The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 294
The glistening purple sky that acted like the Earth of his Soul Palace opened up. It was as though a rift had always existed inside it, one that had hidden tremendous power amidst the glassy purple expanse.
It was as though a glassy sky had broken, and from within those numerous broken shards erupted a tremendous power that quickly acc.u.mulated into a deafening roar. The roar shook his Soul Palace, making it vibrate to the point where his ego body turned transparent for a moment.
“Push through!”, he encouraged himself as he gritted his teeth. His mind cleared up for a second, as he felt the relentless intent hidden inside of the purple expand of his Soul Palace turned into a dominant force in his body.
The deafening roar didn’t stop at his Soul Palace, as it made its inside of his body, and even spread out in the atmosphere inside of the bestial formation.
Akainmhar’s eyes glinted as his surprised state of mind was reflected on his iris. He recognized a few characteristics in the intent and quickly compared it with Fell’s old aura. The two sensations superimposed as he came to understand that he had awakened something deeply sleeping inside of Fell’s new ego body. Something that shouldn’t have exploded outward without some external assistance.
“This is definitely good news…”, he mumbled as he continued overviewing the phenomenon caused by the deafening roar. It was as though a giant had been awakened from a long sleep, as an archaic aura appeared around the young cultivator standing in front of the red haired man.
The roar spread in the distance, turning a shrilling shock wave that reverberated through the massive formation composed of thousands of creatures.
At first, the roar didn’t cause anything to the formation, but the power hidden in it didn’t take long to manifest, as the circuit of blood essence and slaughter aura that composed the significant parts of the formation began showing signs of dysfunction.
Knots began appearing in the formation, as every bestial entity that had before worked as a group within the array, began acting in a singular egoistic manner.
As if the deafening roar had awakened their shambled ego, screaming to their souls, screaming to open their eyes and to comprehend the situation they were in. As though it was stimulating them, and the dormant instinct that had stopped functioning under the bestial aray.
Their survival instinct kicked in, as part of their consciousness awakened, and noticed the ravaged state their bodies was in.
A few seconds after the giant’s roar reverberated out of Fell’s body, hundreds upon hundreds of beasts opened their maws and roared, chills traversed the body of Akainmhar as he felt the heretical intent in the creatures of the beast army.
His eyes opened wide as he hadn’t expected that his interference inside of Fell’s Soul Palace would cause that to arise.
During their roars, the beasts regained their movements as they began wreaking havoc around them.
The strength in their bodies- no longer comparable to their past state before the initiation of the massive Formation by Thol’Yr- turned the surroundings, north of New Casablanca, into a seismic hell with humongous clouds rising from the earth.
The sole exception, being in the beast where the pair of cultivator stood upon, that seemed also to have regained it’s consciousness- shown from the complete cessation of its absorption of energy- but had nonetheless decided to continued standing still.
It was as though, it knew that roar that freed them had come from the humans on its back, thus making it feel favorable toward them.
Or was it simply the terrifying build-up of energy that whiffed out of the pore of Fell’s body.
“Crap, without the formation, those beasts have once again turned into fierce f.u.c.kers…”, exclaimed Akainmhar as his eyes watchfully glanced at the change in behaviors of the numerous beasts. A few, enraged by the state they had been slaved out of any freedom of thought or even existence, began running havoc, killing their peers in an attempt to feel once again alive.
A few, unusually intelligent, immediately darted out of the array of beasts, their mind hellbent of leaving the cursed array.
Sadly, their bodies had since long been corroded into existence that shouldn’t have ever been birthed naturally. And If they could happen to stay alive- even in that state where their genomes had been turned into an indescribable follow up of error of natures- before, it was merely due to the excessive energy shared through the array that made them survive the horrifying state their bodies had been turned into.
The first few beasts that managed to leave the formation swiftly turned into clouds of clothed blood essence that augmented the range of effect of the bestial formation.
A formation that didn’t completely stop working, as a few beasts didn’t abandon it. No one knew if they choose that option, under their intense thirst of strength, or simply because they noticed that their bodies could no longer be saved.
Among the beasts inside of the array, nearly a quarter of them didn’t break their connection with the formation, as the giant’s roar that escaped from Fell’s Soul Palace died down after one defiant roar from them. As for the rest, it was as though a heretical movement had been birthed among the minds of the monstrosities, one that entered a maddened state.
Towering monstrosities launched at each other, their nightmarish jaw would snap open, biting off a chunk of flesh the size of a small house. And soon, the unmoving towering creature the pair of cultivator stood upon had turned into collateral damage of the many beasts that had been fighting nearby.
Thankfully, the red haired Akainmhar didn’t find it difficult to send the massive creatures tumbling away toward the places where the most infighting happened among the monstrosities. But, as the towering creatures they stood upon didn’t move particularly, and wasn’t fearsome enough, it was constantly chosen as a prey making the red haired man acted more with passing seconds.
Fell couldn’t yet moved, his mind might have received a boost from the undying intent, but he was also still under the control of the array as the enormous loss of circuit parts in the formation caused a massive influx of slaughter aura toward Fell.
Under the loss of nearly seventy percent of the creatures, it was as though, the formation had decided to take revenge on the cultivator that had caused the loss. Making him assume the entirety of the slaughter aura contained in the formation, and due to that, would make it possible for the rest of the creature to continue evolving.
He gritted his teeth, as he absorbed every wisp of slaughter aura inside of his own sea of slaughter, before directing the majority of it toward his sword.
Soldier’s Fortune released wisps upon wisps of a powerful sword intent. It wasn’t Fell’s own sword intent, but one that was beginning to form inside of his sword naturally.
Nurtured and refined by the strong slaughter aura released by the beast, this sword intent was sharp but released an animalistic vibe that made one doubt if the inside of the black colored sword didn’t contain the soul of hundreds of creatures.
Aided by his sword, Fell didn’t find it difficult to redirect and even contain the constant influx of slaughter aura that was directed to him by the formation. But any kind of physical movement was nearly impossible, as a momentary loss of focus the frenzied aura to run havoc inside of his Soul Palace, something that he definitely didn’t want to happen.
Thanks to the giant’s roar, the relentless intent existing in his ego body and Soul Palace completely awakened, and made the balance between the red slaughter sea and the glistening purple expanse that had been lost due to the formation, seamlessly reappear.
Seconds continued spilling, as Akainmhar continued taking care of any monstrosity that came close to them, and by the fifth minute that passed after the roar, even he began finding it difficult to hold on in front of the successive attack.
Sometimes, he would be forced to repel five towering creatures- the size of a small building- by himself. At some point, during a small break, his ankle rose slightly before falling back in a pendulum pattern, the movement was minute, and the impact even less noticeable.
But the creature he stood on felt a completely different sensation, as a strong wave raged through its thick flesh and bones, making it swiftly understand that he was starting to become annoyed.
The beast opened its humongous black hole like mouth, and a deafening roar escaped from it- extremely similar to the giant’s roar that had left Fell’s body before- and washed through the creatures hundreds of meter nearby her position. Yet, the creature didn’t move, firmly hellbent on standing there as it felt that the man that caused the appearance of the giant’s roar didn’t order her.
