Great Void Immortal cultivation

Several days later, Grey sat down cross-legged with his eyes shut. He was in a semi-conscious state as he cultivated. There was a large influx of spirit energy was entering his body and a few minutes later, rumbling sounds could be heard coming from within him. As the rumblings grew stronger, Grey's expression changed into one of grimace as his body expelled black goo. He shivered in pain repeatedly

The black goo came out from every pore in his body along with sweat. His clothes were drenched with the black goo and a rotten smell permeated the air.

After a few minutes, the rumbling sounds grew louder and it was as loud as thunder. Suddenly a loud bang resounded. The spirit energy flowed and filled his body to the brim, the silent Grey slowly opened his eyes after a while.

'Fifth level of Qi condensation... am finally there'

Grey was excited. His body was brimming with energy as the Qi within his body continue to swirl.

His former expression of pain was gone and what came next was anticipation. He punched out and the air seemed to follow the movement of his hand.

The wall opposite him suddenly shuddered and small pieces of stone and sand fell down. With that small show of strength, Grey nodded in satisfaction.

The power coursing through was veins as a fifth level cultivator was completely different than when he was in the fourth level.

He felt that he could probably battle cultivators in the sixth realm or seventh realm and come out for sure with his strength alone.

He circulated Kai-kai kitan and felt it was much more potent now. When Grey stood up, he saw the dirty state of his clothes and a crown appeared on his face.

They smell was so bad that he wanted to vomit. They could definitely not be used again, but thankfully he had kept his coat and the wanderer's shroud away when he was about to break through.

As he poured water over his body, he washed off the remaining filth still lingering on his body. His body had gone through an external change as well.

His skin was a lot fairer and smoother than before, but that didn't mean they were soft. Instead they were a lot tougher and it would be hard to pierce his skin with blunt objects. His usually dull grey eyes seemed to have gained some light and made his appearance a little warm but it still retained that sharp glint. And his grey hair seemed to have gained a faint luster in them.

He stared in the reflection of himself as he analysed his face. It was a lot prettier and coupled with his charming eyes, you could pass him for a flower boy... If only he smiled instead of frowning, he could be as charming as a prince.

A moment later, only after he applied mud did he feel much comfortable. He gazed solemnly at his clothes and sighed regretfully. He tried to wash them but the rotten smell wouldn't come off then sadly, he had to throw them away.

''Maybe I can use some spirit coins to buy new some clothes''

The idea of buying some new clothes chased away the loss of his former clothes. He picked up a ruck sack and dashed away with a cold expression on his face. His short hair falling over his face and covering his eyes but that couldn't hide the sharp gaze it held.

In less than two hours, he was nearing the scavengers camp with a wary expression on his face.

Only after he was at the main entrance did he let himself sigh a relief. He walked over to one of the stalls and dropped the rucksack on the counter.

The middle-aged man gaze behind the counter lingered on him for a few seconds before he opened the rucksack to see the contents.

Grey felt uncomfortable under the lingering gaze of the middle-aged man, so his hand unconsciously reached for the knife hidden in his side.

He was still busy checking the contents when a group of seven men walked into the store. They wore dark robes that had the symbol of a wolf on it. They had the presence of malicious ghosts on them.

Their gazes held wicked intent and a hint of lasciviousness. They walked in with their weapons and laughed evilly. Their purpose was to plunder.

"Hey there, kid. What are you doing here? Buying materials." One of the men approached the counter that Grey and the middle-aged man stood and called out.

His gaze containing sinister intent. His clothes reeked of blood and sweat. He swung his big mace to his other hand as he spoke intimidatingly.

The middle-aged man shivered unconsciously when he felt the bloodlust of the burly man. His hands were shaking as he counted the spirit coins.

Grey stood calmly as he waited as if he did not hear the man speak. The burly man laughed sinisterly and beckoned to the rest of the group.

"Hey look, we have someone who grew a couple of balls." He walked dauntingly to Grey who continued to ignore his existence.

The remaining group looked on weirdly then burst into laughter. "I guess we can rough him up a little bit and show these fools the power of the shadow sect."

Another man from the group said with killing intent. Grey counted his spirit coins and when they were complete he turned to go but suddenly felt something and moved to the side.

Where he was previously, one of the burly man's hand was outstretched. He had been wanting to grip his shoulder but Grey slipped passed him easily.

The customers all had a scared expressions on their faces and some even left as some as they saw the men come in.

"You can't even grab a kid, loser." Another one of the burly men said and that made his companions face change to anger as he tried to get a hold of Grey again.

"Come here you kid!" He muttered and raised his hand and rushed to try and grab Grey. Killing intent evident in his voice and that made Grey narrow his eyes slightly. The man was fast but Grey was faster as he evaded again and turned to look at the burly man.

His gaze was cold the glint in his eyes made his look nonchalant. His intention was clear, 'don't touch me'. His hand was already by his side where the knife was hidden. Secretly circulating Kai-kai kitan.

"What are you doing Armin? You can't touch a little kid?" Another burly dude approached. His spirit energy fluctuations told Grey he was in the seventh level of Qi condensation.

He tried to slap Grey visciously but he had long been expecting that and ducked almost instantly. At the same time slashing forward with the his knife.

Time seemed to slow down a little... then blood splattered everywhere and there was a blood curdling scream. Everyone including the shopkeeper and the fleeing customers were shocked and at the same time terrified.

The hand that was coming for Grey had been cut off from the wrist. Blood flowed like a fountain as the burly dude held his hand and screamed in pain.

Before anyone could react, Grey had moved again and this time, the neck of the burly was slit open as Grey dashed away from the scene as fast as possible.

The other burly men finally came to realize and tried to grab him in time but he slipped past them with a fast speed.

The burly dude fell to the floor while drowning in his own blood. His convulsing figure soon stopped moving as the faint aura indicating his life force was extinguished.

There was a burning anger within the six men as they chased after Grey. They were angry but in the end still shocked.

The way Grey killed was fast and decisive and no one expected it to end that way. A cultivator in the seventh level of Qi condensation had died just like that in the hands of a kid.

Not just that, but he was also a veteran and had killed many people before. But compared to Grey, his ruthlessness could be questioned.

"Where did that brat come from."

The leader of the group shouted at the shopkeeper. Murderous intent and suffocating was released at the middle-aged man who almost passed out from fear. But he managed to say while stammering.

"I d-don't... know where he came from... b-but I heard he was just a kid who came to sell some Mutated creatures and materials sometimes."

"Just a kid eh... Hehehe." The leader of the group said ferociously as he licked his lips. He didn't seem too perturbed about the loss of one his team member.

His eyes narrowed and a strange glint appeared. "Let's go say hi to the camp leader. Maybe he will have some information about this kid." The leader of the group said to the rest of the members.
