground were burned to ashes. Qingling defended herself with all the defensives treasures she possessed and barely escaped. But Hongtian lost an arm in the process. After the dust was cleared Long Chen’s body fell to the ground and turned into ashes living only a broken sword and his space ring.

Approaching with a satisfied look on her face, Qingling took the space ring and erased Long Chen soul lock on it. She searched inside the space ring and then discovered the jade slip containing the «Supreme chaos absorption sutra ». She was overjoyed and was very curious at what kind of treasure this supreme level cultivation method was. After inspecting the technique carefully, she shouted in anger:

« Damn Long Chen ! You deceive people too much. Even after your death, I can’t even have my share! »

Hongtian who was out of breath due to the injuries and his cut-off arm asked with a doubtful expression:

« Qingling ! What is wrong that made you so angry. Don’t tell me it is not the supreme level method! I won’t believe you. I personally saw Long Chen put the technique in his space ring this morning just before our departure. Son, don’t try to fool me? »

« Don’t you want to cultivate this method ? You can cultivate it. I don’t need it anymore. Catch it! » declared Qingling to Hongtian while tossing the Jade slip to him.

With a surprised expression, Hongtian caught the Jade slip. He used his divine sense to read the technique. After one breath of time, a shocked expression appeared on his face. He was so shocked that he coughs blood out of hunger.

« I am not reconciled ! All those years of preparation for nothing. I even lost my right arm. Who would be stupid enough to waste his own cultivation in order to cultivate this shit. I still prefer my two hundred years of cultivation. Damn Long Chen! He never let out a word about this » shouted Hongtian to the sky while crushing the Jade slip.
