Strongest Offline Cultivation

(1st Person POV)

In the first full of trees and green lushes, I walked silently. I was wearing a green kimono. I had a sword sheath hanging on my waist.

Oh, right! I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Po. Yes, just Po! I no longer have a surname. I have no family, relationship, or one to care about.

The only thing that I have is my sword.

But, it wasn’t always like this. I had a father, mother, and even a master who taught me and helped me grow stronger. I was born into a high-class family in the Royal Capital of the Blue Star Kingdom as the son of the head of the family.

Usually, people would assume I lived my life in bliss. But, it was precisely the opposite. I was born with talent, but it came with a cost. My mother was just a lowly maid in the family.

My birth was a complete accident and my mother’s wish. Due to that, I faced a lot of bullying and punishments from the elders, especially my father’s lovers.

My father had five wives, and my mother wasn’t one of them. Even though she gave birth to me, my father never changed her status and constantly beat us.

There were various reasons, but primarily because of his wives’ jealousy.  As I said earlier, I was born with a lot of talent, so they were jealous of me and wanted to take out their jealousy of my mother.

Although I was talented, I was weak, and without any support, we lived a harsh life. At that time, I even had an enemy, unlike now. My enemy was none other than my father and his family.

I never thought I would get a chance to kill my enemy. But one day, a man found me. His name was Zhang Pu. He was the son of the Emperor, part of the royal family.

He was very kind, at least to me. He lived a life just like mine, but the circumstances were different. He had such a life because he didn’t have the talent despite being one of the sons of the Emperor.

On the other hand, I had talent but no status. He accepted me quickly. Although he wasn’t talented, the royal family supported him, and thus, he grew much stronger.

He taught me many things, and I slowly surpassed him in strength, but I never in my life thought of betraying him. He was the one to give me hope to live and kill my enemy.

I gradually got stronger until I finally succeeded in taking my revenge. I slaughtered that family. I killed every one of his wives in front of him before killing him.

I had the strength I wanted, but it also came with the cost. It was a condition/command he gave me before I could take my revenge. As I said before, I would never betray him. He was like a god to me but asked for something I couldn’t simply agree with.

When he asked me to join him, he had one dream.

It was to kill every single genius in this world and make this world equal.

He wanted me to become his sword, someone who would be capable of killing the geniuses.

But, mid-way, he changed his approach. Instead of relying on me, he said he would depend on himself. Of course, I wouldn’t mind that. But, to do so, he asked for something.

He told me the reason behind the talent I hold. He told me why the son of a maid would get so much talent.

Witch God Bloodline!

My mother and I had this bloodline. Both of us were highly talented due to that, but my mother never got a chance to bloom. As for me, although I got a chance, now I had a difficult choice to make.

A choice that was not supposed to be mine.

He asked me to give my mother to him for dual cultivation so that he could harness the talent of her Witch God Bloodline. I was ready to do anything for him, but when it came to my mother, I wasn’t prepared.

I couldn’t agree with him, but at the same time, I couldn’t decline him. I ponder over my life. I meditate and reflect on everything I did in my life.

One day, I came to a conclusion. It was a strange conclusion, and I never understood why I chose this path, but I chose to become the strongest swordsman in the world.

And I chose to do it harshly. After I had taken my revenge, I met my mother for the last time and said a proper goodbye to her. I cried in her embrace, and finally, I took the last steps.

I destroyed my cultivation. I destroyed my talent. I destroyed my relationships. I destroyed everything I had before that very minute. After that, I was just Po, a swordsman with nothing but a sword.

And then, I went to challenge the strongest swordsman I could find. I challenged him and finally understood the meaning of my life. I finally understood what I was truly meant to search for.

Death!

I wanted death, a death that comes after gaining the strongest strength. It was a glorious death but also a death without any funeral. I found the meaning of death by entering the life and death situation during battle.

And understanding that unless I became the strongest swordsman, I wasn’t allowed to die. And at the same time, I wasn’t allowed to rest until I defeated every powerhouse in the world.

So, searching for a life and death battle became my obsession. Ruthless Dao became my sword dao. My heart was filled with ruthlessness. But, I wasn’t cruel to others but myself.

Because I was ruthless enough to cut off everything except for the sword, sometimes I even wonder if I could ever cut off my blade. But whenever that thought came to my mind, I shook my head and ignored it.

As I was saying, I was passing through the forest. It has been a few days since I have been here. I have been around this forest because Zhang Pu has done something.

Of course, my relationship with him had already been cut off, but he was the one who gave me everything. So, I promised him that I would make three moves. I will fight three times for him but only to save him.

Currently, devils are roaming inside the Five Regions. And the person who summoned them was none other than Zhang Pu. He told me he had become the devil’s inheritor and future leader.

It was one of the main reasons why he decided to rely on himself. Before, he had no choice but to depend on me, but now, he had a choice: dual cultivate with my mother and increase his talent.

My mother was also with him. After all, I broke my relationship with her because I couldn’t see her becoming his dual cultivator as her son. But, I also couldn’t refuse him.

Though now it doesn’t matter at all.

Three creatures appeared in front of me as I kept walking in the forest. They had a devilish appearance, and it was visible due to their strange dark skin and black horns.

Almost no other creature had black horns, so as long as a creature has a black horn, he is a devil, even if his appearance looks like a human. Those black horns were the representation of the Devil Race.

“Jie! Jie! Jie! The fresh blood of a human. Many humans have scattered throughout the Five Regions, and I didn’t expect to stumble upon a single one. Don’t you have a group?” The devil in the middle cruelly laughed and asked.

I just decided to ignore it and walked forward. When I got closer, I moved to the side and passed them. The devils didn’t understand my action as they couldn’t comprehend whether I was fearless or a fool.

Suddenly, one of the demons thrust his fist toward me with great intensity. My eyes flickered a bit, and a sword pierced his head the next moment.

Splash!

“Devil…. Should I fight them?” I asked myself as two more swords appeared in the air.  Those devils looked at the swords with horror and tried to attack, but before they could move, the sword pierced their foreheads.

I shook my head and muttered, “They are with him. Although I don’t care much, I don’t want to make trouble for him. I should wait for them to find me. It seemed like these devils won’t let a single human escape.”

At this moment, my eyes shifted toward the sky as I found many young people being carried by some elders. I sighed.

“Sun Dragon Sect! It seems like the elders and the disciples are forced to flee. Now, what do you want to do, Pu? Are you going to take over the kingdom or retreat? Would you need my help?”

“I hope you would.”

When I said that to myself, a smile appeared on my lips, I shook my head and continued walking forward as a few monsters came out of the trees, shivering and looking at the three devils.
