BOOOOM!!!
The air trembled and the temperature rose to tremendous heights the moment Khal activated his Hell Blaze together with his Flame Lotus Martial Technique and the two individuals that wished to kill him had no choice but to retreat!
"Why the hell does he have such a ridiculous amount of flame essence? Wasn’t he just a weak Neophyte Cultivator?" raising his sword before his face to protect himself from the shockwaves, the young man’s eyes widened with disbelief.
As everyone knew, after one successfully mastered a path in the Third Realm and reached the Fourth Realm, that individual will immediately become the weakest once again, a First Stage Cultivator known as a Neophyte.
Above that Stage, there were another four titles such as Master, Warmaster, Lord, and Overlord with obviously the first one being the Second Cultivation Stage and the last one being the Fifth and the same time last Cultivation Stage!
"He must have mastered a difficult path that focused solely on flame-type techniques. With that and a powerful treasure from the Second Realm which boosts his overall attack power, it is not impossible that he can execute such a demolishing attack despite being so weak."
A young woman wearing nothing but a thin green robe that concealed her whole body except for her rather beautiful face appeared beside the young man and held two daggers in a cross before her face.
Just like the young man she too was defending against the attack.
The young man didn’t say anything when he heard the guess of his companion and instead watched with a sharp glare as the flame lotus slowly started to shrink in size before completely dispersing into thin air and revealing Khal’s handsome figure which in the sparks of flame and ash looked even more attractive!
[How interesting. Now that your soul had been purified to the utmost extent, not only did you become even stronger than before but your essence happened to be refined even more!]
One had to note, that the more refined one’s essence was the stronger their attacks upon activation will be.
For instance, if two individuals on the same Cultivation Stage but with different quality of essence used the same technique, the results would become so obviously different that comparing the two would be nothing but a waste of time.
After all, it was pointless to compare a small flame that can burn a single branch to ashes with another small flame that can turn an entire tree into charcoal, right?
Once the flames vanished from around him and he was left alone in a huge pit, Khal finally had the chance to examine his surroundings in greater detail.
Currently, he was in the middle of a vast wasteland where the ground was painted in crimson and where the sky was engulfed in dense dark clouds! The air was filled with the smell of blood, ash, and other foul kinds of scents that only appeared when a wild clash occurred between two sides containing at least a thousand souls!
Yes!
Right at this very moment, Khal was standing nowhere else but in the middle of a battlefield where the sound of explosions, screams of anger, mocking, and grief could be heard from almost every direction!
’No wonder those two tried to kill me. They attempted to take advantage of my lowered guard and claim my life.’ Khal thought calmly in his heart as he slowly directed his indifferent but at the same time sharp gaze at the two young individuals not so far away from him.
"?!"
Upon feeling Khal’s gaze on their skin which for some reason felt akin to getting stripped naked beyond their will, the young man took a step forward and raised his sword in a threatening manner.
"Although I have to admit you have taken us by surprise with that attack of yours, there will be no second chance for you. Your life is ours!"
Khal listened indifferently to the words of the young man without replying. Instead what he did was to activate the power within him that for the first time was not any of his Power Cores nor his original Talents or his past learned techniques but something entirely different, something that in the past until now he believed was forever lost!
[Hidden Talent met requirements to be unlocked!]
[Hidden Talent ’Possessive Soul’ now will merge with the ’Divine Soul Sutra’!]
[Hidden Talent ’Divine Soul Sutra’ activated!]
Whoosh!
The scenery in those emerald green eyes of Khal quickly changed and every color he until now has seen now vanished, replaced by nothing more but black and white!
’So this is one of the powers of the Divine Soul Sutra?’ Khal thought in his heart as he watched how the figures of the young individuals turned half-transparent with a thick black outline while within their bodies white energy akin to flames burned.
"I wonder what will happen if those flames suddenly get... extinguished," Khal mumbled under his breath to which the two young individuals looked at each other in confusion before looking back at Khal with visible killing intent in their eyes.
However, it was not even a second before that intent turned into deep fright and shock while their eyes widened like saucers!
Despite looking away for less than half a second, the moment the two turned their head back they watched with sheer terror how Khal has already crossed the distance between the two of them which was more than two hundred meters, and how he planted his palms on their chests!
"Wha-"
"Ho-"
Both the young man and the young woman were speechless upon seeing how fast and how easily Khal got close to them despite both of them being Second Stage Cultivators, but unfortunately, they got no time to think about the how as in the second their visions turned dark and all of their senses shut down in an instant!
Thud!
Thud!
Watching with an indifferent gaze as the two Master Stage Cultivators fell before his feet lifelessly Khal hummed slightly and shifted his head into the distance where the obvious signs of battles were present almost every five hundred meters!
’Just as the Record of All Realms stated, in order to reach the next Cultivation Stage I not only have to increase my Blessing but also claim the lives of other living beings.’
