Chosen by the Heavens

Two combatants clashed, their powerful attacks sparking around them.

The central clan leader felt a shiver run down his spine, his muscles trembling. He looked at the young man, disbelief etched on his face.

He was utterly beaten. In a test of strength, he was no match for his opponent. It’s worth noting that he was renowned as the strongest among the five great clans.

Qin Huai emanated a tremendous aura, like the power of a dragon erupting in a furious torrent. This force permeated through his body, reaching the depths of his soul, and the sheer intensity caused his mind to become momentarily hazy.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged a flurry of moves above the blood-red sea.

Bang!

A heavy hit landed, and blood sprayed from the central clan leader’s body. His once robust frame was gradually torn apart under Qin Huai’s relentless assault.

From a distance, the cries of their fellow clansmen filled the air, causing both fighters to glance over to the other battlefield.

The Kun Peng clansmen, despite their superior numbers, struggled against Wang Kun, leaving him battered and bloody. In several places, his white bones were visible through his wounds. It was a pitiful sight. However, the central clan leader’s brows furrowed. As time passed, Wang Kun was surprisingly turning the tide. His strength, speed, and battle techniques steadily improved, holding his own against his four attackers. In his hundreds of years of life, the central clan leader had never witnessed such a rapid improvement.

“Don’t prolong this! Finish him off!” the central clan leader roared. Now he understood why their leader had been so cautious. To exterminate these two threats, all five clan leaders had been summoned.

There was something unsettling about them. Leaving aside the fighter who grew stronger with every passing moment, radiating a peculiar aura… The young man before him was formidable, unlike any human he’d encountered before.

They were from the Kun Peng clan, known to rival the legendary five great beasts with their durable bodies. Despite being one of the top warriors of the Kun Peng clan, he was being overpowered by this young man.

Regret filled the central clan Leader. He should have brought two more clan leaders with him. Then, victory would have been guaranteed.

“But what’s done is done!” The central clan leader yelled out, “Feather cage!” With this command, all the feathers from his wings fell off, leaving only the bare bones to keep him airborne.

Gray feathers flooded the sky, surrounding Qin Huai. The thick curtain of feathers covered everything, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

“Sword fall!” The central clan leader summoned all his remaining strength to attack Qin Huai. Gray feathers swarmed towards the latter like a storm.

With a calm expression, Qin Huai extended his hand toward the central clan leader, activating the black dragon world.

Boom! His once-white hair turned jet black, cascading down to his waist. His eyes mirrored this transformation, becoming as dark as a bottomless chasm, swallowing both the central clan leader and his gray feathers.

The rapid storm of gray feathers abruptly slowed down, as if caught within Qin Huai’s shadowy realm. Their speed dropped drastically, then they disintegrated mid-air, turning into a fine powder that gently vanished without a trace. action

After that, the dispersed particles congregated in Qin Huai’s palm, gathering an ominous power.

The central clan leader felt as if Qin Huai was siphoning away all the energy from his dantian. His heart pounded as he spread his wings and soared towards the black dragon world.

Boom!

In the next instant, Qin Huai was suddenly before him. His pair of wings, though worn, fluttered rapidly without any frost encumbering them.

Despite their battle scars, the central clan leader felt an unsettling presence within this dark realm. What he saw wasn’t Qin Huai but a glimpse into his possible future.

“You want to kill me? You’re far too naive!” The central clan leader flapped his wings once more, jetting off in the opposite direction. His speed was remarkable. Even Qin Huai, now unaffected by the biting winds of the black dragon world, could only match him.

“Maintaining a formation like yours at such a height must drain a lot of energy. If you keep pace with me, how long can you hold out?” the central clan leader taunted.

He knew endurance was their new battleground. If he outlasted, this pest would fall to him. If he failed, he would meet his end at the hands of a human, a grim fate for a leader of the Kun Peng clan, and a first in millennia.

Time passed by. The central clan leader felt an increasing drain on his strength, but his mood had improved. He could no longer sense the piercing murderous intent from behind — the feeling of impending doom seemed to have lessened.

“You’re finally running out of steam…” he mumbled loudly, aiming to shatter Qin Huai’s resolve. “We, the Kun Peng clan, are chosen by the heavens. We are superior to you in every way.

“You have good potential. I even admit your strength is extraordinary. Perhaps in a few decades, you would be able to kill me easily, but now… You’ve rushed and wasted such a promising future.”
