Space tore apart beside Kayden with the same intensity. His attack carried all the strength he was capable of utilizing, even his domain and defensive spells were consumed along the way and used in the attack. Kayden didn’t want to do this, but the aura of that figure made it clear that this was his only option. It didn’t even take a second for the two attacks to meet. The remnants of the attacks were opening huge cracks on all sides.
Scary eyes passed between the slits, beings that the universe should have forgotten about their existence peered into the void, but that didn’t matter, only the two rays confronting each other were important. The seconds began to pass without a clear winner among them. Only the remnants of strength were spreading everywhere. The environment did not have any mana or air, which meant that the sound did not propagate normally, only mana was capable of propagating these sounds.
"What are those eyes?" Hanna asked and got no response from anyone. Everyone was focused on watching the battle, and the only one who knew the answer was Julian, but he would never reveal this secret. The seconds continued to pass and the space became increasingly fragile around the attacks. Even so, only cracks opened. They were strong attacks, but not enough to open a complete passage into the void.
This was a degree of strength that only those at the peak of the sixth realm and with spatial knowledge could achieve. Few had this ability and even fewer could enter the void. At least get in without dying. The eyes and the type of mana that escaped from this place made something obvious to everyone: it was dangerous. Seconds became minutes, and the two attacks remained a confusion of lights in the skies.
The golden lightning against Kayden’s black lightning looked like two dragons fighting for survival. It was a fierce fight that caused the surrounding environment to shake slightly even from dozens of kilometers away.
"So that’s it," Kayden muttered as he saw his attack destroyed. He accumulated enough mana in that time to erect a weak barrier around himself, but the golden beam immediately consumed it. Kayden’s sadness opened into a huge, crazy smile dripping with blood as his entire body was charred, leaving only part of his shoulder and his head. It seemed crazy to be close to death and smile, but...
"He did it," Julian saw Kayden’s eyes that held no emotion other than emptiness but were still alive. In the fifth realm, you needed nothing but your mind to stay alive for weeks. It was painful and chaos of sensation from lost nerves and phantom muscles, but that didn’t matter to Kayden.
He saw the figure put another bolt of lightning into his hands, and this time, he felt that it wasn’t an attack on his life, which made him relax. The figure made the same slow movement that was instantaneous at the same time. The lightning consumed Kayden whole and destroyed any trace of his existence. Not even a hair was present. While the lightning was still descending like a punishment from the heavens, Kayden’s new body began to be remodeled.
The first thing that appeared was her crown with five jewels. The jewels and the crown changed slightly: the jewels became red and the crown became completely black with some red dots at the ends. Then Kayden’s brain was rebuilt inside the crown: his eyes, mouth, ears, hair, everything was instantly remade. His body began to take shape and almost instantly returned to its peak.
The sight of a person being shaped in milliseconds was impressive. All the details of a normal body were placed on Kayden, from nails to hair, everything was redone perfectly. Kayden’s soul was trapped by an invisible force. The world of souls was a ridiculously complex matter. Even manipulating space was easier. This was an area that only gods or special wizards had any mastery over.
Once the soul was placed in the body, Kayden fully regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, the heavens closed and the world returned to its normal appearance. Actually, not so normal, since for two thousand kilometers everything became… nothing.
"HAHAHAHA," Kayden opened his arms and started laughing. The strength that was in his body was ridiculous. His physical strength had risen to a completely bizarre level. He could probably face a Seven Rays Sixth Realm mage who specialized in physical strength.
His new body was perfect on so many levels he didn’t even know where to start. But the most impressive thing wasn’t even that, it was his path and...
"10 thousand kilometers." Kayden’s spiritual sense range was completely ridiculous. This was five times greater than that of a seven-ray strong mage at the sixth realm. It was completely bizarre.
He felt like a god observing everything around him. It was a completely immense area of land. To be more exact, it had more than twice the area in its spiritual sense than the entirety of Asia. Finally, Kayden was feeling closer and closer to a god. The fifth realm was just the first step. This time, he truly felt like something more than a mere mortal. Its low-quantity conversion area has also increased by about ten times.
His strength was raised to a ridiculous level. Kayden had full confidence in fighting a seventh-realm mage right away. Eight rays took his strength to another level. He just needed to level up his spells as well.
Another priority was to get his ultimate technique to reach all ten thousand kilometers. This would take a while as it was a very large increase, but once he achieved it, his strength would receive another significant upgrade.

The pressure that Kayden caused everyone at that moment was on another level. Julian was even feeling threatened by his friend. His instincts screamed that he could die at any moment if he faced Kayden. This sensation only lasted a few seconds, until Kayden hid his aura completely.
