Furthermore, he seemed to be an eight-ray mage in all his glory. In summary, he was already strong, but with the world’s support, he became absurdly powerful. Kayden would finally have a worthy fight.
"Stop this..." he didn’t have time to continue because Kayden launched an aura slash directly at him.
"No," was all Kayden said, and the two murderous intents exploded. Neither of them needed to exchange any more words to understand that this would be a fight to the death, with only one winner.
The old man began casting thousands of fire spells instantly. He wasn’t going to waste any time and went all out from the start. Each of his attacks could kill a common seventh-realm mage in a single second.
Kayden immediately understood that in a prolonged fight, he would lose, as the old man had far more mana than he did. The entire world would be drained if necessary since the old man was its guardian.
All the space within ten thousand kilometers instantly turned into mana for Kayden’s use. Not only that but it was transformed into an aura slash without any delay. Kayden’s aura slash came out with insane power. All the fire spells were buried by the slash; it was simply too strong and crushed any chance of retaliation. The old man had to summon a massive wall of flames, using all the mana he could draw.
It was a colossal amount that clashed with what Kayden had gathered. The two attacks exploded against each other, and the shockwave traveled tens of thousands of kilometers. Weaker lifeforms simply died without even understanding what was happening.
This was the strongest battle the world had ever seen. Its outcome would decide the fate of this world—on one side, balance, and security, on the other, death and the end of all existence.
Kayden didn’t even blink as he conjured a second attack of the same intensity as the first. This time, the old man had to burn his life force in an incredible effort, manipulating the same amount of mana within his body once again.
The difference between him and Kayden was that while Kayden manipulated mana without any negative effects, the old man had to use it through his body. This made everything incredibly slower and more painful.
"Stop! Let’s talk! I am the guardian of the world, I cannot die!" the old man shouted in a millisecond. He managed to raise the barrier, but it was shattered into pieces.
Kayden’s attack continued and destroyed everything for thousands of kilometers. Not only that, but it buried the old man and pushed him dozens of kilometers underground. Fortunately for him, the attack was stopped by his barriers, nourished by the world’s mana.
Two attacks of such magnitude with no interval between them—this should have been Kayden’s limit, right? Unfortunately, the old man would never find out if his thoughts were correct. Kayden’s next aura slash erased him from existence before he could even comprehend it.
The third attack was the strongest of all because it came from the void. Since space there was more unstable, the amount of mana was usually greater, at least when Kayden converted it. In the past, it had been difficult for him to convert it, but now, no difficulty even crossed his mind.
An enormous ravine over 30,000 kilometers long appeared on the planet. At that moment, Kayden had truly done something impossible. He had practically created a new sea. Everything was being filled with water as the world desperately tried to restore balance.
Losing a guardian was an unbelievably huge blow to any world, causing it to quickly search for a replacement. Unfortunately, finding a new life capable of stopping Kayden would be impossible.
"Thank God," Han thanked himself for never disrespecting his master. That old man had been strong, but each of Kayden’s attacks made it seem as if a god were descending into this world.
Each aura slash carried the weight of an entire universe. Han couldn’t even think of defending against an attack of that magnitude. He finally understood that he still had much to train.
"Let’s continue. We’re going to cleanse every inch of this planet." Over the next few years, the two split up and began the greatest massacre this world had ever seen—or rather, that many worlds had ever seen.
Not a single living being was spared; even trees were deadly. Kayden truly wanted to reset this world to its earliest days. It took only one year for them to wipe out all living beings.
It was insane. The world reeked of death at that moment. It wasn’t an odor that could be smelled but rather felt. Death permeated every corner; there was absolutely nothing left for millions of kilometers.
The amount of mana in this place was decreasing more and more, something Kayden noticed as the number of beings diminished. He made a direct connection to the number of souls in the place.
In a way, they had practically introduced the law of death so strongly into this world that some undead had begun to emerge. It was the world’s desperate attempt to bring souls back and attract mana.
Kayden continued studying the world, while Han was studying death and despair itself. It wouldn’t take long for Han to reach the seventh realm at this point, no more than a few months. The laws of death and despair were incredibly strong here.
Kayden wasn’t too concerned with these laws but with the world itself. It was much more interesting for him to study the world’s reaction as it tried in every way to create life and draw souls back to it. It was practically a rational being.
The more Kayden eliminated life forms, the more they emerged from somewhere—whether in a small patch of grass or a skeleton being cleansed to hold a soul. It was incredible. Kayden had never seen anything like it before.
Another thing was the laws of death in this world; they were terrifyingly strong. Kayden couldn’t fight against them at that moment. He felt his mind trying to force him to kill himself as the years passed. Fortunately, it was nothing too serious.
