This was the true pleasure of life - the real weak are those who make excuses for their losses or failures.

In Clark's view:

• "Whether I die or lose, what happens happens. In the end, I'll try again and again. Like my enemies, perhaps they will crush me."

•"Perhaps I'll make a mistake, but in my heart I don't fear confrontation or death."

•"Ultimately, all humans are both main characters and supporting characters at the same time."

•"The difference between the two is that some strive and resist circumstances."

•"Sometimes submit to your circumstances, and when they turn their back on you - attack!"

•"The peak is difficult, not easy. Of course it's not easy."

•"But as long as I still breathe and my arsenal is armed with a heart of steel and willpower forged through setbacks, I will never fall!!!"

Clark was awake, contemplating all these things. The Clark of today was not the Clark of yesterday, but something entirely different.

His eyes had become intensely black, almost empty - no, they had become completely empty. He had sealed his heart and abandoned all emotions. A difficult and long road lay ahead, for Clark was ultimately a lone knight.

His armor bore wounds and enemy arrows, but no matter how many injuries and arrows accumulated, as long as he could walk, he would fight on.

---

Three days passed during which Clark lived in extreme comfort, not out of love but for relaxation.

Clark stood at the highest point surrounded by crimson flowers. It was the radiant autumn linden season. The sky shone with stars and the full moon.

Clark looked at the moon - it was an indescribable feeling, as if a ton of emotions and sorrows had been lifted from his shoulders.

Clark said:

•"When life began, it was pure like this sky. Only Ren Zu existed, and after him humanity continued its simple life."

•"No one cared that they only lived a hundred years."

•"But ultimately, that was the limitation of human thinking."

•"What angers me is that the world is full of things we can explore, yet we prefer isolation and await our death."

•"I won't remain standing here waiting. I will take risks and inevitably find my goal."

Clark smiled and expelled all the sorrows, hidden desires, sadness, happiness, love, and betrayal from his heart. Now this man's heart had become completely empty, leaving only perseverance!!!

---

Clark returned inside the hut and slept.

He woke alone at dawn; Chu Chenqi hadn't awakened. Clark looked at her beautiful face; they slept beside each other, though Clark hadn't touched her body, he said:

•"Perhaps if we met in one of my previous lives, I would have loved you."

•"But what I am now is completely different from before!!!"

BOOM!!!

A massive attack on the hut. Through the dust came a familiar voice:

•"A romantic atmosphere worthy of an adulterous couple! Are you two happy?!"

Chu Chenqi angrily said:

•"Respect yourself, Huang Bo Feng Li! And know exactly where you are right now!"

Huang Bo roared furiously:

•"I came for you, trying to help you! You never removed your veil for me even once, but for this bastard of unknown lineage, you removed your veil!"

BAM BAM BAM!

Fists materialized from shadowy skies. Clark attacked fiercely, hovering at the peak of heavenly fists, demonic red aura blazing from his eyes.

Huang Bo Feng Li was injured! If he weren't specialized in body refinement, he would be dead now!!!!

Clark was completely different now! Beyond his heart's calm and energy's ferocity, he was no longer injured and could unleash his full power without fear of death.

Clark declared:

•"I'll state my piece: This one you describe as having no lineage and unimportant..."

•"I am Clark the Devil, also known as Zu Long of the Black Clouds Sect."

•"So how dare you compare yourself to me?!!"

All the elders gathered at Clark's words, shocked when they learned he was Clark. But they were all terrified.

He resembled a demon king hovering above shadowy fists with his terrifying manifestation - The World!!! - behind him.

Suddenly Clark charged again, The World behind him, directing numerous strikes. Huang Bo Feng Li was being cornered.

With differences in training and mentality, the gap was immense. Clark had been trained and refined for a full year under Tai Fei, whose refinement level even his disciple Clark didn't comprehend!!!

It was a losing battle - you could say it was like a battle between mortal and immortal!!!

Clark laughed like a madman, the terrifying scene of the sun behind him: eight heavenly and colossal fists hovering in the sky.

Han Song asked:

•"Can this power even be classified as human?!"

Han Yuan replied:

•"This boy didn't lie when he said he was from a sect - he's the Devil Clark after all!"

•"From what I heard, he entered the Beast King's mountain and reached its eighth level!"

•"And he was pursued by four combat masters, one possessing an immortal body!!!!"

Han Song asked:

•"You mean he overcame all these circumstances?!!"

•"Exactly! Do you think if he had lost or died, you'd see him before you like this?!"

The atmosphere grew more majestic. Never had such a demon been seen hovering over a crimson flower-covered plateau, his body illuminated by the sun trying to block the view.

---

But amid everyone's awe, Clark madly charged toward Huang Bo Feng Li, who didn't dare adopt an offensive stance but took a defensive position.

The attack wasn't with one fist but two: Clark's right hand and above it The World's fist - Clark's terrifying manifestation.

Clark's body pumped with black aura because he had summoned The World.

BOOM!!!!

Huang Bo Feng Li flew toward the elders, severely injured.

Han Yuan rushed to catch Huang Bo Feng Li:

•"Prince, are you alright?!"

He soon spat saying:

•"What terrifying attack?! Though he used no combat technique, he shattered many of my bones."

Han Song soon came to Huang Bo:

•"This youth cannot be restrained."

•"Fwahahahahahaha! Ke ke ke ke ke! Imperial families! Ha! You're nothing but farts before this gentleman standing before you!"

Clark said this, interrupting everyone.

Han Song didn't speak much, quickly taking out pills. The Vein Pills could crazily boost the eater's energy, but only if their body could withstand their power.

Ultimately, they boost your power for limited time, after which you suffer violent backlash and might die.

Huang Bo Feng Li said terrified:

•"You're mad! You want us dead?!"

Han Song replied:

•"What then? Do you have a better plan? We'll die by his hand if we don't use this plan!"

---

Clark watched from afar, knew their plan, but only blind confidence showed in his eyes. No matter how flies resist, they can't withstand overwhelming force.

Everyone swallowed one pill. The four stood with insane aura.

Huang Bo said:

•"Hahahahaha! What insane aura?! It's truly terrifying! My power has risen terrifyingly!"

Clark looked at them indifferently.

Qiu Ran, Tian Ling and his uncle, and Yao Hua elders appeared, all asking Chu Chenqi:

•"How did things escalate like this?!"

But when Qiu Ran saw Clark, he said in terror:

•"Hehe! Venerable aura!!!"

Huang Bo Feng Li arrogantly said:

•"Clark! Surrender your head without resistance!"

Clark sighed:

•"If you want my head, I pity you! Face my heavenly fists!"

Eight fists charged with deadly attack. All tried to evade, but the destructive power of Clark's fists exceeded their imagination.

Han Yuan was brutally injured by Clark's fist that shattered his lower body.

He said: "Cough!" Spat saying:

•"Han Song! You bastard! How dare you deceive us like this?!"

Clark looked at them laughing inwardly:

•"If they were close to Long Tianba's power, they'd truly be a threat and I'd flee now, but with their weakness like this, the battle is very easy."

---

Clark surprised them with a charge. His coordination with his techniques was terrifying - he had refined the Phantom Monarch's Fist technique to horrifying levels.

He kicked Han Song's face, sending him flying, then grabbed Han Yuan by the neck:

•"Elder Yuming! Your death would have been easier had you not dared to publish the bounty on my head so boldly!"

•"Despite knowing my capabilities, you dared to have your disciples search everywhere in the Jade Territories!"

•"Therefore, your reckoning with me is extremely difficult! Are you prepared for it?!"

Han Yuan terrified replied:

•"No! Please! I'm sorry! I wouldn't have dared oppose you and do what I did if not for Huang Bo Feng Li's family! He's the reason!"

But Clark didn't respond; instead, The World's fist pierced Han Yuan's chest at incredible speed and extracted his heart!

Han Yuan breathed his last saying:

•"Return it to me..."

BOOM!!! His heart exploded brutally.

Clark threw Han Yuan's corpse toward the rushing poisons, but with a wave of his fist, the poisons dispersed before him.

Clark laughed:

•"Han Song! For your information, I wanted you last to settle my debt, but you're eager for me to sever your neck! You're first!"

•"Well, since that's your wish, I won't deprive you of it."

---

Chu Chenqi was terrified. She muttered beside her sisters:

•"This isn't Zu Long or whatever his name was! Where did that youth go? Why has he become such a demon?!"

•"No! He wasn't a demon - he was protecting himself from the beginning! Protecting himself from danger!!!"

Clark charged attacking, but... BAM!!!

He received a punch to the back. Clark didn't move an inch, but turned terrifyingly. He didn't utter a single word.

BAM BAM BAM!!!

Three brutal punches, the last shattering Huang Bo Feng Li's jaw, depriving him of speech.

He looked at Clark in terror. Clark's fist completely destroyed his pride...

BOOM! It pierced Huang Bo Feng Li's body, blood splattering across his face.

---

Clark finally looked at Han Song, whom heaven had temporarily saved from death.

Clark delivered a deadly speech:

•"Now there exists no heaven, no earth, no rat hole, no paradise, no family that can protect you from your doom."

•"Prepare yourself, for your death will be the cruelest among them!"

BOOM!!! Clark's heavenly fist descended, brutally striking Han Song to the ground, shattering the hill.

Then two more appeared beside the first. The blows rained brutally on Han Song, one after another without mercy.

Then the fists withdrew. Han Song lay paralyzed on the ground; each blow had disabled him and destroyed his cultivation foundation.

Clark lifted his disabled body, then said:

•"I want you to say loudly: You killed Chu Chenqi's brother!"

•"Otherwise I'll heal your body and beat you and beat you, making you be crushed repeatedly to infinity!"

Han Song's heart trembled, for Clark meant every word.

Han Song said loudly:

•"Yes! I killed him! I killed Chu Jiu Ji!" (Chu Chenqi's brother's name)

Upon hearing this, Chu Chenqi's heart trembled.

A sharp demonic aura appeared - the Heavenly Devil's technique! Clark brutally severed his head and threw his body. This was a terrifying slaughter later named "The Crimson Hill Massacre."

The place filled with blood, especially around Clark.

Clark went to Chu Chenqi:

•"You heard him now and eased your heart. Now I've repaid all my debts."

---

A great lightning bolt descended from heaven, terrifying power! Even Clark didn't know the cultivation foundation of this majestic descent's owner! Meaning his power matched the three ancestors of the Black Clouds Sect!!!

A terrifying man, an elder with long downward-curved mustache.

He said terrifyingly:

•"You will come with me!!!!"

BOOM!!! His hand pierced Clark's chest!!!!
