…
After crossing the extensive forest for a long time, a mighty, ten-thousand-meter high mountain struck Leylin’s eyes.
The mighty imposing mountain dominated the skyline; masses of white clouds hovered around in the middle of the mountain flank. The mountain peak pierced straight up into the sky. Each striking lightning like a giant dragon minced around the giant mountain, discharging powerful electric streams.
On the giant mountain, ancient trees and deep black caves intensely scattered around the mountain cliffs. Many big beasts appeared, howling from the inside of the caves. The howls had a strange, powerful energy that terrified people.
When these howls reverberated, the vibrations churned up in Leylin’s sea of consciousness; and although he wasn’t affected due to his defences, but any normal warrior’s soul consciousness would not be stable in such a condition.
‘What a peculiar beast, I have never seen them before. Their soul is also very particular. Thus, their howls can badly hurt the ordinary warriors.’ Leylin looked at the far away beasts with a vigilant and intrigued expression.
“Booooa, Boohoo boohoo!”
As Leylin was scanning the beasts suddenly strange noises like a baby crying came out from one cave on the Beast Mountain.
When that peculiar crying resounded, inside of that crave instantly emitted many flows of the gray yin aura. This gray miasmatic aura spread out violently and quickly, covering the entire small area in just a blink.
‘What a strong yin energy, it’s even more vigorous than Yin filed of Dead Swamp where the Fake Gate of Heaven opened and I created Yin Pearls.’
A bunch of large figures was dancing in the middle of the gray aura, coming down the Beast Mountain together with the gray aura, walking towards an icy lake in the distance.
Leylin body eyelashes shivered while he was staring at the place where the gray aura gathered trying to discern the cause of this effect.
Instantly long skinny figures zoomed through the gray miasmatic aura, quickly descending as if they wanted to wrap and tie Leylin.
Leylin stood unmoving as many long thin figures appeared more and more clearly inside that fuzzy aura. They were a particular kind of beast with a human child face, a dreary pale look, and a mouth full of fangs. This creature was three meters tall with a sturdy body, a white child-like face, and long fangs. It looked terribly scary.
The Childlike Beasts body projected a powerful miasmatic yin aura. The soul of this creature was unique. They seemed to have a particular layer of flesh in their brain to prevent any soul attacks. Their movement was very fast. With a slight sway, they were in the air plunging more than ten meters.
Three Child Beast appeared in a short moment, showing their fangs and claws, closely approaching the alone Leylin below.
‘Hmm..’ Leylin paid attention to these beasts and found that although his Sea of Consciousness was already formed and was extremely powerful for a mere First Sky Of Nirvana Realm but he still couldn’t attack these beast’s souls.
“Boohoooooo.”
The three Child Beast cried out like babies. Their white fangs quickly became sharper and longer; red blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths. That looked terribly horrible.
The three Child Beast had already been not far from him, besieging Leylin. All the while Leylin didn’t even take them seriously but was rather interested so he kept on experimenting.
The Child Beast were flying around, dragging flows of bleary smoke. Their speed was extremely fast, but Leylin’s eyes could follow their figures easily. He could swiftly rely on his soul consciousness to identify their direction.
During the short confrontation, Leylin had a weird feeling that perhaps the three demon children could have realized something about Leylin or that they decided cannot kill him yet, hence they were only besieging him and seeming to wait for something.
“Reinforcement?”
“Shriek shriek.” Three Child Beast kept shrieking and crying nonstop. Some responding sounds sometimes reverberated from a cave somewhere on the Beast Mountain not far from their current place.
“Surely, they are calling for more Beasts to come but why so early? They haven’t even properly engaged in combat, can they perceive danger from me? Keen senses.”
“Well no matter I can’t let them make a ruckus and attract the attention of others, I’ll just deal with them immediately.” Leylin thought as the rapidly flashing blue hue in his eyes receded and he cracked his knuckles.
His A. I. Chip quickly scanned the beast and within a short amount of time it displayed the results and it’s outcome was similar to his own analysis.
In actuality, Leylin doesn’t need A. I. Chip to scan different opponents for weakness because with the Spiritual sense and his own deduction, Leylin is more than able to formulate a plan of action in a swift and precise manner.
It was just Leylin habit to record data about new types of specimens and objects he encounters as well as create a distinction for different new things he experiences.
“Such strong yin power, the most effective mean of attack would obviously be the fire type. Well if I had a fire type Heaven Flame then they would be weak as chicken even a Sky Realm version of these beasts would be for the picking, but….beggars can’t be choosers. Next to Sky Flame is Earth Flame and although I don’t possess a yang attributes flame either, I did absorb the Sun Core which won’t fall behind one in comparison. Lastly is Human Flame.. Conventionally someone can only possess one by birth, being born with a fire type Marital Spirit but I am an exception to that rule.”
“With the combination of a prototype of the last two types of flames, although it’s effect won’t be very overbearing it’s still handy enough to deal with you lot.” Leylin stretched his hands as a whole chain of odd looking complex runes started to draw in his Sea of Consciousness. These runes had astoundingly sticking similarities to the structure of spell models! Although Leylin has been able to create a short cut method for using different spells but now as a Nirvana Realm warrior and possessing a Sea of consciousness at last, Leylin can finally create a spell model and unlike the previously watered down imitation, these can exhibit true prowess of his spell!
Cultivation World and Magus World are similar in ways but also very different, one of the ways to see such a difference is the existence and manipulation of Sea of consciousness or Soul Sea.
Although similarly to Magus World, the spiritual sense that is manifested at the Disaster realm( homologous to Rank 1 Magus) in Grace Mainland is similar but it still doesn’t possess the same characteristics that an Official Magus Spiritual Sea had. One of which is the ability to draw runes and create spell models.
This ability is only exhibited when one reaches Nirvana Realm, even when they are comparable to Peak Rank 2 or Rank 3 Magus. This is one of many ways in which both the ways of strength are so similar yet so different!
Leylin with his knowledge of Magus World as well as his manipulation of elements was able to previously use spells but they were much weaken not able to efficiently express true strength of the said spell but now the story is different.
“Latent Fireball!”
Somewhere from within the darkness veiled inside Leylin’s Sea of consciousness, several compact indistinguishable runes exploded with strength and black colored fireballs suddenly appeared.
His consciousness slightly flickered. Flames suddenly flew out from his body, instantly gathering and turning into fire clouds expanding next to his extended hand. Each group of fire clouds contained his consciousness, quickly dashing toward the three Child Beast and wrapping them.
“Screech screech screech.”
Three Child Beast made strange ear-piercing shrieks. Seeing the burning fires coming, they hastily ran away with fear in their dark blue eyes.
“Oh no you don’t.” Leylin smiled while his spirits had some transformations again.
The black fire clouds abruptly exploded, turning into countless fire points of light covering the entire area. The fire points of light were intense and dense like drizzling rain, covering every corner of this area. After the explosion, the number of the fire points of light had compensated for their moderate power, leaving the three Child Beast with no place to hide.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle.”
White smoke instantly rose up as soon as the fire points of light hit the three Child Beast’s bodies. The black fire points of light were like the strongest corrosive in the world, rotting their bodies in a blink because their bodies were made of the icy miasmatic aura. As soon as the fire points of light touched the Child Beast, they eroded the Child Beast’s bodies creating big holes immediately.
Those black fire points of light of Leylin’s spell conquered these Child Beast’ bodies. The fire points of light scattered everywhere in the sky. The three Beasts cried out terribly while their bodies smoked. Thus, their movements were also getting much slower.
“Latent Fireball debuts in the Cultivation World!”
Leylin turned his attention the three Blue Demons Crystal Pearls were hovering about in the air. His Profound Qi then quickly pulled them into his hand, “The Demons Crystal Pearls.”
“Hiss hiss hiss.”
Flows of gray smoke flew out one after one from inside of the Sound Beast Mountain. When the gray aura flooded the area, many strange Sound Beasts stormed out from the mountain.
There was variety in the appearances of the beasts. Some were like Apes with two curved horns on their heads, some were like Tigons, some were like the Scale Amour Beasts… A bunch of them had different shapes with furious icy auras on their bodies. They should be the Beasts dwelled inside of the Beast Mountain.
*Krrrrrr!*
A shrieking sound echoed from the left of the Sound Beast Mountain. Not long after that, many black points appeared on the left of the Beast Mountain. Leylin didn’t pay them any attention as he kept walking away, as if the whole ordeal has nothing to do with him.
“Eh!”
While walking for a few minutes Leylin raised his head above and squinted to have a careful look, and he suddenly made the outline of an unorthodox creature, “Winged Men?”
A bunch of black points in a distance looked like humankind with wings. The differences between them and the others were the wings growing from their backs and a sturdy body shape.
Five guys of the Wings Race had wicked appearances, hooked nose, and cold eyes. They flapped their wings flying out from behind the Beast Mountain towards Leylin’s place very fast.
Leylin knitted eyebrows and thought, ‘Perhaps the commotions of the Beasts have disturbed these Winged Men.’
Five men of the Wings Race flapped their gray wings, quickly zooming to Leylin’s location.
In a short moment, the five men of the Wings Race arrived in front of Leylin. They stayed away in the distance, throwing a sharp glance at him.
Their cold eyes were even more freezing. One of the guys in the lead unfriendly looked at Leylin with a savage smile and said, “Humankind, unexpectedly!”
Leylin glanced at them once and blinked his eyes lazily. All of these five men of the Wings Race were just at the Earth Realm.
‘They would be a good source of Intel, the one in the front is the leader.. others are not needed.’
“Yes, I am indeed a human.”
“I hate humankind!” The man of the Winged Man forced a cold smile and then asked, “Answer me, how did you come here? How many of your fellows are there? If you don’t tell me, I will let you know that venturing into the Wings Race’s territory is a fearful thing.”
“Wings Race’s territory?” Leylin repeated looking at them once again.
“Hahaha, Everything here belongs to the Wings Race’s territory. Obviously, this place is not an exception.” The guy looked arrogant.
Leylin could see at one glance that arguing or conversing with this arrogant prick is just smashing your head against a wall so, he didn’t bother instead Leylin immediately attacked without reservations.
Leylin released soul attack against them, he decided to defeat them in the most swift and clean way without any need to messy his hands.
His sea of consciousness sparked with various rays of light immediately attacking the heads of the so-called Wings Race.
“Hm?” Leylin expression changed abruptly as he felt something unusual. His soul attack was astonishingly hindered, it was as if it suddenly encountered a tough obstacles while trying to break through into his opponent consciousness.
“Stupid humankind, How dare a lowly creature attack us! I will make you wish that you would be better dead than alive. The one who insults Harward Grey doesn’t dream to have an easy death.”
When the Wings Race’s man flapped his wings, each of the sharp wind swords shrieked and flew out, creating many glowing lights in the air flaring up and immediately disappearing.
The other two men of the Wings Race with cold, gloomy eyes were behind him, one on the left and one on the right. They were protecting the man in the middle.
The face of the Wings Race’s man was malignant; his eyes shot out a cold ray of light. A flow of murderous aura slowly spread out from his gray wings all of a sudden. Gently flapping his wings, the man of the Wings Race deliberately moved towards Leylin. Sharp wind swords condensed and emitted dazzling splendid light on his way approaching Leylin. The wind power hidden inside those swords was very terrifying.
“A.I.Chip!”
[Beep! Scanning…. Scan complete! Unknown Humanoid Creature! Second Sky Of Earth Realm! High Physical Stats! The creature has two wings appendages with great strength! The brain structure of the creature is very special, and it seemed to be able to prevent the invasion of the spiritual powers like a soul isolator. Soul consciousness could not intrude into their brains easily.The target also possess an unknown soul imprint of a higher ranked creature.]
“Oh? So so very interesting..” Leylin who faced the brutal onslaught of the Wings race wasn’t disheartened nor was he bothered, although they are very impressive to defend against him. Leylin haven’t used his full powers. Obviously he didn’t thought to go all out against mere Earth Realm Warriors but now..
Under the attack of those sharp wind swords, Leylin beamed out a faint smile; his face didn’t show any fear. His body stood unmoving against those wind swords.
‘Hehehe… It seems you have an impressive background, so you must have a lot of interesting information and intel for me. ‘ Leylin laughed eyeing the leader wings race Harward.
“Seal.” Leylin said out loud while lifting the Fallen Star Pendant around his neck launching a dazzling light.
Harward and others weren’t even able to move as the Fallen Star Pendant emitted the sharp silver light dashing towards him.
However, before the silver lights darting towards him reached him, it broke into many silver points of light and binded quickly onto all the limbs of his body quickly including his two wings!
The silver lights were like shackles and it completely immobilized him. Harward expression changed dramatically; his sturdy body ceased in the air.
The tremendous, profound Qi inside his body was sealed completely. No matter how much he flapped his wings it was useless.
The other Wings Race warriors saw this and wanted to help but Leylin instantaneous assault beat them to the punch.
He unleashed a few Life and Death Seal that dashing and piercing towards them. Boisterous explosive sounds continually reverberated; that forest went off completely silent and only dismembered corpses were left of the Wings Race.
“You!?” Harward howled in anger and fear looking at Leylin with fear, anger and hatred. These feelings were retaliated by a carefree and malicious smile from Leylin.
“Yes, me.”
