Three days of travel that's all it took for Lin Shen to reach the capital city of the murim alliance.
Once he was there, he flew directly towards the colosseum
It was the same colosseum where he had humiliated the black river sect in the past
It had not changed much except for the three large seats
And in the colosseum center many disciples were either meditating or chatting
ARCHON sat on the seat on the left
Heaven Breaker sat on the seat to the right
Hell Bringer sat on the seat in the front
Lin Shen sat in the center of the Arena checking system diagnostics
For a the next ten minutes nothing happened as every eye in the arena stared at him with murderous intent then the observers filed in the all the leaders of the murim alliance sat on elevated areas getting a clear view from above
He spotted Sun Rong and Lin Shu and waved at them he waved back
Then he spotted madam Feng who gave him a curt nod
Once the disciples from the Wudang sect arrived the alliance leader stood and levitated to the center of the arena
"Now that we are all here let the fight BEGIN" the moment those words left Gwak Yeom's mouth
Lin Shen moved cutting the head of five disciples in one movement
The Disciples of mount Hua surrounded him and used their Plum Blossom formation which required multiple disciples to surround the enemy and close in on them from all sides
But Lin Shen took to the skies and activated his Unibeam turning a good chunk of disciples to ash
Then one disciple from the Kunlun sect used a tamed phoenix and tried to catch him off guard from behind
But Lei Huang rammed into the phoenix like a truck at full speed sending them flying out of the arena
More and more disciples charged at him
A few disciples of Shaolin caught Lin Shen off guard
Attacking him with their fist, staff and spears
But Lin Shen's armor redirected the kinetic force into his fist and he sent them flying back into the Arena walls
Tang Sect disciple's throw smoke bombs at him which released a poisonous smoke
And every other disciple in the vicinity of the smoke bomb held a cloth to cover their nose and rushed blindly into the smoke
But Lin Shen used Wind Element Qi to blow it away before he took to the skies
He put carnage on his back and held his arms out
Miniguns whirred before kinetic rounds infused with different types of Qi hit the disciples
One disciple from the Namgoong family got hit with a Wood elemental Qi but the vitality was too strong and his body collapsed in on itself
Another disciple from the Namgoong Family used the Rising dragon sword technique to knock him out of the sky
Lin Shen landed smoothly but dust kicked up when he crashed into the ground
The disciples did not wait instead they charged toward the dust cloud but then micro missile hit the on coming disciples destroying whatever part of their body it hit
Lin Shen kept shooting in different directions covering his front and back
But one disciple from the Peng clan pretended to be dead and waited for Lin Shen to get closer
Lin Shen unknowingly stepped into the trap and got tackled by the Peng clan disciple
Following him more and more disciples jumped onto him forming a mountain of living humans
Lei Huang rushed toward them only to be stopped by formation masters from the Jaegal, Wudang and Emei sects
Lin Shen's armor was cracking his helmet was the first to crack under the pressure
He saw Lei Huang who was being stabbed by multiple disciples
"NO.... EI HUANG" he shouted
But it was muffled by the disciples over him
"CHAOS RESONACE SUTRA FOURTH CYCLE"
A burst of power coursed through Lin Shen's Body
"I am not done yet Tri-Eye Synchronization"
Lin Shen's three eye's glowed intensely
Now that his Tri-Eye synchronization has begun
Lin Shen's Heavenly Eye showed him multiple possible futures for a longer period of time
His Golden Eye helped him spot hidden traps and see through each layer of the technique
His Azure eye allowed him not only to follow the flow of energy but also alter it
Lin Shen adjusted his stance analyzing the movements of the Movements of the Mount Hua disciples from earlier and killed all the formation masters and disciples that tried to kill Lei Huang
He moved with grace and precision copying their technique and correcting it only to be intercepted by a disciple from the Namgoong family
Lei Huang Jumped into the sky and his cybernetic leg released all the stored thunder QI
As they fought He analyzed the Namgoong sword techniques and started integrating it with the Mount Hua Swordsmanship before beheading him
A Wudang sword scholar disciple struck him from behind as his compatriots tried to kill Lei Huang
Lin Shen dodged the attack and fought against him
Slowly and steadily the Disciples realized a horrible truth
In front of Lin Shen, they were nothing but nourishment for him if they faced the Qilin things would only get worse
As the last sword disciple fell Lin Shen turned towards the other disciples
The Disciples of shaolin rushed forward the strongest one trying to pin down Lei Huang
Lin Shen raised his arm and held carnage by the hilt before tossing the sword forward like a baseball
Five approaching disciples from different sects got pierced through their hearts as the sword flew through them and sunk into the Arena wall
Lin Shen then engaged in a brutal fist fight with the Shaolin Disciple who pinned down Lei Huang
Lei Huang was weakened and could not fight anymore
"Lei Huang retreat we cannot risk you dying I will take it from here" Lin Shen said
Lei Huang roared in response
As his head was turned away one Jaegal clan disciple charged at him with multiple exploding formation Talismans stuck to his back
Lin Shen caught him by the neck raised him and crushed his neck but that action caused the talismans to explode
"Damn it I forgot they will not care if they died trying to bring down an enemy" he said as coughed up blood
He stood up his left arm was completely decimated luckily the wood element Qi core was already healing him
Then the disciples of shaolin charged towards him as the formation masters used immobilization arrays where set up as chains made up of QI materialized and bound him in place
Formation masters held the formations as other disciples charged toward him from all sides
Daggers pierced through his body as he was impaled by spears from all sides
His wood element Qi was healing his wounds and his body was adapting but it could not keep up
Lin Shen eventually passed out as blood trickled onto the ground Lei Huang roared again and charged towards the elevated seats wanting to kill the elders who set this up
But AECHON immediately stopped him and pinned him down
Lei Huang tried to break free from ARCHON's grasp but ARCHON held him tightly not letting him go eventually the struggling stopped
Tears started forming from Lei Huang's eyes
ARCHON just looked at his dead friend coldly
His core pulsed in an unfamiliar rhythm
Hell Bringer, and Heaven Breaker turned their heads away but they both felt it too
A deep emptiness that was somehow worse than death
As clouds gathered and rain started pouring down onto the Arena
"LIN SHEN ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DIE LIKE THIS" said a female voice shouting from the Arena seats
Lin Shen's eye's twitched in recognition
"This voice...." He thought
"It is Sun Rong's"
"Wait who is Sun Rong"
"Who is Lin Shen"
"Who am...I"
Then a flash of memories flowed into his mind
"Ah.. Yes"
"I remember now"
"Who am I"
"I AM LIN SHEN FORMERLY KNOWN AS RYOUTO ICHIMONJI THE GREATEST INNOVATOR TO EXIST"
Cracks of light appeared on his face over his left eye
"I WILL NOT DIE HERE"
ARCHON was the first to sense something was wrong
Followed by Heaven Breaker and Hell Bringer
They all looked back to the lifeless body
"THIS IS NOT MY BEGINNING THIS IS MY MARK"
Rays of light descended from the clouds bathing his body in light
"I WILL BRING CHANGE INTO THIS WORLD"
"Lei Huang don't cry your master has not given up yet" ARCHON said with what looked like the robot equivalent of a smile on his face
"BE IT THE MURIM ALLIANCE OR THE DEMONIC FACTION I WILL BRING CHANGE TO THIS WORLD"
"LIN SHEN, I LOVE YOU SO PLEASE.... PLEASE DON'T DIE" Sun Rong shouted as tears fell from her eyes
Then the rays of light intensified becoming a pillar of light
The disciples rushed towards the pillar of light
But carnage intercepted them before they reached Lin Shen then thick Qi with killing intent spread from the blade as it solidified into the form of a blood red dragon
"IMPOSSIBLE" Hyun Jong said slamming a fist onto the armrest
"NOT ONLY DID HE ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT BUT, HIS SWORD USED SWORD INTENT BY ITSELF"
"It is possible if the sword intent has fully formed it could sometimes lead to the sword developing its own personality," said Namgoong Jinho
"For now we can only watch" Gwak Yeom said narrowing his eyes
More and more disciples tried to attack Lin Shen who was in the pillar of light
But Carnage intercepted them transforming the Killing intent he radiated into a projection
The dragon surged forward and caught hold of a few disciples
Then mercilessly it crushed them in its mouth as their bodies bent in unnatural angles
Formation master tried to use QI sealing formations to pin it down
But the Qilin intercepted them and mercilessly killed each one
The battle was in a stalemate if the disciples stepped forward, they would die to the Qilin or Carnage
If they stood like this the enlightenment will be completed and who knows what monster will emerge
RUMBLE
Then the pillar of light started fading and Thunder tribulation was gathering from above but unlike the normal purple thunder that comes with the tribulation the thunder that struck the ground was red
And in this moment, everyone knew what this was, this was no longer an ordinary tribulation but this was Heavenly punishment.
The Heavens themselves were trying to eliminate him
As the pillar of light faded Lin Shen's three eyes glowed as he looked upward towards the tribulation
Then without warning a red thunderbolt surged forward towards Lin Shen
It was inches before his face before it suddenly cracked before disappearing
"Golden Eye Stage Three Total disassembly"
Before anyone could process what happened then sky cracked and the tribulation ceased to exist
Then he looked down and whistled
Carnage returned sword in hand the projection glowing by his side
The Qilin also returned to his side ready to fight
"Use your nascent souls, even if we die, we cannot let him live" One of the disciples shouted
Then one by one all the disciples activated their Nascent Soul Projection
Sword intent a few bloodcult spies decided to reveal themselves in the process
But no one complained, as they needed to handle this threat before it goes out of hand
As they all charged towards Lin Shen his Azure Eye activated
He destabilized their Nascent souls and disrupted their Qi circulations
Formation masters struggled to maintain support formations as they lost control of their QI
But there still disciples who relied on their bodies to fight and refused to submit even if they could not use QI
He landed in the Arena center and the moment he did Every disciple charged at him raising their spears or punching him
Then his Heavenly Eye opened and when it did, he saw multiple paths of his future
But now he did not even need to do anything instead he just stood there as spear attacks missed him completely, basic combat techniques back fired on them
Then he slowly started walking and then running he slashed through every enemy
"Heavenly Eye Stage three Outcome Selection"
He charged into the crowd discarding all defense going completely on the offensive
"Chaos Forged Body Sutra Fourth Form Resonance Regeneration"
"Harmonic Soul Sutra Fourth State Soul domain"
The disciples impaled his abdomen sliced him from the back poisoned him
But his body no longer adapted to the environment quickly, It started healing
The fourth form of the Chaos Resonance Sutra used excess energy in his body to heal wounds, while the Harmonic Soul Sutra Fourth state let him detect energy in his surroundings
When the sun rose, there was no longer just a man standing amidst a pile of corpses
This was not a warning but a declaration
A declaration to bring progress to this world whether they liked it or not if and if anyone stands in his way Lin Shen would kill them without hesitation
Lin Shen stood in the arena center for 3 hours before anyone realized why he was motionless
Madam Feng burst in with medical personnel and took him out of the arena on a stretcher behind her the crowd murmured
