Chapter 468: Soaring Through Stages!
BOOOM!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
"What is hap-"
"Impossible! There is no way an Overlord could be he-"
"Ho-"
Screams and shouts of despair filled the vast wasteland about a hundred miles away from Crimson Blood City which soon was engulfed with the sound of massive explosions and the wild outbursts of various abilities and powers.
Tens of thousands of wind blades splitting the air, ice mist freezing everything in its path, blazing fireballs turning all obstacles before their way into ashes, and several other attacks claimed the lives of thousands of cultivators in mere moments!
As for their Battle Essence that remained behind once their bodies fell onto the ground lifelessly, each of them flew toward the same direction where the figure of an extremely handsome young man stood calmly with one hand extended forward while his other hand moved from side to side, sending different attacks into the distance one after another!
"T-This guy... Just how many Blessings does he have?" floating in the sky with a face full of disbelief, Sofiel stared with widened eyes at Khal’s figure with a hint of fear within her eyes.
Just a few moments ago she wished to kill Khal because of his arrogant and bold behavior, even considering torturing him to teach him a lesson, but now that thought has completely vanished from her head!
Despite following the handsome figure just a few miles away from her for about a few hours, Sofiel was forced to realize that although she was two whole Cultivation Stages above him, if she would clash with him she would hardly have any chance to emerge out as the victor!
Or at least she was two whole Cultivation Stages above him, until now...
BOOOM!
A sudden burst of powerful presence broke out of Khal’s still motionless figure which sent several waves of ripples in every direction, producing tall and dense dust of clouds as a result around him.
"What the actual fuck?!" for the first time after a very long time, Sofiel cursed out loud with a baffled expression.
[Congratulations! You have consumed enough Battle Essence to become a Warmaster Stage Cultivator!]
[You have ascended to the Third Cultivation Stage!]
[All your Power Cores have improved by one Cultivation Stage!]
Whoosh!
Clenching his extended fingers into a tight fist once the last Battle Essence melted into his body, Khal looked around the now silent battlefield and sighed.
Just under a few hours, he slaughtered everyone within a hundred miles radius without leaving no one alive except Sofiel who was flying above him even at this very moment.
[Why don’t you just kill her? Don’t you fear she will attack you?]
While walking in a specific direction where Khal was able to sense the presence of several powerful beings fighting, Khal used his Heaven’s Eyes to focus on Sofiel’s following figure behind him in the sky.
Of course, the very moment he did this, Sofiel’s body flinched subconsciously and froze for a moment, only following after him again when she realized he directed no killing intent toward her.
’If she decides to attack me despite me giving her an obvious warning, she can only blame herself for being such a fool.’ Khal thought in his heart before deciding not to care about Sofiel and instead ignore her.
As for Nova’s question about why he was not killing her, it was as simple as adding two and two together; he just didn’t feel like doing it.
Although it was true that her Battle Essence would help him reach the next Cultivation Stage faster, after all, she was a Fourth Stage Cultivator, something about her stopped Khal from killing her.
[Could it be that... You have a crush on her?]
’No chance.’ Khal didn’t even hesitate to answer that question and even let out a slight chuckle as if he just heard a good joke.
Ever since he has gained complete mastery over the Divine Soul Sutra, his control over his own emotions and heart became so firm that it was simply impossible for him to fall in love with someone who he just met for the first time.
This was also true for other emotions of his such as joy, grief, thirst for revenge, and many others. Everything within him was simply in perfect harmony and until he wished for it none of his emotions could gain the upper hand over his calm mind much less get out of control!
[But you still find something about her interesting or else you would not even hesitate to send her to the afterlife.]
’As for that, I won’t deny it.’ Khal nodded as it was indeed true that something within him made his curiosity toward the Lightkin grow more than toward others, hence why he didn’t kill her right away.
As for what made Sofiel so interesting in his eyes, Khal had no idea at all nor did he care. Until she doesn’t try to do something foolish, like trying to kill him, he will simply ignore her and mind his own business.
After walking for fifteen minutes straight without using any technique to reach his destination, Khal finally reached the second battlefield where hundreds of cultivators were fighting against each other.
However, different from the other two battlefields where he claimed the lives of thousands of cultivators, this one was filled with considerably fewer cultivators while their Cultivation Bases were on the Third and Fourth Cultivation Stages!
[While you can consume the Battle Essences of cultivators on and below the Third Cultivation Stage, they won’t give you any benefit.]
’So I have to consume the Battle Essences from Lords and Overlords?’ Khal asked despite already knowing the answer.
[Exactly.]
’I see. In that case then...’ Khal extended his hand forward in an instant while a small black orb appeared floating above his palm.
However, if one looked closely at the black orb, one would quickly find out with great shock that the space around it was greatly distorted and the air was forcefully pulled into it almost as if it was a...
[A black hole... Don’t tell me you want to...]
’Yeah, I want and will do exactly that.’ Khal nodded once his Power Core ’Eternal Space’ was fully activated and after appearing several miles above the center of the battlefield he let the miniature black hole in his hand fall toward the ground!
