The threatening tone in the voice of the third realm cultivator spread everywhere in the beast army. At first, when Akainmhar heard the question, a pensive and puzzled expression flashed on his face of a second.His eyes turned toward the humongous tree standing behind the gigantic Fell standing in the sky. Then, it all clicked in the mind of the red haired man. He could now understand Thol"Yr"s words, and more importantly, understand what has caused the drastic change that happened to Fell.
"He stole it…", Akainmhar mumbled softly before being interrupted by a booming intent that clapped through the air.
A change happened to the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation, as Thol"Yr sent his powerful- all-encompa.s.sing- intent unfurling in a web shaped pattern that encapsulated the entire army of beasts.
Fell opened his eyes, and glanced coldly at the scintillating figure in the distance. The golden giant in the sky began moving, and reproduced his movement as two gigantic flashlights glinted in the air. His senses locked themselves on the powerful signal released by Thol"Yr, and his soul caught on the changes happening to the Formation.
"Puny cultivator of the second realm. I will show you the distance separating our capacities.", the blinding Thol"Yr roared in another language that entered Fell"s ears. Even if the language wasn"t one known by Fell, he could still more or less understand the meaning of his words.
The ma.s.sive flux of blood essence and slaughter aura send to him every second was reduced drastically, as Thol"Yr tried shutting down the free, and large, source of power he was using. But Fell wasn"t the type to abandon control on something he had gained, the Gigantic Tree standing behind glinted as a strong absorption appeared from within it.
"Filthy punk! I will retrieve that Seed from you corpse!?". Thol"Yr howled in a threatening manner, trying to take some advance on the youth psychologically, but the only answer he received was a cold snort that made him ground his teeth even more.
The two cultivators bested each other for the control of the ma.s.sive energy traveling through the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation. Thol"Yr"s face was beyond dark, as his fuming mind caused his face to turn into a devilish shape.
The more Fell gazed at Thol"Yr"s facial feature, the more he found the ent.i.ty annoying. And before long, without even the influence of Fell"s past relentless intent, the scintillating individual turned into something that needed to be killed.
The reason was no longer related to the protection of the city, and was even less related to the past karma"s Fell had threaded before the reconstruction of his soul. But something that his own being judged as a necessity.
The Gigantic Tree had now turned into the balance of every type of energy he cultivator. Not only did the Seed helped him balance his Soul Palace, but was now also turning his three cultivation path into a state of pure equilibrium. Even going as far as to break through to the second realm of cultivation- at the same time- for every path he trod.
Thol"Yr felt the powerful resistance coming from the Illusory Tree behind Fell, and his anger spiked even more as he felt himself go even with someone that stood a whole realm lower than him.
He had a feeling that the Seed could no longer be taken out of his body, and that- unless he wanted to spend his entire life worrying about people hunting him- he needed to take down Thol"Yr at this very moment. The moment his heart was set in stone on killing the scintillating third realm cultivator, every single speck of hesitation disappeared, and his own will was added to the wrestle between the ent.i.ty and the Seed.
Akainmhar watched the scene unfurl without making any sudden movement. He knew that if Thol"Yr managed to secure the Formation back, that would put the pair of cultivator in a dangerous situation that would be hard to control. He had seen the strength of the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation, and had fought Thol"Yr in a fair brawl. But he wasn"t sure about being his equal in the case he controlled the Formation.
"I have to wait for an opportunity to attack him!", thought Akainmhar in his mind as he knew that such opportunity would be difficult to arose in the current situation.
Thol"Yr felt the control he had on the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation lessen. He grounded his teeth, as he swiped his arm on his left side. His movement was directed to a group of towering creatures, that immediately turned into clouds of blood essence and slaughter aura that whiffed in the air in the direction of Thol"Yr.
They circled around his arm, and in the next moment, turned into a strangely shaped sigil that appeared in the back of his hand. The vigil was crimson dark colored, and was infused with ominous aura and blood energy coming from the creatures.
"Having to use the seal of the Formation to control it…", Thol"Yr gritted his teeth. His ego found the events even worst, as he could feel that the cultivator fighting him for the control of the Formation was only a newly ascended Second Realm cultivator.
"How did he even manage to fuse the Seed with his own body!?", he somberly thought as his complexion grimed. Dark intent delved in his mind as he felt that Fell"s body was a treasure trove of information.
That Seed was still a testing subject of their realms. They had used it on several planets, to collect the dense vitality hidden in the soil, but had never gone as far as to fuse the Seed in a body. To his knowledge, such an attempt might have been tested a few time, but the poor result of those experiences ended up with only failures.
The scientist and wise scholar of their Empire never came to found the way to achieve a perfect fusion, as imbalance would always turn the situation into one, where the Seed would completely devour the person it would fuse with.
"I will take my time after I beat you to a pulp!", thought Thol"Yr as he activated the gleaming red sigil in his left hand. His control rose in a split second, nearly cutting the connection Fell had with the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation.
His fluent control of the Formation made him put the connected Fell in a quarantined state, drastically reducing the number of resources available for the Illusory Gigantic Tree to absorb.
"Now I will show you how this is meant to be controlled!", smirked Thol"Yr.
His facial expression didn"t hide the fact he was mocking the young cultivator, as though showing him that he didn"t need the Seed to achieve better results than him.
As soon as Fell was nearly rejected from the Formation, the activity of the beast resumed, and under Thol"Yr"s control, the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation ran even smoother as he turned into a control hub for the entire energy and aura circulating through the Formation.
Having wrestled the youth out of the control of the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Formation with ease, Thol"Yr eyes glinted as they turned into crescent shapes, and a beaming condescending smile appeared on his face.
"Now that I"ve reclaimed order of how things should proceed. I"d have to say that I"m quite surprised by the fusion you"ve managed to produce with the Seed.", none of the past anger he had shown before could be seen in his face. And his voice had turned soft and mellow, as he began conversing with the youth.
Fell gazed at the scintillating ent.i.ty in the sky. He snorted coldly once again, and focused his mind on the Illusory Tree as he tried controlling the energy in the Formation with brute force. But it came to no avail, as he felt that the tremendous absorption of the Seed could only ama.s.s wisps of slaughter aura that only represented a minor amount of what he could achieve before.
"You"re quite something, you know?". Thol"Yr continued without any pause as he began slowly hovering toward Fell. The large amounts of slaughter aura and energy he was refining didn"t come to a stop as they formed a tunnel shaped pa.s.sage he hovered on in his way toward Fell.
He continued advancing toward the towering creature where the pair of cultivator stood on, and before long, Thol"Yr tunnel ended with his appearance, right in front of Fell. His eyes turned toward the red haired man, before swiftly turning toward Fell.
"c.r.a.p… His senses are locked on me…", thought the red haired man as his face turned unsightly. A self deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he couldn"t help but mutter softly as he exhaled.
"This is on you, kid… I can"t help ya on this one…", he thought as his eyes locked on the two opponents.
Fell saw the scintillating figure standing in the empty air in front of the towering creature. A clear annoyance could be seen in his eyes, as the tone Thol"Yr had taken caused to him to feel a crawling sensation on his skin.
"Now now… Why take on such a serious expression. I"m only in need of a few answers, no big deal."
