"We need to clean up this mess!" wu Jin Ming exclaimed, looking at the scattered corpses filling his courtyard.
Rubby nodded.
The two of them prepared to take out their holy fire and burn all the corpses away immediately.
"Wait, Dad, Mom!" screeched Tian Yu who was advancing forward to show another way.
Rubby and Wu Jin Ming looked at each other to see what their son was going to do. Between believing and disbelief, they let Tian Yu experiment with the corpses. Genius child seems to only need to be guided and directed, the rest he must already know what he should do.
Tian Yu's small body walked through the air and stopped at a considerable distance from both of his parents. Both of his hands were stretched out to the side with his palms open upwards. From the two palms of Tian Yu came out different holy fire energies, apparently the two holy flames belonging to his parents were also stored in his body.
Tian Yu unleashed onto those two holy flames in the air and allowed it to continue spinning along with his two hands which moved him with remote control.
Wu Jin Ming and Rubby had never seen this style before, they thought that it was a new one made by Tian Yu.
From every corpse that was there came out a light of different colors. It was round like marbles, people used to call it spirit core or pure soul core. The spirit cores gathered together to form a giant sphere.
Tian Yu picked up the ball then swallowed it immediately. His body lit up brightly and in an instant he turned into a child who was roughly ten years old. Not only that, the aura of energy emanating in his body increased sharply.
After successfully retrieving the spirit cores from those corpses, Tian Yu wanted to exterminate those empty bodies in one energy throw.
With his strength, the corpses were stacked into one. The holy fire that had been circling in the air, now he was magnified by his new strength that he had just absorbed. The fire continued to grow and enveloped the bodies.
Booms!
An extremely loud explosive sound rang out as Tian Yu unleashed the flames to exterminate the corpses earlier.
In an instant the corpses shattered into tiny particles resembling water vapor.
The steam flew through the air and then disappeared.
"Where did you learn this, honey?" asked Rubby to walk over to Tian Yu.
Tian Yu seemed to be thinking of explaining it because in fact he himself had accidentally discovered this move.
"I'm just trying, Mom. I wasn't sure if this was gonna work either." Tian Yu spoke as he scratched his non-itchy head.
"You're getting taller, honey. I can't carry you anymore." Rubby patted Tian Yu on the shoulder whose height was already almost parallel to his shirt.
"I'm not a spoiled child, Mother. I want to help you fight against your enemies." The look in Tian Yu's eyes showed his seriousness.
Tian Yu was the perfect version of Wu Jin Ming. If Wu Jin Ming was still merciful towards the enemy, it seemed like that did not apply to him. Tian Yu's assertiveness made him unable to let anyone who harassed him feel free, whoever it was still had to die in his hands mercilessly.
"Dad believes that one day you will become the ruler who rules over this entire realm Tian Yu. I'm proud of you!" Wu Jin Ming patted Tian Yu on the shoulder while smiling proudly.
The three of them entered their home after the fight was over.
"Mother! I'm hungry!" tian Yu said as she rubbed her stomach.
"Dad too!" Wu Jin Ming followed.
"Alright I'll ask the waiter to cook." Rubby's walking up front.
"Mi just instant, Mom!" wu Jin Ming and Tian Yu exclaimed simultaneously.
Rubby stopped his steps and looked back at the child and her husband.
"You are indeed children and fathers who like instant noodles," cried Rubby while shaking his head and then walking back to continue his steps.
That afternoon they finally ate the three instant noodles before cleaning up and preparing to return to the palace of the Holy Tiger Kingdom.
Tian Yu liked him as much as his father. He asked his mother to bring a lot of instant noodles to the palace of the Holy Tiger Kingdom. Wu Jin Ming agreed to it because the stock he was carrying was running out. Forced Rubby to obey him, otherwise Tian Yu would definitely continue whining until he got what he wanted.
After picking up and storing the instant noodles in his storage ring, Rubby took the child and her husband to prepare to return to the Holy Tiger Kingdom.
"Well, this room is great!" tian Yu exclaimed as they were already inside the room.
Walk around while touching the items that caught his attention. Almost everything he asked until Rubby was tired of answering.
"Already! Let's just take a shower." Wu Jin Ming immediately cut through Tian Yu's chatter, otherwise it would be impossible until nightfall, Tian Yu's questions would be endless.
Tian Yu also obeyed his father. He followed Wu Jin Ming away to the bathroom. Just like Wu Jin Ming back then, Tian Yu also felt astonished by the bathing place in the human world with in the demon world. Wu Jin Ming wanted to laugh at Tian Yu's silliness while recalling his memories of the time he experienced it himself.
Wu Jin Ming patiently helped Tian Yu take a bath and explained what needed to be explained. Tian Yu was very fond of the shampoos and soaps he was wearing back then. Wu Jin Ming finally brought the one that was still intact and kept it inside his storage ring.
Outside the bathroom, Rubby looks impatient waiting for his turn to take a shower.
"Definitely Tian Yu felt confused by the way of bathing in the human world. Hm. He was very similar to his father" Rubby murmured as he leaned against the wall by the window and stared at the outside scene to drive away his saturation.

In a place far away from the crowd, a red-robed man walked limped down the path on the edge of the cliff. According to the information he had obtained, behind the rock hill he was climbing right now was a great cultivator meditating there. That person wanted to ask for his help to help his clan fight Wu Jin Ming.
After a difficult journey, the red-robed person finally arrived behind the Fire Dragon Hill.
His tired and scarred body was leaning against a large tree. Thirst made his throat seem dry, his lips turning pale. After resting for a while, his body was slightly better and he could move to walk in search of a source of water.
He walked around but did not find any springs or rivers. The red-robed person did not know if there were some kind of plant that could spit out water to quench thirst. His extremely tired body made him collapse to hit a rock overgrown by wild plants.
Without him knowing it turns out that the wild plants cover a cave hole. His body that lost its balance fell and rolled around following the hole which carried him constantly in because of the condition of the declining bottom of the hole. Arriving at the most basic place in the cave, the body of the red-robed man stopped.
With his crumbling body, the man crept up in the darkness looking for a wall to hold on to and help him stand up.
His smile rose on his tired and agonized face as the wall of the cave he touched drained water. His palm cupped and then held the water in the basin of his hand. He immediately sipped the water to quench his thirst.
His body felt refreshed and slowly the pain he felt before disappeared. It turned out that the water not only eliminated his thirst but also restored his body. The red-robed man laughed loudly until it echoed throughout the cave room.
"Who's there?" A voice of an adult man made the red-robed man stop his laughter.
The red-robed person opened his palm and released energy to illuminate the dark cave. He walked around looking for where the voice had come from. The extremely powerful energy was so felt as his feet walked closer to a pond.
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to bother you!" exclaimed the red-robed person, while continuing to look for the figure of the person who reprimanded him earlier.
"Hm. I felt a chill of despair from your body. What was your purpose in coming here?"
Apparently the unknown person was in the middle of the pond that was near the red-robed person. He was sitting on the water with his eyes closed. The red-robed person felt surprised given that the person still looked so young.
"I want to seek help because our clan has already been defeated by someone. Only a small part of our clan is still alive. Everything was already slaughtered by that tiger demon when we attacked it."
The stranger immediately stood up when the red-robed person mentioned the name of the tiger demon.
"You came to the right person. I have long been hostile to that tiger demon. It's just that I'm still drawing up the strength to fight him."
"If you may know, what is your name, sir? Sorry if I'm too presumptuous." The red-robed person ventured to ask the stranger's identity.
"Call me the King of Darkness" he said, staring intently at the red-robed man.
"Your Majesty the Dark Lord, your name is already big enough in the world of black flow cultivation. It will not be difficult for you to form alliances and attract as many followers as possible." The red-robed man did not know where the Dark Lord was talking to.
"I can't act alone. I need a lot of hands that help me to attract as much time. I'll help you as long as you want to gather as many troops for the assault that we're going to take revenge on." The Dark Lord opened his hand and closed it like he was squeezing something.
The red-robed man seemed to be thinking about planning the steps he would take.
"Your Majesty, may I use your big name for support?" ask the red-robed man.
The Dark Lord smiled grinning at the red-robed man.
"Can. That's not all. I will also supply you with strength. But on one condition." The Dark King purposely hung his words.
The red-robed man tried to guess the conditions he had to meet. According to the news he had heard, the followers of the Dark Lord would instantly connect with him because their souls had been within his grasp. The red-robed man did not care if he had to lose his soul. For the sake of avenging her, this was a price worth it.
"I'm willing to qualify for that." The red-robed man replied confidently.
The Dark Lord smiled again.
"Be prepared! I want to connect your soul with mine. After this you can only obey my orders and do not think of betraying!" the Dark King.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
The red-robed man looked resigned.
The Dark Lord began to take a position to absorb the soul core of the red-robed person. He came out of the pool with his feet that still did not touch the ground. The body of the Dark King was now facing each other with the body of the red-robed man.
The Dark Lord's hand extended forward and hung over the head of the red-robed man. His palm opened then with his strength, the Dark Lord began to pull out the pure soul core belonging to the red-robed person. Slowly the red-robed person began to lose his consciousness in a standing position.
His pure soul core was successfully taken and absorbed by the Dark Lord. Now his body is just an empty body without a soul. To revive him again, the Dark Lord instilled a new soul that came from the essence of his strength.
The body of the red-robed man came back to life, but he could no longer think and act according to his own desires. From this moment on everything he did was controlled by the Dark Lord. This was a subtle deception that he was doing to multiply his army and strength.
Goa Hill Dragon Fire is a place that provides a lot of natural energy so that the power of the Dark King can increase quickly.
The pool where he meditated is known as the dragon blood pool. Although the water was clear in color yet it was said to be the story that was where a great cultivator managed to kill the legendary fire dragon and use his blood to bathe. Although now inside the pond was clear water, but the power it emitted was still the same as the fire dragon blood energy.
For months, the Dark Lord had been meditating there since his defeat against Wu Jin Ming.
Now that his strength had recovered and was greater than before so he now felt more prepared to face Wu Jin Ming.
Aside from meditating the Dark Lord also gained strength from his followers who had grasped his soul by him.
The Dark Lord asked the red-robed man to go outside from the cave first because he still wanted to finish his cultivation that had been interrupted by him.
