The Legendary Ruler

Henry could feel that the wolf was much stronger than him, one wrong move could lead to his death. It was going to be a life and death battle.

"Heaven Swallowing Sword"- Henry murmured and extended his right hand as if he was an insane man trying to grab the air.

Suddenly, a primitive and wild aura covered the cliff as a long black sword with the edge painted in red appeared in his hands. The sword seemed to want to exterminate and consume every living being in the universe.

In these eight years, the Heaven Swallowing Sword changed slightly. After it devoured almost half of the dragon's energy, it was slowly approaching the level of a Grade-4 Weapon. 

Henry knew that this weapon was much stronger than that, but it would take too long to repair it to its previous state.

"Although it's not fully repaired, it can still be used"

Henry positioned himself in a fighting stance, like an arrow ready to be loosed. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster, ready to rapidly supply blood to every part of his body.

Henry's eyes were locked on the beast and thanks to his improved eyesight, he could perceive the paws of the beast pressing against the grains of sand as if it was preparing for a fast and powerful attack.

*Sigh*

Henry slowly breathed. It was time. The wolf pounced at him with incredible speed, shortening the distance in a matter of seconds. 

"Genesis Body Augmentation"

The Genesis Body Augmentation was a technique created by Henry himself as he analyzed and tested the usages of Qi. This technique burned his Qi, enabling it to permeate inside every fiber of his body, which in turn gave him endless stamina and strength capable of crushing a whole mountain with his fists.

This type of technique was considered Body Arts, rare techniques that only the most powerful Sects owned.

However, this technique required a powerful body to support the vast amount of energy coursing through it, or the only outcome would be death by imploding. Luckily, Henry's bloodline allowed him to own one of the most overpowering bodies in the whole universe, the Origin Body of Chaos, that could only be practiced by a carrier of the Chaotic Origin Bloodline.

White smoke began to come out of Henry's body and shot upwards, illuminating the whole area, like a lighthouse in the dark sea. Henry could feel the Qi entering in every part of his body and his muscles bulging up.

The wolf neared him at lighting speed. Henry brought his sword up and waited for the right moment.

*Slash*

The sword came down swiftly. The wolf seemed to sense the danger and sidestepped, easily evading the attack. However, Henry rapidly made another move, aiming towards the beast's neck.

The wolf, sensing this, jumped towards Henry as it flashed its paws at his face, trying to force the teen to retreat.

"I can't back down!!"- Henry yelled in his head as he watched the threat getting closer.

Henry only had the time to bring up his left arm in order to defend against the attack. However, the sword was still continuing in its path towards the wolf's neck.

*Drip*

Blood dripped from his forearm as a deep injury appeared. However, Henry had a victoriously smile in his lips. Although he got this small wound, he managed to pierce one of the wolf's legs.

Henry had to thanks his Body Augmentation because it allowed him to have fast reflexes and high speed to block the beast's attack. He knew that this damage would cause the wolf's battle strength to go down by at least fifty percent.

Noticing the lingering smile on that puny human race, the black wolf felt humiliated. It had never felt so infuriated, he wanted to shred this little devil in thousands of pieces 

Sensing the wild killing intent coming from the beast, Henry's smile disappeared. It was time to end this.

He placed the sword beside his waist, concentrating all his burning Qi into it. The wounded beast also got in position, preparing its attack. This fight was coming to an end.

The sword in Henry's hand was suddenly covered in a profound black aura as if the abyss had laid its hands on it.

'it's time'- Henry sighed and locked his eyes on the beast.

It sprinted towards the teen, piercing the air and creating loud sounds, like thunder reverberating through the environment.

'Now'

The sword in Henry's hands seemed to disappear as it slashed towards the beast. A beautiful but deadly purple fire came out, aiming to burn the wolf to ashes. 

The wolf instincts told it that this attack was extremely powerful. It couldn't take it head-on. The beast jumped, evading easily the fire sword, however as it was feeling triumphant, another flame assault came in his direction.

The wolf was in mid-air and couldn't dodge. Its eyes reflected deep unwillingness as the sword of fire hit his body.

Henry watched as the fire engulfed the beast as exhaustion took over its body. He could only hear the painful cries of the wolf.

Henry's legs trembled as the white smoke receded to his body. He was feeling really tired and depleted. He burned almost everything in this fight. Although it seemed easy, just Henry really knew how tough it was.

The wolf was fast and extremely powerful and the minimum mistake could have lead to his death. If not for his amplified strength and instincts, the wolf's speed would have been too much for him to handle.

"Finally it's over"- Henry said as he looked at the Herb in front of him.

It was time to harvest his spoils.
