“Boom, boom!”
The various Sky Realm warriors were attracted towards their target that was Leylin as they clumped together, but unknown to them their combined commotion and intense activity alerted someone even more fierce who was searching for someone in the vicinity himself.
Suddenly waves of a most destructive power suddenly covered the swamp!
Those waves of power had such a frightening penetrative force that it firstly pierced a hundred meters deep into the swamp. It had an indomitable life force. It kept trying to find traces of warriors in the swamp and came straight at Zack Quack.
“What the hell? Who is this powerful?” Zack who was staring intently at Leylin about to make his move suddenly halted as his face suddenly changed, his expression aghast.
He saw that the waves of power came at him like flying dragons, he didn’t bother about anything anymore.
Shrieking, he rushed out of the mud cavity and clashed with the frightening power that carried the scent of blood.
Orell’s eyes brightened as she stared at Leylin with a wondrous expression.
Leylin had a small smile at the corner of his lips as his eyes flashed with an azure light, his hands were behind his back but his fingers were slightly shaking.
‘Really a blood cultivation. it’s One of the three Shura Kings of Alaister family —Yamadūti, at second sky of Sky Realm. What he cultivates is the Evil Blood Path of the Five Shura Paths and with that, he’s almost as powerful as a Third Sky. Comparatively he’s as strong as a Crystal Phase Rank 3 Magus, a powerhouse in its own right.’ Leylin analyzed as he felt the boiling raging aura and smelled the bloody scent, the only reason he could confirm that Yamadūti is here is because of his unique Blood cultivation and his outrageous power undulation.
As someone who was once hailed the Magus World as the Monarch of Blood Leylin is very sensitive to these types of power systems.
A hundred meters deep in the swamp.
The muddy and murky water mixed together, and since there was more mud than water in the swamp, it was very tough to escape.
Once a man or a beast falls into the swamp, they will slowly sink in, and ultimately be engulfed by the swamp, becoming a corpse at the bottom of the swamp, which will eventually rot and never be seen again.
The most frightening part of the Dead Swamp was the sheer size of it. There were hundreds of thousands of swamps, which had swallowed countless warriors and demon beasts, making all of them die within the swamp.
Zack was the only exception.
As a hybrid between a Mud Dragon and a Human, he could naturally move under the swamps, and use the mud in the swamps.
In the Dead Swamp, even if he met a warrior of higher strength, he could still easily dive into the depths of the swamps, and avoid disaster.
All along, Zack fit to the Dead Swamp like a duck to water, and never paid any regard to other people.
But this time, deep below the swamp, he had a terrified expression, and it seemed like he was terrified.
The harsh, pungent odor of blood penetrated through the hundreds of meters of swamp, like the blood of dragons.
This spirit of blood had a strong penetrating power, and a shockingly frightening strength. If it was targeting him, even hundreds of meters under the surface, it could still force him into an awkward position.
Having lived in the Dead Swamp for so many years, he was well aware that the deeper you traveled into the swamp, the more Corpse Qi you would find.
The Dead Swamp had existed for tens of thousands of years, and countless dead souls were buried under these swamps. Those that died in the swamps couldn’t gain redemption, and they always lingered at the bottom of the muddy waters.
Because of that, there were alway strong Corpse Qi lingering in the deepest depths of the swamp. The deeper you went, the stronger the Corpse Qi was. The power of this Corpse Qi could block the scoping powers of someone’s soul consciousness, and it could disrupt all sorts of invading powers.
If he didn’t have the power to control mud, even Zack wouldn’t dare to sink this deep into the swamp.
But now that a harsh bloody Qi had penetrated hundreds of meters into the swamp, and easily traveled through the strong dead spirits, continuing to chase him down. This terrified Zack.
For the first time, he sensed death was coming his way!
Similarly like him, the absurd atrocious power clashed against Lord of the Dark World and Elrod Crystal.
“Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!”
In the distant sky, thundering sounds rang out like earthquakes, and sounded extremely frightening.
Leylin raised his head to look into the sky.
He could see that under the thick clouds, there was a imposing man with a face full of scars who was unyieldingly suspended in mid-air.
By his side, appeared three giant rivers of thick blood. The three blood rivers were each a few thousand meters long, and a few hundred meters wide. They swiftly shifted in the air, showing anyone who saw it a scene they will never forget.
The blood in these rivers was thick, and filled with a wicked blood spirit.
That man with the ferocious expression stood at the meeting point of the three rivers. As if controlling the rivers, his two hands twisted and the blood rivers moved at his will.
From the looks of it, he was battling with three people.
“A rat was hiding.” Leylin muttered expressionless.
“To dare call someone at Sky Realm a rat, I didn’t think Berkan Lenoir would be such an insolent person.” Ordell snickered as she looked at him with disapproval.
Leylin merely smiled and didn’t retaliate or clarify himself, of course Leylin respects strength but to him people like them are not worth respecting. Even if the current him isn’t their match, it won’t stay that way for long quite infact he would soon recover his Earth Realm cultivation even go beyond and acquire the strength to match a Sky Realm Expert because his ticket to power is just above his head.
Those thousand-meter long and hundred-meter wide rivers were like three giant blood chains in his hands, driving the three people in the sky, into difficult positions.
Elrod, Wulfric, and the Mistress of the Dark World who was in the hiding, all threw their Sky realm power at the three blood rivers, continually defending against the intrusive attacks of the blood rivers.
The man controlling the three terrifying blood rivers, still had enough spare power to cast out slashes of blood light. The blood light fell into the swamps below, forcing Zack in the swamp to flee in panic, having no choice but to dive a thousand meters deep into the swamp to hide.
The man with the face full of scars was multitasking in four different ways. He fought with four Sky realm masters, Elrod the Lord of the Dark World, the Mistress of the Dark World, and Zack, at the same time. And he was still able to gain the upper hand, forcing the four masters into awkward positions.
Behind the man, giant bats, which were seven to eight meters in length, stared out with violent bloodthirsty eyes.
On the bats, many cold-faced warriors silently watched the movement above, as if preparing to cut in at anytime.
One of the Shura Guards suddenly whistled towards the ground and shouted: “Master Yamadūti, we have located young master Berkan, he’s fine.”
“You guys go down, and protect young master.” Yamadūti deeply gazed at Leylin from the sky. Then a trace of pleasant surprise flashed across his eyes, and he commanded the Shura Blood Guards behind him.
Even as he met his gaze, Leylin remained expressionless.
Although Yamadūti’s eyes were like a godly weapon, which could pierce directly into people’s souls, giving him a dominating atmosphere, which was a frightening force of deterrence to others, making them feel, deep down, that they could not contend with him but against Leylin such domineering aura isn’t useful unless he actively tries to supress him.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
The Cyan Blood Bats flew down from the sky, and stopped by Leylin’s side. The fifty Shura Blood Guards rode on the Cyan Blood Bats, and surrounded him. They already knew how to identify Leylin from his father and immediately recognized him, and also along the way they have met with Ben Parks and group who told them that, Leylin’s the target of many Sky Realm Warriors for he came out of Gate of Heaven acquiring whatever was inside.
“Young master Berkan!”
Fifty ferocious roars simultaneously came from the warriors on top of the Cyan Blood Bats. Fifty Earth or Nirvana realm warriors all looked at him with serious expressions.
Leylin looked at them with a dignified expression, but his eyes showed a trace of confusion.
“Miss Ordell, what is going on?” Leylin feigned ignorance as he spoke in confusion.
“I..?” Ordell was even more confused with the recent development but her confusion intensified as Leylin showed he had no idea either. If he had no connection to this current state of affairs and sudden development so, why was he looking so confident? His expression was like, everything was in his hand but now it seemed he had no idea. Likes he’s some clueless innocent bystander or something!
And more importantly, what was that ‘ Don’t be so shocked, there is still someone left to come’ all about, when they were surrounded by everyone!?
Ordell mind was muddled with confusion as she looked at the Shura Blood Guards and tried to connect the dots from the information she had, especially the knowledge about the reason why they came here, Shura King especially.
Suddenly something started to makes sense as gears turned and something clicked as she somewhat figured out everything but….
Ordell again looked at Leylin and was momentarily stunned as she saw him…..winking at her!?
“Later the Shura King will explain it to you. I’ll say no more.” Ordell’s pretty brows furrowed, and she spoke indifferently: “Berkan, what I said to you before, will be cast aside now. I’m sure the Alaister family will lay out your future well, I’ll stop meddling with it.”
She meant the thing about, making Leylin enter the Omega family and employing him into the Three Gods Sect as a spy.
Leylin almost said that he never even considered joining her family but he kept quiet as he instinctively looked up at the scar-faced man in the sky.
Up in the sky, Elrod became an ice statue, his body wreathed with cold energy, and he quickly flew towards the south.
— He is actually running away!
Once he left, there was an even greater pressure on the Lord and Mistress of the Dark World. The two didn’t stayed either, and also quickly flew to the south, afraid to keep fighting with that man.
The Lord and Mistress of the Dark World felt a huge pressure, and they didn’t dare to separate from Elrod when running, scared that if they were to fall behind, they would be killed by that man.
“Hehe! Don’t try to run!” Yamadūti’s expression was as ferocious as a demon. He controlled the three terrifying blood rivers, and immediately chased towards the three.
…
“Hey!” Ben Parks exclaimed, he raised his head towards the sky, and shouted: “Elrod Crystal”
You could only see that the head of the Crystal family was now bleeding through his mouth, and fleeted across the sky in panic. There was even a sign of fluster in his eyes.
Behind him, the Lord and Mistress of the Dark World were also full of panic. They fled along, as if being chased by some horrifying monster.
Everyone gazed at the sky in astonishment, they were stunned inside.
“Bang, Bang, Bang!”
Blasts came from the sky, looking as if they were trying to crack the world into pieces.
In front of them, the Shura King stood in the sky like a devil, controlling the three broad Blood Rivers, and brutally assaulting Elrod, Lord of the Dark World and the Mistress of the Dark World, causing them to flee.
Inside the three Blood Rivers, overwhelming blood gas was flowing like three blood dragons.
Elrod was frozen and his body was surrounded by Ice Fire, moving in and out of one of the Blood Rivers, as he defended against the Blood River with a rigid face.
Blood light shot into the sky as thousands of magic snakes formed from the Blood River, and tried to entangle him.
The Blood Snakes looked incredibly vivid as they waved their sharp immortal claws.
Once the Blood Snakes were frozen, due to his Ice Fire, they fell into the Blood River, and then quickly revived and jumped towards Elrod, again, this time with even more ferocity.
The Lord of the Dark World, Wulfric, generated Dark World Thorns around his body and looked like a huge hedgehog.
In the Blood River, he kept producing Dark World Thorns to prevent the blood gas from the Blood River from reaching him, and tried to escape towards the south.
The Mistress of the Dark World stayed in darkness, as she too was devoured by Blood River. She struggled but couldn’t get rid of it.
Yamadūti was like a devil from hell, and he got a pleasurable feeling from fighting with the three.
He even scorned lightly, “Not working! Still not working! The warriors here are too weak! You could only be servants in the Endless Sea, and even there, you would not stand out.”
Everyone went into a rage, but couldn’t do anything.
Only at that moment, did they realized just how frightening the warriors from the Endless Sea were.
They didn’t know that, while fighting with them, This monster before them already pressured Zack to flee thousands meters into the swamp!
“Go!”
Suddenly, the voice of the Mistress of the Dark World came from the darkness.
The next moment, from the darkness, a blast of strange power came. After a boom, that darkness broke down and a black shadow escaped toward the south.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Dark World, Wulfric also began to trigger his skills, and disappeared like a wisp of wind.
‘Such a pity’ Leylin who appeared around the corner of the battlefield riding a Cyan Blood Bat couldn’t help but shake his head in regret that two Sky Realm Warriors were about to escape but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Even if he were to concoct a fabricated exaggerated story to trigger Yamadūti who already posses a volatile personality to kill them, despite incurring whatever damage he might receive. Leylin would still not achieve much because the magnitude of this battle is too high and Yamadūti attacks are of extremely wide range even if he were to kill them, by the time Leylin reaches their carcass to absorb their remnant Profound Qi, a huge portion would have been dissipated.
‘Well, getting a soul of a Sky Realm Warrior is also good enough. I already have more than enough target to fulfill my desire for Profound Qi for now and the later stages of cultivation aren’t as easy to advance which would be completed with just accumulation of Profound Qi.’ Leylin thought as he kept watching the ongoing fight while interacting with the Shura Guards.
The Disaster realm and above is different than the realms that go before it. When cultivating, you need to gain experience. Only if you experience different dangers and live through all kinds of different challenges, gaining insight from them, can you breakthrough to the next stage. After that only Profound Qi isn’t enough but one needs to conjure an insight over their realm and break through the bottleneck of their understanding.
In the realms above, just having the most vigorous Profound Qi itself is no use. Even if Leylin kills unrestrained or go to the Alaister family and take some elixirs, without the support of a strong mind, and understanding of realm it would be hard for you to breakthrough quickly.
Leylin in this regards has a huge advantage because although he’s walking this path for the first time and without much help or guidance but, one shouldn’t forgot he’s a magus! It’s his primal instinct to research, study, understand and contemplate. This is the reason why his advancement all through the Disaster Realm and even Earth Realm was so unceasingly smooth, Leylin has performed various experiment and studies but sadly, his grasp on the topic ends at Earth Realm itself because of lack of specimen and experiments at Nirvana Realm. Although he did acquire blood from Paul who’s a Nirvana Realm warrior but it wasn’t enough.
There is also the sea of consciousness, or soul will that needs to be extensively observed but Leylin had full confidence that he would definitely be able to rip apart the misty clouds of confusion once he reaches that stage.
…
Elrod’s expression suddenly shifted, as he saw the two disappear, and he quickly tried to escape too.
“You have to stay!” Shura King showed a frightening expression on his scarred face.
The other two Blood Rivers suddenly moved crazily, and merged into the first river.
The three Blood Rivers joined into an endless sea.
In the blood sea, Elrod’s body was drowning, and he couldn’t make a move. He bellowed desperately.
“Humph!” Yamadūti looked down on him coldly, and then laughed cunningly, “You want to kill the descendent of the Alaister Family? I will kill you first!”
Yamadūti turned into a bloody light, and then flew out of the blood sea, disappearing into blood gas.
From the blood sea came Elrod’s miserable cries, as he couldn’t fight back anymore.
Leylin smiled, “Its the end for him.”
“That guy is merely at the First Sky of the Sky Realm, so he can’t fight against master Yamadūti. Once the three Blood Rivers combined, even a Sky warrior at the second sky could be killed.” The warrior behind Leylin confirmed in despise, “He is dead meat.”
“Can you send some people to look for the Lenoir Family members, and Let’s go down.” Leylin asked as he moved his head to look down, and spoke to that warrior.
“Sure.” That guy nodded happily, and patted the Cyan Blood Bat’s head back.
The Cyan Blood Bat cried and dashed down quickly to land beside the group including Ben Parks and Neelam.
Having the mission to protect Leylin, those Shura Blood Guards also flew down and encircled him.
