Chapter 3438: Untitled

While Lu Qingchen was asking and talking, he was clicking his tongue in amazement and roaring in fury. His questions were all weird and incomprehensible to Gus.
Gus was too scared to ask too many questions of the mysterious devil. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he could only tread deeper and deeper into the forest where there seemed to be no way out.
“So, the people of your world do nothing but study fist arts to please the Fist God?”
At this moment, Lu Qingchen continued asking with a smile, “But how are you going to shatter the void and meet the Fist God?”
The question hit the nail on the head.
Although he was born weak and useless, just like all the other young men in the world of the Fist God, he had dreamt countless times that he would be summoned by the Fist God to crush the mountains and rivers and shatter the void. Without thinking, he blurted out, “If you want to shatter the void, you must first master the ‘Fist of Heaven’.”
Gus told Lu Qingchen that the experts of the Fist God’s World were divided into four levels, each of which had nine stars.
The first level was ‘Fist of the Earth’. Experts of this level could tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands and fight against giant bears. One punch was enough to blow the skulls and brains out of mammoths with their thick skin. In short, the higher one’s star level was, the more invincible one would be in the world. When one reached the ‘Novem Stellae’, he could kill thousands of kilometers with his bare hands. No ferocious beasts could stop him. He was known as the ‘King of Beasts’.

Therefore, the Earth Fist was also known as the ‘Beast King Domain’.
The second level was ‘Fist of the Ocean’. For the experts in this level, other than the fact that they were invulnerable, their physical strength was endless, and they could resist the immense pressure from the outside world with their intimidating aura.
Experts who practiced the Fist of the Ocean to the highest level could walk into the ocean from the seashore step by step and push away the seawater with their aura. Even if they were swallowed by the seawater, they could still maintain air bubbles from two meters to a hundred meters in diameter. When they reached the ‘Novem Stellae’, they could even reach the bottom of the ocean hundreds of meters deep.
“My father used to be an expert of ‘Five Star Ocean’.”
Gus told Lu Qingchen proudly, “Although Red Gold Town is not near the ocean, there is a huge lake named ‘Devil Dragon Pond’ that is almost three hundred meters deep nearby. The most brutal creatures of the sea are everywhere within a hundred square kilometers. They can even bite off half of a fishing boat. My father, on the other hand, was able to swim in the water from the east bank of the Devil Dragon Pond, walk all the way from the bottom of the lake that is almost two hundred meters deep, and climb up from the west bank. During the journey, he killed countless brutal creatures of the sea, but there was not even a drop of water on him. His clothes were dry when he went ashore. Therefore, the ‘Fist of the Sea’ is also known as the ‘Sea King’. When he mastered the ‘Novem Sea’, he was the well-deserved king of the deep sea!”
“Is he that good?”
Lu Qingchen exclaimed. Then he suddenly changed the topic and said, “No wonder you didn’t believe that your father believed in ‘the power of machinery and steam’!”
Gus was speechless and frustrated.
“Don’t be angry. I was just joking with you.”
Lu Qingchen grinned. “If the path of iron fists is really the strongest force in the world, and your father is an expert who has reached the five-star level in the path of iron fists, how could he be so stupid as to fall into the evil path? There must be something wrong. Maybe your father was fooled?”
“Yes, Dad must’ve been fooled!”
Gus was refreshed, as if he had met a lighthouse in the darkness and grabbed a straw when he was drowning.
Although he had run away from Red Gold Town together with his sister, their thoughts were completely different.
His sister’s purpose was to avenge his father.
But Gus was trying to prove his father’s innocence. He did not believe that his father, a loyal believer of the iron fist arts, would betray and degenerate for no reason. His father was the most upright, loyal, and reliable man in the world!
His father was never wrong.
Unless the path of iron fists was wrong?
Gus’s eyes were wide open. He could not understand how the evil thought that looked like a rotten earthworm crawled into his brain.
He suddenly shivered and was soaked in cold sweat. Holding his head, he stared at the devil and screamed, “What—what did you do to me?”
“But I didn’t do anything!”
Lu Qingchen’s face was full of innocence. Looking at Gus’s face, he more or less understood what was going on. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t have lit the dazzling match in front of the poor man who was born in the darkness. But I need the feeble light to find my own path. What can I do? I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. Please continue. What’s the level after the Sea King Stage?”
Gus calmed himself down and took a deep breath, telling the devil that it was the ‘Heavenly King Stage’.
Gus did not know much about the Heavenly King Stage.
It was an unattainable level that was close to the space jump. There were barely any such places in Red Gold Town over the past hundreds of years. Fist centers such as Heavenly Essence City were few and far between.
Gus only knew that the Heavenly King Stage was also known as ‘Fist of the Sky’. Those who had reached this stage could fly.
At first, he could only float in the air and reach a height of dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters.
The deeper he practiced, the faster he would be able to fly against the wind. He might even be able to fly into the sky.
As for the ‘Broken Realm’, which was even higher than the Heavenly King Stage, Gus knew even less about it. He could only tell the devil that it was probably the best fist art in the sky after it reached the highest heaven. If it was sophisticated enough and reached an unprecedented level, it would be able to receive the guidance of the Fist God and enter another world—a higher world of deities and devils where it could enjoy an eternal and wonderful life.
“Another world? Chi. Chi! Chi!”
The devil couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.
“What, you think I’m lying? Is there no higher world of deities and devils?”
Gus’s face darkened.
The young man had had enough of panic and humiliation today. He decided to defend his beliefs.
“No, no, no. You’ve misunderstood. Of course, I believe in the existence of a ‘higher-level world of deities and devils’. In fact, I came from there,” Lu Qingchen said with a smile.
“What?”
Gus was surprised. “That’s impossible. You are lying to me!”
“Of course, somebody is lying to you, not me.
Lu Qingchen said, “As you said, it is a world of deities and devils at a higher level. Since I am a devil, what’s wrong with me coming from there?”
Gus was lost for words.
He had always thought that there were two worlds, one heaven and the other hell.
Naturally, the Fist God lived in heaven. The cunning devil was definitely from hell.
However, the deities definitely knew more about each other than the mortals did. Therefore, it was not unusual that the devil knew something about heaven after the space jump.
Glancing at his sister who was walking silently in front of him, Gus found that something beyond his control was stirring inside his heart, too. Although he knew that his sister was probably lying to him, he still swallowed and stammered, “Then—then tell me, what is the world of deities and devils exactly like? Can mortals really break through the void and go there?”
“World of Gods and Demons…”
Looking at the sky that was gradually dyed black but without any stars, as if it had been sealed, Lu Qingchen mumbled, “It is no different from this place. There is no ‘immortality’, nor is there any ‘marvelousness’. It is not impossible for ordinary people to go there, but you might not be able to bear the… price of ascending to a higher dimension in the way that you think.”
