Divine Emperor Of Time And Space - Chapter 1 Suffering And Wrath

Within the Fantasia continent there are many powerful families with elemental bloodlines, from the five main elements fire, water, earth, wind and nature to less known elements such as poison and death qi. The most powerful families are those with the bloodline of the five main elements. Each of the main elemental families rule a section of the fantasia continent where they suppress the minor bloodlines with their all encompassing might.

Shi Yan was from a declining noble family in the Earth kingdom with the special bloodline of time. The family was once one of the most powerful families in the kingdom until calamity struck and wiped out their most powerful elders and all their inheritance and fighting techniques. They were only left with the techniques to awaken their bloodline to the first level.

The family was in dire straits because only a few persons have been able to awaken their bloodline over the past 500 years. To escape the total destruction of the family the present elders decided to enter into a marriage agreement between themselves and another declining noble family with the bloodline of space. This allowed them to have a few descendants with a weak version of the space time ability.

These descendants were not able to use their abilities for attacking or defending, they were only able to use it to make simple storage rings and to preserve food. The families’ weakness caused them to be made into slaves by the royal family. They were forced to create storage rings for the royal family and treated as nothing more than animals meant to be pushed around.

Completed storage rings were usually collected by the imperial guards or one of the princes when they were in town ‘secretly’ visiting brothels or gambling. This just so happened to be one of the days that the crown prince of the kingdom was in town so he decided to pick up the shipment of storage rings and the whole clan was gathered at the gates to welcome him.

The crown prince of the kingdom Livia was a person notorious for his play boy ways he was known to have destroyed the lives of many young girls around the kingdom and had a bad reputation among the people of his kingdom and well today just happened to be the day that he was searching for a new plaything.

After a while of waiting a luxuriously decorated carriage which was being pulled by golden horses appeared in front of the clan gate and a handsome young man dressed in golden robes walked down from the carriage.

“We greet the crown prince”

Voices came from hundreds of clan members in neat rows kneeling before the crown prince. Their voices reverberated throughout the courtyard.

“I have no time to waste quickly bring out the shipment”

“As you command crown prince”

As the clan head who was Shi Yan’s grandfather bowed and started ordering the other clansmen to bring the shipment, the crown prince who was looking around happened to catch sight of a beautiful maiden who was none other than Shi Yan’s younger sister. She was a beautiful young girl with luscious lips, long black hair, a petite figure and eyes that sparkled like stars in the night, a maiden that could truly cause the downfall of an empire.

As soon as he saw this beautiful specimen the crown prince instantly decided that she would be his new plaything for the month.

“Whose daughter is this, I would like to give her the honor of warming my bed for a month, clean her up and bring her to my manor this instant.”

Shi Yan and all the other clan members were instantly enraged, this was the granddaughter of their clan head a person they looked up to and the crown prince dared to be this disrespectful to her.

The clan head quickly calmed down the other members of the family.

“I am sorry your highness but my granddaughter is not of age yet, please give her a few more years”

Of course the clan head wouldn’t hand over his only granddaughter to the crown prince who played with girls as if they were mere toys, he was only trying to buy time to give her a chance to escape.

The crown prince turned and looked directly into the clan heads’ eyes, a huge amount of pressure that came from someone who was used to being high above others struck the clan head.

Cold sweat filled his face.

“I did not ask a question I gave you a command, a command that you should not dare to disobey if you don’t want your bloodline to be cut off right here right now.”

The clan head clenched his teeth to hold back his rising anger.

“Your highness although we are a declining noble clan we are still nobles, please treat us fairly”

“My patience has run out, guards immediately capture that girl and bring her to the carriage”

The imperial guards who came with the carriage showed savage smiles as they walked towards the young girl.

The whole clan was immediately enraged.

“How dare you”

“We will fight it out with you”

“We won’t allow you to take away our Han’er”

The clan members all banded together to try and stop the imperial guards but how could they manage to stop these well trained imperial guards, they were all immediately subdued and captured.

Shi Yan stood in front of his sister with his back straight trying to protect her. Even though he knew that he did not have the power to stop them, he was not going to give up without a fight.

“I will not allow you guys to take away my sister”

“Stupid boy move out of the way”

The guard lifted his hand and with one slap hit Shi Yan into the arms of another guard.

“Yan’er!”

“Your highness you’ve gone too far!”

The clan head that was now bound and forced to kneel on the ground was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged from his forehead.

“Too far?, I haven’t even started as yet, I’ll show you true despair for daring to go against me, bring the girl over.”

Shi Yan shouted and struggled as he tried to get away from the imperial guard.

“No stop let her go!”

“I will kill you if you dare to lay a hand on her”

Shi Yan was so angry and scared at the same time that his whole body began to tremble and cold sweat ran down his back.

The crown prince just stared down at him condescendingly, the look in his eyes made it seem as if Shi Yan’s words were worth less than the dirt at the bottom of his shoe.

“Idiot trying to protect your sister from me, I commend you for your bravery but you’re stupid if you think that you could hurt me. Anything this prince wants he will get it and you know why, it’s because I have power that you can never fight against, even if you dedicated your whole life to improving yourself a weakling like you will never reach my level”

The crown prince roughly held Shi Yan’s sister by her hair began to forcefully strip her clothes in front of everyone. He then straddled her in his arms and roughly grabbed unto her smooth white peaks.

Shi Yan’s sister cried out loudly in fear, she was just a young girl who was barely at the age where she developed her first real crush.

“No! Stop please, someone help me, brother save me, I don’t want this, help me!”

The prince shouted with bloodshot eyes and a lewd grin on his face as he continued to strip the girl.

“Hahaha, I will allow everyone to watch as I take away this girls’ purity, you all will understand that being weak is a sin”

“No! Stop, I will definitely not allow you to hurt her! ”

Shi Yan shouted as he managed to find strength that was deeply hidden inside his body and forcefully escaped from the guards and ran towards the crown prince.

Within an instant he was in front of the crown prince and with his entire strength he threw a fist at the crown prince’ face.

‘crack’

The whole compound went silent the only thing that could be heard was bones breaking as Shi Yan’s fist hit a transparent barrier that suddenly appeared around the prince.

“ahhhhhh!”

Shi Yan screamed as his hand folded in on itself, joints fell out of place, large pieces of jagged broken bones and veins poked out of his arm and hot blood started to shoot out of his hand in large volumes dyeing the floor a dark red.

The crown prince stood there wide eyed and dumbstruck as the transparent barrier began to slowly dissipate. If it had not been for the transparent barrier he might have been severely hurt if not killed by that punch.

The prince began to turn livid as he realized that he was almost killed by someone he considered a slave of the royal family. A mere ant dared to not only attack him but also almost managed to succeed in hurting him.

“Die!”

The crown prince was enraged as he gathered his earth attribute power, a dirty yellow aura surrounded his arm until his arm could no longer be seen, he then looked directly into Shi Yan’s blood shot eyes pulled back his arm and punched him directly in the chest.

“Bam! Crack, crack, crack”

As Shi Yan already lost all his strength after punching the barrier, he was unable to gather the energy to dodge and flew several feet into the air as all the bones in his body not only broke through his skin but also stabbed into several vital organs.

“You dare try to lay your hands on me, fool I’ll let you know regret”

“Guards kill everyone, let no one escape, not even the animals should be spared, even the insects, I want to see them dead now!”

The imperial guards quickly responded and drew their swords then started to kill every living thing in sight.

“Nooo”

“Please spare us”

“I don’t want to die”

“Arghhhh”

“You stupid imperial bast-”

Blood began to spray all over the ground.

They killed the old and the young alike, even the animals in the household were not spared. Rivers of blood flowed throughout the Shi household as blood sprayed from the severed necks of the clan members.

Shi Yan could only lay there with blood flowing out of his body and dying slowly as he watched his entire family brutally slaughtered in front of him.

He watched his grandfather screaming in pain as the guards tore off his limbs with just their brute strength.

“Arghhhh”

He watched as they stuck spears in all the orifices of his father’s body, he watched as they brutally tortured his clan members and desecrated the home that he stayed in for the entire sixteen years of his life, he watched as they murdered, raped and pillaged with smiles on their faces as if they enjoyed seeing suffering of the weak clan members who could not resist their power. He watched as they laughingly ripped the organs out of the children who haven’t even been in this world for more than five years. He couldn’t even find the strength to scream or cry anymore.

The crown prince spoke as he drew a beautiful golden jeweled sword from its sheath on his waste. The sword was about a meter long and the sharp edge glinted in the sunlight shining with a devilish beauty.

“Idiot, you dare to attack me just because of this stupid little woman. Don’t worry I have no more use for her, there are many more beauties within the kingdom that are willing to die just for a night with me”

The crown prince raised the sword above his head and quickly swung it down on the neck of Shi Yans sister.

There was a flash of light and no more sound came out of the young girls’ lips. Slowly a thin blood red line started to appear on the slender neck of Shi Yan’s sister. Shi Yan felt as if he saw the entire thing in slow motion as his sisters’ head separated entirely from her body.

The crown prince laughed as he saw her head fall to the ground along with the rest of her body with blood shooting out of the arteries and veins on her severed neck. He then bent down, grabbed the head and threw it right in front of Shi Yan.

The prince started to talk with an air of nonchalance as if what he just did was as simple as breathing.

“Hmph, this empire is no longer in need of the services of your Shi family, the only reason you guys were kept alive is because of the pact the kingdom had with your ancestors but what is a pact before true power”

Tears of blood slowly flowed out of Shi Yan’s eyes as he watched the head fall right in front of him. He could see fear, despair and hatred in his sister’s wide open eyes. He felt as if he could still see his sister pleading to him for help begging him to save her but he was just too weak. He did not have the power to save her.

“Hahaha cry all you want that’s not going to help you!”

He then took the body of Shi Yan’s sister and threw it to the guards.

“You guys can go ahead and play with the body all you want it’s still warm”

“Long live the crown prince!” shouted all the guards

The crown prince then walked up to Shi Yan and held him by the hair and forced him to watch as the guards defiled and played with the bodies of the members of his family, not even the innocent children were spared. Shi Yan watched as they tore apart the bodies of his family members and drank the blood of his kin as if it was some sort of game to them. Shi Yan tried his best to get his voice out of his blood clogged throat.

“Stop” Shi Yan said as he threw up a mouthful of blood with some crushed organs.

“Hahaha” the crown prince laughed condescendingly.

“Stop?”, you must be joking we are just getting started”

Looking at all the chaos around him Shi Yan’s face slowly began to turn expressionless all the emotions that were in his eyes began disappear and die one by one.

His beautiful long sleek hair began to change from a deep black to the icy white color of snow. His deep black abyss like eyes slowly began to turn into an icy blue that seemed as if it could freeze the souls of any mortal being who dared to look into them.

The crown prince saw the changes in Shi Yan and slowly stepped back. Shi Yan then slowly began to stand up from the ground.

“Huh! How are you still able to move!” exclaimed the crown prince.

Shi Yan slowly turned his ice blue eyes towards the prince. The prince felt a chill run down his spine as he looked into those cold blue lifeless eyes.

“From birth my family and I have been ridiculed and looked down on by everyone around us but we still lived on and bore the pressure not only for our sake but also for the younger generation of our clan.”

“Throughout the ridicule and torture, we lowered our heads and endured, we did not dare raise our heads to even look at the sky, we secluded ourselves from the world, we tried not to offend anyone and we even endured being bullied by mere commoners on the street, all this so that we could survive.”

“All we wanted was to live in peace. We did all this so that we could survive to this day but why do people still keep doing this to us, why won’t they stop hurting us, why won’t they stop hurting my family, why won’t they just leave us alone!?”. “I, I hate this entire world, I hate this continent, I hate, I hate, I hate, I want it all to to —-”

..

“Just disappear”

As soon as Shi Yan said this something inside him broke and he started to rapidly age, his skin turned wrinkly until it started to peel off even his bones started to turn to dust until nothing was left in the spot where Shi Yan once stood, the same thing started happening to all the bodies of his family members.

Suddenly everything went quiet, the birds stopped chirping, the wind stopped whistling, the clouds stopped moving, everything on the Fantasia continent just went still.

The crown prince began to have an ominous feeling.

“Let’s hurry and leave I have a very bad feeling about this”

But as he tried to leave he realized that he couldn’t

“What? Why won’t my body move, is it due to fear”

“No that’s preposterous, there’s no way I the great crown prince could experience fear because of a mere mortal”

The crown prince wanted to run but he could not move a finger. As he continued to struggle, the earth beneath his feet began to peel off in layers, the pieces then floated into the sky and disappeared into thin air, the trees began to age, their leaves turned brown and their barks started to decompose and turn to ash even the crown prince and the imperial guards began to age at a rapid pace.

The crown prince wanted to scream but as soon as he opened his mouth his teeth fell out one by one as the handsome crown prince turned into a wrinkly old man and then slowly to dust. This phenomenon began to spread until it encompassed the entire Fantasia continent. Many powerful cultivators could be seen flying out from caves and large palaces trying to escape as quickly as possible but they were still caught within the phenomena and forcefully aged then wiped out from existence.

Every living thing on the Fantasia continent started to turn to dust, even the Fantasia continent itself started to disappear, until only the ocean was left which began to cover the area where the continent once existed.

At the cost of his life and the souls of his dead family members Shi Yan was able to unlock his time and space bloodline and used it to destroy the entire Fantasia continent. When persons came to find out what happened on the Fantasia continent after not getting any news for a few days, there was no more Fantasia continent, all that was left was the ocean in its place. A legend began to spread about how the Fantasia continent angered a god who then wiped out the whole continent.

As for Shi Yan the broken pieces of his soul slipped into a space time rift and completely disappeared.
