Chapter 10: Walking up and Reaching the emperor and Saint Realm both at once

In a distant destroyed world, which was embraced by a dark, depressed cocoon of silence, a sudden disturbance emerged in the mana filled atmosphere. At a particular place floating in mid-space was a shining giant sphere. Surrounding the Sphere the mana particles in the atmosphere were as if going insane from excitement.

Suddenly there was a little crack in the sphere. Soon the crack created more small sub cracks until the whole sphere looked like a spider web. It seemed there was some enormous pressure from inside the sphere making impossible for it to hold on any longer. Finally like a broken mirror it shattered into pieces and a powerful wave of equally intense, both bright golden white and reddish black aura gushed out from it, towards the complete opposite side.

Amidst those two complete opposite auras a five year old boy was revealed. He was half naked. Only a small green silk blanket covered his lower half. There was a simple star shaped pendent with a dimly glowing blue stone in the middle, hanging from his neck. His soft tender white skin was as smooth as the finest polished jade. His lips were pale pink without the tiniest amount of roughness. His silver hair as if glowing in the sunlight, had reached his knee. Although he was only a child, his dream like appearance could stupefy anyone with wonder without discriminating between any gender or any age-group.

But this child was not at all ordinary. There was two dark black horns on his head prying out from his silver hair. The sharp edges of the horns were curved inwardly making it more sinister looking.Two almost 3 meter long wings had sprouted from his small back.The wings one black and one white were continuously glowing with a gentle dark and golden hue respectively.The feathers on it were shining brightly under the sunlight like gems.They were flapping gently against the dense mana particles to maintain balance above the ground.

These horns and wings were not at all like Arnold's - the holographic version, made up with only the owner's unique magic aura.They were completely real and equally made up with blood, muscles,bones and vessels. They were also larger in comparison.

At this moment the child's eyes trembled. Yes, this child was Ray who had finally finished his five years of slumber.

Ray slowly opened his eyes and tried to adjust his vision under the sunlight. He had his eyes closed for five whole years. If there was any ordinary person in Ray's place they would have gone blind against the sudden exposure of intense sunlight. But who was Ray? He was a cultivation genius who could control mana like a veteran in the very first day of practicing cultivation.

Ray controlled the dark cold mana in front of his eyes like a sunglass to reduce the brightness. Though even if he didn't do it, there wouldn't be any harm. Only he would feel a little uncomfortable. After all he had surpassed his own expectations and just reached the emperor realm in fighter part and saint realm in mage part. If Arnold was present there in that moment, his expression would be complicated. He would be equally proud and ashamed at the same time. Proud because his only five year old child surpassed him and ashamed for the same reason that as a father he couldn't act as his own child's hero anymore.

Ray slowly descended on the barren land and his eyes surveyed the surroundings carefully. His previous pale red right eye was now deep red in colour. His left eye also had a more pure golden hue as if glowing. Ray coated his bare foot with thick mana layer and touched the ground. But his small legs, though strong from body cultivation couldn't balance his whole body and fell headfirst towards the ground. Fortunately he had coated his whole body with mana layer otherwise he would be full of dust by then.

Ray spread his two large wings and flew a bit high above the ground.

' Hmm.... now that i think about it i haven't practiced walking since being born. This body is not accustomed to walking...sigh....but why flying is so easy than walking when i didn't know anything about flying before.....sigh'

Ray paused suddenly, ' wait my voice...can i speak now?... let's try something from my new world. '

Ray tried to recall the language of Astra. Then try to speak a simple sentence that every kindergarten student had been taught first.

" My nam iz Ra.."

"...."

Well at least he could speak. Wasn't every children his age pronounced words a little bizarrely. He would definitely correct himself in just half a month. Yes, in just half a month. Ray consoled himself.

" Naw let pactice alking " - now let's practice walking. - After translating.

"....."

Ray's face was full of black lines. After a minute of contemplating he decided to let the matter go.

Ray transformed into his original human form. The wings and horns vanished. From the cultivation method, the goddess provided, he came to know that as he had pure angel and demon blood in him, at king realm he would have real wing and horn rather than holographic version of them. Same could be said for archmage realm. But as in archmage realm only one characteristic, the wing was revealed Ray only got one white wing.

But now that he reached emperor realm, like any other normal emperor realm Ray had to make his own weapon using his aura. As for Saint realm he had to make his own magic staff similarly.

Ray got a headache. He could make weapon or staff but before that, ' I have to practice walking..'

After spending quite bit of a effort for a entire week he got a hang of it. In this seven days he not only practiced walking but also stabilized his current realms wholeheartedly. Truth to be spoken cultivation came to Ray so naturally that as he reached in higher realms the time to reach the next realm decreased only, not increased. He himself was frightened by his increasing control of mana and frightening pace of cultivation that he doubted if he was going by the right way.

Because of this kind of monstrous talent Ray reached the emperor realm and Saint realm both at once in just five years. There was one more reason that contributed in his achievements - his newborn body, which was devoid of any kind of impurities. And the environment too where you had nothing but mana to breath, drink or eat.

After one week of practicing walking Ray sat on the terrace of a high skyscraper which was still intact and immersed in a deep thought. As he was thinking he still didn't stop to absorb mana particles in the atmosphere. At this point it became a habit after continuously absorbing mana for straight five years.

Coming back to the topic Ray was thinking about a very troubling matter,

What should he make as his weapon? The goddess thoughtfully gave him information and usages of many kind of weapons and magic staffs predicting this situation but.... he was kinda confused.

Ray again went into daze, thinking deeply. After all the weapon or staff was a life long matter. Once made, then couldn't be changed.
