The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 281

Thol’Yr felt the potent and powerful blood essence produced by the body of the red haired man. His head danced with the wind as he gazed at the new arriving winged humanoid figure.

Strong! Akainmhar’s first impression of the flying figure- at the head of the group of godly existence- that had appeared was that the man was strong.

His pure and holy winged human like body, albeit well defined and muscle, didn’t hide the strength hidden in it. Akainmhar’s senses screamed danger as the humanoid creature in front of him caused his skin to crawl.

His senses didn’t lie to him as pure excitement made his skin shiver as he felt that he had finally found an opponent that would force him to go past his limits.

Compared to how he looked, Akainmhar wasn’t young at all and was closer to Sifiso’s age than to Fell’s age. The strong body cultivator had fought many times throughout his life, exceeding his limit through fights as he shed his blood and sweat in pursuit of his martial ideal.

The discovery of his blood treasure caused him to develop even faster, making him quickly attain the peak of the second realm of body cultivation.

But then, he had stagnated for the past twenty years, incapable of taking a step toward that mythical third realm. Through those many dry years, he had come to find his lacking truth. He needed to bet once again his life in the line against a strong opponent.

Sadly, rare were those who could face him in the second realm, and even rarer those that could force him through his limit. With those factors, and the fact that a being with a strength similar to the third step couldn’t be found in any corner.

And it was only because the red haired man had smelled the turmoil incoming to this city that he had decided to come back after nearly half a century had passed.

The winged being gazed at the man in front of it. Its eyes turned into slits as it saw a mangled figure laying in the floor, arms locked in a direction where they should be, broken legs with injuries where a shiny yellow bone could be seen. But the worst was the head that was crushed in the same way as one would do with a watermelon.

Yet he also noticed that the life force of Kha’Le was coursing through his body, hovering narrowly near death’s door as his powerful vitality tried healing him.

“Looks like I will be needing this.”, exclaimed the red haired man in a nonchalant way. And akin to the way one would pluck an apple from a table- through the injury laying everywhere on the creature’s body- he plucked the abundant blood essence with an activation of his treasure.

Akainmhar slowly lifted his hand toward the bloodied living carcass that was trying to regenerate. The winged entity felt an alarm rung through her mind as he understood the intent of the red haired man’s action. He moved into action, but the treasure’s effect had taken place nearly instantly.

“How dare you!?”, he roared as he felt that he had been insulted.

Killing someone he had considered his peer- albeit he always deemed himself as the rightful superior and leader due to his statue and strength- had caused his to feel insulted, and even mocked as he always saw his peer’s life as valuable assets for the organization behind them.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”, responded the red haired man as he ignored the blatant threat. He blocked the winged entity through his path toward Kha’Le. A confident grin appeared on his face as he began absorbing the blood essence in the godly entity. He had already killed one of them and had put another in a state nearly similar to the first one, finishing his job wouldn’t make a difference as he had already considered them as prey.

Thousands of thin streams of a red bubbling blood essence flew out from the dying entity. They coursed through the air in a steady speed before disappearing the moment they made contact with Akainmhar.

The treasure sensed the urgency in its user as it accelerated the process of the absorption, with a red flash of light glinting twice before disappearing the next moment. Changes took place in the thin stream of blood essence that bulged in an instant, nearly every drop of blood essence in the entity disappeared from his dead corpse.

As sudden was the red flash of light, the absorption of the blood essence sped to the point where it ended the moment the flash of light disappeared.

Silence preceded the action as the winged entity didn’t move for a few seconds. The pure and beautiful face had taken a sudden turn from anger to being completely void of any expression, and as time passed, the expression on the face darkened till it could be seen as being grim.

“Good! Good! Good!”. A smile appeared on the entity’s face as its intent spread everywhere around it. “For having to find a fine treasure, and not having lost it to anyone before, I can only reward you with death.”

“I shall not mourn his death as it will be in my benefits!”, his winged opened widely as light gathered toward him in a godly manner. The surroundings of the red haired man turned dark as every speck of light existing there gathered on the godly entity, that now scintillated brightly like the sun did in the sky every day.

Time seemed to come to a stop as the winged entity began lifting its hand. The power shared by the cultivator of the third realm seeped out of its pore as it began slowly lifting one his hands forward. He was pointing his finger straight at the red haired man.

In the eyes of the red haired man, his sight had been nearly negated by the blinding effect of the light surrounding the winged entity. By now, he relied fully on his other senses to determine the position of the man in front of him. For someone like him, every single one of his senses alone could do the job when it came to judge the position of an opponent.

Light orbs continued gathering around the winged man before traveling toward the finger that was in the process of being lifted.

The action disappeared in a split second. In the next moment, the red haired man sensed a drop in temperature in his surroundings. An alarm rang in his mind as he knew that he needed to move.

“If I don’t dodge this attack, I will die!”, he thought as he knew that his body would completely disintegrate from the man’s attack if he didn’t react in that instant.

His leg moved- bulging in a split second as he crouched down- and the soil under his leg turned into dust. Usually, in a situation like these, with one second realm cultivator fighting a third realm cultivation, one would generally avoid making a frontal assault when facing an attack.

But that was exactly what the red haired man decided to do. In that split second, he judged that the short distance separating them was negligible from existence like them.

Crack! The red haired man appeared in front of the winged entity. His red hair was standing tall on his head as numerous veins had turned his body into a terrifying sight to behold.

“Pointing at strangers is quite impolite!”, he exclaimed softly as he didn’t stop in his movement after breaking one finger.

Pain filled the entity’s mind as it seemed to have forgotten the pain of being injured through its many years of being a third realm cultivator. Its eyes focused the moment he saw the red haired man began moving toward another stance.

He slithered through his arm and grabbed his shoulder as he tried taking the whole arm out with a mystical locking technique.

A grim expression appeared on the winged entity’s expression, if look could kill, then the angel like entity’s look would have already taken the soul of all of the red haired man’s ancestry. His winged blinked as they turned a pure color of white, sublime, and holy as though they had been taken out of an angel’s body.

His feather glittered as they released the light they had been absorbing. A blinding flash of light surprised the red haired man, and a steaming hot sensation spread to the skin that was in contact with the winged entity’s body.

It was as though the light particle hovering around the winged entity became agitated as the energy they release rose in an instant. Then, the winged entity’s body blinked, as the red haired man felt the lock he had on the man disappear with it.

“I expected at least that of the third realm…”, mumbled the red haired man with piercing eyes as he sighed before turning to the place where the winged entity had appeared.
