His eyes didn"t quit the small isle that hung in the middle of his sea of slaughter, and through his Ego Body, he sensed the changes ongoing in his Soul Palace."Perfect balance…", he thought as he began hovering toward the middle of the thick somber pillar that linked the Heaven and Earth of his Soul Palace.
With each second pa.s.sing, he could feel the strengthening of the sea of slaughter and glistening purple expanse. As though an ecosystem had been born in his soul, one where the basis of that equilibrium could be traced back to the small isle.
His memory delved on the past, as he reminisced about the Formation of that isle, one that happened at the same moment his ego body had fused back with his body.
From the abnormal intrinsic slaughter aura that had fused with his soul, arose a ravenous sea of slaughter, one strong to the point where the rest of his energy had to a.s.semble together into a vast glistening purple expanse. In the middle of that sea of slaughter, had rose a small isle, one where the seed of strength he had acquired from the Gigantic Tree, the same one that had saved his soul from completely disappearing in the void.
In his mind, those events were the first specks of memory he had the privilege to remember, as everything prior to that had been wiped clean by the calamity that had taken hold of his soul, one he couldn"t even remember the origin of.
"The seed has grown into a tiny plant…", he exclaimed softly as his senses zoomed on the small isle. His sight broke the realm of logic- as his ego body was the equivalent of a G.o.d inside of his Soul Palace- and the small patch of brown soil that had formed into an isle clearly appeared in his sight.
Each grain of soil could be singularly identified in his sight, and a tiny plant could be seen growing in the middle of the small patch of dirt. The tiny plant could be seen pulsating- absorbing streams upon streams of the ambient slaughter aura that wasn"t part of his sea of slaughter.
Although the plant resulting from the Seed of Strength seem small in contrast to the other ent.i.ties of his Soul Palace, it was, in fact, an exceedingly strong pile of energy that had been compressed inside of that seed. It didn"t immediately make Fell a hegemonic figure, but was nonetheless, a powerful tool with incalculable potential.
Even at this stage of its growth, Fell could already notice the vibrant life force escaping from each grain of soil in the small isle. And one only needed a glance on the tiny leaves of the plant, overflowing with a vivid and vibrant vitality.
"This unknown plant is refining the slaughter aura of the Formation into clean energy that can help my purple expanse grow…", his surprise was reflected in his eyes. As it completely changed his situation in the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation, not only wouldn"t the aura get out of his realm of control, he would also receive a boost in his cultivation as his purple expanse would fully catch up to the strength of his sea of slaughter.
His eyes moved everywhere, as the divine sense he held inside of his Soul Palace spread everywhere around him. The facial expression of his Ego Body softened sightly as his consciousness spread everywhere in the vast s.p.a.ce surrounding him.
Time seemed to accelerate in his senses as he fell in a cultivation state inside of his Soul Palace. Prior to that, he had tried taking control of his physical body, but hadn"t managed to do that, as there seemed to be a hindrance blocking him from doing that. But the strange thing was that the hindrance in question, was in no way coming from the beasts, but was, in fact, coming from his own body.
As though, it was telling the young cultivator that it was time for his soul cultivation to take the final step that would lead him to become a fully fledge second realm cultivator. The breakthrough process- that had begun happening a few days prior to that- had progressed to the point where it could be considered in its very last step.
In some sense, the rebirth of his Ego body had been a major change enough to push him to the Second Realm of Soul Cultivation, but the different energy that had mixed with his soul during the process had made him unbalanced. Thankfully, due to the beasts army"s activity and the deployment of the Formation of blood essence and slaughter aura, the seed of power had sprouted and began repairing the flaws of his Soul Palace.
Under his Divine Sense, he felt the progress of his Soul Palace and Ego Body advance at a fast rate. His translucent soul slowly shifted into a material state due to the pure crystalline energy refined by the Seed of Strength, and his Soul Palace began expanding in the void, growing gradually under the constant absorption of the slaughter aura shared by the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation.
At that point, Fell"s mind fell in a strange abyssal cloud- an abyss where he could feel the constant change happening to him and around him- but nonetheless made him absent minded.
Strange depersonalization symptoms took hold of his psyche, and before long, even his thinking slowed to a crawling pace before coming to a stop.
His Ego Body continued molding into a matter nearly physical, one only needed one look at it to understand that that translucent body was the crystallization of his will. His entire Soul Cultivation Path was developing at a fast rate, as the cultivator"s mind in question felt as though he had fallen in an abyss.
Outside of his body, the red haired Akainmhar continued gazing at the man"s figure in front of him. His instinct told him that something was in the midst of being born, and that it wouldn"t long to reveal itself to the rest of the world. A brewing storm sheltered inside of a water drop that would before long explode, and released a refined tempest.
"The influx of Slaughter Aura is increasing!", he mumbled as he felt the p.r.i.c.kling sensation- akin to thousands of sharp legged ant running on the surface of his skin- accelerate. Steadily augmenting as it the transfer of aura intensified after a few seconds.
The phenomenon had grown to the point where even the atmosphere began screeching and screaming due to the piling ominous aura that was ama.s.sed there. And that still happened even with Fell acting as a magnet to that type of aura.
One could only imagine what would happen if every speck of slaughter aura gathered by the Formation was released in one singular point. An abyssal horror that no mortal would wish to meet might creep out of that Slaughter Aura singularity, and thankfully, that situation wasn"t vowed to happen there as the Seed of Strength wouldn"t leave that aura alone.
"Who the h.e.l.l is this kid?", he exclaimed loudly as he couldn"t help but swear from the scene unfolding in front of his wide eyes. He would never have thought that the intent he had sent in the man"s Soul Palace would provoke such a situation, one where even he wasn"t sure what would unfold.
"Can he control everything?", Akainmhar asked himself quietly as even he couldn"t stay unfazed by the torrent of slaughter aura streaming inside of the cultivator.
Seconds pa.s.sed as billowing dark clouds appeared over the heads of the two cultivators, and quickly grew to the point where it encompa.s.sed the group of towering creatures that were still part of the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation. Red sparkling bolt of lightning didn"t take long to appear under the influence of the slaughter aura.
"A breakthrough to the Second Realm!", Akainmhar"s nose twitched as he sensed the sudden change in atmosphere. He approached the youth with two speedy steps, and approached his hand toward Fell"s body before coming to a stop a few inches before touching his skin.
"Burning hot…", he mumbled as his eyes opened widely. "His Three Paths are breaking through!", he thought as he began slowly distancing himself from the youth. "Is he confident? Or cornered?", he thought in his mind as he hadn"t excepted the chain of events at all.
After the billowing somber clouds filled with red lightning bolt hid the canvas called the sky, a few seconds didn"t even pa.s.s, that other phenomenon began manifesting in the atmosphere surrounding Fell. Only he could have recognized that phenomenon as physical materializations of his cultivation bases, but his mind had turned into a Divine Sense that had completely fused with his Soul Palace.
And as the atmosphere was filled with shocking manifestation, the influx of Slaughter Aura sent to Fell continued rising, and before long hit a ceiling, as a literal beam of Slaughter Aura had surrounded his figure. At that point, Akainmhar was forced to back away, standing ten meters away from the thick pillar of Slaughter Aura.
