From the memories of the Demon Kings, there were a few groups actively moving in the Lost World beside them. Beings from the World of Cultivation were one of the more powerful ones that matched the forces of demons.
They wouldn’t normally be attacking underwater cities like this as Atlanteans and Merfolk were a power to fear on their own, so the sight playing out in front of me was something interesting to see.
The city under siege should be the underwater City of Aquicadis. At the forefront of their defense, multiple Neon Commanders who signified LEGENDARY rank could be seen, as well as a Gold Commander who was a rank higher.
The fight seemed to be at a standstill as the two MYTHICAL figures of both sides let out wild pressure that clashed against each other, the LEGENDARY figures below being the ones moving actively.
There were three purple robbed cultivators that let out power of LEGENDARY rank, and one of them was actively attacking as his arrogant voice continued to ring out.
“Our request was simple. We just wanted to come and converse with the locals about the history of your world, yet you treat us with such disrespect?”
“Martial Uncle, let’s raze this city to the ground. We can act now and ask questions later. These backward locals don’t deserve being enlightened.”
The purple-robed figure that called himself Disciple Bob actively moving around voiced their words to the leader sitting atop the mystical chair. They waited for a reply with bloodthirst that was ready to explode, just waiting for the word.
The cultivators had their own ranking of power, but the strongest one here letting out the power of MYTHICAL rank looked coldly at the City of Aquicadis. His strong voice thundered out and covered all surroundings.
“Will you take us as guests and share your knowledge of the Trident of Neptune, or will you face destruction?”
The question was aimed at the Merman who was a Golden Commander, the waves of power he let out no less powerful than the white robbed cultivator.
“We do not welcome nor entertain invaders.”
Sparks seemed to fly as the small pause in the battle was about to start again, as the powerful voice of the cultivator gave out the command that would cause mayhem to ensue.
“Very well. Disciples of the Mountain Sea Sect, show these natives what actual power is.”
OOOOH!
—
The command once again began the disastrous battle as all sorts of color began to appear around Aquicadis. Atlanteans and Merfolk decked in armors and hoisting tridents stood at guard, with even more of them carrying blue pulsating [Plasma Guns] that began shooting out lasers once more.
On the side of the cultivators, I began observing new skills and abilities for the first time.
“Buddha’s Golden Palm!”
“Illusory Sword Strike!”
Large golden palms cascading with power rushed down as hazy outlines of dark swords formed and clashed with the attacks from the natives of the Lost World. The battle was continuing and seemed to be in a standstill, unless the two figures letting out MYTHICAL airs of power began moving themselves.
I looked at these new groups of people as I felt my excitement rising. The abilities and skills they were using looked extremely grand and powerful, and I wanted to see just what exactly they would drop if they were to fall in my hands.
My figure that was still hidden covertly moved across the waters as it neared one of the cultivators in the outer fringes. I wanted to see just what types of loot would come out of them before moving in earnest.
The figure I was targeting was a roughly built man wearing blue robes. He had the water around him changing into 2-meter long swords of water that rushed towards the Atlanteans and Merfolk constantly as a derisive smile spread on his face.
I remained hidden without letting out any aura, approaching the figure slowly before a silvery light went to cover his body as the both of us silently disappeared from the battlefield.
We reappeared a few nautical miles away from the City of Aquicadis as the cultivator looked around him in shock, with the only answer he received being a [Storm of Ice and Bones].
The EPIC+ skill quickly shredded into the body of the cultivator, taking his life without so much as a fight as I watched a blue light erupt from his body. This was the first time I took down someone from the origin of a world that had as much influence if not more than the Demon World.
I was expecting something interesting from them as their system of strength differed so much from what I was normally used to.
The blue light that came out from the death of the cultivator changed into one skill book and a small blue gem.

[[email protected]#!#$] :: [email protected]#[email protected]%%@#[email protected]#@#$
My eyes shined at the appearance of new things as I checked out the skill. A few things were unreadable, similar to when I picked up a [Plane Crytal] for the first time. It was something new that I or my homeworld had never come across before
I learned the skill and then observed the blue gem that was still a mess of unreadable words before I closed my eyes and went looking for the solution after also plundering the memories of the dead cultivator. I had to be fast as the battle between the two powers was still ongoing, but I had to find the usage of this new loot before moving forward first.
I disregarded the usage of large amounts of mana as I made up my mind and used {Spatial Travel} just a few days after I arrived in the Lost World, my figure quickly disappearing.
A few seconds passed as I felt blackness, before a light came once again and I found myself on the small mountain that had a hidden village on it. I had done something ridiculous and traveled across worlds yet again, but it would be worth it as anything that was still unreadable in my eyes meant it was something new for the planetary core.
I didn’t even have to initiate as the blank voice of the System I had been used to rang out in my head.
[You’ve come across something interesting]
Essence congregated in the air as Sophia appeared from the bubble that surrounded the hidden village, her eyes a blank white as she spoke while coming towards me. I looked expectantly at her and asked,
“What is it?”
[It is…an acc.u.mulation of something. Give me a few seconds to put in terms that can be easily understood.]
The voice of the System rang out as essence continued to roil around us, before it quickly calmed down and a surprise came out of my mouth as the unreadable portion of the new skill and the blue gem that dropped from the cultivator finally became readable.
[Mountain Sea Sect’s First Style- Water Sword] :: The water around you conforms to your will. The higher your achievements in the Law of Water, the greater its power.
[Low-level Water Crystal] :: A crystal containing the acc.u.mulations of the Law of Water. An insignificant portion is contained.
The voice of the planetary core continued to ring out as I observed the new loot with shining eyes.
[These beings from the World of Cultivation seem to be playing with a higher system of power. It would be a huge boost to your skills and power if you can take down even more of them. There should be an addition to your panel that quantifies your new gains.]
I nodded at these words as I went to check out the new addition while I watched the [Low-level Water Crystal] disappear into my body as particles of blue light.

[Laws :: Law of Water- .1%]
A new section had appeared right below equipment in the stat panel. This time, it was something called [Laws]. I zoomed in on the newly appeared law that had a very low percentage in front of it.
[Law of Water .1%] :: All water-based abilities and skills are boosted by 10%
This was the years of experience and acc.u.mulation that a cultivator at EPIC rank dropped. From the memories I plundered from him, I knew there was a different system of naming that they used for their strength, as well as memories of a brand new world I never even thought about in my wildest dreams.
The memories of the EPIC ranked cultivator who was also called a cultivator at the Nascent Realm from his memories expanded my knowledge even more as I learnt of so many different and fantastic things from the World of Cultivation.
Treasures were abundant, with things like secret realms similar to Spiritual Lands holding their own surprises for cultivators to explore. Things I’ve never even thought to be possible opened themselves in front of my eyes as I looked at what the System quantified as the power of Laws which I could now increase by taking down Cultivators and matched it with the memories of arduous years spent to reach that experience and acc.u.mulation that I just stole as loot.
My eyes shined at the number shown in front of the law that increased the damage of any water element skills. If I could continue to obtain even more loot like this from cultivators, how long would it take before I start seeing huge passive percentages not just for water element skills, but for all the other ones too?
I began feeling the bubbling of excitement again as I wanted to get back to the Lost World even more quickly. There was a powerful enemy that was a rank higher than my current self, but I wasn’t alone, and I still had my ridiculous source of strength that would not lose against the endurance of anyone else. I was curious and expectant after going through the memories of the dead cultivator and wondered just what things the most powerful one there could gift me!
