Fenrir's Journey : I Shall Devour The Heavens!

This time, instead of having her wait outside the gates, the disciples of the Heavenly Moon Sect escorted Fenrir into the interior. She didn't particularly care about their treatment of her but, as it was much better than having disgusting individuals eye her up, Fenrir preferred this type of behavior. Even in her previous world, it had always been her 'duty' to scare and intimidate people to prevent them from doing foolish things. Now, if it would stop them from acting like fools, Fenrir didn't care if the entire world came to fear her...The interior of the Heavenly Moon Sect was vastly different than the area outside the walls as, instead of an icy mountain, it appeared as if the Sect itself had been built on a verdant and fertile plain. The mountain continued to wind up, snaking a path that was dotted by numerous manors with vast and open courtyards. Though there were only a few thousand people residing here, Fenrir felt like the inside of the walls took up more space than the City below, a place which housed tens of millions of people. Everything was needlessly extravagant, even though things were designed to look simple and aesthetically pleasing to the eye...Long before she reached what should have been the heart of the Heavenly Moon Sect, a massive three-tiered Palace near the peak of the mountain, Wen Xiulan, the Palace Master, had darted forward like an icy bolt of electricity, coming to a stop in front of the group escorting Fenrir inwards. She was slightly pale and it didn't seem like she was too excited for the company as she glared at the disciples before turning to Fenrir and saying, "You must leave this place at once. I understand you are very powerful but the Sect cannot simply remain idle after you killed the previous Sect Master. The Elders will have to fight against you to uphold the honor of the Sect and, if you defeat them, it will expose the Heavenly Moon Sect to other forces on the Continent. Please, though there are some that have strayed from the noble path, many disciples of the Heavenly Moon Sect do not deserve the injustice of being slaughtered because of the actions of a single man...!"Though she was listening to Wen Xiulan, Fenrir had already turned her eyes towards the very peak of the mountain. There was a very old man with white hair, a long white beard, and bushy eyebrows that veiled his eyes. He was far stronger than anyone that she had met in this world thus far and Fenrir was able to sense a powerful energy that had condensed within his body. She had always been sensitive to this energy but, after the evolution of her Soul, Fenrir's perception of all the energy around her had increased greatly. There was even an illusory golden sphere that she could discern within his aura, possessing three strange dragon-like markings coiling around it...Seeing that she was ignored, Wen Xiulan's face furrowed into sadness and conflict since she knew the young girl before her wasn't the one in the wrong. Turning her head, she saw what Fenrir was looking at and felt like the cold energy in her body paled in comparison to the shudder that ran through her body. She was very aware of this elderly man who, from her perspective, had an indiscernible presence while also appearing larger than the mountain he stood upon.When the man stood up, Wen Xiulan didn't even know exactly when he had moved before the elderly man was already standing right next to her, blue eyes blazing as he looked towards Fenrir and said, "I was wondering what calamity that Tian Gengxin brou-" As she was prone to do, Fenrir gave the man a harsh look and said, "I have come here for one reason, and it is to obtain information before I move on. If you intend to impede me, I will tear that core out of your stomach and let you experience your remaining days as the mortals so many of you Cultivators look down on..."(Fenrir's Commentary: 'I do not care for these games, not one bit...')(A/N: I know people have been wanting more FJ, but remember that this is just a side-story that I write when I'm either bored or want to vent after writing something annoying on EPIC. If there is enough interest in the novel, I don't mind doing a daily release but, for the time being, most of the chapters would usually come on the weekend when I have more free time to write. I don't really want to get everyone's hopes up that have been enjoying the novel, so I may remove it if people are bothered by the lack of updates xD...still, if it is just one chapter, that is something I can easily guarantee. Let me know in the comments section what you want~)

Unlike many of the arrogant girly men Fenrir had seen in this world, the old man before her seemed to be very calm, even as his fierce blue eyes locked on her. She could feel a very powerful aura radiating from his body but, even though she had threatened him, the old man didn't appear to be perturbed by her words at all. Instead, after several seconds of silence, he asked, "Where did you come from...? You aren't from around here...how am I unable to sense your Cultivation...?"Hearing his questions, Fenrir's expression turned even icier as she said, "I came here to get information, not give it away. If you want to fight me because of that arrogant and disgusting man, then come at me...!" As she spoke, the thin membrane of devouring energy became more prominent on Fenrir's body, appearing like a midnight blue flame that strangely radiated an eerie white light. Seeing this, the old man's brows furrowed slightly and, without any further discussion, he waved his hand forward.Fenrir's pupils shrunk to the size of pinholes as she saw this movement press forward as if it were in slow motion. Her body tensed up and she was willing herself to move but it almost felt like her nerves simply weren't responding fast enough to her intentions. She could only stare as an illusory blue hand condensed out of thin air, barreling towards her with a pressure that made her instincts scream to evade. Unfortunately, they couldn't will her body to move and she was forced to stand there as the hand formed a palm and crashed powerlessly into the devouring energy around her body.The ground behind Fenrir cracked and remnant dust was kicked up in an area of several kilometers, even though the intended target was completely unscathed. Not only the old man's, Wen Xiulan's, the nearby disciples, and Fenrir's own eyes widened upon witnessing this. She didn't stop to process what happened though and, as he had already attacked, Fenrir bolted forward like a spring that had been pressed down and was finally released. Her severing claws tore towards the man, this time possessing the same devouring energy that coated her body.Unwilling to face the deadly looking claws, the old man moved away so quickly that Fenrir could see more than a dozen afterimages that persisted for a long while after he stopped. Five of them even formed strange hand seals as the man screamed out, "Moon Catching Hands...!" A much larger hand condensed out of the void, this time accompanied by four other hands, each different in color and composition. Fenrir experienced the strange time dilation once again and it caused her eyes to change color until they too matched her devouring energy. The aura shrouding her body exploded, taking on the appearance of a massive wolf head that was 10m in diameter and completely protected her from the five hands, each contacting her energy and immediately being devoured.Seeing this, the old man's eyes opened until they were round as saucers and he shouted, "Devouring Domain!" with a face of abject terror. He then pulled out a strange black object that looked like a tool used to stamp official documents, tossing it towards Fenrir as he brought his index and forefinger in front of his face and shouted, "Heaven Moon Seal...!" This was a very powerful artifact that was used to seal demonic creatures that managed to break into the realms of man. The old man, known as Geng Chao, believed that this 'young woman' before him was either a True Demon, or one of the Cultists that followed them. It was the only thing that would explain her Pure Yin Constitution and how she was able to use terrifying energy like Devouring Laws, even though she 'appeared' to be a mere child...Fenrir was starting to gain more confidence in the energy around her body and, even though she lacked fine control over it, just having it made her feel excited. When she saw the black object fly towards her, once again causing time to slow down, there was absolutely no fear in her eyes, even as it managed to pass through the wolf shroud around her body. Instead, a somewhat crooked smile spread across her face as she very naturally opened her mouth and chomped down on the black seal, crushing it with her teeth and swallowing it like a malt candy...(Fenrir's Commentary: 'Very crunchy, not bad...!')

After leaving the cave she had made for herself, Fenrir quickly cut through the sky without any of the pressure that seemed to be present affecting her. The shroud of devouring energy around her body was consuming everything around her as she passed through it, allowing Fenrir to seemingly have an infinite amount of stamina while also helping to keep her hunger satiated. This was very helpful, as it meant she wouldn't actually have to eat everything with her teeth which might cause people to have suspicions about her identity.Though it wouldn't matter when she reached the peak, Fenrir knew that she was probably far from the top and needed to keep her identity as a Vanargandr a secret. It was fortunate, though she would never thank it, that the strange entity had given her a passive ability to obscure her identity. If any strong individual were able to peek into her body, a thought that made Fenrir feel slightly nauseous, they would be able to discern that she had a 'monster core' near her heart. The moment this was discovered, a powerful Cultivator may end up hunting her down on some bogus pretense of 'righteousness', even though their only reason was to try and steal her core for themselves...While thinking on the hypocrisy and pretentious nature of people in this world, Fenrir came to land at the outside of the Heavenly Moon Sect once again. The moment she touched down, the guards at the gate entered into a panic as some of their members ran into the interior, likely to inform Wen Xiulan that she had arrived. At the same time, a female disciple came forward with a pale expression and bowed subserviently as she said, "Queen Fenrir, w-welcome to the Heavenly Moon Sect. Please, allow this insignificant one to inquire as to the reason behind your visit today."This was another thing that bothered Fenrir, the fact that people were so quick to lower their heads whenever they encountered someone strong. Because of the nature and temperament of those that typically rose to the top, everyone beneath them either lowered their heads or conspired in the darkness to try and backstab them in the future. She could still remember how people would act around her Master, someone who was stronger than almost everyone in the entire world. They would never lower their heads to him but, recognizing the kind and gentle person he was, people would instead smile and greet him happily...a stark contrast to this broken and despotic world...Once she became one of the strongest in the world, Fenrir was determined to change this basic fact of the world. Even if this was a place where the strong ruled over the weak, Fenrir would change it so that the weak revered the strong, not because they were afraid, but because those with power were worthy of their respect. Anyone that wanted to reach the peak of the world would have to do so through honest means or, the moment she learned about their treachery, Fenrir would cripple them herself. Eventually, even if it took many years, people would get the message she was trying to convey...(Fenrir's Commentary: 'Eventually, they will learn...')
