The Universe Is Innately Just

The hour pa.s.sed, and he moved through every single one of his techniques. Sadly, he didn"t manage to finish his work, but his efficiency at controlling the lightning based energy that coursed through his meridians rose. The ordinarily aggressive power turned milder under his control, and it was as if each speck of energy had been hidden inside of a scabbard, releasing its explosiveness only in the last moment.

He puffed and huffed as he recovered his breath and looked at the few beasts in front of him. Through his training, he had taken down more than the quarter of the monster in the north wall. A feat that was soon noticed by the soldiers who didn"t take long to push harder.

Sadly, the beasts weren"t the same as they were the last day, and the soldier"s push only ended up with a few death among the MechSuit pilot. The difference in strength had begun augmenting, and now, nearly five MechSuit soldiers were needed to take down one beast.

And the difference continued growing as the hour pa.s.sed, and a few ravenous beasts began taking down each other in a carnivorous rampage. Their strength rose once again as they were scared by the numerous deaths of their kins.

They felt the life of many beasts extinguished in the past hours- and with the heightened intelligence coming from the mutation- they couldn"t help but feel free. The more a creature evolved, the higher sentient state It would become, and with that, it didn"t long for them to begin killing each other in the hope of growing.

"What the h.e.l.l?", he thought as he saw one minute bite half of the chin of another creature. It chewed down twice before swallowing the bloodied mashed meat, and just as they were going to pounce on each other, both beasts froze into statues before their bodies turned into small cubes of flesh and bones. "They are trying to reproduce what had happened last night… But it seems as though their effort is less rewarding without the ambient poisonous killing intent that existed in the mountains."

His voice trembled slightly, and he couldn"t help but send his blood detection outwardly in the surrounding of the ongoing battlefield. There, he sensed the dark and powerful energy that made his face go slightly pale. His leg kicked the ground under him, and he turned into a silent gale of wind that traversed the battlefield.

"Looks like this beast still managed to evolve under those situations…", he thought without any emotion leaving his mind. "If they begin evolving in the battlefield… The city will be done for!", he thought as he accelerated his speed even more.

"Those beasts need to be taken down as quickly as possible.", he thought as part of his mind had attached on the position of the creature that had just mutated. "If I let them to do as they please, they will surely grow like gangrene in a rotten leg!", he mumbled as he entered the hundred meter range of the creature.

The monster in question was an evolved crocodile. The color of his thick skin was grey, and if he didn"t move, his figure would disappear in the desert background. Thankfully, his body was bloodied, and streams of blood spouted out of the many injuries riddling his ma.s.sive frame.

Fell couldn"t but have his senses alert him when gazing at the creature. "It knows that I"m here…", mumbled the youth as he took a glance at the black sword clenched by his right hand. He gripped his hand tighter around his sword, and once again turned into the wind as he broke through high friction.

"Knowing my position won"t change the result. You will still die!", he briskly said as he releases the killing intent he had been building up inside of his sword. A small bomb of pressure was released from the metallic weapon, and the next moment, dozens of creatures were forced to stand still.

They gazed at the elusive figure that had appeared in grand daylight, apparent fear was plastered on their faces, and they felt as though they couldn"t move a single muscle under the ma.s.sive killing intent released from his sword.

"It wants blood!", he thought as his energy coursed through his meridian. With one last heaven breaking steps, he appeared in front of the creature, and managed to saw its physical feature. The crocodile"s body length was more than five meter long, and it"s height rose to a nonnegligible three meter — almost double of Fell"s size.

But the youth wasn"t afraid, and in fact, it was quite the contrary as he took another step in a row toward the ma.s.sive grey crocodile. He noticed the apparent fear in the creature"s eyes, and couldn"t help but recognize that it was regretting its action of mutating in the middle of the battlefield.

Not only didn"t it turn into a torchlight inside of Fell"s blood detection, giving him her exact location. But the rise in strength that came with her evolution was far from posing trouble to the young cultivator. He stepped twice in a single beat and executed "Moon Above" and "Sun Bellow" finisher move in one fell swoop.

His sword turned elusive as he broke through the creature"s defense. The tip of his sword pierced through a ma.s.sive injury that existed near the creature"s flank, he then immediately pirouetted out of the tail attack unleashed by the monster. And in a fluid motion, right as he evaded the creature"s retaliation, Soldier"s Fortune turned into an intense sun as he unleashed a devastating killing blow on the beast.

A groan of pain escaped through the creature"s mouth, quickly turning into a roar, as it exhaled one last silent breath. He gazed at the beast with an emotionless expression, that although had turned slightly paler after the energy expenditure still contained stamina.

"I can sense that a bunch of strong creatures is popping everywhere on the battlefield.", he mumbled as his body began moving toward them. He couldn"t help but take a glance at his arm while feeling his muscles scream from the overexertion.

Fact was that his body"s resource was nearly void of any resource to consume. Any injury could potentially lead to a fatal complication that might disable the young cultivator, or even kill him. His arm lightly trembled, but an uncaring look was placated on his face, and he ignored it.

"There is still some juice left in this body of mine.", he thought as he continued fighting regardless of his exhausted state. "A breakthrough can only be found if I continue down this path. Death is only one of the many futures possible!", he thought as he continued taking one step forward after another.

He began toning down his speed, but his growing proficient at ignoring the restriction of air friction made it that his speed wasn"t reduced by much.

Hours began pa.s.sing. Beast fell one after another, and Fell"s state continued deteriorating as he pushed himself to the limit. The body he had relied on all those years was fatally void of any resource for the first time in his cultivator"s life.

Yet his control of energy had turned fluid, and every wisp of energy he controlled had become silky under his fine soul control.

"Guess there aren"t many that had awakened their ego body in the first realm of the energy path.", he thought while controlling a wisp of lightning attributed heaven and earth energy. The golden colored wisp twirled around his fingers with a soft and laid back manner.

"I can develop into an even stronger state!", he thought as he began feeling results from what he had been training the whole day.

His finger moved, and controlled the golden colored energy that swiftly turned aggressive and darted along his arm toward his other hand that held the sword. He felt the lightning aggressively yet gently brush past his meridian walls, and in the next moment, a golden glow made its way to his sword.

It was similar to "Sun Bellow"s attack when he sends heaven and earth energy in bulk toward his sword, turning it into an incandescent light.

However, now, his sword was akin to a soft candle, lightly trembling with the wind. The golden colored energy shaped itself into tiny saws that seemed to rotate in a reverse clock pattern slowly, but that slowness was only a mirage created by the strange pattern and fast rotation of his lightning based heaven and earth energy.

Its soft movement was executed with Fell"s control over the spatial energy, helping it contain the hard and aggressive attribute of his lightning based energy.

His eyes moved, and once again, he disappeared with the wind. Randomly aiming at the strong beast that popped around the battlefield.
