Poison God's Heritage

Why is it out? Wasn\'t this thing trapped inside the cube made by the former King? How did it manage to leave its prison?

All of these questions needn\'t be answered now, for the moment we have to get the hell out.

"RUN! HURRY!" I shouted. Everyone legged it as if hell itself was on their heels while my puppets immediately began jumping at the incoming fiend.

They climbed up its frame stabbing at it with sword and claw, and shot at it with everything in their arsenal.

The creature shrugged off the bullets as if they were made of beans while the swords bent or shattered against its hard skin.

Void stage-level puppets were getting crushed and smashed around as the creature moved up the stairs.

The creature wasn\'t planning on stopping anytime soon, it made it halfway through the stairs when we barely made it to the door. But the door was on a timer and we needed thirty seconds before it could close.

If this thing gets out, shit will get ugly. It\'s strong enough to break out of the Thunder Domain and begin hosting and assimilating even more of its kind into the beyond. An outbreak of these things would recreate what happened to Solaris the home of Tong Yao the current Queen.

"It mustn\'t leave! " I heard through my divine sense, it was Tong Yao\'s worried voice. Though these things had already destroyed her home, she wouldn\'t want the same to happen to other worlds.

"How the hell did it even get out in the first place?!" I questioned.

"I don\'t know! My father had sealed it first, it should have several binding chains all over its body preventing it from moving even inside the cube."

I didn\'t have time to deduce what happened. So I snapped my neck toward Dao Shen and the rest.

"Go out first!" I called out, "And don\'t use your Qi when you\'re outside! The thunder is still unstable!"

My head turned back to the incoming Rakshasa. Rage was displayed in my expression as I slapped both hands together in a powerful prayer motion. The band holding my hair snapped as it fluttered along my clothes all over me in a shockwave.

"True and False! Domain of Delusions!" was spoken as if it was the decree of a deity upon the land.

Immediately, a wave of darkness flew out all around me, creating a giant dome where only I rule. The laws of physics were reversed and all that I command within my domain can only be true.

The incoming creature was trapped inside the domain and began walking back, but it didn\'t even take it a fraction of a second before it started moving forward again.

My nose began bleeding as I realized that this fucker understood the base of my Domain in less than a second and is now reversing all of its actions.

It came at me with an open claw aiming to rip my existence itself out of the world.

"Illusion within Illusion!"

Immediately my body morphed into a mirage and the already reversed world became out of control. Gravity, pressure, and even air and friction were messed up.

The creature\'s body was now in a strange state, gravity was messed up around its feet, some had a higher gravitational pull, while others had no gravity applied to them whatsoever.

The notion of friction was removed, making it slip immediately as it tried to take a step, and due to the low pressure and void of where we were right now, even its sound attack was rendered useless.

As I could see from how the beast opened its mouth wide, and its gullet was rippling, it must have wanted to blast me out with a powerful sound wave but no sound could come out in a vacuum.

Seeing the weird domain that trapped it was not allowing it to move or act as it should was the last straw for the Noble Rakshasa.

Its exoskeletal body began shaking and two massive wings ripped out of its back. The wings had bones for frame and the thin fabric between them was a blue fluorescent color that shimmered powerfully in the dark.

What looked like cracks but were simply the small spaces between its exoskeleton parts shined bright in the darkness and a powerful wave of… soul energy? Ruptured out.

Wait? Soul energy? How? How is that even possible?

More questions began filling my mind but I didn\'t have the time to process them. Because the absurd amount of Soul Energy soon became a divine sense and started shattering my domain. It felt as if it was made of eggshells as it broke and crumbled right in front of my eyes.

Blood shot out of my nose and mouth like a torrent as a mortifying wave of nausea assaulted me.

Usually cultivators would bite on their tongues to wake themselves up from this situation, but I\'m not a fan of body mutilation.

For this case I always carry a small pack of smelling salts, that shit is so strong it can make even a Sun Stage cultivator wince.

My mind was shocked into waking up immediately after as the fiend flew up forward, not sparing me a single glace as it went past me and toward the door.

"Look Its arms! It is still sealed but only partially!" the queen said.

"Why does that even matter?" I asked.

"The seal is only temporarily halted, it somehow managed to stop it for a moment. Once it is enabled it should manifest chains that will wrap and pull it back to the depth of the bastion. We need more time."

Thunder boomed outside as the skies turned darker and darker and thick lightning bolts began spiraling and coiling under the belly of the storm.

All I bought were a few precious seconds but I couldn\'t stop the Noble Rakshasa, it was going to leave the area soon and all hell would break out outside. And now I need even more time. How am I going to do that, I couldn\'t even halt it for more than a few seconds nor was I able to tamper with its time perception inside the Domain of Delusions.

Time… time… how to buy time?!

The gears in my head began spinning at incredible speed as I saw the rakshasa almost at the exit.

An idea suddenly popped up in my mind.

I pulled my revolver and shot a bullet deeper into the bastion floor right at the foot of the staircase.

I held my hand up then twisted it, enabling the Heaven Swapping Ring by changing position between myself and the bullet that bounced.

I then slapped my holding bag pulling out tons of explosive canisters that I threw above me.

In my vision the Noble Rakshasa was at the exit, it stood there and began screeching loud, enough that his voice increased to the extent that it could no longer be heard but now it was visible.

Its loud screech rippled and ripped the very fabric of space itself. It didn\'t leave the bastion yet but merely screech out loud at the doorway. Perhaps it was presenting itself to the outside world. That it had returned.

Though creepy and terrifying I was thankful for that, after all, it was arrogant enough to waste a few seconds at the exit of the Bastion.

Did it want to leave in style? Like hell if I\'m going to allow that.

I raised my hand up and twisted it once more.

Before one would use their Qi, you can almost sense how much you\'ll be using. For example, my poison breath would make me feel as if I breathed out until nothing was left in my lungs, a small tug of exhaustion that can easily be recovered.

The stronger the Qi usage the more powerful the initial perception would be. And here I was trying to force an entity that is far higher level than me in cultivation to change position between myself and it. Forcing it out of the grasps and clutches of spatial law and bending them to my own will.

Let me just say, that the cost made me feel as if every blood cell in my body was wrenched out of my body at the same time.

But it had to be done. My hand fully twisted and the creature\'s entire body was transported into where I was when I appeared on the door. The last thing I saw was the confusion of the Noble Rakshasa as its body had been forced back into the bastion.

But that was it. Confusion only, no range or madness or even anger or a will to fight back. It was only a small bit of confusion, then a wide grin appeared on its freaky jaw.

As if saying… that it no longer mattered.

The seal on the Noble Rakshasa began manifesting in bright gold color before the cannisters that I had thrown a second earlier started exploding.

I was bucking over, almost falling back into the staircase when unexpectedly it was the Fire King who grabbed my by the robes and dragged me out in one swing.

In that moment the massive door in front of me suddenly shut down.

The door is shut… finally.

My mind couldn\'t keep up with the exhaustion and it soon began fading.

It\'s been a long time since I lost consciousness… damn.
