The Story Never Ends

"Did someone forcibly bring you to the Heavenly Demon Sect? Seeing your reaction, I don't think you willingly joined," Davion observed him carefully.

"No." The tiger shook its head and its body slowly transformed into a human.

It was an old man having short red hair and red fur covering his private part. The wounds were still there but the bone spikes had already fallen to the ground. Moreover, a weird collar made from energy was on his neck.

"This.." Davion's expression changed when he saw this collar. He could feel a strange power coursing through it which seemed to warn him from touching it.

"You must be wondering what this is, don't you?" The old man asked and Davion nodded in response.

"I used to belong to one of the tribes under the White Tiger Clan of the Demon Beast World. But one day a powerful tribe attacked us and I was only the sole survivor." The old man had an angry look on his face.

"So, you joined the Heavenly Demon Sect voluntarily for revenge?" Davion had read such similar incidents in a lot of novels in his past life.

"Yes, I was hungry for power. I wanted to become strong enough. But it was all meaningless." The old man cracked his knuckles and smashed his fist on the ground.

"Bang"

"I should have known that something was wrong when an odd black-robed man immediately approached me after this event."

"Was it an apostle from the Heavenly Demon Sect who invited you in?" Davion guessed.

"Yes. Not only that, but he also belonged to that same tribe who attacked us. I only found it after a few years," the old man replied.

"What? Does this mean that this tribe is one of the territories of the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Davion was surprised.

The old man nodded and said in a sad tone, "He lured me in and then he finally showed his true self. He extracted a lot of my blood and chained me with this collar. Next, he performed experiments on me. I was only a slave to them."

"Haiz, such a sad story. But why are you telling me all this? Do you think that I would let you live?" Davion had a cold look on his face. He felt this old man was trying to gain sympathy and win his heart.

"Why do I need to do that? I'm tired of living. Moreover, with these injuries, I don't think I can survive for too long." The old man gazed at the sky and went into deep thought.

"Still, you've not answered my other question," Davion didn't believe him.

"Phew" The old man took a deep breath and said, "I want your help."

"Eh!" Davion exclaimed and became speechless with what he heard. Weren't they fighting to death just now?

"Do you want me to kill the black-robed man for you?"

"Since you couldn't handle him, do you think that I could do it for you?"

"Even if I had the strength, do you think that I would take that risk?"

Davion threw questions after questions making the old man numb.

"No, no. It's definitely not that," The old man denied it.

"After all, that person is terrifyingly powerful. You cannot even touch him with your current strength," He reasoned.

"Is that so?" Davion's face became ugly. How could he underestimate him like that? He was confident he could beat that person after a couple of months with his panel.

Seeing his expression, the old man hurriedly explained, "That person already became a Hall Master a few years ago and goes by the name of Demon Emperor Trevor. Although he is not as strong as our Hall Master, that power is not something we could contend with."

"It means he should be attacking one of the middle-grade sects," Davion remembered this name. He would surely teach this guy a lesson in the future.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to create havoc in one of his regions that lies in the Demon Beast World." The old man told his intention.

"What?" Davion nearly coughed out blood in anger. Who in the right mind would even have this thought?

"It's not what you think. I have a way to send a single person over there. This is what even the middle-grade sects can never do." The old man had a proud look on his face even though he was in a serious state.

"Wow!" Davion had his mouth wide open in disbelief as he knew that without the help from the experts above the Domain realm nobody could travel to other worlds.

"Tell me how?" Davion questioned him immediately. He really wanted to go there and harvest some experience points. This was because the enemies he was about to face were becoming stronger and stronger.

"I will tell you if only you agree to my request." The old man gave a cheeky smile.

"What is it?" Davion really wanted to slap him and force him out. Nonetheless, he controlled himself.

"I want you to save those people like me who are being experimented upon. You don't need to worry about the Domain Realm experts being over there. They are all focused on the battle with the sects and have no time to focus on that region," The old man reassured him.

"Humph! I don't see any benefits for me here," He scoffed. But inwardly he was getting excited to see a new world.

"Hehe, there is a large spirit stone mine there which can make you rich in the blink of an eye," The old man answered.

"I.." Davion was about to say something when suddenly the old man threw out dark-colored blood from his mouth.

"Cough, cough-"

"It's time. My Qi is getting uncontrollable," The old man muttered and glanced at Davion and requested, "Kill me."

"This.." Davion hesitated as he didn't understand it. Nevertheless, the next thing made him react without any delay.

The old man's body shook, and blood began to spill out from every part of his body. So, Davion realized what the old man meant.

"Let me give you a peaceful death." He swung his axe and chopped off his head.

The head fell down and a powerful flame and devil essence emerged from it. The devil essence and the collar vanished into thin air while the flame energy coalesced to form a tiger pattern in the air.

This pattern floated and slowly came infront of him. Then before he could react it attached to his right arm and it remained there like a tattoo.

Afterward, everything returned to normal and Davion stood there with a bewildered look on his face. He had thought that the soul of the old man would come and tell him the ways but nothing happened.

"Is this over?" He looked at his arm and only felt some hot sensation instead of anything extraordinary.

"Maybe I might find some clues when I inject my spiritual energy here," He thought and reverted back to his normal form.

"But this is not the time to try it. Who knows what would happen." He took out a new set of robes and changed into it. Then he spread his Mind-Eye and located the survivors in a jiffy.

"Hehe, found you all." He chuckled and dashed off in a certain direction.

In a few minutes, he was in a forest where some traces of blood could be seen on the ground. He followed the trail and found a person crawling on the ground. He could see a sharp bone spike still inserted in his chest. It seemed like he couldn't pull it out.

"Jack, it's over." Davion's voice was abruptly heard in his ears.

Jack didn't respond and tried to escape. However, Davion didn't give him any chance as jumped on his back.

"BAM"

Jack crashed on the ground while spitting blood and Davion pulled out the bone spike thinking that he wasn't able to speak due to it.

"Let me live," Jack grabbed his legs and begged. He knew it was useless to try any tricks.

"If you can tell me how you arrived here, I might allow," Davion smiled.

"It was a talisman that the emperor used," Jacked replied.

"Oh! Tell me more about it." Davion was interested. If there were any secret shops where it could be bought then he would definitely buy it.

"I don't know. Only someone stronger than him can make such talismans. So, it should be the experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect." Jack told everything he knew.

"It seems like I got greedy. How can they be so easy to obtain?" He let go of this matter and glanced at Jack coldly.

"You've promis.." Jack didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence as a huge hand had already grabbed his head.

"Splat"

He crushed his head into pieces and used his dark energy to destroy his body from inside out. He didn't even let the soul fly out.
