Ever since the disaster a century ago, Nanhua Village has always been peaceful, until three months ago. Reaching the radius of hundred mile for three consecutive months without any sunshine, as if the end of the day, Nanhua Village was h.e.l.l.

The entrance of the village was completely isolated as if there was a barrier. As if the entrance was the mouth of a monster, devouring the sky’s vitality.

Chu Fei floated above a jade tripod in a lotus position with crimson eyes, his determined face expressed savagery and his weak body generated destructive lightning.

“Ah!”

The miserable scream echoed throughout the village, making the strange scenes invite more terror.

Fatigue hit him, but he maintained sober, his soul was tortured by unbearable pain, but even Chu Fei whose heart was like iron couldn’t refrain from shouting.

While generating lightning, his body was constantly breaking down and recovering, but much stronger than previously, this cycle repeated for three days with no break.

“Attain my inheritance, cultivate my demonic art, devour the constellations, soar above the heavens&h.e.l.lip; ”

An ancient voice rang in Chu Fei’s mind, deeply engraving itself.

This carried on for a incense stick’s worth of time (Savage: Half an hour), with this, Chu Fei’s inhuman transformation was finally complete.

At this time, as though time ended, the sky changed and a pitch black sword like onyx descended from the sky, seeming to pierce the middle of Chu Fei’s eyebrows.

“Ah!”

A scream reverberated through the air, the tripod suddenly shone with a black light, a radius of several hundred meters turned into a vacuum zone.

A sixteen year old with small head and an exposed upper body. After this transformation, his physique changed and became much more st.u.r.dier.

Chu Fei fell on one knee, his red eyes flashed with electricity from time to time, one wouldn’t notice unless they examined very closely. He struggled to raise his head and gazed at the people in the distance.

A female Taoist dressed in a white robe stood with her hands behind her back, calmly observing Chu Fei.

“Benefactors, thank you for saving this little one.” Chu Fei endured the pain and walked toward the group, Chu Fei worshipped cultivators as they could break free from the shackle of death and extend their life span.

“It was a complete coincidence we ran into you while flying, you were unconscious so we just helped you.” The female white clothed Taoist spoke unfazed.

“Remember, the Myriad Sword Sect Disciple Selection is in six months, as long as you pa.s.s, I will accept you as a disciple. You should try cultivating with this technique. Once you start, you’re officially a cultivator. I am called Yu Ding.”

Chu Fei was full of doubts, but silently picked up the little yellow manual and suddenly spoke: “Today’s grace, I, Chu Fei, will never forget, or may the heavens smite me.”

His vow echoed through the village, but they already left, leaving Chu Fei alone.

At this point, Nanhua Village finally returned to normal, Chu Fei stood on this strange land with a serene heart.

Unknown world, strange people, everything was so strange and mysterious, life was hard on him, at the moment, he was even afraid to face reality.

“Where am I?“ Suddenly verses of knowledge entered his mind. It was most likely the kind Taoist fairy immortal.

He only remembers that he was saved by the fairy Taoist.

Thinking of what happened in the past three days. He knew that this isn’t his original world, he was somehow brought  to this unknown world.

As he thought of it, he opened the manual, reading it twice. The context was somewhat easy to understand with all the annotations

With a look, Chu Fei was shocked to the point he seemed like a statue, he gained a bigger understanding regarding the Origin of Sword. Fighting against his excitement, he scrutinised the content.

Carefully studying the instructions combined with the formula, the original technique would be a piece of cake.

“G.o.d Devouring Formula. By devouring the countless objects of the world and fusing it into oneself, one consumes the world. By devouring the spiritual energy of the nature and fusing it into one, one consumes the constellations.”

Reading, Chu Fei involuntarily began to practice while kneeling.

In a blink of an eye, three days flew past, Chu Fei finally managed to grasp the first layer, he didn’t have the slightest feeling of hunger. Not only that, he also felt his strength and perception increase.

It only took three days to grasp the first layer.

“Don’t know how to use the technique?”

As he thought of this, his fist subconsciously hit the ground.

Bang! Mud splattered and a deep pit, about half a meter, emerged.

Chu Fei looked at his fist dumbfounded..

“In six months I have to go to the disciple selection.”

At this time, Chu Fei was preoccupied with thoughts of the group of cultivators.

“In three days, you will be able to touch the mystery of laws and the jade tripod, those children really haven’t disappointed me, haha​&h.e.l.lip;”

Immersed in the joy of cultivating, an ancient voice boomed in his mind.

“Who is it, benefactor, is it you?” Chu Fei looked around surprised, but never found Yu Ding, that strange atmosphere created from the voice frightened Chu Fei.

“Boy, even if you look everywhere you won’t find me, I reside in your body.” The strange ancient voice once again sounded, this time Chu Fei clearly heard it and the source was definitely his body.

A black sword flew out of the middle of Chu Fei’s eyebrows, as if alive, it stopped in front of Chu Fei and shook. The body of the sword was completely black, a large word was engraved on the sword.

A trace of black mist wrapped itself on the blade, making the handle look mysterious.

Chu Fei will never forget the sword, three days ago, it impacted him greatly.

“Kid, do you not have questions to ask this old man? But I won’t tell you, can’t tell you. Are you not very disappointed? Haha&h.e.l.lip;”

The ancient voice spoke to itself, completely ignoring Chu Fei.

Although this guy kept saying he won’t tell him, but with his endless nonsense, Chu Fei obtained some useful information.

At least he knew that this guy who was the sword spirit didn’t have a tight mouth, he also knew that the sword recognised him, obeying his every order.

Gaining a rough outline about Shadowbane, Chu Fei smiled. He waved his right hand and the sword, like a magnet, flew into his hands.

“What are you doing? This old man wants to eat you. Wahhh, lad, little ancestor, you can’t do this to me, you can’t do this&h.e.l.lip;”

Regardless of how the other party cried, Chu Fei ignored him and took the sword back. His heart suddenly throbbed, it felt as if he and the sword were connected.

“Maken sword?” (Savage: I’ll change once I find out what it means)

Chu Fei at this moment felt refreshed and decided to throw away his past and start anew He only has one wish, to become a mighty cultivator who vanishes in a blink of an eye and flies in the boundless sky.
