The Story Never Ends

"Eh! Where is the elder?" The Great Wind Sect Disciples found themselves in a vast forest and cried out at once when they noticed that their elder was missing.

"Don\'t tell me he left us here and returned to the sect alone?" Amaya spoke with a worried look on her face.

"Haiz, he must be protecting us." She sighed looking at the sky, not knowing what to do.

"No! We must go back. I can\'t let him die." As his personal disciple, Dillion certainly wouldn\'t allow this to happen.

"Senior Brother, stop."

"Do you want to let his sacrifice go in vain?"

"Even if we go there, what can we do?"

"We are way too weak."

"Why don\'t we seize this opportunity and run?"

"Maybe we can take revenge in the future after becoming stronger."

The other disciples didn\'t want to return to that hellish place.

"You all.." Dillion became furious seeing how scared they were. Nonetheless, he couldn\'t refute them since their words made sense.

"Everyone, there is no use in bickering. This is the time we should be uniting." Amaya stood in between them and spoke seriously.

"Then what do you suggest?" One of the disciples asked. He was getting impatient to leave.

"Humm, we will head straight to the central region and ask for help with the Mystic Beast Sect." Amaya thought for a while before replying.

"What!"

"Do you think that we can cross the Desert of Death and reach all the way there with our current strength?"

"Don\'t you know how terrifying Demon Beats exist there?"

"Not only that but the weather and the aura of heavens and earth is insane over there."

"Thus, nobody can fly in that region."

The disciples felt that she had gone mad. However, noticing her calm gaze made them tremble. It didn\'t seem like she was joking.

"I have made up my mind. If you all want to help the sect, no…but the whole inner region then come with me. If not, then you may leave. I won\'t force you." She declared without any change in her expression.

"I.." The disciples glanced at each other and nodded their heads.

"Sorry, Senior Sister. We are determined to flee." They bowed their heads in shame.

"As you wish…" She didn\'t say anything more and dashed in a certain direction.

"Wait for me!" Dillion chased after her.

"Elder, wait for me. I will definitely bring good news." He prayed in his heart, believing that the mysterious lamp would keep him safe until then.

***

The Great Wind Sect, a beautiful sect that stood on the top of a huge cliff with water surrounding it from the back. The temperature was quite cold as strong winds howled in every direction.

One could even see gigantic tornados covering the skies. Due to all these rough conditions, the vision of the sect was blurred and the formation protecting the sect couldn\'t be perceived as well.

Currently, at the bottom of the cliff, an old man popped out from the water with his robes completely wet. Indeed, it was the elder of the Great Wind Sect.

"Hah!" He caught his breath and muttered, "I really hate this path."

Since the Heavenly Demon Sect were stationed outside, he had no other choice than to take this secret path.

Next, he approached the wall of the cliff and walked sideways while caressing its surface.

"Here, it is." Abruptly he stopped, took out a token, and channeled his spiritual energy into it.

"Clank"

A hidden door automatically appeared ahead of him and he entered inside cautiously.

"It\'s been years." He recalled his old memories as he walked ahead.

It was a circular dark chamber with no sunlight. Next, he threw some shiny spirit stones on the ground, and finally, something could be seen due to the light reflected from them.

There was a circular pattern with many inscriptions on the ground. With a wave of his hands, the pattern shone with white light and the spirit stones turned into dust.

"BOOM"

In the main hall of the sect,

There were six old men and two old women levitating in a lotus position with their eyes closed. Suddenly, they felt a familiar breath materializing out of thin air.

"Damon, you\'re back?"

"Was it a fairy artifact? Or a natural treasure born from the heavens and earth?"

"Did you leave behind the disciples?"

They became delighted when they opened their eyes and began asking questions after questions.

"I did and discovered this artifact as well." Damon smiled as he showed them the lamp.

"Oh! What does it do?" An old woman inquired with curiosity. The others even scanned it with their Divine Senses, attempting to see its secrets. Nevertheless, it was useless.

There was a force preventing them from prying in.

Damon was about to explain when all of sudden, a horrific pressure befell them.

"This.."

"It\'s from above."

Everyone rushed straight out of the hall into the sky and observed what was actually happening. The sky gradually turned pitch black, totally blocking the sun rays, and hordes of demon beasts could be seen approaching them.

"Demon Emperor Trevor"

Among them, an evil-looking brawny man wearing heavy armor caught their attention. He was seated on a chariot pulled by two weird wyverns. It was in a sense that they were radiating both devil essence and soul Qi.

Noticing their gazes, the brawny man turned in their direction and scoffed in disdain. "Haha! Is this the strength of the Great Wind Sect? It\'s nothing much."

"Indeed, Hall Master. There is not a single person in the peak stage of the Domain Realm. It seems like you don\'t need to dirty your hands." A bald man having disgusting centipedes crawling on his face spoke.

"Humm! I will leave it to you then." Trevor flicked a brown orb towards the sect.

"What is that orb?" The elders had a bad premonition.

"Don\'t tell me.."

The orb touched the white barrier that had become clearly visible due to the sky getting dark.

"Whoosh!"

Ripples spread through the barrier and it began disintegrating at the speed visible to the naked eyes.

"My God!"

"How can this be possible?"

"Our formation was personally made by an Array Master of the Divine Smith Sect."

The elders trembled with fear. The Heavenly Demon Sect was not only strong, but they even had such extraordinary means.

"BOOM"

In a couple of seconds, the barrier was destroyed along with the orb. Furthermore, the tornados disrupting the place vanished into thin air as well.

"Can we even defend now?" Without these obstacles, the Great Wind Sect lost their home advantage. Plus, the disciples panicked and lost their wills to fight.

"Kekw, how do we slaughter them?" The ugly man smirked, sending chills down their spines.

"Shut up! Colin. Just surround them first." Trevor ordered coldly.

"Yes." The demons moved around in an organized manner, not giving any room for anyone to escape.

Trevor then loudly yelled, "Zachary, will you still not emerge?"

His voice sounded like thunder and the disciples couldn\'t help but clutch their ears in pain.

Nonetheless, there was no reply.

"Will you not give me face?" He swept his Divine Sense covering every inch of the sect.

"There." He stood up from the seat and soared high up in the sky. Glancing down in a certain direction, he smashed his palm.

A gigantic palm print made up of rocks fell swiftly, looking forward to destroying everything here.

"We need to make a move. Otherwise, the disciples would get squashed." Damon was about to make his move when promptly a green aura emerged from the ground.

"BAM"

The ground was torn apart and a large shuriken spinning with a tremendous speed, producing a sharp hurricane, slammed head-on with the palm.

"Chirr.."

The palm was cut into half like butter and the hurricane broke the rocks into pieces, saving the disciples from harm.

"You finally showed yourself." Trevor smiled as he transformed into his beast form.

A three hundred feet tall humanoid rhino stood in the air and with his large hands, he grabbed the shuriken like catching a toy.

"Is this it?" Rocks formed over his skin and he crushed it with ease.

"BOOM"

In this way, the high-grade spiritual artifact exploded, and everyone was put into a state of disbelief. In the inner regions, such artifacts stood at the top of the pyramid, and who could have imagined that they would witness one of them being dismantled this easily.

Moreover, his tremendous physical strength scared them even more.

When the dust settled down, Trevor could be seen standing in the air with just a few brushes on his armor. However, nobody focused there but at the pit below him.

This was because a green-haired old man was panting heavily while spurting a fountain of blood.

"Sect Master"

The disciples and the elders called out to him in a saddened tone.

"Stay back!" Zachary signaled them to not be near him and set his attention on Trevor.

"If not for my previous injury, I wouldn\'t have shamed myself infront of them.." He sighed.
