Chapter 28: unknown world.

Tian opened his eyes to a view he could never have imagined. He was falling, free-falling through the vast expanse of space. The stars surrounded him, twinkling like diamonds in the sky. He felt weightless, the air rushing past him as he plunged toward an unknown world.

Tian had no idea where he was or how he had gotten there. All he knew was that he needed to survive this fall. As he plummeted towards the ground, he closed his eyes and summoned his scaled and wings to cover his whole body, and he braced himself for the impact.

A deafening roar filled the air as Tian crashed into a bustling city. People screamed and scattered as he plummeted through the air, crashing through the roof of a grand palace.

Tian groaned as he slowly regained consciousness, his body aching from the fall. As he sat up, he found himself in the middle of a huge martial art contest. The whole kingdom seemed to gather around him, watching intently.

suddenly Tian heard the sounds of sword drawn, before he knows it he was surrounded by a ground of warriors, with there spears and swords pointed at him, " who are you", a soldier asked but before Tian could answer his questions he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

the entire place fell silent as everyone become speechless on how the situation turned out, it was then that the king stepped forward, his regal bearing commanding attention from all those present. In a voice that carried across the arena, he declared that the contest was over, he then stare intently at Tian who was laying unconscious on the ground before ordering the maid to move Tian to a room and order the imperial nurse to start taking of him after he was done giving the necessary order he disappeared from the arena.

for days, Tian lay in a deep slumber, his body was healing as fast as it could, while the nurse also give him some medicine to fasten his healing process.

After a month, he woke up to find himself in a grand royal room, strewn with silken draperies and ornate carving. He felt a sense of awe and wonder as he gazed around the room, taking in the sumptuous surroundings.

as he sat up, a maid walked in and she couldn't help screaming out loud like she just set her eye on a ghost, dropping all the medicine she was holding before rushing back outside. Tian became confused and he started remembering what happen to him, while he was trying to recall all that happened to him before he passed out.

suddenly the door was opened again and Tian look up to see the person that comes in, he saw a woman of grace and elegance. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, with a few loose curls framing her face. She wore a simple yet elegant gown, which flowed gracefully as she moved closer to him, Tian could see that the woman has a king realm cultivation base, but her eye were warm and kind, and her voice was soothing and gentle, she had calming presence that put Tian at ease, even though he was in a strange kingdom.

She move closer to Tian before checking his pulse and body, as she tended to him she spoke softly, asking Tian how he is feeling, " I'm feeling better, you see have a strong body and strong healing ability so I'm good" Tian reply with a smile on his face, he will be gentle and nice to those who give him the same vibes and as for those who comes with bad intent, he will destroy them completely. This has always been his policy.

"okay but the king wishes to speak to you" the lady continued. "He invited you to the imperial hall as soon as you are awake and alert".

ohhhh? Tian gave the lady a questioning look.

the lady seemed to sense his apprehension. "Do not worry, the king is a fair and just ruler. I am sure he simply wishes to get to know you better".

Tian chuckle silently and thought to himself. " worry? Humph the only the thing that worries me is that bastard villains heaven" then he nodded before asking the lady to the him to the imperial hall.

as Tian arrive in the imperial hall, he couldn't help but admire the grand and imposing space, filled with air of authority that left no doubt as to who held the power in the kingdom. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries and paintings, depicting scenes of a great dragon and noble deeds. In the center of the room stood a large throne, draped in red and gold, with a high backrest, intricately carved with symbols of the kingdom history. The throne itself was made of dark metals, polished to a high shine, and studded with jewels that glittered in the light.

the king sat on his throne, towering above the room in all his regal glory, his face stern and unyielding, reflecting the weight of his responsibilities as ruler of the kingdom. He has a broad shoulders and a regal bearing that command respect from all who stood before him. His hair was silver and a neatly trimmed beard framed his strong jawline. His eye were deep blue, piercing and intelligent. He wore a golden crown upon his brow, symbolizing his authority over the kingdom. Despite his austere appearance, there was warmth and wisdom in his eyes that hinted at a lifetime experience. Though he held the power of life and death over his subjects, Tian could feel a sense of fairness and justice in his demeanor that gave hope to those who looked up to him. So Tian concluded that this was a king who was both feared and revered, respected and loved which make Tian abandon the thought of annihilation. But what make Tian speechless was the lady beside the king and looking at her Tian could deduce that she was the princess.

the princess was a vision of beauty, her delicate features and sparkling eyes drawing the attention of all who looked upon her. Her hair was a cascade of rich, golden curls, falling in loose waves around her shoulders, while her skin was like porcelain, smooth and flawless. She was tall and slender, with a regal bearing that spoke of grace and elegance. Her gown was a masterpiece of intricate embroidery and delicate lace, hugging her curves in all the right places and flowing like water as she sat down. Rain also feel that despite her beauty, however, there was a strength and resilience with a middle stage king realm base to her that was impossible to ignore.

suddenly Tian use his "universal heavenly eye" on the princess and he realize that the princess has the " the celestial eclipse body constitution" seeing this Tian made up his mind to make the princess his first maid servant.

Tian approach the king with his head held high and his eyes locked with him, there was no sense of reverence or worship in his demeanor, no bowing or scraping before the throne, only a sense of mutual respect between two powerful individuals.

for a moment, the king and the princess has was surprised and speechless, but then the king spoke, his voice calm yet commanding as he acknowledged Tian's presence.

" young man, you almost destroy my imperial palace, where are you from and why do you appear here in such condition"?

" My apology for the offense but i really don't know how i got here, or appear in your kingdom, i guess its a pure coincidence, but I remember being sucked into a space crack after I finished my tribulation, that's all I know before i lost consciousness and when i open my eye, well you can imagine the rest yourself" Tian spoke gently with a carefree manner.

the king did not mind his attitude nor was the princess in fact she had a smile on her face as she found Tian to be an interesting species.

" ohhh what kind of realm are you crossing for you have encountered tribulations, cause I know only those who has reached the peak of ascension realm encounter such phenomena"? The king continued to ask with a calm and curious tone.

" well I haven't actually reached that realm yet, but you see heaven hate me so much that he has been send the tribulations to kill me ever since birth. Sigh….. my life really empathetic". Tian complained with a depressing expression before walking toward a chair close to the king throne, he sat and started eating the spiritual fruit on the table.

the king realize that this a man that he can't see through, nor can he predict, so took a deep breath and stop bothering himself much about this man personality and ask the question that matters to him. " where are you from then"?.

"well to answer that question i need to know where i am now, so tell me noble king which world is this"?
