Dual Meridians

"You devil! Come here and face us!" "We will kill you!" "Bastard! Just die..." Late at night, the winds were blowing like a raging storm. One could see a person wearing a tattered black cloak with a completely exhausted body standing at the end of an unending cliff. He is surrounded by several people who are cursing him and looking at him with hostile expressions. One could only see the darkness underneath the cliff where he was standing. This was the famous 'Cliff of Darkness' as many tried to discover what was inside but never returned. Since that day, no one has dared to roam there out of curiosity. The talk of 'Cliff of Darkness' became the tale of fear that parents used to tell their children when they were naughty. While standing on the cliff now, there is this man, covered in cuts and wounds all over his body. His black cloak is soaked with blood that is dripping off constantly from those wounds. His tattered clothes still had the symbol of a coiled white dragon printed on the back, marking the symbol of royalty. Looking at this pathetic man could make anyone sad. But even in such a terrible condition, he has a determined and unbending clear will on his face. This young man is Yu Di, the unthroned king of the Profound Heaven kingdom. To be correct, he will be the last one as the people in front of him were all emitting powerful auras from their bodies wanting to kill him and destroy his kingdom. He couldn't move any further, with the constant fights with those powerful individuals, he was almost out of his breadth. Is this the end of his life? Will all the efforts he made for the kingdom be a waste? Yu Di has felt many near-death situations before, yet this is the first time he felt that he was going to die. He sacrificed his entire life of a hundred years for the revenge of his kingdom, but now it is coming to an end. He killed millions of people, regardless of good or bad, made a bloodbath of people, killed everyone who came in front of him, destroyed everything, and made the lives of people a living hell. He portrayed the picture of the devil by himself. All of it was just because of the promise made to his father during his dying moments. Many told him that the heavens would punish him for his actions. He will receive the cruelest punishment in hell. But he didn't listen to any of their advice and continued what he was doing. So now the heavens are punishing him. The people surrounding him might be the friends, family, or relatives of the people whom he had killed before. Now they all crowded him, wanting him to pay for the crimes he had done. But he had no regrets. What he had done was correct. All might think that he was an evil person because he killed both the good and the bad people. But it wasn't true at all. Yu Di has been peaceful since he was young. Even if he was the son of the king, he used to play with the village lads and every citizen loved him as their child. Sometimes he took feasts at their homes and used to sleep with them. Yu Di's father didn't stop him from doing so to keep him distracted from the fact that he wasn't able to cultivate as his meridians had been broken since he was young. His father was very tense about this matter, yet because of the constant consolation of his wife, he let go of this matter. Moreover, even when he was young, he used to do the same thing. They both had no arrogance in their childhood and loved to stay with their citizens and understand their conditions and needs. It made the citizens feel that they were near the king and their families. While Yu Di's father had a soft heart for his people, he was also a very strong man and reached the Profound realm before the age of forty, which was considered the strongest realm in this world. He remained a protector for his people and defended them from any attacks from the outside kingdoms. In general, the Profound Heaven Kingdom became the real heaven where both the king and his citizens lived peacefully. The people of other kingdoms started moving to the Profound Heaven Kingdom because of the peace and prosperity. But peaceful days don't remain for long. Such a thing happened with the fate of the Profound Heaven Kingdom. The king of the Profound Heaven Kingdom wanted to create peace within his state and didn't allow anyone to create trouble in it. So the other kingdoms couldn't tolerate such progress and joined together to make a devilish plan to poison them to death and exterminate their whole kingdom. According to that plan, they breached their peaceful territory during Yu Di's thirteenth birthday and mixed those poisons in the rivers, foods, and among the citizens without their knowledge. The common people of those states played a major role in completing this mission. When Yu Di was thirteen, people started getting infected by a sudden disease in their kingdom. His father, mother, and relatives were also affected. Everyone started dying like they never existed. The disease was so cruel that it made the skin of the infected peel off until they died out of pain. But even though everyone died, Yu Di miraculously stayed alive as his father took him and escaped. While escaping, Lucas saw the terrible fate of the people and the crying face of his mother. His father was also in a state of dying but took Yu Di as far as possible to keep him safe. The scene of such a disaster made a great impact on that child's heart. It was from that day on, he forgot to smile. A few moments before his father's death, he gave him a small white box telling him to keep it safe even for his life and also told him the reason for such a disaster. Yu Di could see burning flames in his father's eyes at that time, telling him to take revenge on them. What he couldn't do, he had to do it. After that incident, Yu Di, for several years, ran through the mountains and started training vigorously on his body cultivation as his meridians were broken. He made tremendous progress with the fire of revenge in his heart and almost reached the Profound realm at the age of thirty. He was even faster than his father in the field of body cultivation and could be considered a fallen genius. He took advice from many wandering cultivators but, at last, fell into the path of demons. He raised his demon army and plunged his gazes onto the vast world. Since then, he started massacring the kingdoms who were responsible for the disaster. Many came to stop him. He killed them. Many came to ask him, he also killed them. He didn't leave anyone present on that day. The people were killed cruelly and instigated horror in their minds. When the Profound Realm cultivators heard such a piece of terrible news, they all joined in the action and deployed all of their troops to kill him in a battle. Both sides suffered huge losses. While Yu Di himself destroyed most of their troops. This made them angry, and they attacked Yu Di, which brought him into such a condition. Even if Yu Di was strong but not at that level, he could handle everyone at once. Yu Di recalled all his experiences and smiled sadly looking at them. "You devil! Hand us over the treasury of the Profound Heaven Kingdom" "You don't have anywhere to run! Obediently come with us" They continued with their shouting and curses but feared to come near the 'Cliff of Darkness'. "Sigh... You people are so foolish" His sudden statement made the chaos silent. All of them looked toward him. "Have I ever told you that I would run?" "Brat, don't waste our time and come with us and face your punishment" "HAHAHA... Punishment? You all want to give me punishment?" Lucas laughed out loud and questioned them. "WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?" "I gave you people the fruit of your seeds. The way you killed my people, I killed your people" "I am free!!!" "MY REVENGE IS COMPLETE!!!" Shouting towards the sky, Yu Di threw the small ball in his right hand towards them and jumped from the cliff holding the small white box in his left hand. Seeing that small ball coming towards them, the profound realm cultivators shuddered with fear and started running for their lives. BOOM! While Yu Di was smiling, falling towards the depths of the cliff, he only heard a loud explosion. The small box glowed with a white light and Yu Di's vision faded. Before falling, Yu Di murmured something that his father told him to do in the face of death. "I accept the dual meridians!!!"
