Chapter 463: Death Emperor of the Battlefield Despite Being the Weakest!
According to the Record of All Realms, once one reached the Fourth Realm, the Realm of Ascension, they have to fight thousands if not tens of thousands of battles to ascend from one Cultivation Stage to another!
In the Fourth Realm, except increasing one’s own Blessing, the other objective was to claim hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives as that was the only way one could ascend to the Fifth Realm.
For instance, a Neophyte Stage Cultivator had to kill exactly a thousand enemies and consume their so-called Battle Essence which while can be acquired with the use of some forbidden techniques in other Realms, here in the Fourth Realm was a common occurrence whenever one died.
Akin to an absolute law like gravity or pressure, in the Fourth Realm when one was killed or simply died because of old age their bodies would leave behind their Battle Essence which not only could increase one’s essence reserves and refine that to a limited degree, but it could also improve one’s physical strength!
"So this is what Battle Essence looks like? It is no different from Beast Essence." looking at the floating mass of crimson liquid above the now lifeless bodies of the two young individuals, Khal exclaimed out quietly while extending his right hand toward them.
Whoosh!
Akin to obeying his wish to be held and consumed, the two floating masses flew into his hands of Khal and quickly melted into his body!
Khal closed his eyes for a second to enjoy the warm sensation that swept through his whole body, but when he felt how several gazes seemed to target him he opened them once again and summoned both his Moonshadow and Devil Fangs into his hands.
[Will you really fight?]
’It had been close to seven years since I have last fought with someone. My skills and fighting techniques definitely got rusty over such a long amount of time so there is no question that I should push my limits once again. ’ Khal thought before adding, ’Also, I am curious just how strong I have become now that the Divine Soul Sutra now became my Hidden Talent.’
[If you say so... But as I can feel it all the cultivators here are either in the Second or Third Cultivation Stage. I can barely sense a few First Stage Cultivators!]
"That is better that way." Khal however just showed a calm smile and watched how four cultivators hailing from the same race but wearing various styled steel armors dashed toward him, each wielding four different weapons such as spears, long swords, greatswords, and gauntlets!
"I wonder how strong my Power Cores have become." Khal showed a calm smile and as he slowly pointed his dagger at the four individuals a deep brown armor materialized on his body.
"Crush them."
The air, time, and space stagnated for a second when Khal’s calm and rather soul-soothing voice appeared in the surroundings, and immediately after a massive explosion shook the whole battlefield.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Upon the activation of his Gravity Armament, everything around Khal in a ten miles radius was crushed almost as if a great mountain fell on the land from above!
The ground cracked and split, and the cultivators with a weaker physical resistance instantly got turned into meat paste while the stronger ones were forced to sink into the soil with either blood gushing uncontrollably out of their orifices or their limbs slowly getting crushed!
Just under a single second, more than a hundred cultivators were killed and a few hundred were injured!
As for the four individuals that tried to kill Khal, it was useless to say the only thing that was left from their bodies were nothing but smashed organs, shattered bones, and squashed flesh!
Just like that, the four of them, each of them being a Master Stage Cultivator, died without any chance to resist much less put up a fight!
"As I have thought. I can control my techniques and abilities with greater proficiency. Now I can even determine the radius of my area-type skills." Khal talked to himself as he looked at his Moonshadow and sighed.
"I am sorry, but it seems your help will be unnecessary here." after saying that Khal put his golden sickle back into his spatial ring and only decided to hold his Devil Fangs.
He also removed the Gravity Armament from his body as he instead wished to try out his newer Power Cores which he acquire before ascending to the Third Realm.
[Power Core ’Mirror Clone’ activated!]
A moment later another Khal appeared beside the real one with the sole exception his body was not made out of flesh and skin but a pure crystal-like mirror!
"Go." Khal handed his Devil Fangs to the clone and an instant later watched as it vanished from its spot and started to kill numerous cultivators.
"As for me..." taking a deep breath Khal spread his arms and activated numerous skills at the same time.
[Power Core ’Heaven’s Eyes’ activated!]
[Power Core ’Echo Sense’ activated!]
[Power Core ’’Emperor Sense’ activated!]
[Power Core...]
Just in less than 10 seconds, Khal activated 6 Power Cores, immediately boosting all his senses to such heights where nothing could escape from his notice in at least a hundred miles!
[What are you trying to do?]
’Just watch and see.’ Khal said with an almost invisible smile at the corner of his mouth and extended both hands toward the sky.
[Power Core ’Presence Tracking’ activated!]
[Power Core ’Blade Domain’ activated!]
Whoosh!
With the activation of his last Power Core, Blade Domain, a great change took place on the battlefield in a single flash. In the sky where dense black clouds drifted, one by one different shaped and sized blades started to materialize and remained there floating as if they were hanging on strings!
1...5...79...189... 1,043... 10,321... 623,578... 1,000,000!!!
[You... Just how much essence did you use up?]
"About a million," Khal replied nonchalantly to Nova’s question as if the amount he just mentiond was trivial.
Then, with a casual gesture ghe swung his arm toward the ground to which all the swords in the sky moved and began to fall!
