Chapter 464: Death Emperor of the Battlefield Despite Being the Weakest! (Last)
The way Khal lowered his hand toward the ground was slow, however, the swords falling from the sky were not.
As if raindrops during a wild storm, every single one of the swords dropped toward the ground with lightning speed, their momentum only growing faster with each passing fraction of a second.
However, different from raindrops that only flew in a straight line, as if they had their own will the swords strangely moved toward a specific direction, each targeting different locations!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!....
The sound of air getting split became louder the closer the swords arrived on the earth, slowly but surely attracting the attention of every living being on the battlefield.
"What the hell is this whistling? It’s annoying!"
"This makes no sense... Why do I all of a sudden feel dread?"
"Someone definitely is targeting me, but from where?"
As every cultivator tried to figure out the reason they felt unease and why they all of a sudden sensed death lingering above them, suddenly a being who had the look of a humanoid hybrid between a snake and horse raised its head before its complexion turned ugly.
"A-Above us!"
Everyone raised their heads upon hearing the loud voice of the cultivator, but the moment they saw the descending hell their faces changed abruptly too.
"Fuck!"
Those with a faster reaction speed quickly activated their strongest defensive techniques while the slower ones could only watch as the swords fell from the sky reached them and pierced their bodies from all angles!
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!....
Everywhere a sword fell loud chains of explosions broke onto the surface, raising a thick cloud of dust into the sky while the ground below split and craters of various sizes one after another appeared!
"Argh! Help m-"
"Impossible! Such a large-scale attack... When did an Overlord descend onto this land?"
"I... Can’t resist any long-"
Uncountable amount of cultivators from the First Cultivation Stage to the peak Second Cultivation Stage succumbed to their death one by one while those on the Third Cultivation Stage clenched their teeth to resist the descending chaos from above as much as they could!
Swish! Swish! Swish!...
With each kill, the Battle Essences that the corpses left behind all began to soar through the air and fly in the same direction!
Naturally, their destination was no one but Khal, who upon seeing the hundreds of crimson masses of liquid just extended his hand forward and allowed them to melt into his hand.
[You have consumed 1 Battle Essence!]
[You have consumed 1 Battle Essence!]
[You have consumed 1 Battle Essence!]
[You have consumed...]
In a flash, Khal’s consumed Battle Essence count skyrocketed from 6 to above 500 and the numbers still kept increasing without any sign of slowing down!
[And to think you have only used just a portion of your power... You really are on a whole another level.]
Khal watched with a nonchalant expression as the hundreds of thousands of swords descended from the sky below, almost each one of them claiming the life of a Cultivator hence increasing his strength by a bit!
’When I have first read about the Fourth Realm I thought it will be a total pain in the ass to kill thousands and even tens of thousands of beings to ascend from one level to another.’
Then, as if spotting something Khal shifted his serene gaze to the side where he saw how an individual with a powerful aura was approaching him with great speed and an obvious hint of killing intent.
Of course, his speed was occasionally slowed down by the descending swords falling from the sky, but except for being minor obstacles they inflicted no damage on his body much less wound him severely.
’However, now that I have mastered the Divine Soul Sutra and increased my Body Essence, I believe it won’t take me even a month to ascend once again.’
[...]
Nova was silent and didn’t comment on that statement.
In the past, she would have definitely said Khal was arrogant, but after seeing how his behavior became serene and restrained thanks to the Divine Soul Sutra he knew the words he spoke were filled with nothing but honestly without any hint of arrogance.
Furthermore, after witnessing what he has done in the past few minutes, she had to accept his words were indeed the truth.
"So it is you." arriving less than fifty meters before Khal, the individual that approached him planted his feet on the ground, halting his momentum in an instant with a small boom.
"Do I know you?" Khal asked with a slightly raised brow while his hand was still extended forward as the Battle Essence flew and melted into it.
The cultivator who only wore loose pants that looked more like baggy pants with his muscular upper body naked narrowed his eyes at Khal while he rested his massive hammer on his broad shoulder.
"This is strange... Your cultivation base is awfully weak yet it is obvious as day that you are the one who caused this falling chaos."
The muscular cultivator who had a lion tail behind his back pondered for a second before he sneered coldly and grabbed the handle of his hammer with both hands.
"Whatever... At least I can gain all those Battle Essences without much effort. Now die!"
"You ignored my question..." Khal sighed helplessly as he watched how the being swung his weapon at him in the hope to smash him into a meat paste.
Then, with another helpless sigh, he raised his other hand with his index finger extended, seemingly wishing to stop the attack with just one finger!
"Fool!" the cultivator became angered upon seeing his "arrogant" act of Khal, and the muscles within his body bulged and put greater strength behind his attack.
However, to his utter disbelief, the moment his hammer came into contact with the young man’s finger frost began to cover the weapon before it quickly spread and engulfed his body too!
"Impos-" the pupils of the being shrunk to the size of a needle and even before he had the chance to mutter a single word his whole being turned into an ice sculpture which son cracked and turned into ice powder!
