The Story Never Ends

"Stop!" He ordered and the women immediately backed away while lowering their heads.

Next, he tore the space ahead of him, and a passageway was formed in the air. He then jumped into it.

​​

"Bang"

He landed on the floor and looked at the place ahead of him with a solemn look on his face. It was a chamber where four large coffins were kept in the middle. They were bounded by thick steel chains radiating dangerous aura.

However, one of them was shaking violently and even leaking some flames from it.

"It\'s unbelievable that you still managed to escape from all that," he muttered and pointed his index finger on the coffin.

White clouds of smoke covered it, and it stopped shaking.

Seeing this, he withdrew his finger and thought, "I was sure I finished his soul. But it seems like he still hasn\'t died."

"Should I have destroyed his tribe too? Nonetheless, from what I have heard that tribe perished a hundred years ago." He was confused.

"It\'s useless to think about it. Perhaps I can track this flame." He approached the coffin and put his hands over the cloud.

He closed his eyes and focused. But his expression changed in an instant as he felt the flames disappearing from the coffin.

"This.." he waved his hand, and the clouds vanished in the air.

He saw the coffin staying in its place normally without anything strange happening to it.

"Is this a joke?" He was furious.

"The only thing I managed to know is that he isn\'t in this world but rather the human world."

***

"What is this?"

His whole body burned and a phantom of a humongous red tiger appeared behind his back. Not only that, he could hear some odd voices coming from the tiger.

"Where am I? How many years has it been?"

"This is not where I had left it."

"Moreover, there is something wrong with this body. It is trying to absorb me."

"I have to get out."

All of a sudden, the pain Davion was feeling surged, and he could see the tiger tattoo slowly coming out from his skin.

"Ahh-"

"Did that old man fool me?" He cried out. But inwardly he was sure that this was not the case because the tiger behind him was a completely different one and seemed to be an ancestor of that old man.

If only the tattoo left, this would end straight away. But his giant body prevented it from happening as the defensive mechanism of his body kicked in automatically.

His spiritual energy was being consumed at a rapid speed, and his body began healing. Nonetheless, this was not enough as the flames were far more powerful and were still burning. So, every cell in his body hungrily took in all the aura in the surroundings and tried to repair itself.

This was the true strength of the Heavenly Body Reforging Technique. Since everything in Heavens and Earth could be absorbed with this art, the tiger made of flames behind his back was no different.

"No.." The tiger found itself being pulled into this body. Thus, it used every ounce of its strength to run away.

"BOOM"

A devastating explosion took place, and one could see a pillar of fire rising all the way to the sky.

"It\'s good that you\'ve all returned. We were worried about you."

The elders patted the shoulders of their respective disciples and checked their injuries. Those who were hurt were treated without hesitation, and the all-right ones explained what had occurred.

"Oh! So, he saved you all. Who could have thought that he would be this strong?" The elders were surprised.

"What a virtuous disciple. You have to thank him later on," Warren reminded the disciple on his side.

"I will." It was a young man standing infront of him.

Listening to this the other elders understood where he was getting at. He was simply trying to form a good relationship with him by giving him some benefits.

"Shameless." The other elders thought and suggested to their disciples the same. After all, how could they lose their face infront of him? Even though they didn\'t have a good impression of him due to Elder Liliana, they didn\'t care about this now as they were also grateful to him.

"Humm, but where is Bryant?" One of the elders finally noticed this.

"Eh! Don\'t tell me he fell into some trouble?"

The elders had an ugly look on their faces. Just imagining how the Sect Master would react made them have cold sweats.

"That disciple is also missing."

"Let\'s find them." The elders made up their minds and rushed into the sky. However, they hadn\'t even flown a few meters away when they saw destructive flames filling up the sky.

"This power is definitely above the Nascent Soul Stage." This matter seemed much more serious than that of Bryant.

"I will go check there. You all go after Bryant." Without waiting for their response, he dashed off in that direction.

"A mere beast. You dare!" Davion opened his huge mouth and started swallowing everything around him. He didn\'t even bother whether he would suffer from internal injuries or not. He wanted to see the limits of the Heavenly Body Reforging Technique.

"What did you call me?" The tiger became shell-shocked as it couldn\'t believe what it heard. How can an expert be humiliated in this way?

"Humph!" Davion didn\'t reply and continued with what he was doing.

"Damn, then tell me how you got that mark." The tiger asked. Many years ago, it had left this mark, in which it had sealed a part of its consciousness and blood in the ancestral hall of its tribe. This would be to help in the cultivation of its descendants and protect them if a disaster occurred.

The disaster was also meant for itself as it wanted to occupy the body of its descendants if something happened to it. But who knows how its mark was in the body of this weird human right now? This person was also the reason behind its awakening. Actually, it had desired to emerge when it had gathered enough energy to protect itself. However, this person disrupted everything as he harvested its energy.

Davion still didn\'t say anything and focused on his task. He knew that there was no going back. In addition to this, he didn\'t want to let go of this tattoo. After all, it had a way to go to the Demon Beast World.

The tiger became furious when it saw being disrespected like this.

"If I was at my peak state, taking care of him would be like crushing an ant. But now I can forget about it," It panicked.

A while later, Warren reached there and scanned everything with his Divine Sense but didn\'t sense a single soul. Only a shattered terrain was ahead of him as everything had been burnt to death.

"There is only a single type of energy here. So, it means that nobody fought here. Did someone break through?" The Domain Realm experts had such sharp senses that he nearly guessed what might have taken place here.

"Anyways, they are not here. It\'s good news. If we could just feel those tokens, it would have been easier," he sighed. He knew only Liliana and Sect Master could track them. But both have gone into seclusion.

On the other side, the elders had similar thoughts and were finding it difficult to locate them. Nevertheless, one of the elders suddenly perceived someone on the ground.

"Look! Isn\'t that Bryant?"

This caught their attention and glanced there simultaneously. They saw a young man sneakily moving on the ground.

"Yes, indeed, it\'s him."

"But why isn\'t he flying?"

The elders descended and curiously looked at him.

"Elders!" Bryant exclaimed and became happy. Due to the earlier fight, he had lost all his artifacts. So, he was scared to catch their attention and get beaten up. This was why he was even scared to fly.

"Humm, isn\'t that masked disciple with you?" Elder Nelson asked.

Bryant shook his head as he didn\'t know.

"Did something happen to him?" Bryant didn\'t understand why they were after him.

"You will know when you will return," Nelson replied.

Bryant was about to ask something when they heard some footsteps promptly coming from their sides.

They looked there and saw a person wearing a mask nearing them.

"You.." The elders reacted instantly when they saw him. But they were not sure whether this person was the one they were looking for or not. This was because he had dark red hair and pupils instead of the ones they had seen previously. Along with it, his aura seemed to become wilder and hotter. Even they felt some threat coming from him.

"Greetings elders. I just had a breakthrough." Davion bowed.

"Is that so?" The elders became a bit suspicious as to how one can become so different in just an hour.

Davion nodded. He knew that something like this would happen. Nonetheless, he was sure that they wouldn\'t even dare to scan him with their Divine Sense as Elder Liliana was behind him. Even if they scanned, they wouldn\'t find anything unusual.
