Psychic Inventor In Cultivation World - Chapter 352 Chapter 346 : : The Catalyst Appears

The crowd was in an uproar.

“Heavens! What’s happening?”

“Is it also the doing of this inheritance ground?”

“Er… No, the eye of the storm is not above it, do you think someone else did it, With the help of an array or something else..”

“Ridiculous! Do you know what you’re saying? I’m pretty sure even the supreme Calamity Lords can’t do it, controlling just wind or lightning is one thing but hell… The whole whether is turned upside down,”

“Yes, he is right, I can’t even feel the least bit of Qi used in it, and I have comprehended Wind Law but seriously… I don’t feel a single thing,”

“I was just saying… Maybe someone really did it?”

“Humph, you ignorant fool just don’t listen. If someone else did it then I will personally crush my sword into powder and eat it,”

Rex was inwardly satisfied by the reaction of people around, unlike him, they could not sense the existence of Psychic Energy. It was time for him to start the show.

“Now it’s time for the compensation,” Rex said in a loud tone.

His voice reverberated in the ears of everyone and they all looked at him.

Rex didn’t say another word, he just raised his hand in the air.

When others were still thinking about what he was intending to achieve, a thunder strike fell from the sky and headed towards him.

“Crap… That idiot has become the target of thunder stay away from him,”

“Run, scatter everyone,”

“Haha… Look, that idiot is dumbstruck, he even forgot to run out of fear,”

“He is going to burn like charred meat,”

Rex peeked at the people who were doing their best to mock him even when running for their lives.

‘If I was their maker, then I would be deeply ashamed when looking at these low IQ creatures,’ Rex though.

When the falling stream of the lightning was just one meter away from him, it changed its trajectory and swirled around his body like an obedient pet.

The long blood-red coat on Rex fluttered with the strong gusts of wind, the crackling thunder swirling around only made it look more domineering and enchanting.

When the people running away in fear saw this sight, they forgot to move their legs and fell to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Sung Lee in the distance was looking at the scene with wide eyes, because of earlier incidents he expected Rex to be a swordsman but the current situation was out of his wildest imagination.

“Let’s begin the show,” Rex said as he pointed at the Calamity Lord that had retreated to a safe distance and now was looked at Rex with a frown on his face.

…Crackle…Crackle…

On their way, countless thunder strikes combined with the stream of lightning Rex used to attack, to form a gigantic thunder python that roared then pounced on the man.

The man finally realized Rex’s motive, he frowned, he stomped the ground with his foot, and in the next second his body sunk deep into the ground.

The gigantic thunder python pounced on the place, the old man was standing a second ago.

..Booommm…

A big hole appeared on the ground but the old man was nowhere to be found.

“Hehe… You think you can escape after making me move?” Rex snapped his fingers.

All of a sudden the shape of the ground in a mile range changed, it became soft as water, a big wave rose into the air on both sides then crashed into each other.

Just before the clash, a figure jumped out from the wave on the right and fled into the sky.

“Still trying to hide your strength? You think you can keep your face now?” Rex smirked.

With a single thought, a big change occurred, all the lightning in the sky disappeared and got replaced by tiny snowflakes that started to fall from the sky.

Those snowflakes soon combined and turned into crystal clear ice spears.

‘Just how many laws did he fused?’ The man thought with an incredible expression on his face.

The Sky Body Formation experts in Middle Realm were superior to the ones in Higher Realm, both in terms of talent and comprehension skills, the only thing that bound them was the lack of resources and guidance. Law fusing is a far fetched dream for a Sky Body Formation expert of Higher Realm because resources alone cannot give them that but unlike them Sky Body Formation expert in Middle Realm had lived a long life, experienced ups and downs in their life, sharpening their skills, building their Dao way, they were the blades that got tempered again and again for over hundreds of years.

The man thought for a moment and sighed, he knew he couldn’t hide anymore. He didn’t use his strength before because if he got caught now and it was proven that he was a Calamity lord then he might attract the hatred of Two Calamity Lords while ridiculing of all.

He inhaled deeply then clasped his hands together.

‘Indestructible Golden Bell’

Shining Golden Qi permitted from his body and soon condensed into an illusory golden bell covering his whole body.

When the ice spears touched the bell they got destroyed without leaving a scratch on it.

The man noticed this and sighed deeply.

He looked at Rex and felt relieved.

‘Looks like things are negotiable,’ He thought.

The man didn’t think that Rex’s attack was weak and couldn’t hurt him but that Rex purposely decreased the power behind his attack, and this was indeed true. Even if Rex had used his full power it was hard to say if he could kill him in a single blow and if he cannot do it then he won’t even try, the reason is once he uses his full power other experts would be able to measure his strength and it’s not a good thing when he still hasn’t gotten his hands on the inheritance.

There was another reason for why the man thought so, Rex didn’t release his killing intent during this whole time, as a Calamity Lord he pretty much knows how strong the killing intent of Calamity Lord is, after all, every Calamity Lord had to walk the path dyed with blood to reach this stage. They need to grasp the fear of death before even thinking about trying to breakthrough to this stage.

He was about to speak when something happened.

Two men sneaked behind Rex and dashed at him with a pitch-black short sword in their hands.

“Just what the hell is wrong with your brains?” Rex turned and said in a disdainful tone when they were still several meters away from him.

The oval faced man was shocked, he ignored Rex’s words and shouted “Everyone attack him at once, he is focused on fighting Spirit Mountain Monarch, if we attack him now he can’t defend, anyone who succeeds I promise them one spirit…Ahhhh”

He was still speaking when he discovered something horrifying happening to himself, his hand that he was pointing at Rex was turning into dust in front of his own eyes, he hastily shook his hand but it only took a few seconds for his whole arm to disappear then it was the turn for his shoulder, his head… His whole body turned into ashes.

The second man’s condition was not different from him as he started to disintegrate at the same time, unlucky for him the first thing that disintegrated was his head.

Spirit Mountain Monarch looked at the disintegrated humans with wide eyes. This was something he had never seen before, and even after seeing it with his own eyes, he failed to understand the logic behind the technique.

As for feeling sympathy for those Green Mantis Sect’s assassins lusting for contribution, he was instead disdainful towards them.

Trying to assassinate a Calamity Lord? When did it become that easy, it’s like two rats trying to assassinate a lion.

Right now, Rex’s control over his techniques, skills, and abilities was on a whole different level even if they weren’t psychic abilities, he could execute them in a better way, bloodline abilities aren’t affected by physical status if the ability itself doesn’t work physically. Bloodline abilities are the abilities one gains indirectly through their lineage but it doesn’t mean they are related to blood or flesh’s strength or else the bloodline ability of a body cultivator would be far stronger than a Qi cultivator which isn’t the case.

[Where is the catalyst you talked about? Should we switch to Plan B?]

‘Be patient,’ Rex thought inwardly as he coldly glanced at the other people looking at him in fear.

His cold stare gave them chills down their spine.

“Fellow Daoists cease your anger,” A soothing voice, comfortable to ears reverberated in the surrounding.

‘Here is the catalyst,’ Rex laughed inwardly. He turned to look at the newcomer with a slight ‘frown’ on his face.

She was a woman in white, she was tall and wore a long white robe with a white cap on her head, a veil falling from the cap covered her face, except her plump figure her whole body was hidden in her white fabric.

When Rex looked at her, he noticed a faint golden light emitting from her body.

‘She practices a Buddhist technique?’ Rex thought.

Once someone reached the Sky Body Formation stage, their body is reformed under the influence of their cultivation technique, it’s a big change similar to the one cultivator from Lower Realm experiences when they breakthrough from Form Synthesis stage to Spirit King stage.

“So you have reinforcements? Looks like it was a bad idea to go easy on you,” Rex said with a solemn face. Although he said that, he already knew where the conversation is going, he was pretty sure that the woman will clear his ‘misunderstanding’ now.

But just at this time…

…Rrroooaaarrrr…

Am ear-piercing roar echoed in the sky, then a big claw tore the sheet of black clouds and a seven-headed gigantic beast made its appearance.

Lerna flew down to Rex and stood beside him, she then roared and looked at the two experts in front with anger-filled eyes.

Rex looked at her and blinked his eyes.

[Huh? Was it also a part of the plan? How I didn’t know it?]

‘Neither do I,’ Rex thought.

Lerna helping him without asking her to help was slightly out of his expectation.

He quickly collected his thoughts and looked at the woman in front.

“Now what would you do? You think you can gang up on me? Presumptuous! I even wonder if you two could make me change into my true form,” Rex said in a prideful tone.

The woman quickly snapped out of her daze and said

“Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand my intentions, I didn’t wish to help any side. I interfered to stop your fight because if the two of you fight here then countless innocent people would be harmed for no reason. Can you give me some face and cease your anger,” The woman said in a polite tone.

She didn’t say it directly but Rex clearly knew how much these powerhouses care about people from other sects, if they get the chance they would instead flare up the fire to weaken other sects. The only lives they really cared about were of their people.

The reason they interfered now was not Lerna alone but Rex too. It was to build a good image and get the friendship of two mysterious Calamity Lords at once.

Spirit Mountain Monarch was not a fool, he was an old monster so he quickly realized the woman’s intentions but the problem was even if he realized her intention he could do nothing, or else he would successfully acquire the hatred of two Calamity Lords.

When Lerna had told Rex that two other experts are observing him from the shadows except for the hidden Calamity Lord in the crowd, he knew that they were waiting for an opportunity. They would take action whether Spirit Mountain Monarch defeated him, accepted defeat, or decided to negotiate. They were making a profit in all three situations, it was just the ways that were different.

If Spirit Mountain Monarch won then it meant they could aim for Lerna or sell the information about her in case they weren’t interested.

If Spirit Mountain Monarch lost, they would take action in the last moment, helping Rex to gain his favour or helping Spirit Mountain Monarch to gain his favour, the latter was unlikely as he was an old monster that likely knew them for a long time and couldn’t be fooled easily.

And in case, Spirit Mountain Monarch tried to negotiate, it would lead to the current situation…

The Calamity Lords living in modern society are not wild, if things could be solved with words they regard to hide their strength. Especially when their enemy’s background is unknown and someone could come looking for revenge.

Rex knew it that’s why he made the scenario for the third condition himself and one of the two hidden experts showed herself without having the slightest idea that they were being manipulated by him.
