The Profound Qi exploded from Leylin stretched hands as they congealed and formed a strange spider web, which proceeded towards the two Yin Yang Wonderland Nirvana Realm priests and hit them, the latter were immediately controlled unable to use Profound Qi proficiently to guard against the grinding power of Gravitational Field, they discovered in horror that even their Sea of consciousness and spiritual senses were restrained!
Like a spiral, the light span quickly, getting a little stronger every time it span.
“Shoo shoo shoo!”
From the Gravitational Field formed by combination of four types of energy suddenly exploded on their prone body, along with it, evil energy shot toward them like blades ripping apart their bodies, without the protection of their vigorous Profound Qi, they were both helpless and could only look at Leylin with a pitiful begging expression.
Currently they both had no desire to go against him, they understood that they stood no chance at all and only death awaits them with defiance.
But unfortunately the coldness in Leylin eyes didn’t decrease neither his will to kill, as dense evil energy erupted from him and his body shot like an arrow towards them.
Both Jonathan and Gillan panicked to fight back.
Leylin approaching them while wrecking havoc on his path, smiled coldly.
Endless sharp distorting electric energy shot out from his fist and suddenly bellowed and struck towards them.
Neither of them couldn’t defend against him at all, even if they were fighting without restraints they would be unable to fight back or dodge let alone now, when they were restrained by Spirit Light Net and suppressed by Gravitational Field.
As the caster of Gravitational field, Leylin can move freely inside it’s sphere of influence without any ill effect. His two targets could only gasp in horror as his fist tear apart the air between them and became golden light spots until they disappeared.
“Seal of Death!”
Leylin yelled in his mind, and stretched out his left hand, while seven hand prints exploded towards them with the power of death.
Gillan was frightened being the first target. Though she was at the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm, Leylin’s seal of death was overwhelming to her.
She could smell death and knew that she can hardly defend against normally but now…
Without suspense Leylin fist got close to Gillan, her unable to avoid it.
“Bang bang!”
The Seal of Death struck on the her and her body exploded unable to put up any resistance, without stopping the fist continued its path and connected with Jonathan’s head which tragically exploded like a watermelon.
*Tsh tsh tsh*
The Gravitational Field and Spirit Light Net stopped as the two mangled distorted corpses dropped on the ship floor with a thud.
‘So weak, once I suppressed their ability to dodge and restrained their Profound Qi, killing them is so easy. Most warriors don’t really focus on training their bodies, they only cared about accumulating Profound Qi, learning Martial Skills and training Marital Spirit. Without a firm foundation, the body is just a fragile vessel. With the myriads of skills and martial spirit who knows when you would have to fight in an uncomfortable and unorthodox battle and at that time, the physical restraints could be your downfall.’ Leylin shook his head as he look at the two fallen bodies. Profound Qi gushed from their bodies and into his meridians, while Leylin stand lost in his thoughts.
*Sigh*
According to the different ancient scripture he read, the warriors of past were very accentuated with their body, the training for body was as important as cultivating the profound qi, there body was very tough, and just with their body strength alone without using the profound qi, they can make the earth tremble!
The toughness of their body can bring out their power to the greatest extent, and nowadays, warriors are only focus on soul and profound Qi, and don’t train the body, which is actually a great disadvantage.
This is an aspect where Leylin excels, not only in this life but previously in Magus World too. Leylin also had a ridiculously strong body and he always pushed his body to the extreme limit of it’s growth. Even before when he could have broke through continuously he choose to nurture his body.
The only reason he broke through from Disaster to Earth was because he already reached the peak limits of his physical growth at Disaster realm!
Leylin is very much concerned about the body, profound qi, and soul. He is different from other warriors and currently, his body toughness even surpassed his soul and profound qi cultivation.
Obviously this kind of warrior which trains body will use various methods to hone their body, just with the body strength alone, it’s already really powerful.
They used the method of refining divine weapon to temper their body, so that their body contain a great power, and even have all sorts of oracle.
The warrior with the powerful body has a more powerful spirit power than the same level of warriors, and also their use of profound qi and soul was also more powerful that the same level warriors.
During the battle, the warrior with the powerful body has more advantage and almost always win against the warriors that didn’t focus on refining their body.
‘Currently after my breakthrough into Earth Realm, I am far from reaching the limits of my physical growth. My cultivation is adequate enough and with all my trump cards I can be considered a powerhouse in Endless Sea, I can focus on my physical stats all the while trying to gain insight into the Earth Realm to reach the Third Sky eventually.’ Leylin unlike other warriors who trains the body with various torturing exercise and lucky encounter don’t need to look for these opportunities and go through gruelling physical exertion to improve himself, he doesn’t even need rare materials, lucky encounter and amazing treasures. Everything he needs, he already has!
“Sentient Force, the answer to my quest. It was the same before and it’s the same now! It is the question and it is the answer, it’s the holy and the vile, the darkness that veils the void and the light that illuminates all! Primordial Chaos births from the force that allfather all source of energy!” Leylin smiled as he clenched his fist tightly. His eyes glowed darker than night, two black holes in his otherwise indistinguishable face.
Soon, Ordell arrived at the iron ship and as soon as she climbed up and saw the carnage before her, there was only one thought in her head.
Leylin was too strong!
How much time have passed? A few moments and all she can see are bloodied and broken corpses lying everywhere, like a ferocious beast unleashed upon mere mortals unable to defend, he ravaged them brutally and it seemed Leylin didn’t even break a sweat!
Ordell was astonished. Leylin was like a mysterious, deep pond, full of secrets.
“Come here.” Leylin opened his mouth and, with quiet voice, beckoned her.
“Can you sail a ship?” Leylin suddenly asked, “If you can’t, then it would be quite awkward.”
“Don’t bother. I know how to sail a ship.” Ordell said with confidence, “These ships are controlled through the power of a demon crystal. We don’t need to really sail it, but, instead, give it a direction. It will move automatically, as long as the power of demon crystal doesn’t run up. We, of the Omega Family, have this sort of ships too.”
“I see, that comforting to know.” Leylin replied without any sense of joy neither relief in his voice, as if he doesn’t care either way.
“What would you have done if I didn’t knew though?” Ordell was quite intrigued by his query as well his nonchalant attitude, if he wasn’t sure that she can sail the ship and didn’t knew how to himself, why did he kill everyone mercilessly without making sure. He doesn’t seem like a person who makes random and unthoughtful decision.
“I would have figured it out myself..”
“Oh and what if you couldn’t? You didn’t even spare a single soul.”
“Well then we would be stuck here won’t we, better here than on that damned island right? Anyway we should get going then.”
“Yeah, It’s a long way to home and a dangerous ride too but I guess with your strength it would be safe.”
“Hmm.”
“I am sorry but if you don’t mind, can I ask what exactly is your warrior realm?”
“Hmm.. couldn’t you perceive it before?”
“I could and it was just at the Third Sky of Disaster Realm which I highly doubt to be the case.”
“Yes, that’s my realm. Why ask when you already know, you just lost your power few days ago. Does Miss Ordell think I would have broke through so easily?”
“It can’t be the case, someone at Disaster realm can’t effortlessly just slay so many of disciples of one of the fifteen overloads of Endless sea along with two Nirvana Realm Warriors. Not to mention how effortlessly you did it.”
*Sigh*
“I can understand how you came to that conclusion but you are mistaken about my ability.”
“Can you explain?”
“You really overestimate me miss Ordell. I am obviously at Disaster realm or do you think I would be able to hide it from an expert like uncle Yamaduti?” Leylin said seriously as he lightly scratched his chest feeling the cold Fallen Star Pendant underneath his clothes.
“That’s true, but how can you explain all this? I know I am imposing and everyone has their own secrets, you can feel free to not answer.”
“No, it’s fine. I trust you. If you wanna know, here it is.. it’s actually quite simple. I guess you might have heard I was not actually a warrior all my life, and just awaken at the age of seventeen.”
“Yes, I have heard that and also that you magically become a Human realm warrior.”
“True, and as you can guess it was cause of a fruitful encounter. Obviously!”
“Yeah!”
“But it was not that only thing I got, I also got a great treasure which can be used at time of great need.” Leylin raised his right hand and stared at his Blood Vein Ring stroking it gently, Ordell also gazed at the ring feeling that it had a special ancient aura about it.
“A supreme treasure?”
“Yes.. but in actuality, you can only hope for such a sweet thing to be true. It’s only a limited use item and each time I use it, I must pay a bloody price.”
“What do you mean?”
“Life force, I have to burn my life force to use this treasure and even more now that it’s loosing its power. Soon enough it would be piece of junk, at most I can only use this treasure once or twice and till then, I would assume this personality. As soon as the treasure losses its powers, I will lose this personality along with it.”
“I must request you to not divulge this matter to anyone.”
“You can rest assured Young Master Berkan.”
“You can call me Berkan, I would prefer it.”
“Oh—ok, then I shall also ask you to call me Ordell, Is that okay… Berkan?”
“Yeah, most definitely. Ordell.” Leylin smiled softly as he turned his head to look at Ordell, his eyes kept staring into hers and he mouthed the word, thank you.
Ordell was stunned staring into his eyes, although Leylin has changed his appearance so much so that if she didn’t witness it, she wouldn’t have believed. The handsome blonde man before her appeared like a complete stranger but his eyes were so radiating and soul stirring that she couldn’t mistake it for someone else.
“Ordell!” Leylin called out as Ordell suddenly broke out of her daze and blushed bending her head downwards looking at the floor intently making it seem like there is something interesting on the decks floor.
“Yes?”
“As long as I am in this appearance, please refer to me as Leylin when we are in crowd.”
“Leylin?”
“Yes, it would be better to do so..”
“Okay, I understand!” Ordell nodded.
“Good, anyway where do you think this ship was going?”
“I can’t say for sure, I guess we would know if we check the cargo?”
“I see, I can feel a peculiar negative energy from this ship. My Black Formula can sense some minute amount of Yin energy.”
“Yin? I see, then it must be the corpse slaves from the Corpse Sect!” Ordell’s mouth quivered with disgust.
“Oh?”
“The Corpse Sect and Yin Yang Wonderland are very close, as both the forces hail from the Tuta Sea. In the Corpse Sect, disciples control corpses to fight, and they are also experts in corpse refinement. The martial skills they cultivate are almost entirely related to controlling of corpses.” Ordell frowned, her eyes full of disgust, “The disciples from this sect are able to control more corpses as they advance to higher cultivation levels. A Disaster realm warrior’s corpse, through the refining of the Corpse Sect, could become even more frightening than when they were alive!”
“I see, so these people were transferring corpse slaves to the Corpse Sect but unfortunately became corpses themselves.”
“Yes, but the corpses here have most likely not yet been refined into slaves. These corpses would only been preserved from decaying by using the most simple methods. But once they go through the Corpse Sect’s refining, these corpses will become very frightening. Some corpses, that have gone through thousands of years of refining, have astonishing powers, their bodies are impenetrable, and they can even use the power of the five elements. They are the finest weapons of the Corpse Sect.”
“The Yin Yang Wonderland will collect these corpses along the way, while they collect medicinal ingredients. This time, the Yin Yang Wonderland should be sending these corpses to a burial site of the Corpse Sect.”
A burial site is where the Corpse Sect refine their corpses. In the Endless Sea, the Corpse Sect has hundreds of burial sites. In each burial site, there are many corpse slaves. When the Corpse Sect disciples fight, and their corpses get destroyed, they will come to a burial site to choose a new corpse, in order to regain their combat power. Some core disciples can get very strong corpse slaves. The corpse slaves that have been refined in the burial site for hundreds of years are very powerful and aggressive in combat!
The number of corpse slaves that can be controlled by disciples from the Corpse Sect depends on their cultivation realm, and also on the level of the corpse slaves.
The corpse slaves under a hundred years of refining are called Mortal corpses.
Over a hundred years and they would be called Earth corpses.
Over a thousand years they would be called Sky corpses.
And a ten thousand year-old corpse would be called a corpse King!
Mortal corpses are mediocre, they can only use 30% of the power that the corpse had when it was alive. A hundred year-old Earth corpse can use 100% of its power it had before it died. A thousand year-old Sky corpse can use 120% of its power! And the ten thousand year-old corpse King is the most frightening. They are said to be able to use twice the amount of power they had when they were alive. They also know how to use the power of the five elements! A corpse King that knows how to use the power of the five elements, this is equivalent to having five martial spirits!
These corpse slaves play a huge part in making the Corpse Sect one of the fifteen forces of the Endless Sea. When the followers of the Corpse Sect bring corpse slaves to a fight, it’s like they have a few extra lives. When they fight with others, all they have to do is hide on the side and control the corpse slaves. Just by using their corpse slaves, they can wear down their opponents.
“… Burial site. It’s better if we steer clear of it, we need to take down all the things that denotes this ship allegiance to Yin Yan Wonderland. Sooner or later, the news of it being hijack would surface. It would be detrimental for us, I can’t waste the last ounce of energy of my treasure in a battle that can be otherwise escaped.” Leylin said seriously.
“Yes, I understand. I would take us to a route while although longer but would be without trouble or at least higher chance of escaping it.”
“Then I would need to impose of you, Ordell” Leylin said with a smile, as Ordell nodded. After Leylin shared his secret she can perceive that they have gotten closer and now, he was much more nicer and sweeter to her, this brought a sense of happiness to her from deep inside.
Leylin looked at her retreating back as his expression turned neutral, all of that bullshitting he did about his powers is just to fabricate a sense of logic to his otherwise superbly unorthodox boost of strength. Although such an answer is not flawless but it wasn’t meant to be one in design, all he needed to see if she would be willing to buy it and she did. This reverence as well trust in him means she can be useful to him in the future.
‘Now, it’s time to quietly cultivate for a while. I don’t need people to kill or more battles for now, I have enough Sentient force as it is. It’s time to sink into a period of seclusion and divulge into unraveling the mysteries of Cultivation.’
