Noticing that he could support the environment inside of the tree, he focused on the searching for the source of the Gigantic Tree pure power. His ego body hovered inside of the base of the tree, and he began ascending through the tree as he followed the route his soul wisp had found."This sensation is too odd.", he thought as he felt his ego body move from one layer of the tree to another. The change in the structure he was in didn"t bother his ascension as he was moving through the tree itself. Seconds pa.s.sed as he felt the difficulty of maintaining his ego body outside of his body.
As the distance between them was separated, he couldn"t help but feel as though the link between them was stretched further. With each meter, he moved away, that link would be thinned and the danger of its rupture raising once again. This whole act had been done in an instinctive way, and he didn"t know the actual risks of releasing his ego body in the outside world.
Time ticked as he moved higher and higher through the thick branches of the tree, and before long, he felt the source of power he had sensed through his volatile soul wisps.
"I need to go faster!", he thought as he rose his speed the moment he sensed its energy. The further he moved from his body, the higher he was alert as he wasn"t ready to lose his life. If it wasn"t for the fact that he didn"t sense any creature nearby, he wouldn"t have dared to do such a risky maneuver.
He couldn"t feel his heartbeat while in possession of his ego body, but his keen sense and the inexplicable link made it such as he knew the condition of his physical bodies. However, he could hear a specific type of heartbeat coming from the inside of the tree.
The sound was loud and reverberated through every inch of wood that made the tree. Fell couldn"t but feel as though he stood in the middle of a gigantic bell. But the discomfort came with a high price as the sound was coming from the origin of power existing inside of the Gigantic Tree.
What had caused the humongous tree to grow to its size was quietly laying dormant inside of it, unaware that an ego body was making way toward it. Fell couldn"t help but think that the source of power wasn"t sentient as he had already sent a ma.s.sive amount of soul energy inside of the tree.
His intention had been marked explicit, and he was sure that the tree couldn"t cause any damage to him. He continued making his way through the tree with a resolute expression on his ego body"s face. During this time, in an area outside of the city, the red haired man was making his way through a sizeable deserted area.
He moved one step at a time as he absorbed the latent blood essence coming from the many carca.s.ses surrounding him. Every second that pa.s.sed made his strength burst out of his body and his figure turned into an incarnation of a war G.o.d as a flashy red glow escaped from his pore.
Just the light coming from his blood essence was strong and pure to the point where it had a substance, akin to a liquid. The direction of his step was evident as he followed the route that leads to one of the five strongest ent.i.ties that led the beast wave.
Sadly, his mind wasn"t wholly defended from the poisonous atmosphere, and had slowly been corroding his thought. His body moved mechanically as he searched for the strongest beast nearby. An hour pa.s.sed, and he couldn"t help but feel that those puny beast weren"t enough for the advancement he was looking for.
He needed a stronger, more evolved beast to strengthen his body and martial might further. Those puny evolved beasts had barely a strength equal of peak of the first step cultivator and were barely enough to fill the empty s.p.a.ce between his teeth. It was due to this that he began making his way toward the strongest blood essence signal he had picked.
His steps made their way through the barren land existing a few hundred meter nearby a mountain. A few beasts dared to cross his path once again, but a simple move was enough to take down as he left their corpse rotting, void of any blood essence.
Soon, he arrived at the base of the mountain with a blank expression on his face. He hesitated for a second before a vicious expression flashed on his face. His stepped forward, the ground under his leg creaked and splintered as the weight of Akainmhar"s advance contained a full fledge provocation toward the strong ent.i.ty residing in those mountains.
The earth continued splitting in half as Akainmhar"s strength spilled out of his body, forming a web of dense blood essence that invaded the ground under his leg. The vibration released from his step shook the base of the mountain with an unexpected ferocity that made the earth tremble.
But that wasn"t the end, he took another step as his blood essence spiked even more. His skin reddened as his hair rose in the air, the air surrounding him clapped as he took the third step without any pause in his momentum. Torrent of blood essence was released from the red haired man as he unlocked the entirety of his cultivation base.
His height changed as he grew to a towering two meters size, and his shoulders turned wider as his muscles bulged with power. His physical body morphed into a towering figure that oozed of power. He stood in place, waiting for the ent.i.ty"s arrival with the explicit intention of fighting.
He had released everything and showed the full extent of his physical body right at the start. If Fell had been here, he would have noticed the incredible energy released from the red haired man. One that stood nearly on the third step of cultivation, a true hegemonic figure in the small interstellar nations.
Not even ten seconds pa.s.sed, as Akainmhar received the response of the invitation he had sent to the ent.i.ty. A horrifying roar washed through s.p.a.ce, forming a tidal wave that cleared the area surrounding the small mountain. Akainmhar stood tall in front of the shock wave caused by the roar that slapped his towering figure; the red haired man didn"t budge an inch.
He waited a few seconds before stepping ahead before coming to a stop in the middle of his advance. Minute vibration was picked up by his ears as his eyes turned into slits, his fist tightened slightly as he lowered his center of gravity before waiting.
He prepared himself as he could feel that the ent.i.ty was making its way toward him. Its speed fast to the point where he could hardly think of another figure that could keep up with its speed.
Seconds pa.s.sed as he acc.u.mulated strength in his powerful body, his right fist had tightened entirely as he began sending a huge amount of blood essence toward it. He readied himself for the confrontation as his senses could only roughly identify the ent.i.ty"s position.
His ma.s.sive killing intent gathered outside of his body, sharpening his senses as he knew that any mistake could be fatal against an unknown opponent of this caliber.
He heard ruffles in a few trees in the distance, and he even saw a few tree in front of him rumbled before turning to pieces. His knee lowered drastically as he took a low stance. The muscles in the lower half of his body bulged twice in size in a split second, securing him a solid footing.
His waist began moving as his right arm began unfurling a straight punch. A simple movement, backed with his incredible physique, released the tremendous potential of human martial art.
The rotation produced by the movement made by his waist, feet, and back was perfectly linked as a humongous strength was generated by the lightning fast perfect execution of the red haired man. He didn"t only release the full might of his physical power, but had also released his refined martial arts at the beginning of the fight.
Just as the creature appeared, dashing on two legs with well defined strong and explosive leopard like muscles. A head was hidden behind a mechanical mask, but that the red haired man could only gaze at for a second as he release his fist.
Light flashed as his fist flattened the air in front of it, turning it into a compact bullet of pressure that streaked toward the unknown creature.
His movements had flowed with a smoothness akin to water flow. His perfect timing made it such as his. .h.i.t connected the moment the ent.i.ty appeared, sending it straight back from where it had come.
Once again, the first to move was the red haired man who took tree step in one motion. Each step took him more than dozens of meter as he followed the ent.i.ty in a relentless pursuit.
