Bloody Emperor - Chapter 5 The New World

Two years… It sounds like a lot, but it passed quickly to Nero and Sarah.

That was the time it took for Nero to kill all humans on earth. Even with his incredible speed, it was 8 billion human lives after all.

Nero hunted every human in every place and missed nothing. It was a long time killing.

It would take centuries to any vampire to process the blood of thousands of victims. But Nero only sucked the blood of those he found necessary to suck their soul and trap within the ‘Dark Soul Stone.’ A place separate from all the rest of the ‘stone,’ which only intended to catch souls and torture them with their worst memories countless times for as long as the host lives.

Nero brutalized the humanity, many torn throats, and dismembered bodies. But he still gave a clean and fast death to those he judged most ‘innocent.’ Nero did not believe humans deserved to live, for all those corrupt racists were once young and ‘innocent’ as the most.

Nero found many captive ‘Elves’ in human laboratories. But they all had no salvation. Humans attacked them while destroying vampires. Most of the Elves died, but many could not even commit suicide before being drugged and becoming a test subject to human scientists who had no compassion or mercy.

Soon Nero finished killing the last group of humans who hid at a base inside a mountain. He burned the corpses with almost no blood on the top of the hill and watched the smoke rising to the sky.

“You avenged your family, Nero, even if it does not change the fact that they are dead, you made the humans pay in blood all the shit they did. Now at least on this planet, humans can no longer do any evil to any life.”

In those two years, Sarah didn’t say much. She didn’t interfere which the way that Nero had chosen for his revenge. She just said things about Cultivation and her world or tried to cheer him up with some words of support.

“Thanks, Sarah. Even with that power, it would be hard to go through all this shit alone. Having you as a partner is good. Fine… It’s time to use your ‘Teleport Token’?”

During their time together, Sarah explained her entire situation to Nero. She came from Golden Palace to Earth with a Teleport Token, a very rare mystical artifact that can send a person anywhere in the universe.

Still one of the best escape items of all, it has some drawbacks. If their enemy has a better Cultivate Rank than they, it can prevent them from putting the Qi on the token, not letting them activate it. But if anyone can put their Qi in the token, it will open a portal that sends them to a random place in the universe.

Sarah thanked all the Gods she could imagine, for appearing near the Vampire’s castle and find Nero, she could only think they were destined to take revenge together. She only regrets not having come in time to save Nero’s family. With that in mind, Sarah concluded that her father must have died at the same time as his family.

Sarah hasn’t told you all about what happened to her Dragon Clan yet. She does not want the massive difference between her old Cultivate level to disrupt Nero’s understanding of Qi.

“I only had two Teleport Tokens. Will leave us to a random place in the universe. Hopefully, it will be a world with large amounts of Qi, which allows Cultivation.”

In the infinite universe, there are many different worlds, the closer to “Elune,” which is the core of the universe, more excellent is the Qi. Elune, as the oldest planet, is the largest of the “Superior Worlds.” And the planets that are being created farther away from Elune are the “Inferior Worlds,” the farther from the Core, and those planets are newest with less Qi.

Earth, like many of the most distant, has so little Qi that there is no Cultivation. By contrast, in the Higher Worlds, Qi is very abundant, and all Cultivation is much faster and with fewer limits.

“Anyway, put your Qi in Token, and a portal will open and pull you.” Sarah was nervous at the thought of where Token would take them. She never fears most dangers, with her old Cultivation, But Nero was just in the second layer of “Qi Refinement.”

Sarah knew, while much safer in an Inferior World, it would still be full of dangers that could kill Nero in less than a second if they don’t always stay vigilant.

“So, let’s go!” Nero pressed in hands what looked like a coin format jewelry with a “?” symbol. He focused on his Qi, flowing all over his body and moving to the Token.

With a popping noise, a bright blue circle appeared in front of him. Inside the circle, whose diameter was about 2.5 meters, there was an image of a forest. It was not very clear, as if looking through the water.
for visiting.

Nero could feel the suction force of the portal, and he just had time to take one last look at the Earth before being pulled inside.

“Haaah!” Nero held his breath as his vision darkened. Less than two seconds later, he felt cold, but it soon passed, and he slowly blew out his breath and opened his eyes.

“How beautiful…” What was in his vision was the most beautiful forest Nero could imagine. The trees were giant, some over forty meters, and some even bigger, leaves of all colors and shapes, fruits he has never seen.

The ground had a soft grass of beautiful emerald green, and he could feel the delicacy even with his leather boots.

For Nero, the air was good for the first time, and it looked like there were bright particles everywhere. Vampires don’t need air, but they still have their complete breathing system. But in this world where Qi makes all nature better, he felt it was worth breathing in this nice fragrant air.

As a lively forest, there was much noise everywhere. Nero being a Cultivator and vampire, with powerful senses, he could hear birds singing, animals running, even the wind shaking the trees made a different noise from the earth.

“Sooo amazing… everything in this new world seems mystical” Having the first contact with this world, Nero, for a few moments, forgot his melancholy. He just stayed there and enjoyed all that new experience.

Until that beautiful voice in his mind brings his usual concentration back.

“Uhm… Very good, though an Inferior World, there’s a decent Qi. So you can grow up until we can go to Elune without being easy prey.” Sarah was already thinking of all the ways that Nero could go to the top of that world.

They were alone in an unknown world. All they had was a Qi Refinement Early-stage force and the vast knowledge of a Dragon race Princess. Lucky Sarah was someone who enjoyed reading and studying. She was a master that anyone in Inferior Worlds and even much in Superior Worlds would kill for.

“First, every mode of Cultivation varies by person. But one thing that is always needed is Qi Resources. These resources vary in rank and type, according to the compatibility of each person.”

“In your case, souls feed you because of Dark Souls Stone and blood because of your vampire constitution. Anywhere in the universe, this would be considered one of the most diabolical forms of Cultivation…” Sarah felt guilty for making Nero to Cultivate in such a corrupted way.

In the world of Cultivation, everything is allowed, and the only law is Strength. But not everyone accepts. “Evil means,” Dragon Race is one of the few people who think about Justice or equal rights.

“You know Sarah… I’m not looking for a peaceful place to live a fairytale. Our enemies chose not to play fair, and they will pay with their souls and blood.”

“Dark Souls Stone and I are already one existence. While you do not hate me, I will be the most terrible monsters of all, more diabolical than all who oppose us.”

“I can never hate you, Nero. We’ve already made our promise. We’ll always walk together, even in the darkest deep ways.”

“So just as I killed the humans of the earth, I will suck all the blood I can and absorb the necessary Qi to kill our enemies.”

“Yes… For now, we need allies, and you need to join some clan or sect. No one can know your means of Cultivation. You need to act like a normal cultivator. On the Path of Cultivation, everyone is always fighting and killing each other for resources and power.”

“How stronger you are, more enemies will appear. Blood will not be missing.”

“I see, and now how are we going to find these clans and sects?” Nero had been killing normal humans for two years, he already drank a lot of blood, but nothing was anything similar to Sarah’s blood. He was eager for Cultivators’ blood.

“We have to find a city, always be as discreet as possible, and we should not draw unwanted attention. Go ahead, and I can still use my spiritual sense in the state of a soul in the red world inside you. When I start feeling people, I’ll let you know which direction to go.”

“You’re very useful, Sarah… one day you can be a good wife…” Nero began to run through the woods while teasing Sarah’s spirit, which quickly turned red by abashment inside Red World. It was too much red to discern anything.

“I’ll make sure to ‘payback’ you when I have my body again! Stupid vampire…”

“Yes… You’ll have a lot to do at that time, but not what you expect, Princess…” Nero had no one else to consider family beside Sarah, and both are not good with words or showing affection. Spending two years together, their relationship only improves, even with no physical contact.

At least Nero can still focus on Red World and see Sarah’s face sometimes… But soon both get embarrassed and can’t talk much avoiding doing that a lot.

________________________________________

It’s been three hours. Nero had not found anyone yet or tracks or any indication of a city. But he can see a lot of plant, mineral and animal variety. Everything was new and kind of mystical.

Nero tried to drink the blood of a horned rabbit. Even though it was good, it was still very different from a Cultivator. In taste, Nero favored human blood but had some Qi gain, not enough to cause changes in his Dantian.

Vampires don’t eat anything except blood. That’s good sometimes and bad others. How stronger a Cultivator, the longer it can go without eating or sleeping. But in Nero’s case, his vampire body and heart of Dark Souls Stone require fresh blood in short periods.

Nero wasn’t sure if the question was more physical or mental, but he was very accustomed to killing and sucking blood. Against normal humans, it was easy to fight, and wherever he went, there was a bloody feast.

While Nero was lost in thought of taking a few liters of delicious blood from some sexy female Cultivator, Sarah felt a greater use of Qi from a distance. It could be a Beast in the early-stage of Qi Refinement or Cultivators.

“Nero! On the left, about a mile. Take care, and look at the situation before we think about how to proceed.” Sarah wanted to be sure what it could be before thinking of any movement.

As Nero approached where high Qi usage came from, he could hear voices and laughs. Nero understood nothing of that language, but it was clear that they were pleased with some discovery.

About a quarter-mile, Nero could see six men forming a circle around what appeared to be a young woman. Nero couldn’t see much of the girl’s body, but he noticed something he had never seen.

Fox’s ears… She had beautiful cute hairy ears that resemble a red fox.

“Humans intimidating other races… New world but old habits…” Nero had a melancholy air as if he could no longer see the same kind of scene.

“Everyone is in Qi Refinement, and two are in the second layer, two are away from the group in the third layer, all others are from the first. If you want, go ahead and give them the hell they deserve.”

“I’ll enjoy it” Then Nero’s lips expanded in a wide bright smile. Any woman would be fascinated, men would die in envy with that beautiful smile, but Sarah knew that after that smile, only despair would follow.

“I know you do…”
