Chapter 637 Playground

Richard who ran to the northwest felt the ground shaking, he looked back and saw in the distance that a large area turned into a plain filled with weapons. What he saw next was a battle he could not even have imagined before. This was a battle that causes the ground to shatter and the sky to burn.

Richard who was told to flee could not leave as he watched the incredible battle happening in the distance. Even though he was already so far away he could feel the aftershocks of the battle as it was blowing even the mountains in the distance. He finally knew who Ren's opponents were, those people attacking were the Demi-Gods that have been causing chaos throughout the upper and lower planes.

Each Demi-God had special abilities that they had inherited from their parent. Not only do they have an ability only Gods can have but they can also cultivate the same way as humans which is different from the Gods. Some Demi-Gods are even stronger than the New Gods.

When Richard saw so many Demi-Gods besieging Ren he could already guess what happened in the land of the Gods. Seeing how the Demi-Gods got here, means a lot of people have died under their hands.

Richard who was deep in thought suddenly saw a crimson light pierce the sky, then that light slowly turned black like an abyss. The aura of chaos emanating from Ren was devastating.

'Is that the Ancestor's Qi?'

Even at such a distance, Richard could clearly see Ren's Qi, he could also feel its intensity that took his breath away. After releasing such ominous Qi the battle became even more chaotic. Richard could not follow the battle with his eyes, he could barely follow their movements even with his divine sense.

Richard needed to move farther away as the battle was becoming even more intense. Each strike was capable of killing Richard, in fact, the attack doesn't even need to hit him directly just the aftershocks from their movement could hurt him or even kill him.

Even though Richard could not participate in such a battle watching it was also beneficial to him, so he observed the battle with the intent of learning. As Richard continued to watch the battle for an entire day, it was at that time other people started to come. They were the members of the clans located nearby.

Seeing the battle before them, they quickly reported back to their respective clans and brought back their strongest fighters. Richard frowned when he saw this, he knew that Ren wanted to fight by himself. If these people disturb Ren while he fights then based on the stories of all the incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul their only ending will be the worst kind of death.

'I better warn them before they do something stupid.'

Richard appeared before the other spectators and with a voice that was filled with Qi echoed throughout the area making everyone hear his voice.

"Everyone I am Richard Tranor, the heir to the Tranor Clan!"

When the people heard the name Tranor they all stopped. The Tranor Clan was part of the legendary clans created by humanity's first hero, not to mention among all those legendary clans the Tranor Clan was one of the strongest.

"How do we know you're telling the truth? You do know what happens to those who lie about being part of those legendary clans."

One of the people asked, Richard could not help but sigh in relief when he heard that question. At least these people were willing to talk, Richard he would need to beat them up first.

'What am I thinking? Of course, they would at least listen to me. I've been with the Ancestor for just a few days and now my thinking is becoming a bit distorted.'

Richard shook his head trying to cast away those thoughts as he took out a necklace. The necklace had two swords overlapping with one another, one was pure black and the other was deep blue. These were the twin blades of the Ancestor of the Tranor Clan, Chaos, and Serenity. Then there was also the Qi of the current patriarch of the clan who was a Saint.

The Qi of a Saint cannot be replicated, proving the necklace's authenticity. Most of the clan members have the same necklace which already proves their relation to the clan but only the next head of the clan was given the necklace with the Qi of the current patriarch. When the people felt the oppressive aura coming from the necklace was without a doubt a Saint's Qi so the people already believed Richard.

"I'm sure that this should prove my identity."

Everyone present nodded their heads, they all know what happens to people who question any clan related to the Strongest Mortal Soul. Those people are battle crazed and will surely destroy all who opposed them.

"Alright, I want to say that no one should disturb that person's battle. That person is a very important person to all the Clans related to the Strongest Mortal Soul. I will warn you just this once, anyone who dares join that battle will most likely die."

"Even though you are the young master of the Tranor Clan you cannot dishonor us like this! Are you telling me that we are not enough to fight those Demi-Gods, that we will be killed by them, or are you saying that you will kill us if we try to join that fight?!" One of the men shouted in anger and his battle intent was rising. Not only he, but the others were also looking at Richard with angry expressions. Seeing them acting like this Richard sighed while shrugging his shoulders.

"You misunderstood me, I do not doubt that you people can fight those Demi-Gods, but I never said that they will be the ones to kill you nor did I say I will be the one to do it. No, that man over there fighting by himself will kill you all if you bother him while in battle. Not only will kill you, he would do it in the most agonizing way possible."

When the people heard what Richard said they looked at the smiling Ren. That man who was fighting by himself bleeding profusely but laughing so heartily, despite his overwhelming power, and the battlefield was full of dead bodies and scattered weapons, the man fighting by himself looked like a kid playing happily with his friends on a playground.

Seeing the battle before them many of them suddenly remembered a famous story and the protagonist of that story.

A man who once fought against the very creator himself, unyielding in the face of all the trials that were given to him. It was said that person was able to fight all those desperate battles with a smile on his face. To his enemies that smile of his was like a death sentence but to his allies, that very smile gave them confidence it gave them hope. The reason why humanity was able to survive until today was because of him.

"The Strongest Mortal Soul..."

Many whispered that title of his, and as if they were heard a sword that could pierce the very heavens itself appeared. Seeing the scene before them, it was like they became part of those fairy tales told to them when they were children.
