The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 301
The moment he heard the roar, Akainmhar’s ears and mind found it remarkably similar to the first roar that freed the beasts from the Bestial Formation. Only this time, the booming sound had a completely different intent hanging on it.
If the first one had been all about defiance, and relentless pursuit of a better path, then, this titanic howl the shadowy figure in the sky had released was nothing more than a revelation of its existence.
Every creature and life form that caught the deafening roar in their senses stopped their movements. Even the ravenous beasts that were too occupied at emptying the inside of their peers; had taken out their bloodied maw from the opened up belly of a living carcass and gazed at the sky.
The intelligent yet maddened creatures seemed to have fully understood that second roar. Or to be more exact had comprehended the intent behind that roar.
Thus, the moment that followed that mighty roar that had shaken the heaven, silence had fallen entirely upon the army of beasts.
Even their exceedingly strong breathe stopped, as every creature hid its respiration, turning the powerful nasal pumps into shallow pipes that only inhaled small wisp of air.
It was as though every single creature on the battlefield had made its self smaller under the appearance of the shadowy giant in the sky.
Akainmhar’s eyes gazed at the giant in the clouds, and notice two glints in the place where the eyes should have been.
“How much did this youth acc.u.mulate before breaking through!”, he exclaimed softly as he couldn’t understand how a breakthrough to the Second Realm could cause this much phenomenon.
He was aware that the youth practiced three cultivation path at the same time, thus making him the owner of three cultivation bases.
Compared to him, the phenomenon caused by Akainmhar’s third breakthrough had been far less imposing and had even left him asking himself If he was also special, to begin with.
“Well… I guess the Bestial Formation must have played an important role in this process.”, he added softly under his breath.
His eyes moved from the giant in the sky to a figure standing across the towering beast he held on, and noticed that the influx of Slaughter Aura was reducing. Or to be more exact, the absorption coming from Fell’s body had risen to a whole other level.
Each second that passed made the pillar of red aura thin and turn even more transparent.
Ten seconds after the deafening giant’s roar, Fell’s absorption made the pillar of slaughter aura ridiculous to the point where it couldn’t even be described as a pillar.
Fell’s figure appeared in bright daylight, the red color in his hair had receded to the point where only a few strands of hair had stayed a crimson color.
The rest of his hair had regained their original black color, as the influence of the sea of slaughter in his body receded in front of the balance that had formed in his Soul Palace. His eyelid trembled, and the next moment, a pair of crystalline flashed in the void.
One pupil was red, while the other was purple. And the moment they were opened, Akainmhar felt a chill run down the surface of his skin as a similar pair of eyes appeared in his mind, as though they had peered through his secret.
“How?!”, he asked himself while raising his defense. Both of them now stood on the Second Realm of cultivation, and none of them should have been able to pry open the other’s secrets.
Fell recognized the man standing in the distance, his eyes calmly moved toward his surroundings, and the first thing he noticed in the army of creatures around him was that there were standing completely still. Silence had embedded itself in the atmosphere, and even the soft wind around them could be clearly heard.
He drew his senses inside of his body, as he began noticing the drastic changes that had begun to his cultivation bases.
“I can sense that all three of my cultivation bases have broken thro-“, he exclaimed before coming to a stop when he noticed his Soul Palace.
He opened his eyes and tilted his head upward, his pupil turned into slits the moment he saw the shadowy giant hidden behind the clouds. “My ego body…”, he mumbled softly as he continued moving through the changes that happened to him.
The blood coursing through his vein was nothing compared to before, and the strength of his blood essence made him even doubt if he could be fatally injured.
The lightning-based energy that coursed through his meridians had completely turned into a liquid, and that process had even extended to the Heaven and Earth Energy held inside of his Dantian.
Every change that had happened to his cultivation bases entered his mind in a few seconds. Although he wasn’t aware of what every one of them meant, he knew that this rise of strength was more important than every other breakthrough he had in his short life as a cultivator.
His eyes opened once again, only this time, confidence about his strength, and confidence when it came to facing the Formation he was linked, could be clearly seen in his eyes. A smile slowly itself on his lips, and his figure moved in a single motion.
He threw his head to the back, his hair danced in the wind as a deafening howl escaped from his throat. The air in front of him shook visibly as his roar turned into a shock wave that spread to the entirety of the army of beasts in an effortless manner.
That roar was a declaration from Fell, one that caused every single beast in the battlefield to cower in front of his might. Akainmhar saw the scene unravel in front of his eyes, that roar wasn’t aimed at him, but a terrible sensation crawled on his skin as he felt the power hidden inside of that body.
That roar had escaped from the youth’s throat, and after spreading away for a few seconds, began clearing the dark clouds that were hanging in the air above their head. Wisps of sunlight broke through the veil of darkness that had been set up by the sea of billowing clouds.
After one ray of light broke through the veil of darkness, it was as though a sporadic infection had been orchestrated, and the clouds in the sky began receding away. And what had been hidden behind those clouds finally entered the sight of every single life form that was standing in the north outside of New Casablanca.
What first appeared was a pair of eyes- their colors were similar to Fell’s own eyes- except that each eyeball seemed to form a purple-red diagram that continuously circled in a mystical way. Then, with the receding clouds, what appeared next were parts of the giant’s body, slowly unraveling in front of the surprised eyes of the numerous life forms present.
A golden-colored flash that seemed to have been melted out of a pure crystalline rock, with well defined physical feature that were exactly identical to Fell’s body. Akainmhar’s eyes only needed a single instant to recognize the giant as being a materialization of Fell’s own energy.
The golden-colored giant had appeared in front of everyone in the north part of New Casablanca. Strength and might was reflected in every inch of his body, and the next moment he mimicked Fell as the illusory giant raised his head toward the sky, blocking him, and defiantly roared towards it.
The wind accelerated, and space’s solid fabric warped under the deafening sound. The earth under their leg trembled as every creature standing there shivered, as though their realm of existence was too different compared to the illusory giant in the sky.
Wind clapped, and the next moment, a torrent of lightning materialized around the giant, appearing out of thin air. The sparks of lightning were at first hazardous, running havoc in the sky around the giant, but soon found a medium to their destruction and begun circling the illusory giant.
Those specks of lightning regrouped around the giant, and formed a circular shape similar to a snake circling around the body of the giant. One only needed a look to notice indents in the circular lightning, although hundreds of glinting scales had formed on its body.
What followed the formation of the lightning beast was another roar, only this time, the roar didn’t come from the giant, but from the sentient lightning surrounding it. A pure and distinct draconian roar that sent a chill running down the spine of Akainmhar.
“How much did he acc.u.mulate in those little years of practice!?”, he mumbled softly under his breath. His mind reeled and screamed under the reveal of Fell’s strength.
But that wasn’t the end of his shock, as, after the appearance of the giant, another change took place in the sky. One that made the air screeches and wept, as though a sharp entity was appearing from the void.
