Poison God's Heritage

"Don't go overthinking there, Oldest Night, no one had smuggled a titan to the Vast Expanse," the Wisest Sun shrugged, although it was a partial lie.

After all, there was a Titan's descendant in the Vast Expanse. The Golden Titan, and Shen Bao's master of the Golden Titan's arts. Yet, the arts of the Golden Titan were too different than the Titan's Art of Battle. After all, these titans here were too strong and refused to grow and evolve.

But the Golden Titan who was at his peak an Emperor Stage cultivator, who had lived with humans all his life had learned to discard the proud nature of the titans, and evolved his stagnant art and morphed it into the Fist of Roaring Ki.

With this, Shen Bao was able to learn that mystic art and grow far stronger. And now the Darkest Sun is doubting his own eyes.

"This is too far to be a coincidence, he even has the ability to become a giant," the Darkest Sun said.

"You're not about to kidnap a competitor and do some tests and experiments on him now are you," the Lord of Lords said.

The Darkest Sun sighed and said, "As much as I want to… I guess none of you will be letting me do it. However, if he were to die, I'm taking his body, I have full claim over it!"

"Hell no!" the Red Sun's hidden bloodlust began exuding even further, but the Lord of Lords held his palm up, "As long as you abide by the rule of neutrality, and not interfere in the challenges to come, then all is well, you may do whatever you wish if Shen Bao were to die."

"Shen Bao… that is his name, I see," the Darkest Sun said as he turned. "Then it is spoken and it shall be abided by. I will not seek harm upon the man named Shen Bao directly or by underhanded methods, this I vow it as the lording Darkest Sun!" the Darkest Sun said.

This vow was heavy, and it made every other one of the suns to fully withdraw their aversion and hostility form the Darkest Sun's actions.

"It really isn't sitting well with me, that a child that hasn't even lived past his fourth century is already at this level of ability. Given a few more hundred years, this man can probably reach the Origin Realm, no maybe even the Origin Shattering Realm…" the Darkest Sun said.

"You know of him, I suppose," the Dusking Sun said.

"I took nothing more than a glimpse of this man in the Vast Expanse, it was when I took that other child as my protégé, however, had I known, had I paid more attention, I would have gladly took the penalty to grab even this one. You are in great luck, Lord of Lords…"

"Oh, don't misunderstand, I'm not grooming him or training him," the Lord of Lords said.

This caused both the Darkest Sun and the Dusking Sun to raise their brow, after all both of them didn't know of the agreement between the Wisest, Red, and Lording Sun.

"Then what are you planning on doing with Shen Bao?" the Darkest Sun asked.

The lord of lords smiled as he replied, "I'm planning on making him the Ninth Sun." the smile on the Lord of Lords seemed too vicious and too cynical to believe, however deep down, they all knew that if the Lord of Lords were to set his goal on something… it was very rare for him to fail.

***

I really don't have time for this, but for some god only know reason, my ear is itching way too damn much.

Also, what kind of monster created this thing. Not only are they resistant to most of my poisons, they're able to return back to life even after having their heads bashed in and their spine broken and shattered.

It doesn't matter though.

I was slightly misunderstanding something.

It seems that these guys can use the Fist of Roaring Ki, but to an extremely limited ability. Though their bodies are absurdly sturdy, and they get stronger with each 'death', their application of the Fist of Roaring Ki stagnates.

I already killed these two giants about three times each, and they are growing stronger and harder to kill each time.

I suppose they'll grow to a level that I can't take them on, and I'm also losing a lot of stamina by killing them. I believe that by the fifth death, I will be pushed back, and by the seventh, I'll start losing limbs. If it reaches the tenth death, then I won't be able to survive.

So, there is one thing I can do right now. And that is to run away.

I immediately turned and ran toward what I believed to be the center of this domain.

The Titans can locate and detect life forms, even the Traceless Step is useless. So, I cannot afford to hide and waste time doing so, all I can and should do is to keep running.

The two titans behind me began recovering and started chasing after me, breaking every tree in the process that stood in front of them. I kept moving up ahead until I reached an area that seemed void of life. As if something had fallen here and sucked all life away.

There was a feeling that was familiar in this place though, it was a bloodlust that I felt before.

The Red Sun's own bloodlust.

Just as I was thinking of switching direction, I noticed the giant behind me cowering in fear as they felt the powerful bloodlust. They stopped right at the edge of this zone.

For me, this was a good place to take a break as the giants refused to go through, though I didn't know how this bloodlust came to exist here. It was a blessing for me. So I'm taking full use of it for now. After all, I need to think of a way to take on these giants or at least escape them.
