Chapter 287 - Come with intent to kill!

Spending time with family for the next few days, fortunately, retained a time dilution and Caelum had full control over the time flow. It only appears his ability from the outside universe as the place is a living creature's inner world.

The natural rejection of a foreign entity is to be expected. Caelum's presence in that world is like a sickness while the inner world will try to reject him as if the immune system is attacking him.

Even the Essence of Compatible is unable to lessen the effect as it only works internally. The Adaptable Body that he had first wished worked perfectly made it easier to control the laws and his other skills. 

Existing Yggdrasil, Caelum, and his three sons were in the room where he had been living for the past few days. 

"I could already feel the 'Potential' attack me. Hahaha, this makes things exciting!"

"Don't get too excited. Let's head outside first."

Four of them headed outside, finding the old patriarch having a friendly spar with a young man that had purple hair that exudes power beyond what his realm is.

Caelum could see a veil of vast destiny embracing his whole body protecting him. The reason for this was being the son of Luo Xiao, the creator of their universe. 

Though, this lack is given the innate talent burning within him made Caelum hungry but hold it in as he is one who favored the young man. This person was Luo Zheng, the protagonist of his favorite Manhua. 

"So this is the son of the Firmament Saint?"

Caelum spoke walking up to them, being noticed by the Old Patriarch who flinched seeing three unknown individuals following him while Luo Zheng curiously looked at him.

It was fortunate that he was unable to sense the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron within his Sea of Consciousness on the second floor of the Jade Pagoda.

"Hey wanna spar? I've been itching for a good fight!"

"Hey, no fair! I was about to ask! So back off!"

Luo Zheng came face to face with the two battle maniacs, slightly confused about who they were. The red-haired one who had the same frame as his own sons, slightly older, was at the Upper Divine Transformation while the other was at the Lower Realm Lord.

Despite this, he could feel that they could not be taken lightly which was surprising considering his level of strength.

"If you stop bickering it would make it much faster! Apologize for my brother's behavior."

"I-I don't mind but who are you and how do you know my father?"

He turned to each of them till reaching Caelum who was confused, sensing his aura of being there yet not. 

"My name is Lianmin Tian or Tian while these three are my children Qing Yan, Urizen or Zen, and Ryuu. You lot, introduce yourself!"

The two straightened themselves while Ryuu only bowed before introducing himself to the people. The Old Patriarch observed their strength seeing their cultivation were meager yet he could not shake the feeling of defeat if he fought one of them.

"How did they get here? We would have noticed people arriving here then how come?"

The old patriarch asked while recalling that Caelum was the only one who arrived and no one else. It won't be possible for anyone to pass through their barrier without being detected.

"I can't say besides that I've brought them here to participate in the war. Don't get filled by their cultivation as their prowess is higher."

"Wait, you still didn't answer my question on how you know my father?"

"Your father? Ah yes, the firmament saint….I don't know much about him besides that he is famous throughout the God Domains. If you get the opportunity to ascend then be careful."

Luo Zheng seemed unsatisfied with the answer but nodded. He understood that once stepping foot in the God Domain then the favor of the universe is useless, even the treasure made from it would disappear. 

"My request, do you accept?"

"No, I will be first!"

The two clench their fist before uppercutting each other's chin flipping their body then slamming their feet into the ground with immense force that broke the floor. 

This stone used on the ground was no meager cement, rather a special type that is a million times denser and stronger than steel.

The other Realm lords and Heavenly Venerate drop their jaws witnessing the display of physical strength even Luo Zheng was surprised.

'This two brat….'

"ENOUGH! I brought you here not to bicker and fight!"

Pressure weighs into them stopping the two from starting another fight and accidentally breaking everything.

"Now Luo Zheng, are you willing to accept their challenge?"

He was reluctant as sparring them would be pointless in his eyes as the war was more important than wasting time. 

"If you win I'll help heal the king of slaughter."

"What!?"

Luo Zheng was slightly surprising hearing the offer and tempted to accept the offer as it was the promise he made to Xun, King(Queen) of Slaughter and the Demon Night Race which was elf like race made by Mu Haiji who is the saint that is currently at war with Great Expanse Universe.

"I'm willing to rebuild her body in exchange for a spar with my sons If you manage to win that is."

Caelum could confidently say that his children would win by long shot. They had better training and foundation than Luo Zheng but this is a way to help him grow. 

Reading Apotheosis verse for such a long time had grown fond of this young akin to a brother. Though it sounds foolish this is how he thinks.

[A/N: you can drop my fanfic if you hate what my mc is doing]

"I accept!"

"Good, Qing Yan, you'll go first."

"What! Why get to go first when I don't!"

"That's because you neglected to do the training I gave! You still hadn't written the Ten thousand pages of the myriad book."

"But that damn training is boring and annoying!"

"That's why it's important! Without patience and precise control over your mind and soul would forever hold back your true potential!"

"Tch. Alright, but I'll be next once it's over."

Everyone wondered what mind of training that this True God would give to make them such a monster yet still disappointed. 

Luo Zheng felt enlightened by his words and understood them since he had cultivated his soul and mind enough to control himself.

Everyone headed outside hovering in the air with Qing Yan stretched his body showing his physique. 

"I wonder who would be among the youth. The black-haired one is the same cultivation as Luo Zheng but uncertain from how the two youths display their power."

"You overestimate them, I think Luo Zheng edges it out and would win."

"We can never be certain unless we see them fight."

The Heavenly Venerate and Realm lord shared their opinion with another while Caelum hovered in the air with Ryuu, Xing Wei, and Old Patriarch beside him as Urizen was close by at the two combatants.

"These two youths seem to be Daozi. How did you bring them into this universe?"

"Same answer but don't worry they would support you at the war."

"These three you've brought despite their cultivation seem to have a higher prowess."

"We've been pursuing martial arts from the moment we step foot. This is the reason why our prowess is higher than others."

Ryuu gave his answer who had been silent as he had been busy circulating his sword intent. He had a more sharp gaze noticed by Xing Wei who understood that among the three he was the strongest. 

He was more mature than the two despite being tempted to join the fight. 

"I should place a barrier in case it affects the outside."

He held out his hand and began to surround the two with a massive Spherical barrier. Meanwhile inside Qing Yan finished stretching and both took a stance. 

"I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Luo Zheng senses the danger and barely evades the attack yet that movement felt something and sent him flying directly into the barrier. It did not  hurt him yet was shaken from how fast his opponent's move.

"How disappointing! Even my little sister could do better than you! Stand up and fight me with the intent to kill!"
